A tweet from Samsung U.K. today reveals that the Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 will not be receiving an update to Android 5.0. The phone is a low-end device and there are obviously problems with Android 5.0 running smoothly on the handset. Back in April, it was announced by U.K. carrier Three that memory limitations would prevent the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini from receiving the same update.
The Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 comes with a 4.3-inch screen with a 480 x 800 resolution. That works out to a pixel density of 217ppi. Under the hood is the Snapdragon 410 SoC which includes a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU and the Adreno 306 GPU. 1GB of RAM is inside along with 4GB of native storage. In the likely event that more memory is required, a 64GB capacity microSD slot is available. A 5MP camera adorns the back of the unit while a 1.3MP snapper is found in the front. Keeping the lights on is a 1900mAh battery, and it appears that this phone stops at Android 4.4.
Since the Galaxy Ace 4 was unveiled nearly a year ago, we could be due for a Galaxy Ace 5 with Android 5.0 pre-installed. So far though, there is nothing in the breeze about such a device.
