However, it is still smaller in comparison to some other devices. The screen of the Ace 2 measures 3.8 inches, which is a bit smaller in comparison to the Galaxy Nexus. However, given the price range of the Ace 2, it is a decent size. The touchscreen is used for texting. Given the size of the screen, the Ace 2 can easily be used one-handed for texting, as the fingers are able to reach across the screen easily.

The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 does come equipped with a camera. It only offers resolution of 5 megapixels with a single LED flash. While this device has some limitations in comparison to higher end mobile phones, the intent of its design wasn’t to compete with them. Instead the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 was created to be a less expensive but high quality mobile phone.

The Ace 2 comes with 768 MB of RAM. Also included is 4 GB of storage. This should provide sufficient space for your apps and data. A microSD card slot is also built into the device, which provides additional storage if needed.
