The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, Samsung's budget challenger, is now available to buy from 3 in the UK... but it isn't as cheap as you might expect.

Priced at £229.99 on a PrePay plan, the Galaxy Ace 2 comes in at almost double the cost of the original, and pushing towards a price point where unquestionably superior devices are available. The HTC One V for example is only £10 more.

Key specs include...

  • 3.8” WVGA screen
  • 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash,
  • Fast 800MHz dual core processor
  • Large 4GB internal memory
  • HD video recording

I'm sorry, but fast and 800MHz / Large and 4GB should not be found in the same sentence nowadays. :D

The most significant upgrade from the original Ace is the switch from a 3.5" HVGA screen to a 3.8" WVGA screen, but sadly that does not a desirable phone make... particularly with that lethargic processor.

That said, I know quite a few people who are fans of the original Ace, so if you are interested, head on over to Three to learn more.

It's has more similarity to the Galaxy W than to the original Ace. Same screen, camera, android version. The differences: 1.4GHz single => 800Mhz dual core, 512MB => 768MB RAM, 2GB => 4GB ROM.

Three were selling Galaxy W payg for a couple of months at the start of the year, for a time at 180UKP. Then they quietly withdrew it.
