It not lighting fast response but then it not sluggish either, just about right, (if you you really want a top of the range processor you will need to spend a lot more).

The Samsung Galaxy Ace II is a brilliant phone for multimedia and power users, it's 800hz duo core snapdragon proprocessor keepa the system running smooth, powered by 768mb ram and a whopping 4gb memory. It can play all types of file formats from 3gpp to the divx hq formats at 720p.

Only had ace2 for 48hrs it wont let me answer calls.manager at everything everywhere says I have a faulty thumb, its not phone fault. cust.svcs not interested, now diverting all calls to PAYG is only way of answering but stuck in 2yr contract!

Had the S2, but sold it. Bought this instead. The screen is clear, good in call volume and reception. Found that battery life is stronger. Tried the video recorder and the picture and sound quality were better than expected. Music player is fantastic and won't let you down.

If you're about to buy a mid-range phone, then you'll more than likely be glad of the help from sites such as Pocket-lint, because it is, without doubt, the most confusing part of the market.

Decent price; sturdy; responsive; good battery life

Average camera; very limited internal storage

Surprisingly at this price, there's plenty on offer from the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. The touchscreen is a great size for surfing, texting and emailing, the five-megapixel snapper is impressive for a budget handset, and the dual-core chip handles most apps and games well.

Smooth TouchWiz UI; powerful budget chip; good-sized touch-screen; impressive five-megapixel snapper

Outdated version of Android

Samsung's Galaxy Ace 2 is more high-end than its last-gen siblings, thanks to its 800MHz dual-core processor and 3.8-inch WVGA screen

The Galaxy Ace 2 has a friendly UI, but is prone to lagging somewhat. Even browsing can be slow on both 100Mb Wifi and normal 3G. Still a very good phone with everything you can expect from a decent smartphone; voice control, good camera/video, etc.

Good camera; Integrates Apps Well; Easy to use

Laggy On Jellybean; Slow Browsing

I bought this phone for my daughter, I cannot stress how great this phone is! Its easy to use, excellent camera, long battery life and short charging time, and great for searching the internet. After a few weeks of having the phone, the phones charger stopped working.

What more can I say. it fits on the phone. It is a soft gel case and works as advertised.
