Samsung Launches GALAXY Ace DUOS with “Always On Call” Feature

South Korean handset vendor Samsung has just announced the upcoming availability of Galaxy Ace DUOS Android phone. At first glance, this seems to be the GSM variant of the CDMA-enabled Galaxy Ace DUOS, which was launched back in February.

The previously launched Galaxy Ace DUOS is dual-SIM and supports both CDMA and GSM networks, whereas the new Galaxy Ace DUOS only comes with GSM support. However, customers looking for a dual-SIM device may want to check this one out, as the handset comes with a neat new feature called “always on.” While this “dual-SIM always on” feature is enabled, the Galaxy Ace DUOS will automatically forward calls from the phone number on SIM 2, even if the owner is using the SIM 1 phone number. This will ensure that users will never miss a call again.

“With Dual SIM convenience, enhanced connectivity, and performance features, the GALAXY Ace Duos delivers a sleek design and incredible features intended to provide consumers with a smartphone that meets their hidden needs,” said JK Shin, president and head of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung.  Aside from its dual-SIM capability, Samsung Galaxy Ace DUOS packs a 3.5-inch HVGA capacitive touchscreen display (320 x 480 pixels), a 5-megapixel rear camera and HSDPA (7.2Mbps) support. The smartphone is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system integrated with Samsung TouchWiz UX user interface.

On the inside, the phone is equipped with an 832 MHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM and 3GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD. According to Samsung, the GALAXY Ace DUOS will be initially launched in June in Russia, and gradually rolled out to Europe, CIS, Latin America, Southeast and Southwest Asia, Middle East, Africa, and China. No word on price tag yet. “We continue to listen to our customers and lead them to a life extraordinary by expanding our GALAXY smart device range, which continues to gain traction as one of the most recognized and popular mobile brands in the world,” added JK Shin.
