Cameras

Under artificial lighting and darkness, there will be noises. Among the main camera settings there are several subjects - portrait, landscape, night, text, etc. Take advantage of the shooting type as well - panorama, series, etc.
The video quality that the Galaxy Ace is capable of capturing is mediocre. This is implied by the maximum resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The videos are not clear enough when viewed on large diagonal screens.
Autonomous operation
The Galaxy Ace's battery has a capacity of 1350 mAh. It guarantees about a day's work under typical load - for example, an hour of phone calls, 2-3 hours of listening to music, taking 10-20 photos and background data synchronization.
