Samsung releases the Galaxy Ace Hugo Boss edition

After the successful collaboration with Giorgio Armani on the special edition of Galaxy S, Samsung is now friends again with Hugo Boss as back in the days of Samsung F480. The fruit of the their new cooperation is the Galaxy Ace Hugo Boss edition.

After taking a look at it you can clearly see why Samsung and Hugo Boss dub this device as being specially tailored to the lifestyle of the fashion brand's customers. The smartphone has a matte black finish abd the back cover has been given special treatment from the designers over at Hugo Boss.
But the modifications don't stop on the outside. The Ace Hugo Boss also features special wallpapers to make your Hugo Boss stand out from the crowd of Samsung Aces even further.

Unfortunately, that's about the changes the special collaboration between the two companes brings to the table. Hardware-wise, the Ace Hugo Boss has not changed a bit from the original. The smartphone still features a 3.5-inch 320x480 pixels screen, 800MHz single-core processor, 5MP autofocus camera and the usual Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and microSD slot found on most Android smartphones.
Happily though, the Samsung Ace Hugo Boss runs Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and will be available pretty soon at selected Hugo Boss stores as well as on their website. There's no official pricing but we spotted a store that has it for about 280 euros taxes included. If you can afford Hugo Boss costumes, that sort of cash should be pocket money to you.

Samsung Galaxy S gets Android 2.3.5 update in the UK

The original Samsung Galaxy S resigned from the role of a flagship quite some time ago, but it's good to know that it's still getting good treatment by its maker. Samsung just started seeding the Android 2.3.5 update to the I9000 units in the UK, or at least to those of them who didn't already get it by the dark means of manually flashing one of the leaked ROMs.

The changelog includes a batch of bugfixes to the system apps, some performance tweaks and the stock Gingerbread glow when you reach the end of a list. The messaging app got some improvements as well and it should now launch and operate much faster.

Battery life should also see an improvement after the update as Samsung have done some work to optimize the power consumption of the smartphone.

The update is said to wipe your apps and data so you'd to well to back them up before starting. And don't forget to drop a line in the comments, saying how are you liking your Galaxy S after the update.
