My husband brought the galaxy ace and I brought the galaxy y (so have seen and used both) - I prefer the galaxy y because it is better for smaller hands which I have :-) The galaxy y is cheaper but only by about £20 :-)

Reading thought this thread has been so enlightening. It tells me that, though we now have "Smart" phones, we do not have "Smart" people. Or maybe it is just that mobile phones bring out the latent idiot in everybody?

I had a galaxy ace, but i lost it! then i replaced it with the y and i'm very surprised that android work's faster on it! apps like angry birds are running much better on the y. they both have almost the same hardware, the y is smaller but the resolution is low. that's why it works so fast!

The last Versions of the Ace (i,M and C) come with The same 832 MHZ Processor, also they come with Android 2.3.6, and the Young too. So your arguments are invalid

Galaxy Y would be better because of "same hardware power for less screen resolution "... And it is really lightweight... A perfect model for budget line!
