The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 has been tested and the verdict is in! The pumped-up sequel to the budget Samsung Galaxy Ace still strikes a balance between price point and specs, but it offers more than the original in features and performance.

An Android 2.3 Gingerbread handset, the Ace 2 hosts a strong 5-megapixel camera and a dual-core 800MHz processor. There's also a microSD card slot for external storage, and a 3.8-inch display. It isn't being released in the U.S., but it is available globally at various on-contract and pay-as-you-go rates.
