Expect the Galaxy Ace Plus to be in the Php15k range when it arrives in the country next month.

  1. I would prefer SAMSUNG GALAXY W I8150 if the price is more than 15k.

  2. Samsung is making it hard for us consumers to decide on what to buy and when to buy since a newer and better phone always comes out immediately.

  3. Still a bad looking phone.

  4. And this won’t be updated to ICS, like their Galaxy S line. Just get the Nexus S SLCD version, around the same price now but with Android 4.0

  5. SAMSUNG! Why!? Why!? Is it that hard to design a phone?

  6. does samsung have a design team or they’re ripping off iphone’s styles intentionally?

    the specs is similar to SE live with walkman except for the screen, which might have bad pixel density due to the resolution-screen size ratio.

    for that price point, the best for deal would be xperia neo v. for 13k, u can get original design, good built, decent specs (good screen, 5mp hdcam, hdmi port), plus, which is the most important, is a guarantee upgrade to ICS!!

  7. Ang R&D ng Samsung ang masasabing one of the best sa mga competitors nito pero yung designer team ang masasabing worst sa mga kalaban nito. Dapat piratahin na rin ng Samsung ang mga industrial designers ng ibang manufacturer.

  8. The only thing that keeps me from buying any Samsung Android phone is that it utterly looks like a cheap copycat of an iPhone, is it really hard for them to design their phones that differentiate it from the rest of the competition in the android world? The only desing I like from samsung were the Waves 1,2&3 other than that most are crappy designs. . .

  9. The patent war continues!!!

  10. I use all so samsung galaxy and im very happy with that

  11. galaxy ace still the best for me :-)

  12. I think at this point, they’re doing it on purpose and releasing copycat phones in areas where they’re least-liable to be sued and the redesigned ones in the areas where they will be. Might be a passive-aggressive middle finger to Apple, or Samsung is the trollface of phone companies.

    Having said that, what differentiates this from the Galaxy W? i.e. why would I choose this over the other? Seems like they have too many overlapping phones now.

  13. I thought the title said “Galaxy Note Plus” kaya napa-click agad ako..hehe..

    i think they released this too late already..

  14. I don’t know but this does not looks close to iPhone 3GS to me.

  15. was kinda hoping for a Galaxy Ace spec’d phone except with Dual-Core, tegra powered gpu and a front Camera T_T

  16. Samsung? I never had one,except my aircon which is very noisy!

  17. Samsung wanna make Apple more mad by releasing more phones similar to Iphone’s design. I’d choose other phones than this

  18. Meh. Samsung are way over their heads with this one. Even with a processor upgrade to a Cortex A8, HVGA res at the 13-15K price point is a highway robbery.

    I’d take the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Xperia Ray or Xperia Neo V, all of which occupy the 10-15K bracket, over the Ace Plus anyday.

  19. Woah.. WTH samsung! Are they retards?
    I own a SE Live with Walkman and they release this crap?
    Walang binatbat to sa Live with Walkman ng SE eh, except siguro sa screen size which i think is not worth it considering low ppi..
    Parang di nila keri maging no. 1 cell phone manufacturer sa mundo ah.
    I’d rather let nokia take the crown back and release more meego phones..
    I’m disappointer in samsung..
    Hope Sony gets into full throttle this year..

  20. masyado ng madaming smartphones na rinerelease ang samsung

  21. Really, Samsung is really doing everything to annoy the big A.

  22. For me the best phone ever is Galaxy S the original version, I had ICS working in my sgs for a week now and it worked perfectly. Samoled, 1ghz cpu, powervr sgx540 (same gpu as galaxy nexus) <– iPhone4 spec . that's what you call a deal breaker :)

  23. Hi Yugatech,

    It’s SRP price is P13,990 in Samsung Trinoma, as for the back cover it is not flat and glossy, it has a curve down part like the Galaxy Y Duos and back like the S2.

  24. Is the back cover glossy of non-glassy? I see in the reviews it has a glossy back but according to ACP it is non glossy?

  25. I still prefer the Galaxy Ace. It is not a good upgrade. The Screen Resolution is Just 157ppi. Mas malinaw pa ang Ace which is 165ppi. Wait for the Ace 2 to be released which is a good upgrade. It is Dual Core and it has a Front Cam. It has a 3.8″ screen with Super AMOLED and it’s screen resolution is 250+ ppi. I know it because ang Cp ko ay Galaxy Ace
