“I’m really delighted with this phone. The webpage’s load with ease. Downloading Apps via the play store is extremely easy. Playing back video is extremely smooth. Side loading video from i.e. BBC iPlayer is easy if you download to your Windows Media Player and play for a few seconds to get the usage rights and then drag and drop the video to your phone or memory card. The quality of the 3.8″screen is excellent. The phone is of solid build and the battery life is good too!. The camera is good the only negative is the lack of a optical zoom. I would highly recommend this phone to everyone.”

I got this phone to replace my HTC One V (after 2 weeks of consistently dying on me I had had enough!)
I am now quite glad that the HTC didn’t work out because this is a brilliant little phone. Does everything I need and it’s so user friendly, everything just works as you expect it to! I actually prefer it to the iPhone and the HTC One V, even if the tech spec isn’t quite as good.
It’s nice and quick, access to all the usual smartphone apps/ android services, plus a free trial of the Top 40 app which is brilliant if you’re into the charts (play the charts from your phone without using up your data allowance!) Battery life seems about average for a smart phone – I used the phone quite heavily yesterday and it lasted about 24 hours before needing charging. Would probably last 2 days with lighter use, but the battery is replaceable so I’m not too worried! Also has a slot for a Micro SD so no worries about storage.
Overall I am finding the phone much more intuitive and just generally nicer to use than the HTC One V (which is meant to have a higher spec) and that is why I am giving it 5 stars!

The second day after purchasing a brand new iPhone 4S from the Apple Store, I felt as though the product was not justified by having such a high £499 price tag. Knowing I had 14 days to return the iPhone 4S, I started looking for cheaper alternatives and came across the Ace 2, what an amazing find…
Samsung and Android devices have come a long way over the past four years. To summarize, the most important features that I feel make it a better performer and better value product than the iPhone 4S or other comparable Android devices are listed below:
Dual Core Processor – 2x800MHz for fast multi-tasking, packs a punch for a sub £250 phone Google Play – App downloads using googleplay seemingly take on average 25% less time than a download from iTunes on the 4S Intuitive User Interface (UI) – Quick access to key settings, apps, browser, and typical phone functions. Layout is intuitive. Overall, UI is more appealing to interact with than the sometimes sterile and trite iOS UI Battery Life – Great battery life, well over 24-36 hours with heavy use. Also, cheap and easy to swap a replacement battery if you need extra juice on the fly. Weight – super light, great feel in your hand. Makes the iPhone feel like an old Cadillac by comparison. Size – On the smaller side for Samsung phones, but more sensible than the near 5 inch mini-tablets that may be difficult to carry around for those of us storing our phones in our pockets. Warranty – 24 months!? Great.
As you could imagine, after a few hours of using the Ace 2 I went back to the Apple Store and returned the 4S to resurrect £250.
If you’re looking for a ‘mid-range’ phone with relatively hi-end features… go with the Ace. You won’t regret it.
