Design and Body


At first glance one would think that Ace is the iPhone. Very reasonable, because its very similar. Wide-screen (3.5inchi) and aspect ratio (2:3, even with the iPhone 3G/3GS resolution is 320x480), then list shiny around the phone, and the angles at the corners like the iPhone 4. This phone is so like the hybrid between the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S. From the back coverlah this phone is very different from the other phones, not smooth flat but somewhat jagged material, the positive value of the back become slippery when wet with sweat from your hands. The design of this phone is pretty good overall, not too big but not too small. According to us with wide 3.5-inch screen is very fitting indeed used by smartphones. The following photos and video comparison with the iPhone 4 Galaxy Ace, Aces just thicker and somewhat different in the back. See the following pictures for comparison.

Part of the mobile phone is the hardware "Home" and the two touch buttons on the left and right, respectively Menu and Back, which in a few seconds the lights are lit at the touch of this button will disappear so memorable Galaxy Ace has only one button Home alone .

The back of the jagged, 5MP camera with no lens protector accompanied by a single LED flash, as well as the loudspeaker on the other side.

The side of the phone is covered by a bluish chrome, like the Galaxy S. On the left there while the volume buttons on the right there is the power button and a micro SD slot.
On top there is a micro USB port and a standard 3.5 mm audio jack, on the bottom there is a microphone.


Screen


Unlike the Galaxy S screen using "Super" (Super AMOLED and Super Clear LCD), Ace just use the standard screen TFT LCD. With a standard resolution of 320x480 (HVGA), of Aces opponent is not worth it for high end smartphone with WVGA screen. However, the color that came out pretty good, pretty bright, angle of vision is also okay. Even so, it appears white on this phone looks yellowish when compared to the Xperia X10 and iPod Touch 3rd Gen, can be seen in the following photographs

Interface

The interface is certainly present in typical Samsung Ace. TouchWiz UI 3.0, does not exactly match the Galaxy S; unlocknya not the same way, but most of it looks very similar. Live panoramic wallpaper and wallpaper can be used on the homescreen, as well as shortcuts, folders, and widgets. Homescreen pages by default there are 3 pages, which can add up to a maximum of 7 pages.

Menu comes with a black background and the icons 4x4 plus 4 fixed icons at the bottom line. You can edit the layout of the icons, but you can not change the number of icons that exist within a single page or a black background which can not be changed. However, you can download the application launcher like Go Launcher EX. Displacement is very smooth menu page as well as on the homescreen. There are no annoying lag. You could say this phone is pretty good performance compared to Android phones in its class. Notification bar rolled typical Android OS present here, with access to power Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Silent profile, and screen rotation. Underneath is the name of the operator that you use and the existing notification.

Input Text


Text input method that you can use some, the QWERTY keypad 3x4 (abc), handwriting box 1 and box 2. Way to replace it by tapping icons on the keyboard settings. In addition you can also use as an alternative Swype text input. Swype has been supporting the Indonesian so that typing would feel easier if you have mastered it. In addition to Indonesian and Korean language there is English. Typing on portrait mode is very convenient because the phone screen is almost as wide as 4 inches with a mobile phone Galaxy S or X10. In landscape mode is not as wide as the phone, but overall very easy to type. Sensitive matter of no doubt, a capacitive screen is very responsive.

Phonebook

Phonebook sync properly with Google Mail account, your Facebook and Twitter. From your contacts can see the profile picture, update status of the relevant, email address, and other information that he shared in the account Facebook / Twitter. In making new contacts, which can be recorded is infrmasi IM (almost all messenger services are provided), the group, ringtones, address, office, nicknames, websites, birthdays and anniversaries. Synchronize contacts through SNS can also be used.

Messaging


SMS writing interface in snagat intuitive and easy to use, you can simply select a new contact, phonebook, or group. There is a paperclip icon to add attachments. Alias ​​threaded conversation view mode of course complement the Galaxy Ace.

G-Mail on Android phones are very useful, very fast push email. Supports multiple Gmail accounts, and standard features such as signatures, text size, label, notification, and others. Email notifications go to the bar and almost real time. Other email accounts can also be used, but as usual you have to do some settings to sync with Yahoo Mail.

This phone is the default messenger G-Talk, which is always online until you disable it manually. Push notification comes to perfection. Another messenger you can download on Android Market.

Camera

As with the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S, which is 5 Megapixels (2560x1920) equipped with autofocus. Special, Ace comes despite the lack of camera flash LED Samsung Galaxy S the other on the phone, namely the lack of a camera shutter button. Focus on Ace mode is autofocus and makrofokus, no touch focus so it is difficult if you want to produce images that are focused on specific areas other than at the midpoint. To take pictures using the virtual keypad on the screen.
These features are complete enough cameras include: Shooting mode (single, Smile shot, continuous, panorama), Scene (Portrait, Landscape, Night, Sports, Party / indoor, Beach / snow, sunset, dawn, color of fall, fireworks , text, candlelight, backlight), exposure value, Timer (2,5,10 seconds), resolution (5MP, 3.2 MP, 2MP, 1.3MP, 0.3MP), White balance (Auto, Daylight, incandescents, Fluorescent, Cloudy) , effects (sepia, black and white, and negative), ISO (100,200,400), Measurement (centralized, bintiks, matrix), auto contrast, image quality, adjustment (contrast, saturation, sharpness). We can add guide lines (guidelines), and turn on GPS for geo-tagging.

The result is quite good for a camera phone 5 MP, in the dark condition was not embarrassing. The resulting color is similar to the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S. Please see the pictures below and click to get the original size (5Megapiksel, file size is more than 1 MB).

Video Recorder

Video recorder is quite disappointing because it only records up to a maximum resolution of 176x144 and 320x240 QVGA alias only. Other settings are the timer, white balance, effects, video quality, setting. Frameratenya good enough, according to FF Video decoder in Windows Media Player Classic framerate range between 17-21 frames per second and about 900-1000kbps bitrate (see screenshot below). Additional LED flash allows you to record the objects that were located near the dark.

Video recordings

Gallery

Just like the Galaxy S, Android typical 3D galleries that combine images and video as well as equip the phone co. This time the photo is resized according to the display screen. Please you are zooming in by tapping the screen twice and rendering will be done by phone. Photos of the X10-sized 8MP can read well in spite of reading and rendering as early as zoom in, but not too long / annoying. Pinch and zoom and accelerometer are also applicable in the gallery. Photos can be instantly shared on Facebook, Picassa, Allshare, email and others.


Video Player


As in the Video Recorder, video player on the Ace is also somewhat disappointing, only able to read a bit codec, there is no capability to read divx / xvid, much less. Mkv like the Galaxy-class phones S. It should be noted, competitors Ace, Optimus One, default video player can play divx / xvid with current standard definition. But you can play divx, xvid and other codecs with RockPlayer applications.

View the video player itself is very simple, just a timeline, the pause, fast forward and backforward only. Downloads videos from Youtube to a resolution of 480x360 (360p) can be played on this phone, and perform very well on screen HVGA resolution on Ace.


Music Players


The music player up the songs in four categories, Artist, Album, Songs (all songs in a micro SD), and Playlist. Album art is displayed when selecting the album as well as play the song. In landscape mode the display does not vary much with the portrait.


Loudspeaker broke the sound quality using the highest volume, and quite fast. With the use of headset sound quality is pretty good, with the equalizer settings (Normal, Jazz, Classical, Dance, Pop, Live, Concert Hall, Wide, Bass enhancement, Clarity). Equalizer no manual, and here equalizer combined with a Sound Effect (on Galaxy S Live, Concert hall is a sound effect etc.) so that you can not use equalizer pop while wearing effects such as concert hall. 5.1 channel effect is also participating in this phone, but as ever before equalizer should be in the Normal position.

FM Radio


You must use a headset to listen to radio broadcasts. Station ID can be displayed (if any)

Connectivity

Samsung Galaxy Ace runs on Quadband 850/1800/1900/2100 network and 3G 900/2100 with HSDPA internet connectivity up to 7.2 Mbps. Then the local connectivity is a-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi (802.11 b / g / n) and the micro USB (for mass storage, PC sync using Kies and modem). This phone can use the WiFi tethering as the Galaxy S and other Froyo phones.

Browsing


Galaxy Ace default browser with other Android phones. Although using Froyo, this browser does not support flash (in the settings there is no option to activate the flash as the default browser Galaxy SL). Do not worry because this phone is equipped with Youtube app, although it still does not flash-based games can be played. This browser supports only 4 tabs are, oddly enough, though too little everyday you probably are not that many tabs open.

Ace uses a capacity of 1350 mAh Lithium Ion battery as a power source. 9 pm phone battery is fully charged 100%, and left to sleep with the state of flame and some applications using the internet that runs in the background such as Google Mail, Gtalk, Facebook and others. Then at 9 am the phone started to be tested by us, play a song and video, download an application, play Angry Bird, and remain online continuously, and the results at 4 pm the battery was asked in-charge again. Not too bad, standard Android phone if you start, use, and continuous online.
