Recently I got a bunch of old or outdated phones. A half of them are unusable now due to dead or missing batteries, including button-clickies, two Nokia's, Sony Ericsson and a pair of these Samsung guys. They are my favourite amongst all of my findings and glad they connect to the internet/bluetooth and do atleash some job.
It's full model name is "Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i", released in 2012, runs Android 2.3.6 (i think got updated from stock 2.3), and the camera is SUPER cool as for me, feels like a digi-camera from same period, though resolution is 4:3 (2560x1920 aka 5 MP). Video is awful bad - 3GP 176x144 for MMS (SMS) or MP4 320x240 with somewhat about 25 fps.
Of course, no modern sites would load here, except HTTP based (including somehow that php-based one). Sometimes it would struggle on Captcha while googling. And the last and big downfall is that you can't log into your Google Account thus can't update using built-in utilites (maybe you can do that with ADB or whatever, but I currently have no microUSB data-cable on my hands).
this is an outro
