Sidestepping the fanfare and press events typically associated
with Samsung product launches, Samsung's revealed another addition to its
Galaxy family. As we saw teased just hours ago, it's the Galaxy Ace 3,
Samsung's latest (humbly specced) smartphone, arriving in 3G (1GHz dual-core
processor) and LTE (1.2 GHz dual-core processor) options. Both devices house a
4-inch (480 x 800) LCD display, placing the new device just beneath theGalaxy S4 Mini in Samsung's 2013 smartphone pecking
order. Despite those pretty underwhelming technical points, the company's has
managed to cram in some of its latest software additions like S Translator, S
Voice, and Smart Stay into its diminutive new phone.
There's Android 4.2 underneath, while a 5-megapixel
camera with LED flash resides on the back. 8GB of built-in storage rounds out
the LTE device, with user-accessible storage of 5GB. There's 4GB in the 3G model
with just 1.77GB of space -- but don't worry, there's also storage expansion up
to 64GB through microSD. We've added it to our to-do list for Samsung's
incoming London event --
it's going to be a busy evening.
