Samsung added another Android baby into their already very crowded portfolio of devices running on the said platform. The newest, announced on the 3rd day of 2012, carriers a name that is, I believe, a popular Android smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, as the name suggests is an improved and a faster version of the original Galaxy Ace, I just do not know if its design is also an improvement.
Personally, in terms of design, the original Galaxy Ace rocks better than the Galaxy Ace Plus (photo) but in terms of specs, the Galaxy Ace Plus rocks better. I think we just have to leave with that fact, though. Anyway, the smartphone, as an improvement from what it tries to succeed sports a faster 1GHz single-core processor and a bigger 3.65" display. Also, the smartphone runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the obvious latest version of Samsung's TouchWiz. Head over the break to check out the Galaxy Ace Plus' specs and Samsung's press release.
