Samsung announced the Samsung Galaxy M and the Samsung Galaxy Ace plus

More news from Samsung as we get closer to CES, this time unveiling two new budget phones that will make their debut at CES.

First is the Samsung Galaxy M. This is very similar to the original Galaxy S phone specs wise. It's running Android 2.3 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4, it's powered by a 1GHz single-core processor, 3MP camera with a front-facing camera, 4GB internal storage and a 1650mAh battery.

It looks very similar to the Galaxy S II, but not as thin at only 9.9mm thin. It will be available in three colors, Platinum Silver, Blue Black and Lavender Pink. No word if it will be coming here to the US but you can get it for $499.

And then there's the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, a successor to last years very popular Galaxy Ace. It's also running Android 2.3 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4, a smaller 3.665-inch display but with a surprising bad resolution at 480x320, really? It's powered by a 1GHz single-core processor with 512MB of RAM, 5MP camera with flash and a 1300mAh battery.

The Ace will be available shortly after it's CES debut across Europe, CIS, Latin America, Southeast and Southwest Asia, the Middle East, Africa and China. No word on US at this time, but you can expect a prepaid carrier to pick up this phone as one of their high-end devices.
