This is a short Galaxy Ace review and my first video tryout. I suck in editing, period. Vids was edited on Sony Vegas while the color grading is done in After Effects using Magic Bullet Looks. Note to self : Never color grade a video that is in a letterbox format cause it’ll grade the two black bars all together. =.=

Looking at the specs, for a RM999 phone, I bet this is hard to resist. The only downside? Low graphics and of course the plasticky felling we always knew with Samsung phones. (:
