Samsung has announced two new dual-SIM phones for its Galaxy line of smartphones.
Dual-SIM phones are extremely handy for the frequent traveler, or even just folks that don't like to be tied down to any one network. Samsung this week delivered two new Android devices for dual-SIM fans in the form of the Galaxy Y Duos and the Galaxy Y Pro Duos.
Both phones are running Android 2.3, also known as Gingerbread, and are compatible with GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands. However, there are some differences between the two devices. The biggest difference is that the regular Galaxy Y Duos is a full touchscreen phone, while the Pro model features a full hardware QWERTY keyboard. As a result, the Pro has a smaller screen than the regular Duos, measuring in at 2.6-inches while the touchscreen model packs a 3.14-inch display.
Other than input method and screensize, there doesn't seem to be much else different about the two phones when comparing them to each other. They both appear to run on the same 832MHz processor, and boast a HSDPA modem, 3-megapixel camera, microSD support (up to 32GB) and Samsung's TouchWiz Android UI.
Samsung mentioned nothing about pricing for either phone, but we're hoping for something fairly modest, as the phones aren't exactly top-of-the-range when compared to some of the other phones we're seeing these days. Both are set for ability in January of 2012, and will hit Russia first. Sadly there's no word on a U.S. release, but Samsung does mention subsequent launches for both phones in Europe, Latin America, Southeast and Southwest Asia, Middle East, Africa and China. Fingers crossed North America makes it onto the release list at some point.
