Samsung launches Galaxy Ace 2 and mini 2 with Android 2.3

By Daniel Bader

Samsung may get most of its press from high-end devices like the Galaxy Note and S2 but there are a lot of low- to mid-range Android phones riding just under the radar. The Galaxy Ace and mini were two such devices — pint-sized versions of their larger siblings — and they were both successful enough, it seems, to warrant sequels.

The Galaxy Ace 2 boasts a 3.8-inch WVGA display, an 800Mhz dual-core processor, 768MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, a 5MP camera, a 1500mAh battery, and a baseband with 3G support up to 14.4Mbps.

The Galaxy mini 2 sports a 3.27-inch HVGA display, an 800Mhz single-core processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, a 3MP camera, a 1300mAh battery and a baseband with 3G support up to 7.2Mbps.

Both devices will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread with TouchWIZ 4, and come bundled with Samsung’s various Hubs and ChatON Messenger.

No word on whether these devices will be arriving in Canada anytime soon, but they are scheduled to launch in Europe starting in late March for the mini 2, and early April for the Ace 2. What do you make of these low- and mid-range products from Samsung? The Galaxy Ace is currently offered by Telus and Koodo, and the Galaxy mini can be had at Mobilicity for a song.
