Samsung galaxy ace is the very first. A summary review of smartphones Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830), Fit (S5670) and mini (S5570). The location of everything on the body

Today we're looking at the successor to Samsung's mid-range models, the Ace, codenamed GT-S5830. After the GT-i5800 model, Ace still pulls the title of a receiver over the famous and popular i5700 Spica model. The screen resolution was returned to its original position (in the i5800 it was reduced to 240x400 pixels), the hardware became modern for its segment. But whether Ace will become a bestseller among competitors and whether it will repeat the success of Spica - time will tell.

However, it seems to me that it will not be easy to surpass the glory of Spitsa. Subjective opinion, but, at first glance, if I now had to choose between Ace and Spica, the choice would be ambiguous.

The fact is that Spica has more developed external data. So, the case materials lack gloss, and in general, the experience of active and long-term use of the i5700 has shown that the exterior of the model is very resistant to wear. It doesn't take a genius to realize that an all-glossy Ace will wear out faster.

Also, the predecessor has all mechanical keys and there are not three of them, like the Ace. There is even a joystick, which is so lacking in modern sensors, especially in winter.

But not everything is so good. Spitsa had serious performance issues. Despite the high frequency, the hardware was sharpened only for playing the converted video. There were problems with games and especially 3D. However, the popularity of the model allowed the smartphone to get around many obstacles. So, today all new custom products are released on the i5700.

Let's take a look at the new model. Yes, the Ace is significantly superior to the Galaxy 580. But if we compare it with the Spica, the Ace, with an “amateur” body, wins in performance. About them below.

Appearance

Despite the glossy body, the Ace looks good. Outwardly, it evokes persistent associations with the iPhone 4, the same gray edging on the side, body color and only one key in rest mode. Until you unlock your device, two touch buttons are not visible at all.

The location of everything on the body

The front side of the smartphone has a 3.5 ″ screen with a resolution of 320x480 pixels. This is the standard resolution for a device of this level. The screen is made using TFT technology and has a capacitive touch surface. The viewing angles are good, but not great. Multitouch is well implemented, I did not notice any confusion in touches on both LG Optimus One and Google Nexus One.

The speaker and the proximity sensor are located above the screen, and the control keys are located below it. As in the entire Galaxy line, you can unlock the device not only by pressing the power key, but also by pressing the central mechanical key.

On the right we see the power button and screen lock, as well as a slot for a microSD memory card under the flap. If you often change memory cards, for example, for watching movies, this solution will be to your liking.

On the right, there is a coupled volume rocker and a lanyard eyelet.

Below is only a microphone, and on top we see a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, as well as a connector for a MicroUSB cable. The latter is hidden behind a curtain. We see a similar solution in Galaxy S.

The back cover is the most glossy I've ever seen. She's just glossy glossy. There isn't even any pattern, like on the Galaxy S or Nexus S. The prints are part of the lid's existence.

Among the black gloss there is a 5MP camera with flash and a speaker. The camera has autofocus and takes good pictures, but video shooting in Ace is just for show, as it shoots video with a maximum resolution of 320x240 pixels. Does that still happen? I am sure that this is a marketing ploy.

Sample photos

Removing the cover, you will see the battery itself, with a capacity of 1350 mAh, as well as a SIM card slot. The battery is not miraculous, it provides a daily ration for the smartphone, but no more. Of course, it all depends on the activity of the user. With a moderate load, you can get a two-day operation.

ON

Galaxy Ace works under Android OS 2.2.1. In principle, this can no longer be called very well, it should be so. Whether there will be an upgrade to 2.3 is not known. This is a drawback compared to the rival model LG Optimus One, which will definitely be updated.

As we are used to seeing in Samsung smartphones, there is an add-on for the TouchWiz 3.0 interface above the bare Android. Plus or minus I will not say, because I consider it a matter of taste. My taste leans towards bare Android.

In TouchWiz, desktops, menus have been changed, some services and applications have been added. Pleases the presence Swype keyboard right out of the box.

Specifications

I must admit that I did not expect such performance from the Ace, the smartphone turned out to be good in this regard. On Ace you can play cool 3D games like Raging Thunder 2, Gangstar: Miami Vindication HD, Brothers In Arms 2: Global Front HD 3D, and others. And the Neocore test only confirms the performance of these games.

Samsung Galaxy Ace Express Video Review

Output

We didn't get a revolution that needs to be sawed and sawed to make a diamond come out. We got a functionally good and ready-to-use smartphone on Android OS. The Galaxy Ace is fast enough for heavy gaming and is fairly inexpensive. For example, a model from similar in characteristics will cost the buyer $ 100 more. Do not forget about, which costs the same, but has a more practical case.

One of the advantages is an advanced community of enthusiasts who make a candy from an already good device. Many people will never have to tinker with custom, but those who change Spica to Ace will be a good bonus.

The disadvantages include too strong "gloss" of the case. I don’t want to call it any other way. Some people might not like the similarity in design to the iPhone 4.

Our verdict: a reasonably stylish, well-built, efficient enough and the most glossy Android smartphone with a good camera and a "camcorder for show".

My first Android smartphone. Actually, it was after that that I realized why Symbian, with which I switched, was doomed. Even then, there were many more opportunities in Android. I was pleased with the camera with autofocus, multitasking, widgets, social networks and everything else. Over time, the phone began to become obsolete in software and hardware and ceased to support, and it is banal to contain the desired new applications. The latter began to be given with great difficulty and the device hung / switched off from them. In view of this circumstance, having served faithfully for three years, the phone was reset to factory settings and sold in 2015. The impressions from the use were very positive. It was a reliable, inexpensive and feature-rich phone.

Advantages: - camera with autofocus, which removes the text in great detail; - Android OS is used with customization, multitasking and a bunch of useful applications; - resistant to mechanical stress; - lightweight, small, therefore quite ergonomic; - removable battery.

Disadvantages: - bought, as a rule, immediately with a memory card due to the scanty volume of it in the device itself; - battery (eternal headache in early versions of android: battery capacity is never enough)

Yandex Market

The phone has been alive for about 10 years, apparently I will change it with the release of the iPhone 15XSL (in another 10 years) The android version is old, has not been updated for a long time, but everything you need to eat without unnecessary garbage. Calls / sms and internet browser. It happens sometimes, but the only time it was "repaired" was to replace the standard battery with another.

Advantages: 1. Strong / durable 2. Large screen 3. Good camera 4. Easy to pick up a case 5. No useless programs / a lot of your memory 6. Compact and not heavy, you can fit everything in your pocket

Disadvantages: - The model is outdated

Worst phone of all that I have used.

Advantages: There are none

Disadvantages: Very weak Camera is normal

The phone was bought a couple of years ago for 10 thousand rubles. For that time, the phone was just super, used and was happy! Finding a clip or flip case was not a problem for me, than buying for 500-1000 rubles in a store, I just ordered a convenient flip case from China for only 120 rubles. The phone is very nicely made, nothing superfluous, everything is strict and beautiful. The strength is also very good - it survived many falls without any problems, both on the asphalt and on the ground and nothing. But one day, on the run, he fell out of his pocket (he was without a cover) and hit right on his leg, which sent him on an accelerated flight towards the asphalt - this time, the strength did not save, the display glass burst, but this did not affect the display itself and the operation of the sensor no influence, except perhaps because of the cracks it became worse. And again, 2 weeks of waiting for a new glass from the same China (in my city, glass cost from 1900, and I ordered for 167 rubles! - the difference is noticeable). When installing a new glass, no problems arose, 30 minutes of independent work and the phone is as good as new! By the way, I want to add that for almost 3 years of operation, the native glass was not scratched (although I often carried the phone without a case), nor was it worn! But just recently, due to an absurd accident, I was forced to part with my phone - it ended up in the back pocket of my jeans, at the moment of my fall with the fifth point on the edge of the step of a concrete staircase ... This time both the glass and the display itself broke .. So far, I consider it pointless to restore, because the phone has already worked out its time, perhaps then I will restore it purely for memory) The bottom line is this: If you need an inexpensive, but high-quality and beautiful phone, then take it without hesitation! It is not suitable for games, but for everyday use it is just perfect! If there is not enough battery, then you can buy a battery increased capacity or an autonomous charger (all of which can be ordered from China at a very nice price).

Pluses: -Beautiful design! -Good camera. -Pleasant to the touch rear panel(black ribbed) -Phone durability. -Price at present. -Bright and touch-sensitive display. -Loud speaker. -Strength. -Easy to use (android 2.3.6 is very easy to learn). -Good microphone. -Famous brand. -Bright LED flash.

Disadvantages: -278MB (exactly 278, not 256) is still not enough for normal games. -Expensive covers in Russia. -Not enough built-in memory. -Small battery (however, like all android smartphones)

Normal model. I bought it in 2011. Vibra broke down in 2015. A couple of times I wait until it breaks completely to buy new phone, and it all works.

Pros: Small, Android

Disadvantages: Glitches with Wi-Fi (if you move around the city with Wi-Fi turned on, especially among familiar networks, the phone turns off)

It's been over 3 years now, and the phone works as before. Left as a fallback. Now, when phones with screens from 5 inches are in vogue, its screen seems to be small, but in general Samsung of this model pleases.

Advantages: Nice to the touch (two covers were included in the package bundle: a white smooth one and a black ribbed one) compact phone, the sensor works well. I bought it more than three years ago, never let me down. For those years I took very good photos. A shutter instead of a plug on usb port... Comfortable. The side volume and lock buttons do not dangle, do not come out and are pressed comfortably. As a gift for the phone, they also gave him a 2 GB flash drive.

When I just bought it, I really liked it - my first touchscreen phone... At the moment, after working for several years, he finally glitchy. In general, a normal budget model, much has not been finalized, and at the moment it is already an outdated gadget. Worked for 3.5 years. At first, Skype started there and ICQ and other applications, but despite the constant cleaning of garbage, the memory got clogged and the applications had to be deleted one by one, so that somehow it would work = (((I have a lot of calls and various correspondence at work, for my it has not been suitable for a long time, but when it stopped working, there was a reason to buy something more powerful.But if you have few contacts and you don’t have to save all your correspondence (including SMS) and you don’t really use the Internet on your mobile - great model: the screen is bright, VKontakte worked until the last moment and the train schedule. In general, it is primarily a phone with a set of additional useful functions.

Advantages: Design, user-friendly interface and work with applications.

Disadvantages: battery, slows down, nothing is visible in the sun, there is no event indicator.

Positioning

From the line Samsung smartphones Galaxy up to 10,000 rubles, we tested Fit (S5670) and Gio (S5660). Remained a real bestseller - Ace (S5830). It differs from its predecessors by a large 3.5-inch display and a high-quality 5 MP camera with flash.

Sales of the Galaxy Ace with the index "i" - S5830i will begin in mid-December. This is a small upgrade to the S5830, which consists in installing a new 3D accelerator and a processor with a clock speed of 832 MHz.

Actually, this model will be discussed today.

Design, dimensions, controls

Galaxy Smartphone The Ace is a classic candy bar with dimensions of 112.4 x 59.9 mm and a thickness of 11.5 mm. The device weighs 113 grams. Outwardly, it looks like a reduced a copy of Samsung Galaxy S II: Same body shape and control layout with rectangular Home button. The device is made of plastic: the back cover is black, has a relief surface, the edging is chrome-plated around the perimeter, the material is glossy. Assembly Samsung Ace excellent: for a long time of testing, no creaking, no backlash, no crunch appeared. The screen is most likely not protected by special glass (or plastic), as it can be easily scratched with sharp objects. Even slight abrasions appeared during operation.

Lightweight, ergonomic design and perforated surface back cover the phone lies well in the hand. It fits perfectly into the pockets of jeans, a shirt and a jacket.

There is a proximity sensor on the front of the device. Nearby is a speaker. Its volume is average, there is no margin, the interlocutor can be heard clearly, but as if from afar. Under the screen there are two touch keys "Back" and "Menu". Their backlighting is white, not very bright, but in the light, in principle, it is visible. Between them is a mechanical rectangular Home button. I would add "classic" for Samsung. It is framed with chrome-plated plastic, the pressure is soft, the stroke is small. With a long hold, it brings up a menu with previously launched applications.

On the left side there is a thin volume rocker, almost recessed into the body, a little higher - a strap hook. On the right - the on / off button, as well as the phone lock. Below is a compartment for installing a microSD memory card, covered with a plastic flap. The card is installed until it clicks.

The microphone is located on the bottom end, on the top there is a standard 3.5 mm audio output for headphones or a headset and microUSB, which can be closed with a shutter. On the back there is a large camera peephole, LED flash and a speaker covered with a metal mesh.

To remove the cover, you must pry it off by the recess at the bottom end. The battery is located under the cover, and the SIM card is installed in the upper area (the battery will have to be removed).

Display

The Samsung Galaxy Ace smartphone has one of the largest displays in the price range up to 10,000 rubles - 3.5 "diagonal. The standard resolution is 320x480 pixels, and the density is 165 pixels per inch. The matrix Samsung S5830 is made using TFT-LCD technology and displays 16 million color shades, the sensor is capacitive, works out up to two simultaneous touches The sensitivity is average, insignificantly, but loses in this parameter to Sony Ericsson Mini and Live With Walkman (located in the same price segment).

The viewing angles are small: the picture loses contrast under the slopes. The brightness is adjusted manually in the "Display" settings, since there is no light sensor in the device. There you can also select a font (before downloading it from the Market), calibrate the three-axis accelerometer (BMA222), set the screen timeout (from 30 seconds to 30 minutes), enable or disable the auto-rotation of information when the phone is tilted.

Ace has a sensor magnetic field(MS-3E), orientation, linear acceleration and "approach" sensors (TMD26711).

In general, a relatively average screen, which is inferior in color rendering to SE Mini / Mini Pro, Neo, and even more so - Samsung Wave S8500.

In light, the screen fades slightly, the information remains readable.

Samsung Ace display at various angles:

Comparison of displays Samsung Galaxy Note (SuperAMOLED) (left), Sony Ericsson Arc (LED-backlit LCD), Samsung Galaxy S (SuperAMOLED), Samsung Omnia W (SuperAMOLED), HTC Mozart (S-LCD), Samsung Ace (TFT-LCD) ), Nokia 700 * (CleareBlack AMOLED) (right):

* - the brightness of the Nokia 700 display at maximum brightness is higher than in the photo. This is due to the fact that I took the footage in the dark, and the phone's light sensor dimmed the display backlight slightly.

Battery

The Samsung S5830 uses a 1350 mAh Li-Ion battery. Model EB494358VU. The Galaxy Fit and Gio have exactly the same.

The manufacturer claims that the Galaxy Ace will live up to 640 hours (2G) and up to 420 hours on 3G network in standby mode. Talk time - up to 11 hours (2G) and up to six and a half hours on a 3G network.

It charges about two and a half hours from USB, about 1.5 hours from the mains.

Communication capabilities

The Galaxy Ace smartphone works in cellular networks 2G (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (900/2100 MHz). Chip - BCM21553.

HSDPA speed - up to 7.2 Mbps. V Bluetooth available version 2.1 (with A2DP stereo profile) for file and voice transmission. There were no problems with the connection of the headsets: it does not connect very quickly. Present wireless connection Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n. The device can be used as an access point (Wi-Fi Hotspot). There is a special item in the "Settings". Multimedia content is transmitted via DLNA. USB 2.0 (HighSpeed) is used to "transport" files and synchronize data. When Ace is connected to a PC, it is detected as a USB-Flash-device or USB-modem.

Memory and memory card

The Samsung S5830 smartphone has 280 MB of RAM (usually around 180 MB free), which is enough for most tasks. However, I would like to have 512 MB, that's exactly how much of it in Sony Ericsson Mini (and others like that). About 190 MB of Flash memory (135 MB free) is allocated for installing applications. If desired, all applications are transferred to microSD, a 2 GB memory card is included in the package. Its maximum volume can be up to 32 GB.

Camera

The model has a 5-megapixel camera module with autofocus. There is a single-section LED backlight. The maximum image resolution is 2560x1920 pixels, video recording (without autofocus) is carried out in a resolution of 320x240 pixels at 30 frames per second.

The quality of the images is very good: the details are high, there is no “soap” at the edges, and in insufficient lighting conditions it practically does not “make noise”. Below are the comparison shots on Nokia 700 (left), Samsung Ace and Samsung Omnia W (right):

During video recording, the volume buttons can be used to adjust the two-fold digital "zoom", and the quality is not lost (there are no artifacts).

The camera is launched through the menu using a shortcut. The interface looks like this: on the left - shooting mode (one shot, smile detection, continuous, panorama), scenes (landscape, night, sports, indoor, beach, sunset, etc.), backlight (off, off and "automatic "), settings. On the right is a gallery, switching from photo to video.

Performance

The Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i smartphone has a processor running at 832 MHz (minimum - 312 MHz). Unlike previous models, it uses a graphics accelerator from Broadcom - VideoCore IV HW with support for OpenGL ES-CM 1.1. It is a 40nm multimedia processor using CMOS technology. The main features are: use of 20 megapixel digital cameras, FullHD video recording and playback, and 1 gigapixel 2D / 3D graphics rendering. Unfortunately, in practice it is no different from the Adreno 200/205.

During testing, the device behaved quite stable: no freezes or brakes were observed.

System information:

Navigation

The smartphone has a GPS navigator. Its functionality is the same as in most inexpensive phones... "Cold" start - about two minutes, "hot" - up to 10-15 seconds.

Software platform

The Samsung Ace smartphone runs on Android version 2.3.6. Firmware version - S5830iXXKL1, kernel version - [email protected], assembly - Gingerbread.XXKL2.

Shell and menu

The familiar TouchWIZ 3.0 shell is used: seven desktops (3 by default) with widgets, a panel with a "Dialer", "Contacts", "Messages" and an entry to the "Menu". To unlock the screen, press the "Menu" button or the power button of the device and then move the background image to the side. The desktops are assigned: shortcuts, folders, "hot" keys and various widgets. Static and animated screensavers are used as wallpaper. When you hold down the mechanical Home button for a long time, a menu appears with previously launched applications. There is also a task manager.

The menu is represented by 16 4x4 grid icons on one screen. By clicking on the "Menu" and choosing "change" in it, the shortcuts can be moved. Including, they can be installed in the lower panel (“Home” cannot be replaced).

Challenges

Standard for Samsung phones dialer. It is easy to get into contacts and call log from it. When dialing a number, a list of contacts starting with these digits appears in the input field window. To create a contact, you must click on the "plus" in the "contacts".

Applications

To install programs and games in the Galaxy Ace there is an application store "Android Market", and below is a list of those applications that are already loaded into the phone's memory, mainly standard software.

Web browser

Standard web browser. Surfing is much more comfortable than, for example, on the Gio and Fit - the screen size matters. Supports multi-touch - pinch zoom. In general, there were no problems: quickly opens pages, and the interface behaves smoothly.

Multimedia

Music player

A familiar player from Samsung is used. From the main menu, you can organize your songs by artist, album, and song. When a song is played, the album cover, player control keys, and a button for viewing the list of songs are displayed on the screen. In the settings, you can set the sound to 5.1 or select an equalizer. For the latter, 11 presets are available: rock, jazz, classical, dance, pop, live sound, concert hall, wide range, music clarity, bass boost and externalization.

The volume of the polyphonic speaker is low and is comparable to that of the Samsung Fit speaker. Reproduces cleanly, without overload. Headphone sound quality is typical for most low-cost Android devices. In short, all sound parameters are practically the same as on all previous devices: Fit, Gio and Mini.

FM radio

For it to work, you need to connect headphones, they act as an antenna. The sensitivity of the radio is good. Operating range 85 - 108 MHz, RDS supported. Large digits of the current frequency appear on the screen, at the bottom - four cells of frequently listened to radio stations. In the settings, you can set the radio auto-off timer: from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The volume is high.

Video player

There is no separate application. All video files are easy to find in the Gallery. The player is simple, with support for H264 / H263 codecs and MP4 and 3GP formats. The maximum video resolution is 640x360 pixels with a bitrate of no more than 2000 Kbps in MP4 format. There are no settings, only rewind videos and "play" / "pause".

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy Ace smartphone made a good impression: good detailed photos, high-quality speech speaker, "smart" interface and excellent ergonomic design. However, the Samsung S5830 has enough competitors.

One of them is Huawei IDEO X5. Has an original design, 512 MB of RAM, more modern processor Qualcomm MSM7230 800 MHz. In addition, the diagonal of the screen is 3.8 inches, and the resolution is 480x800 pixels. The average cost of the X5 is about 10,000 rubles. Recommend.

The new LG Optimus Hub boasts a 3.5-inch display diagonal with a resolution of 320x480, a 5-megapixel camera, 512 MB of RAM, a Qulacomm MSM7227T processor with a clock speed of 800 MHz and a more than attractive price tag - 8,000-9,000 rubles.

Musical Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman. As it seems to me, one of the most interesting smartphones the outgoing year. With an average cost of 8,500 rubles, it has a powerful "gigahertz" processor Qualcomm MSM8255, 512 MB of "RAM", a fast 5 MP camera with HD video recording and two very loud stereo speakers. The display resolution is the same as that of the Ace, but the diagonal is slightly smaller - 3.2 ".

By the way, why not try Bada-device Samsung S8530: excellent screen with Super Clear LCD matrix, diagonal - 3.7 inches, resolution 480x800 pixels. The camera is no less interesting: 5 MP with autofocus, flash and video recording in HD quality. Now it can be bought for 8,500-9,000 rubles.

In general, it's up to you, as always, to decide, but I would take a closer look at Huawei X5 or SE LWW.
