So I had my first hands on experiences
on the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 yesterday I found the phone for sale at Divine cell
care (Pvt) Ltd, Majestic City, 3rd Floor,a tad bit slower than expected, there
is no model without the silver border and the TouchWiz 4 UI isn't a big deal as
expected . Hope the promised Jelly Bean Update will counter all the cons. but
its a descant for a mid range phone at that price. 38,500 Sri Lankan rupees is
the lowest I have come across for the Ace 2.
Experiences wise; for someone who has
been stuck with the TouchWiz 3 for a while it might need getting used to (but
not that complicated). Felt a little heavy in my hand, not sure if that's good
or bad.
The packaging came in a very compact
box that is just a little bigger than the phone it self (going green I suppose,
who cares not like you are going to use the box).. Let me get to what was
inside this box tho, data cable which felt quite solid and firm, a separate
charger with a long enough extension, a manual and warranty card along with a
ear phones, didn't really like the look of the ear phones, since I personally
prefer the ear buds also the fact that they are white doesn't excite me ether (
Prone to discolor and get dirty), but I don't know. I don't want to judge it
without having used it first.
Right now the phone is only available
Black (with the silver outline) in Sri Lanka, So for all the white phone lovers
I suggest you wait till the end of the year or so, with the Jelly Bean upgrade
(and lets face the it the price will eventually drop) the wait will be worth
the while.
Hope this helps anyone in Sr Lanka
looking for information about the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 to at least imagine what
its like. but I suggest you get a hands on experience, its not bad at
all.
Also note that most comparisons done in
the article are with the Galaxy Y (I assume its a common enough phone in Sri
Laka these days) all in all its a pretty good upgrade if you're a Galaxy Y user
with a low budget for a new phone.
