Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 Review: Now Available in Nigeria

Samsung has come-up with another mid-range Smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3. Although it’s not much of an upgrade to its predecessor “Galaxy Ace Line”, it’s still an amazing Smartphone to tryout. Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 which is the third generation Ace runs Android 4.2 (jelly bean) on a 1GHz dual-core processor.
This was the exact strategy that Samsung successfully employed with the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, which continues to be a very competitive Android package following its update to version 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
