Samsung announces four new Galaxy Androids: Ace, Fit, Gio and Mini

January 26, 2011 | by Lars Aronsson

Samsung has sold 10 million Galaxy S Android phones – that’s a big success, and it’s understandable that the South Korean manufacturer wants to take advantage of the popular Galaxy brand name. Four new Galaxy handsets have been announced by Samsung: the Ace, Fit, Gio and Mini.

None of them are high-end devices, so they will come in more affordable packages, but one or two seem pretty promising nonetheless. Of these new Galaxy Android phones, the Ace is most similar to the big brother S, but it has a smaller screen with a lower resolution and a little less powerful CPU.

All of the new Galaxy phones have standard Android features such as aGPS, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, accelerometer, magnetometer and proximity sensors. Swype comes preinstalled, and the devices all run Android 2.2 with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI on top.

Low end and no/slow android updates? Why bother? Maybe they can trick grandma.

It's interesting that all these devices are not running Android 2.3. This is in line with my theory that many (most?) Android manufacturers will skip 2.3 in favor of a post-Honeycomb version. Borys Burnayev actioncomplete.com GTD for Android and Web
