Building on the popularity of the Galaxy Ace, the Galaxy Ace Duos (GSM + GSM) combines a sleek design, high-performance features and a rich experience with dual-SIM support, allowing users to manage their work and personal lives with one smartphone.

GSM + GSM version announced

“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. “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.”

The Galaxy Ace Duos’s dual SIM system aims to maximize communication flexibility by allowing users to manage two separate phone numbers on one smartphone. Samsung’s ‘dual SIM always on’ feature automatically forwards calls from the phone number on SIM 2, even if a user is on the phone with SIM 1′s number. This ensures that a user can always manage their work and personal lives and never miss a call.

In addition to its connectivity features, the Galaxy Ace Duos comes with Samsung’s Touchwiz user interface. 3GB of internal storage means you can store a number of videos, music, and images on the go. And then there’s ChatON, Samsung’s communication service that connects users on any phone platform into a single community. Designed for users with active lifestyles, the Galaxy Ace Duos will be available from June, starting with Russia and will gradually be rolled out to Europe, CIS, Latin America, Southeast and Southwest Asia, Middle East, Africa, and China.
