For a smartphone device that sports an 800MHz dual-core processor, I think it’s safe to say that we are to expect that Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 will be and should be faster. This description involves navigation between screens when swiping your screen and the end-buyers/users can even enjoy playing their all-time Android games. And of course, multi-tasking activities with your handset shouldn’t be a problem at all.  The screen display stretches up to 3.8 inches WVGA with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels PLS TFT – not bad for a high-quality graphics applications.  As for your Internet, surfing and browsing experience you can now enjoy Samsung Galaxy ACE 2’s HSPA 14.4 connectivity to provide you with faster download speed.  The memory allocation for Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 have been upgraded as well with an additional 4GB Internal storage (separate from 768 RAM) for your personal files, photos and videos.  You can also extend your Samsung Galaxy ACE memory up to 32GB using a microSD card.  The total dimension of Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 is 62.2mm x 118.3mm x 10.5mm and weighs 122g.

Now, it’s time to take a peek on the other new Samsung Galaxy smartphone – Samsung Galaxy mini 2. There’s nothing much really to say about Samsung Galaxy mini 2 except for the fact that this is considered as a budget-type Android smartphone.  But according to Samsung, although this is probably one of their low-end Galaxy smartphone, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the performance would go with that.  Although it is a fact that and acceptable that this Android smartphone is intended for people who are looking to buy an Android smartphone that isn’t too pricey and yet can perform very much acceptable to fit in their daily lifestyle.  The Samsung Galaxy mini 2 has a dimension of 58.6mm x 109.4mm x 11.9mm and weighs 106.8 g (NFC) and the other one has 58.6mm x 109.4mm x 11.6mm and weighs 105.3 g (Non-NFC).  Also this Android smartphone sports a 3.27 inches HVGA display screen which have a 320 x 480 pixels TFT resolution.  With these dimensions and resolution, Samsung wants to keep that feeling of portability and yet enjoying a high quality media output.  One of the highlights of this Samsung Galaxy mini 2 was the improved 1,300mAh battery capacity which would also guarantee an extended multimedia usage and longer chat sessions. Like the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 when we talk about memory storage, Samsung Galaxy mini now has 4GB user storage excluding the 512MB RAM and can be upgraded with a microSD card up to 32GB – more rooms and spaces for your personal files, photos and videos. The price would probably close to Samsung Galaxy mini 2’s predecessor and might start up to PhP 8,000.00 here in the Philippines.  Here’s the official technical specification of Samsung Galaxy mini 2 from Samsung.
