Verdict
The Samsung Galaxy SC LCD i9003 is a clear winner and is very well worth the extra 4500 bucks. For starters, the 0.5 inches of extra display makes quite a lot of difference. Ace’s resolution of 320×480 pixels is pretty low compared to today’s standards. The i9003 also boasts of a more powerful processor, much higher RAM and a much better screen. The Super LCD display is way better than normal LCD displays, though it cannot be compared with Samsung’s legendary AMOLED/SAMOLED displays.
