  1. 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.


    • I was thinking the same thing.


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


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


  3. that specs for 14.9K? nah !
    meizu na lng or SM crystal:) better spec, camera and screen resolutuion.


  4. 1500mAh. para kang bumili ng sports car na kailangan magpa-gas kada 1 kilometer.


    • wagas kung maka “ewwwww” baka mumurahin lang yang phone mo..

      ok pa nga yan eh.. kahit ang galaxy s ii 480×800 ang resolution..

      bumili ka na lang ng S iii in which di mo naman maafford.


  5. Even though I don’t like S3 mini, can you make a review about it? xD


  6. This should have been named the Galaxy Ace III.
