Smartphone Samsung Galaxy Ace 3rd generation was officially introduced in the summer of 2013, and in the fall it started selling on the domestic market. As in almost all other similar devices from this manufacturer, modifications with one and two SIM cards were offered to potential buyers. An interesting feature of the novelty was the desire of developers to ensure its affordability.
Appearance
Despite the constant criticism coming to the address of South Korean designers, associated with the almost identical exterior of all Samsung phones, the novelty received the same appearance as other smartphones of the company. More specifically, that device is made in the form of a classic rectangle with rounded corners. The power and power button is located on the right side, and the volume control is located on the left side. Above and below, respectively, there is a connector for standard headphones and a port for connecting the gadget to other devices. The only significant and incomprehensible innovation, compared with the previousgeneration of the model, there was a complication of access to the slot for installing additional memory - from now on, to replace the card, you need to remove the cover. The weight of the smartphone was 115 grams.
Screen
The display can be called one of the main advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 phone. The characteristics of the screen, compared with the previous version, have changed slightly. In particular, the size of the diagonal grew by 0.2 inches and reached the mark of 4 inches. The resolution remains the same - 480x800 pixels. As a result, the image density is reduced to 233 dots per inch. Be that as it may, it is impossible to visually notice these deteriorations. The matrix can be called very good: its viewing angles are quite extensive, and the color reproduction is natural. According to the reviews left by the owners of the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3, the only drawback of the smartphone's display is the not very high brightness of the backlight, which affects the image quality under the influence of direct sunlight. Be that as it may, the comfort when working with the screen does not cause any particular complaints. As for the sensitivity of the sensor, it reacts quite quickly to user commands.
Specifications
On phones from the Ace line, the South Korean manufacturing company installs rather unusual chips that are not found anywhere else. This model was no exception. It is built on the Broadcom BCM-21664 platform. The processor consists of two cores, each of which operates at a frequency of 1 GHz. VolumeRAM was 1 GB. As for the internal storage, its capacity is 4 GB. As noted above, users can install an additional memory card.
Performance
Regarding the performance of the device, there can be mixed impressions. The basic parameters and display resolution are not enough to run Full HD videos. On the other hand, the interface works without much delay. There are no problems with scaling pages, as well as scrolling them in an Internet browser. Even relatively heavy games launched on the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 smartphone do not slow down.
Work offline
The smartphone is equipped with a 1500 mAh battery borrowed from the previous modification. Its full charge is enough for 4 hours and 20 minutes of playing HD videos with the highest brightness of the backlight. This is significantly less compared to the second generation. According to experts, the increased power consumption is due to the more powerful processor installed on the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3, as well as its higher clock speed. In other words, the device can be called a telephone, which must be kept close to the outlet. If you use the device not intensively, then a full charge of the battery will last for a whole day, but with active use of the Internet and heavy applications, it will run out in a few hours.
Camera
Model Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 is equipped with a main camera with a matrix of five megapixels. With its capabilities in terms of creating high-quality images, it is not able to surprise. Photos look about the same as other devices with mid-range cameras. Macro shooting in general can be called very good. At the same time, when there are a large number of small-sized objects, white balance problems become obvious. The device can not cope with the noise in the pictures.
Results
In general, the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 smartphone can be called a typical workhorse with acceptable functionality and cost corresponding to its capabilities. It was on the ratio of price and quality that the developers of the device made the main emphasis. As for the main disadvantages, there are not very many of them. First of all, they are associated with the usual design of the device, as well as with the rather quickly dirty materials that make up the case. This applies to both the display and the back, which are instantly covered with dust.
