The Galaxy Ace 2 is actually my second smartphone. I had read the Galaxy W. I have however sent a few weeks back, because the voice quality was simply miserable even with a full reception and the GPS has taken almost 10 minutes until it has a localized. Even with a smartphone should be able to still reasonable call. The voice quality of the ACE 2 is perfectly even in low reception. The GPS signal can not the device out in less than a minute and even in buildings when windows near are. The display shows all colors as very good and bright and the touch screen can also be operated smooth and seamless. The images of the camera are very good at full resolution, even on large screens. The flash is adequate for nearby objects but of course not comparable to a full-fledged digital camera. The operation succeeded immediately and intuitively, even without experience with smartphones and Android. The internal memory is sufficient for many apps and photos. However, anyone who has an offline Navi with big cards and the device also uses as an MP3 player, you should buy a Micro SD card to do so. They're not expensive. 16GB 15, - and that was good enough. The Internet is running pretty fast when HSDPA or WLAN is available. Texts can be either the normal screen keypad or Swype. Here you can sweep your finger over the letters in the word which you want to write. With a little practice you can use it to write as fast as on a real keyboard. There is also a voice control that works! Just like Siri on iPhone, but I think the normal operation easier. For me, this device was the introduction to this matter and I do not like to give her. Sure, there are devices with faster processors, higher-resolution displays and better cameras. But I wanted to have a low-priced smart phone that still has all the features and this is small and fits well in your pocket. An egg-laying wool-milk-sow. It is also thanks to Android not only easy to use but also can easily exchange data easily and with no software to the PC, which is not so easy with the iPhone. An alternative to this device would be the Galaxy S3 Mini. That's about the same size, has a better display and a faster processor. However, the difference is not serious. In addition, the strain on the battery longer, making the Ace 2 has more battery life. The battery lasts me about 3 days, which I guess is normal in such devices. So if you want rumschleppen no half tablet PC with it and despite a small purchase price would have the full functionality that should buy this phone.
