It’s a nice phone and all, but they should have skipped this and went straight to the Galaxy S II Plus. (http://www.yugatech.com/mobile/samsung-galaxy-sii-gets-a-jelly-bean-clone/comment-page-1/#comment-555428) :(

This is basically a reskinned Galaxy S Advance using the S3 design.

ikr?
sana nilakihan nila ang capacity ng battery.
matolerate naman ang dagdag na bigat basta it works longer

Not bad, seems like they used the Galaxy S Duos body and shoved the Ace 2’s components with an extra 200 Mhz on the processor and Jelly Bean out of the box.
