This is not the official thread, just discussion first

Perhaps after more people have it then we'll open an official one.

Owh it's available! All those high-end ones really makes the budget ones drown.

Would really to hear some feedback though. Wonder if any of the Galaxy S issue are a problem in this one as well.

optimus 1 only 600mhz also promised with ginger as well wad
the price tag for ace is gonna kill htc wildfire

ooo i tot is the official version
okay,thx for telling it

if it's around rm900, then it's worthy to get it since it also got multi touch..
the only downside, no flash support.

Someone played with it at 1Utama. Which store at 1Utama? Want to play with it and see which one nicer, white or black. I like the TouchWiz side-scrolling app screen.

Hopefully not. Need a full review of it.

Especially the GPS.



RM 960 @ Terry's thread.

278mb ram is still unconfirmed
hopefully is 512mb den im gonna be d future white ace's owner xD

hiaz=.=,bought galaxy 5 few days ago..should have waited for this

Galaxy Ace rm960 cannot play Flash, or Acer Liquid MT rm1200 can play Flash. Which is better. Difference rm240. So hard to choose. lolz

This phone design really nice

Am thinking really hard to get Ace or Optimus One.

This is going to be my first Android. I was actually quite set upon getting Optimus a few days ago.. until yesterday I read about Galaxy Ace. Now I'm torn between two choices. I been reading reviews that Ace ram is only 2xx and has a bad battery life. Is that true? Gsmarena doesnt specify the ram there.. and some comments on reviews say that the internal memory is too small to install apps..
please advice

If choice i prefer sam ace as the design look better to me. The screen also same size as iphone 4. I have play around with it at mid valley today. My friend shop selling there. The touch is very smooth also. Dont feel lagging.

I'm sure there are many in the same boat. I know I am! Waiting for a full review now. But I'm leaning towards the Ace

Many are torn between the O1 and the SGA (I'll call them that for short k? )

Internal memory should not be much of an issue when its Froyo, not to mention app2sd when someone gets that supported for this.

The worry here is the RAM, you'll have to trade the sacrifice of RAM for a bigger screen, Touchwiz 3.0, and IMHO much better looks. 256 isn't great, but sufficient for general use.

Is the price rm960 abit high? Or is it reasonable?

Very reasonable IMO.

Haha yeahh I'm waiting for the full review at gsm arena too. I'm actually more interested in Ace due to its design. My friend has already offered me Rm950 for that phone, but still holding myself to confirm
Ahh, I agree with you about the better looks. However, I'm not a very heavy user, just mainly use for calls and texts. I used task manager alot on the desktop to kill my unused tasks, so I guess I'd do the same with the phone heh. That will help the RAM prob right?

EDITED

so galaxy ace confirm got no flash support?

This post has been edited by Fornaxlife: Feb 21 2011, 09:30 PM

d processer msn 7227 dun support flash if im not but u cant play youtube since it stil mp4 format for most of d video d most improtant thing is d rams size if 256mb and read at 278mb then it will be a loos since d Op1 also got 512mb

ARM v6 processors (Galaxy Ace, Optimus One, HTC Aria, HTC Legend etc etc) do not support full flash even if its ROM is 2.2.

well, i guess i can compromise the flash and lesser RAM as long as it still can run smoothly.

Emailed Samsung to ask for the official launch date and retail price, and was answered this:

Please be inform that, there is no official date yet when the said model will launch in Malaysia. For up to date information, kindly refer to the website at www.samsungmobile.com.my.

Does this mean the units selling at stores now are AP sets?

mid range android phone should be at least 800mhz cpu+512mb rams

So we should start calling the Ace a low-end phone? Fine with me. Specs still look good! Wifi b/g/n!

bought 2 unit just now from one our forumer. one black and one white. since i bought 3 phone at one shot he give me a really damn GOOD price! Camera quality is superb. its damn smooth as well. i will continue to use it before able to give proper feedback.

looking forward to it and review.

Nice! Give us constant feedback will you?

Oh and, download quick system info from the Market and check the RAM for us, that should settle it once and for all.

saw this article mentioning that task killer might not be a good thing to have.
makes me wondering
*never used any smartphone b4 ler*

someone shall start a bulk!

agree wif u
if its ram is 512mb,sure pawn lg optimus 1 already

Task killers do free up precious RAM, but take a hit on the battery life. Up to you on which thing is more important for you.

looking forward for the confirmation of the RAM before confirming my purchase..

haiz i same wif u
but i bought my lg optimus one 1week ago

Checked abit at other forums, apparently it seems to be at 384MB RAM according to early users there. It's not official, but seeing that the phone displays 287MB, its most likely it has 384MB RAM like the HTC Legend.

Wow, we need a real screenshot fast.

Count me in if there's one! Still can't decide between the black and the white, though

hope it really have 384mb ram

Don't tell me you're going to sell your Optimus and buy Ace?

no lar i not so stupid
mayb buy oni,if reli buy den optimus giv parent use lor

Siao lah! Why not just continue using Optimus? Not so much difference between these 2 phones. If Desire HD then a lot of difference lah... but if you have so much money, go ahead...

Ok now I am thinking to buy, for users that don't surf with phone is all right without Flash.

bro do a review for us and d system information please

Ok guys, some review on Ace. I can't be 100% precise as for pictures i'll try to upload later if i have the time.

1st) OP1 is quite sluggish IMO, not too sure for what reason but ACE is smoother compare to it.
*would have to install more apps and see how ACE performs. As far as i know, better spec does not mean it could perform better, we need to see the UI which is being used and for this case 2 thumbs up to Samsung.
*It's really smoother compare to my previous Milestone (ram capacity of 258mb vs 278mb as stated in the phone status (ACE))

2nd) Screen Resolution Display;
*Well it's slightly lacking compared to IP4 but hey, the phone is 60% cheaper compared to IP4.
*The icons words, widgets are all crystal clear to me. Surprisingly the 3.5" screen display looks much more awesome compared to the 3.7" display on my previous milestone. Seems like it isn't that bad to copy the display size of an IP. Steve Job had really put some thoughts on this i guess.

3rd) Camera. . .
*Wow i love it. Despite Milestone is having the same camera resolution... trust me on this. It is no where near to ACE. The 5 mp on ACE can do wonders and it's totally worth it for a phone with such a price tag.

4th) Build Quality...
*Nothing much to shout about pretty much similar to Samsung Galaxy S but with a cooler back COVER! Matt Black and White is just awesome!

*Anyone got any idea whether this phone is having a Gorilla Glassor scratchless surface?

Overall if you are talking about spec itself compared to the best phone out there.. maybe it's 3/5 but if we are talking about price/performance...
I would definitely give it a 5/5.

Nice, posted it in the front page.

Oh and, good news for you, This confirms it that the Samsung Galaxy Ace is using Gorilla Glass.

Now there is even more reason for us to go for the phone! At this particular moment i don't think there is any phone which can perform as good as ACE below the price tag of RM1k.

Wow, this is the deciding review for us on the fence. Anyway - is the warranty by Samsung? Is it original set or AP set? You know, the phone hasn't officially been launched here...

Nice... kena poison kau kau d...

I am just wondering if 278MB RAM is size of availability rather than overall size.

My Garmin Asus A10 have 512MB of RAM but even after fresh install, the availability amount is about 270MB.

According to those from the Garage Sales section there are original sets. At the moment I don't think there's any AP set with the exception of singapore sets.

Belum ada AP set bro! It's not official yet that's why the stocks are distributing and i already go collect phone. lol

Hehe, it's running on Android 2.1? if i am not mistaken only Froyo can run on 512mb.

Really nice review by kidmad...might want to buy one too

Here's the official specs:
http://www.samsung.com/galaxyace/ace_techspec.html

Thanks, updated the front page abit Oh and, found a video of angry birds gameplay on SGA too. Check the front page.

it's original warranty

Depends on what price and freebies you offer

GOOD PRICE!

Errm....it doesn't mention Ace in the list.

"Samsung: Behold II, Captivate, Continuum, Epic 4G, Fascinate, Flight II, Galaxy A,
Galaxy S, Mesmerize, S8500 WAVE, Trance, Transform, Ultra TOUCH S8300, Vibrant"

"Galaxy Ace" and "Galaxy A" is the same?

Edit: Wrong information, edited. The Galaxy Ace does NOT have Gorilla Glass. Thanks for the tip.

Whats the downside of no Flash?

Btw, how's playing angry bird in it? smooth?

Downside of no flash is unable to see Flash Player-required stuff in websites, like facebook games for example.

For angry birds smoothness, check the front page

but the angry bird smoothes just for 1st few stage oni
sure smooth de,should test stage at 1-20 and 1-21
mine optimus one lag at there =.=

ask sumting...the internal memory only 158mb..since its 2.2froyo..can all app install to memorycard..izzit enough 158mb memory

2.2 should stored the apps in to the memory, standard packing come with 2gb memorry card

good spec & nice price....

it is time to selling off my wildfire?

We need a user to record that then, anyone?

lolx not worth lor selling wildfire and buy this

okays,then i slowly wait c how ~

i know memory card 2gb..i askin the internal memory..mine milestone even 8gb..the app install on internal only becoz using official firmware 2.1...so if 2.2 all app can install to memory card.so 158mb internal memory shouldnt be a problem right?
