The Galaxy Ace is a 3G smartphone, offering quad-band GSM and announced with two-band HSDPA (900/2100) at 7.2 Mbit/s. The display is a 3.5 inch TFT LCD capacitive touchscreen with its protection by a Gorilla Glass and has HVGA (320x480) resolution.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy Ace has a 5-megapixel auto-focus camera with a resolution of 2560 x 1920 pixels.{{cite web|title=GSMArena Samsung galaxy ace - camera|url=http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_ace_s5830-review-573p6.php}} It has a LED flash along with the camera for low-light scenes.

Gaming

Having an Adreno 200 GPU, and a lower processor with a lower screen resolution, the Galaxy Ace cannot run high-definition games; however, third-party developers can port some games to work on the Galaxy Ace. As in the GT-S5830i model, the device uses VideoCore IV which may introduce some improved characteristics{{cite web |title=Broadcom BCM2835 SoC has the most powerful mobile GPU in the world? |url=http://www.grandmax.net/2012/01/broadcom-bcm2835-soc-has-powerful.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120218012632/http://www.grandmax.net/2012/01/broadcom-bcm2835-soc-has-powerful.html |archive-date=2012-02-18 }} but has major issues with games since neither Broadcom nor Samsung shares the source code; 3D games that work in original model might have incompatibilities with GT-S5830i. Games and Applications that are ported for the ARM6 do work on this phone.
