This one got slipped under the doormat by our friends at Samsung. A new version of their Ace will be hitting the streets on Friday and you’ll be able to get it from Samsung direct or EE and O2.
Let’s cut to the chase shall we? It’s going to be pretty cheap. Early signs are that it’ll be available SIM-free for around £175 but you might well get it for even less. It’ll do 4G, it’s got a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU and a 4.3″ WVGA AMOLED screen (480×800 pixels @ 233 ppi), a 5 megapixel rear camera with flash plus a front-facing VGA one, FM radio, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal memory plus a microSD slot for another 64GB. You also get Android 4.4 (KitKat) powering the device along with Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi b/g/n, GPS and a 1900 mAh battery.
