Samsung galaxy ace where are contacts stored

Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 review

The TouchWiz phonebook is excellent

A typical Android smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Ace has a phonebook with massive functionality and practically unlimited capacity.

The handset displays the phone memory, SIM-stored and all Google contacts in the phonebook. There is a dedicated setting for that, so you can have all your contacts gathered in one place. You can search the entries by either flick-scrolling the list or using the alphabet scroll at the side of the screen (courtesy of Samsung and the TouchWiz UI).

The Galaxy Ace also packs the quick contacts feature, which pioneered on Android 2.1. It lets you use the contact photo in the phonebook and call, text, or email the person with a single click.

The quick contacts feature

Typically multiple accounts for email and contact synchronization, including Exchange, are supported. There are many details that you can assign to each contact, but it still remains perfectly organized. You have all the types listed (numbers, email addresses, etc) and there's a plus sign on the right – clicking it adds another item of that type. Pressing the minus sign deletes the unneeded field.

Checking out and editing a contact’s details

In the main contact list, a swipe to the right on a name will dial the contact’s default number, while a swipe to the left will start the message composer. The side-sweep thing is part of the TouchWiz UI and works in other lists too where you have names or numbers (such as the messaging menu).

The Samsung Galaxy Ace handled calls trouble-free. The reception and in-call sound were good and we didn’t experience any dropped calls.

Smart Dialing is available and works like a charm – the implementation is the same as in every other recent Galaxy out there - it searches both contact numbers and names.

Thanks to the proximity sensor, your screen will automatically turn off during a call. The available options during a call include taking a note, using the keypad, muting, holding the call or adding another call to this conversation.

The call log is a tab within the dialer. It shows all the dialed, received and missed calls in one list sorting your call history by contacts.

We also ran our traditional loudspeaker test on the Galaxy Ace. It scored an Average mark. More info on the test itself as well as other results can be found here .
