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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
I am still considering Yes compare to O1 this looks reasonable but the pricing is rm1000, 4 figure liao.
Its RM999, three figures.
Anyways, choose your phone wisely and yes, don't rush. But then, choose too slowly and you'll end up on the sitting fence forever, considering the speed Android is advancing at.
] good idea!! since the screen size is same, possible SP shud fit?
Check the comparison picture I posted in the front page, the Ace is a wee-bit shorter in screen size yet a wee-bit wider. I don't think the SP would fit nicely, not to mention iphone 4 SPs usually cover the top and bottom sections too.
