Samsung has announced a new low-end phone aimed at non-North American markets. Called the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, the handset brings Android in a compact and affordable package.
By the way, we use the word "compact" subjectively here. Just a couple years ago, this is how big all smartphones were -- just enough to fill your pocket comfortably. Heck, the design, shape and general dimensions of this handset are eerily similar to the iPhone 3G. Yep, we guess Apple's multiple lawsuits aren't quite getting their message across.
Details of the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus include a 3.65-inch capacitive touchscreen (320 x 480 resolution), a 5.0 megapixel camera module, aGPS, 3G with HSPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2GB of storage and microSD card expansion. Muscle is provided by a modest 1Ghz processor.
It runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the familiar TouchWiz on top. As with other Android phones, it comes with Google's Mobile Services, along with a number of preloaded apps, including ThinkFree Office, Samsung Social Hub, Samsung Music Hub and ChatON.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus will initially be launched in Russia, with markets in China, Africa, the Middle East, Southwest Asia, Latin America, CIS and Europe to follow. No pricing or exact release dates yet.
