Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-I8160) is asmartphone manufactured by Samsung that runs theAndroid operating system. Announced bySamsung in 22 February 2012 and released in May 2012, the Galaxy Ace 2 is the successor to theGalaxy Ace Plus.[3]
Being a mid-range smartphone, Galaxy Ace 2 contains hardware between that of the Galaxy Ace Plus andGalaxy S Advance; it features a dual-core 800 MHz processor on the NovaThor U8500 chipset with the Mali-400 GPU.
In May 2012, the device went on sale in the United Kingdom.[4]
Galaxy Ace 2 is a3.5G mobile device that offers quad-bandGSM, and was announced with dual-band 900/2100 MHz HSDPA at 14.4 Mbit/s downlink and 5.76 Mbit/s uplink speeds. The display is a 3.8-inch capacitive PLS TFTLCD touchscreen with 16M colours in a WVGA (480x800) resolution. There is also a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and auto-focus, capable of recording videos atQVGA (320x240),VGA (640x480) and HD (1280x720) resolutions. Galaxy Ace 2 also has a front-facing VGA camera. The device comes with a 1500 mAh Li-ion battery.[5]
Galaxy Ace 2 comes withAndroid 2.3.6 Gingerbread and Samsung's proprietaryTouchWiz user interface. In September 2012, Samsung announced that Galaxy Ace 2 would be updated toAndroid 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.[6] The phone can’t be upgraded to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean due to hardware restrictions.[1]
Galaxy Ace 2 has social network integration abilities and multimedia features. It is also preloaded with basicGoogle Apps, such as Google+ and Google Talk. The phone is available in Onyx Black and in White colours.
The device also unofficially supportsCyanogenMod[7] as well as other AOSP-derived roms likeAOKP. It also unofficially supportsLineageOS (14.1 and 15.1 version).
Galaxy Ace 2x (GT-S7560M) and in some marketsGalaxy Trend (GT-S7560) are at first glance variants ofGalaxy Ace 2, in that both have a similar shell and specifications; such as the slightly larger 4" screen, and similar specs for RAM and storage space.
The major differentiator is in processing power: WhileGalaxy Ace 2 has a dual-core 800 MHz CPU, thenGalaxy Ace II x andGalaxy Trend contain a single-core 1 GHzARM Cortex-A5 processor in conjunction with an enhanced Adreno 200 GPU. The single-coreSnapdragonS1MSM7227A ARMv7SoC design is much closer to the one inSamsung Galaxy Mini 2.[8]
Galaxy Ace 2 x andGalaxy Trend have 645 MB of accessible RAM (out of the total 768 MB), and approximately 2 GB of user-accessible internal storage.[8]
Galaxy S Duos (GT-S7562) is available with very similar specifications; the primary differentiating feature is its dual-SIM support.
Galaxy Trend Plus (GT-S7580) has very minor differences comparing withGalaxy Trend (GT-S7560). Trend Plus has Android 4.2Jelly Bean out of the box, single-core 1.2 GHz processor in conjunction with VideoCore 4 GPU and Broadcom BCM21664SoC.
Galaxy S Duos 2 (GT-S7582) is a dual-SIM equivalent of Galaxy Trend Plus.
The devices are powered byAndroid 4.0.4Ice Cream Sandwich, running Samsung's proprietaryTouchWiz Nature UX as the default user interface.[8]
Where possible, the operating systems can be upgraded to somewhat newer official versions ofAndroid 4.x than the factory install, so now to perform a firmware upgrade, the phones must have at least 1 GB of freeinternal storage.[9]
Since these phones run Android 4.0, they are still supported by cloud, communications and social networking services that push the latest versions of their apps, which have in some cases been designed with only the newest hardware in mind. Such applications hog system resources and cause the phones to run slowly. As a remedy, phone owners can replace those apps with less resource-hungry equivalents, or remove them entirely and use a web browser to access the services' sites.
TheFacebook app has been singled out as the one that uses the most resources overall;[10] it can demonstrably consume between 206-231 MB of RAM memory,[11] whereas Metal (a Facebook wrapper)[10] andFacebook Lite are much easier on phone RAM and battery life.[11] Alternately, the Facebook mobile site can be used, as it uses browser notifications in browsers that support this functionality.[12]
