The device is impressive, unfortunately only visually

If the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 hold what it promises optical, there is nothing to complain about here.
Unfortunately, the unit but various difficulties that make it a whole unusable for me. One of these difficulties is the software side, so could be resolved by an update (if Samsung would move to publish a): The installed Android is so cluttered with unnecessary apps that the device very often has to insert pauses, whereby the operator to real test of patience is. Although some of these apps can easily uninstall or disable at least, the latter is likely, however, for less experienced users already cause problems, since many apps in the Application Manager have cryptic names. Another software problem negatively affects the battery life of: Somehow, to me unknown reason, the processor of the smartphone is kept awake for hours, even though the device is not used. This has the unpleasant effect that the battery is sucked dry in a few hours - without anyone used the device. Particularly fatal when this happens overnight, and you want to use the device as an alarm clock.
All these problems would be to absorb because they a simple update (whether from Samsung or CyanogenMod) could be resolved. What makes the device unusable for me, however, is the home button.
This is such a bad processed, that on the one hand is shaking strongly and on the other hand sometimes gets stuck in the housing when pressed. On my first device I'm still starting from a production error, as the replacement device but had the exact same problem, I can go back to the unit.

This raises the question of how Samsung can justify it to bring such immature products to market. Dear invested a little more time in tests and then present a product that is technically as visually convincing.
The feel of the device is actually very pleasant; it fits comfortably in your hand, is not too big and not too small.
So overall a smartphone with verschenktem potential.
