Samsung announced dual-SIM card Galaxy Y Duos and Galaxy Y Pro Duos phones






Sure you never think you need two SIM cards, but think of all the possibilities. Many people carry a work and a personal phone, why not have two lines on the same device. Here in the US we don’t think about it, but dual-SIM devices are actually pretty commonplace in Asia and other parts of the world.

Samsung has just introduced a pair of dual-SIM Android phones, the Galaxy Y Duos and Galaxy Y Pro Duos, the latter of which is equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard. Both phones run Android 2.3 with TouchWiz and have a 3MP camera on the back. The touchscreen only version has 3.1 inch QVGA screen and a 1300mAh battery while the Pro version includes a larger 1350mAh battery, front-facing VGA camera, but a smaller 2.6 inch screen as a result of the keyboard inclusion.

Pricing has not been announced, but the first launch will be coming in January in Russia. The Galaxy Y Duos will then roll out to Europe, Africa, CIS, Latin America, Southeast and Southwest Asia, the Middle East, and China. The keyboarded Pro version is headed to Europe, Africa, CIS, Latin America, Southwest Asia, and the Middle East. No plans have been announced to release either device in the US, however both are compatible with AT&T (850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands).
