With Samsung's announcement of four new mid-range Froyo smartphones comes the Galaxy Ace, the leader of the pack.

"Designed for trendy and sociable young professionals", the Android-equipped Samsung Galaxy Ace boasts a stylish, elegant design, similar in appearance to Apple's iPhone 4. With dimensions of just 112.4 x 59.9 x 11.5mm, it's much smaller than the Samsung flagship Galaxy S, too.

Within its glossy chassis sits a 3.5 inch capacitive HVGA display, dressed in Samsung's user-friend TouchWiz 3.0 skin. Samsung have also equipped this handset with Samsung Social Hub, providing instant access to your email, Facebook and Twitter updates. For super-fast messaging, the handset also launches with Swype pre-installed.

It's not just ideal for staying in the loop, as the S5830 Galaxy Ace arrives powered by an 800MHz Qualcomm processor, making this a snappy little handset, ideal for multitasking.

It's also designed for entertaining, and lands equipped with a 5 megapixel camera, complete with autofocus, LED flash, digital zoom and video capture. 3G and WiFi connectivity are also onboard for speedy web browsing, and it also offers up to 32GB of memory via microSD, making it perfect for storing all of your media.

Once available in February 2011, the Samsung Galaxy Ace is likely to launch in a number of colours, and will be available to order on Three.
