Don't buy.

If you're looking for both performance or battery life , don't buy this .

It depends on your budget.
If your budget gets up to galaxy ACE ... then buy it.
If your budget goes beyond galaxy ACE ... forget about it.

6 months ago galaxy ace was a choice.But now there are much better phones around at the same price or just slightly higher. Actually people are selling this phone now to buy much better phones.

Get something else. This phone is nearing the end of its life. Its nice for messing about with and experimenting but overall you will be disappointed.

Buy something that's officially supported by CM, check for bugs and probably don't buy Samsung. Worst phone i've ever had with tons of bugs that never got fixed but fortunately the battery runs out pretty quickly so you don't get annoyed.

Depends on your budget,I suggest buying SGS which has a price range near the SGA now

Yes, there are much better phones than Ace at the same price or just slightly higher. Based on my experience, I suggest you to buy Samsung Galaxy W.

If u only have rm600-700 buy this fone lah. If u have rm900 buy galaxy w

In specs the ace is better. In reality iphone is smother, maybe not faster but smother. The wifi on the iphone is shockingly slow. But what you you really need to consider is do you want open source or not. You can jailbreak an iphone but its not great, you'll never get the same as android. Iphone is for showing off, ace is for funtion. I have both and use my ace. Every now and then i boot the iphone for games, but thats getting less and less.

The 3gs has ARM V7 which makes it faster really.
But in terms of operating system android is for the adventurous.
My girlfriend has the 3GS and is always complaining about the lack of functions compared to my Ace.
Since she had a HTC Magic before, she knows of what Android is capable and is always saying that iOS runs smooth, but is for idiots.
Tap-a-talked from my Galaxy Ace
ace wins hands down......iphone 3 has no chance heres proof http://www.compare-cellphones.org/Samsung-Galaxy-Ace-vs-Apple-iPhone-3GS..
and as for iphone 4s then if you have an updated ace like 2.3.4 or 2.3.7 then the ace also easily beats the iphone 4s(ps my friend had a 4s but after i updated my ace he was so humiliated he went and bough a galaxy s2 just to compete with me lol)
...and the winner is.. tanrararan..

if we are debate on it
i was about to say the same thing how has this turned from a iphone v ace into a where and how to fix your ace???
Hmm, yes, the options you get with this open os are great! But,someone said it already,the iPhone is for dummies, anyone can get it and use it without lots of action.
The Ace came with stock Rom and yes, it was useable but not really rocking. You have to read and learn till you get what most of us here have now ... a rockin Ace
But that's not Samsung's work,it's the work of the great Developers on this OS.

ok so we are all in agreement that a iphone 3 or 4 or 5 or 345 is no match for an updated modified "rockin" ace!

that's good news...it means that samsung is considering ACE a strong card...that also means that is doing well sales wise... that means that as long as ACE is a good player in mobile business then developers will continue messing with the phone... that means official cyanogen and maybe one day ICS on our ACE!!!!
in the UK the ace is quite popular and they have sold quite a bit especially on three. Its Samsungs highest selling mid range device

I've had mine since Sept. I cannot understand why they are so popular. Low ram, low Res screen, low onboard memory. It will struggle badly for firmware updates and 95% won't get official CM9 or ICS. I bought a ZTE Crescent today. Much cheaper at £99 and already find it much better. ICS being worked on and phone has only been out here two weeks.

To be honest i love my Ace, with stock ROM it can be a bit boring but that's why u gotta love Android the possibilities are endless. I wont compare my device to any other and when i buy my Nexus, the ACE will still be my everyday phone, mainly for its size.
say Galaxy Y in pink, I want my SGA in red.
Btw, check Galaxy Ace Hugo

Have you seen the screen of Wildfire S? It feels like ants having a picnic, you can't see anything clearly.
And Sense is 100x bloatware, it is not in any way faster than SGA, our stock bloaty firmware is much lighter than HTC Sense
And not to mention the battery on that phone is much lower than SGA

Samsung Galaxy Ace Tooo!(2)

Dayuuum right I'm excited guys! PhoneArena's preview of it looks promising even as a Prototype unit! Just hope for a better design. Go check out the video.
it has been introduced long time ago
Its worthless anyway as the Galaxy S Advance has come out in somewhat the same price range. Anyways I dont have money to buy it and will have to stick to CyanogenMod 9 to make my phone good. Its pretty old news anyway!

Galaxy S advance seems really good, but samsung are cheating us? Why this really new phone only run Gingerbread. There is no insjrance at all that this phone will be upgraded to ICS. Wait and see, but if the Galaxy S 3 is the only Samsung phone running ICS now., i'll certainly move to the competitor... Maybe Htc...
Enough is enough, samsung is going too far...

Worth buying SGS2 I9100G

Hey guys
Im new here. I am looking to buy SGS2 for about 26k. The problem however here(in India) is that the sellers say that they cannot distinguish between 9100 and 9100G, the model could be either of these..so its kind of a gamble, i could either get 9100 or 9100G.. :|
Now i researched quite a bit and have seen few negative reviews bout 9100G..that processor and gpu are inferior, processor doesnt reach its maximum limit(clocked at 1.008 ghz), and performance is slightly lower than original 9100..
So basically i just want to ask..whether the performance of 9100G is really that inferior, quite noticable in demanding apps? I mean i want to do loads of multitasking, heavy gaming etc.and will buying 9100G for 26k be worth?
Or i could buy some other mobile like htc evo 3d or motorola atrix 2 for lesser price and get similar performance to 9100g?
please do answer asap, im really eager to buy the mobile
thanks a lot
In retroperspective, I wouldn't buy the I9100G because of all the reasons you mentioned (inferior gpu, less developement).
You can however distinguish the G from the normal I9100 on boot (it says I9100G). It is also specified on the box.
One last thing - the cpu is limited to 1GHz but you can overclock it to the intended speed without worry.

Dude it is specified on the box...at the bottom width wise side... but if you want i9100 you can buy from flipcart.com... they wont **** with customers and wese bhi no G model on that site

For me G version is the best, all games are working perfectly on my G and i heard some games arent working for 9100. But its up to you to decide.
The 3d performance is better on the g and long battery life and less overheated ...

Only people who have G's say you should buy G's.
DON'T BUY IT !!
I have the regular i9100 but i create rom's etc for the i9100G (mainly for the Israeli community). There is little choice as far as Rom's, Mod's and Kernel's go.
The regular i9100/i9100T is a much better idea.
And as for performance at battery life, Okey the G has slightly mod battery life but its slower so no wonder.
I put a LPQ g VS an LPQ i9100 and the regular was definitely faster.
from what i know, i could tell you that, you have done the right research, and "yoelsd" have mentioned it correctly. I have both G and non-G version, G version specs is not really that good.
A. Its clocked at 1.2 ghz not 1 ghz
B.Yes less roms r there but CM9 got ported no big difference in performance cuz i m running gta3 on i9100g and mc3 the games look awesome and highly detailes so no big difference b/w the 2 models imo

Since the ICS update I have a higher score for the CPU in AnTuTu that I had in GB. It also always show 1.2 GHz now (it used to show 800 Mhz or 1008 Mhz).
What you can read about the CPU performance is no longer true.

it all depends on the user who is going to use it, what are the usage and how he is going to use it. the difference between a non-g version and a g version is the hardware, overall there isnt too much of the difference in it. So it all depends on u, cheers!!
For me there's another important difference:
Sound quality.
the Yamaha DAC used on I9100 it's not good as the one in OMAP processor.
I'm an audiophile.
in which age your now G never stops on 1.08 GHz its boosted to 1.2 GHz
If u want to get an 'S2', u should get the non-g. Take a look at the non-g forum u will see a big different, u will have a lot roms, kernels, ... and more support from devs.
If u can't buy the non-g then go buy anyphone u want EXCEPT the s2g.
U should choose the phone that got support from devs.

Dont be so negative on the 'g' . in fact its doing quiet well except lack of devs support. Its quiet fast and smooth ( i can say that its definitely faster than galaxy ace because i have one ). I like to play with phone so the ' ace ' is better because it have a lot of devs support.
BUT, if i have chance i will try to buy a non-g.
