Samsung Galaxy Ace Interface
The Samsung Galaxy Ace runs on the Android 2.2 (Froyo) OS with the Samsung overlay, TouchWiz 3.0, which can be found in other Samsung devices including Android-powered Galaxy S and the Bada-powered Wave 2.
It sports four main applications (Calling, Contacts, Messages and Menu) at the bottom of the screen, separating these from the cavalcade of applications at the top, similar to that found in the iOS. (Yet another similarity with theiPhone. We wonder which smartphone Samsung benchmarks against…)
It also has a nifty task manager widget to help you keep your battery life optimised by showing what you've currently got running in the background.
That said, the battery life isn't bad as it uses a standard Li-Ion 1350mAH, which is used in other mid-range smartphones, such as the HTC Legendand BlackBerry Storm 2.
Another useful widget is the bar at the top enabling you to quickly switch on/off the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, sync as well as increase the brightness of the screen.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace comes with five Home screens, which is ample, but there is an obvious lag when swiping through them, which is down to the 800MHz processor. It doesn't quite stack up to the ultra-sleek 1GHz processor of its big bro, the Samsung Galaxy S.
Annoyingly, for non-gamers, there are a four pre-installed games that can't be uninstalled, clogging up memory and space on the menu screen.
