There are already so many Android smartphones released even just this year that choosing one can be really tricky. And with the new Samsung Galaxy Ace Style, choices have become ever more varied.
Personally, I don’t think the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style has any place in the market. Yes, it may look different with that textured stripe at its back, but such appearance hardly makes it any more stylish than other Samsung handsets. In terms of specs, what we have here is last year’s Galaxy Ace 3 in disguise. One would think that the Ace Style has the upper hand with its preinstalled KitKat, but the Ace 3 is also getting that Android version as an update.

In any case, Samsung thinks its Galaxy Ace Style will be a hit for the “young, expressive consumer.” The device employs TouchWiz Essence for its touch-user interface and comes preloaded with ChatOn and Google+.
Available in cream white and dark gray colors, the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style is expected to globally sell this month. Pricing is yet to be confirmed. If it’s south of Php5,000, maybe it will turn a couple of heads.
