Samsung today announced two new additions to the GALAXY smartphone range: GALAXY Ace 2, which will be available in UK from April, and GALAXY mini 2, which will be available in France from March before being rolled out globally.
GALAXY Ace 2 delivers multitasking, fast screen transitions and high-quality graphics for applications and games. The smarpthone offers HSPA 14.4 connectivity, 4GB of internal storage and a 1,500mAh battery.
Samsung Hubs and ChatON services ensure that users are never far from the content or social connections. Music Hub allows one-step access to over 17 million tracks at anytime; Game Hub offers users the latest gaming titles; Social Hub allows users to view their instant messages, social network and email communications all in one single inbox. Samsung's ChatON service connects users with other phone users - across any platform - into a single community, providing instant messaging and group chatting.
GALAXY mini 2 packs a performance punch into its slim and colorful 11.9mm-thick casing. The 3.27" HVGA touch-screen enables high-quality multimedia viewing while maintaining the device's portability.
An improved 1,300mAh battery capacity also guarantees extended multimedia usage. 4GB of storage allows users to store videos, music and images.
