Continuing in the long line of confusingly similarly named handsets is Samsung’s recently announced Galaxy Ace Plus. As is inferred by the moniker, the Galaxy Ace Plus is the newest model in the Galaxy Ace line.
If you’re unfamiliar with the original Samsung Galaxy Ace, it’s basically a budget option of the more popular Samsung Galaxy S product line for folks who don’t feel the need to spend top dollar on a new smartphone, but still don’t want last-year’s model.
The new Galaxy Ace Plus currently boasts a single-core 1GHz processor, 3GB of internal memory (expandable, of course), HSDPA 3G connectivity, a 5MP camera and a 3.65 inch screen. Basically it’s been improved in just about every department that Samsung has provided info on.
However, one little tid-bit that tried to slip under the radar is the disappointing 320x480 resolution of the display. We wouldn’t mind the Galaxy Ace Plus sporting this same resolution as its predecessor if the resolution had been in any way impressive originally, but to increase the size of the screen and then not upgrade from the frankly outdated 320x480 is a bit of a let down.
The Galaxy Ace Plus is set to go on sale around most of the world pretty soon, although no word yet when or if it will be available in the US. In the meantime we’re just going to stay glad that Samsung at least didn’t name this one the Galaxy Ace II.
