At almost Rs. 17,000, the successor to the popular Galaxy Ace smartphone might seem a bit costly, especially since it competes with the likes of the Sony Xperia Neo V and Ray
The Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, unveiled just a few weeks ago, is already making its way to Indian shores and should be hitting retail shelves within two weeks. Online retailerFlipkart has put the handset up for pre-order at a price of Rs. 16,750, with deliveries starting from March 21.
The Galaxy Ace Plus is a slight improvement on the original Galaxy Ace, which has proven to be a very popular handset in India. Running on Google Android v2.3 Gingerbread, the Galaxy Ace Plus features a 3.65-inch capacitive touchscreen and a 1GHz processor, packaged in a rounded body. Along with 3GB of onboard storage (expandable via microSD), users get a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS and a 1300 mAh battery.
At its current price, the Galaxy Ace Plus directly competes with the Sony Xperia Neo V, Sony Xperia Ray, LG Optimus Sol and the Motorola Defy+. We wonder if the Galaxy Ace Plus can outscore the Sony handsets, which have become our standard recommendations for anyone looking for phones in that price range.
Samsung has previously also announced another model, the Galaxy Ace 2, which promises to bring dual-core processors for a lower price to the masses.
The guys at GSMArena also got some hands-on time with the device and posted a short video of its user interface:
