  • Hello and Welcome or another Budget Builds Video where today we'll be taking a look at the Samsung Galaxy Ace....Also known as the £14 Phone from China....Which is definitely not something that I was expecting to be legitimate, but here it is in 2018.....A Smartphone from a real brand, for such a low price....But just cause it says "Samsung" doesent neccesarily mean it's any good? .... Or does it?

    This was my first smart phone back in the day. Lovely phone, but sadly due to lack of ANY internal storage it is completely unusable... Literally, you can't even update Google play services to update the store to install any apps...

    • @fallingwater
      @fallingwater 5 років тому +23

      I used to fix people's computers and electronics for a living and dealt with my fair share of these - *everybody* had trouble with it, for exactly the reason you mention; I can't fathom how anyone at Samsung thought it a good idea, or how the miserable thing sold so much.
      It was fixable, but it took some effort: you had to acquire a microSD (preferably a fast one, if you didn't want to wait three eternities for things to load), root the phone and then reformat the microSD with some kind of utility - I forget which one exactly, or if a phone flash was involved - which would do some filesystem magic and fool the OS into thinking the microSD was actually the internal storage. At that point you could no longer remove the microSD - now formatted in ext3 and therefore unreadable in Windows even if you were to plug it in - or the whole system would crash; it was effectively bound to your phone. However, you could at least *do* stuff with the damn thing now.

    My Samsung Galaxy S2 was a great phone. Got it in 2011. Surely there are $25 used examples around? The S2 is a beast compared to this thing. The only issue - which ultimately killed mine (but is easily repairable, I just decided to finally replace the phone)- is the power button gets wonky. FWIW- I stopped buying premium phones. Seems silly to be walking around with a $800-$1200 device that can easily be damaged. I went with a old new stock unlocked S7 Edge for $220. A good phone and I don't feel like I need insurance because it cost so much.

      The Ace 2 shipped with either Android 2.3 or 4.0, and there was an update to Android 4.1 on the cards (which probably didn't see much given the low specs of phones from this era). I'm more surprised that you actually got Android 7.0 installed on such an old device!

    Yes it's back again! (the video) It's really cool to see how phones have evolved from that point! I mean looking at the insanely low end specs such as the 100mb storage, which is insanely small, though it might be able to store some music but that ageing battery kinda ruins that and gaming and emulation is out of question since NES is pretty much pushing it's limits.

      See, the point of those phones was that you would install an SD card to suit your requirements.
      An 8 GB SD card was affordable back then; and putting one into your phone immediately solved a lot of those issues. Including music. 8 GB back then could store a lot.
      These phones were meant to operate with an SD Card installed.

    You reminded me my Galaxy Ace 2 and my adventures with it. It has this good that it's actually a dual core that can do a bit more than original ace. I remember all the crazy overvolting, overclocking, setting SD card as a Vram to increase it till 64Mb. I was able to run there like music player, copying files between phone memory and SD card, download more stuff on phone and some Facebook for people Into anime. This how it performed was really up to the install and once it was just perfect, second time impossible to use without rage quits. If there will be positive feedback on this episode you can give ace 2 a go.

      @ well expensive is subjective to the person that is buying the object. Whyle is not a secret that to have the best performance per € you have to often spend thousands of euros, there are very few fully functional computers that have an absolute cost that is lower than a Raspberry Py. Overrated is subjective too, it is a tiny humble versatile computer supported by a great community. There are of course some fanboys around, but that's true for everything and I'm sorry if you had bad experiences with some of them.

    •  5 років тому +2

      That's overgeneralization. You can get much faster and more recent microcomputers for the same price (or lower) with more peripherals. Sure, the community support (which is the selling point of RPi these days) may not be all hunky-dory, but I'd take ROCK64 (with 4 GB RAM, twice the computing power, true gigabit ethernet) or some Odroid machine over RPi any day.

    What a coincidence - this exact model was given to me about a year ago. I'm using it for FM radio (newer phones don't tend to have that), music playback from 64 GB SD card (my actual phone - the Note 5 - does not support SD card expanison so I'm stuck with it's 32 GB) through foobar (for FLAC file support) and offline navigation on my bike. My battery last a day with FM radio or music, but GPS draws a lot more. But, still very usable for me.
    I gave up on installing anything through the app store as it would not complete any download / installation for me. So I got everything on there through apk files. I'm running the stock ROM as it does everything I need. There is no SIM card inside and I disabled WiFi.
    But nice to see what "non-offline" stuff it can do if one was determined to put the necessary work into it. Flashing CFW is always a hassle so I'm only doing it if I really need it.

I can still watch youtube on the default browser, with FB lite do some chatting. A trick I do is to quickly fill the phone up with apps you will use. Once you do that Google play services will not install itself and hog up the precious space in thr phone, giving you useable some apps on the phone.

It had plenty of storage back in the day (facebook app was something like 3mb and this phone had something like 120mb) It had a broadcomm cpu, videocore 4 gpu and 289mb of ram.

    It has a not so bad battery life using it normally as a maindriver, around 6-8 hours and at full load 4hours. (my gs6 lasted 4h30min in light-to-none use). The phone's performance is buttery smooth!
    Its camera doesnt handle too well dark, but its usable, even more with the app "opencamera" that allows a better control of it.
    It can shoot 1080p30fps.
    It has around 10gb free of internal "sdcard" and can take external 32gb sdcards easily. So i can swap them all the time and have, for example, many gigs there.
    Its limited in the normal youtube app to 480p quality (that looks very nice in it), but i dont see as a bad thing, as, in the end its mobile data friendly, and also slow wireless friendly.

    I had to use one of these temporarily while. Y main phone was being repaired. I couldn’t update the o/s because it constantly told me there wasn’t enough space to install it. I couldn’t delete any of the pre installed apps to make the room for it! Fcuking terrible phone.

    My friend had this phone in 2012 and it was a really big at that time. I remember having a resistive touch non android phone back than which could only run brower and didnt had 3g.
