With a year on the market and multiple price drops / firmware upgrades, we re-test the Samsung Galaxy Ace to see if it can still cut it as a popular smartphone.
Once a bit player on the smartphone scene, famed more for questionable construction than standout handsets, Samsung has turned a corner in recent years, establishing itself as a genuine player on the pocket phone front and producing some of the most desirable handsets on the market.
Following on from the success of the high-end Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy S2, the Korean tech behemoth expanded its range of intergalactic-named mobile phones, with the Samsung Galaxy Ace touching down last year as a mid-level handset.
Tasked with raising the expectations of what is possible from a wallet-friendly smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Ace, which also flies under the flag of the Samsung GT-S5830, has since spawned a sub-series of its own, with the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 officially unveiled ahead of MWC 2012.
Despite being formally unveiled, a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 release date and price are yet to be confirmed, with the newly improved dual-core handset to touch down later this year.
