Samsung Launches Galaxy S Duos by JideTheBlogger(m): 8:54am On Aug 22, 2012 |
Samsung announced the Galaxy S Duos on Monday, the newest addition to the company’s Galaxy smartphone lineup. Sporting a design similar to Samsung’s popular Galaxy S III smartphone, the Galaxy S Duos comes with one feature not found on many smartphones: the ability to support two SIM cards. Dual-SIM support would allow you to have two different phones numbers, running on two different networks, on the same phone. For instance, if your work number is on MTN and you use Globacom in your personal life, you could pop both SIM cards in the Galaxy S Duos and use the same phone for both accounts. “Its unique ‘Dual SIM Always On’ feature allows you to receive calls on one SIM number while taking a call from the other, ensuring that you can manage both personal and work commitments without ever missing a call.” Samsung said in a blog post announcing the phone. The Galaxy S Duos has a 4-inch 480x 800 TFT touchscreen display and ships with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Under the hood, the phone has a 1GHz processor and has 4GB of built-in storage. It also has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera. While on the surface the handset looks similar to the Galaxy S III, it’s significantly different in some key ways. Specifically, the Galaxy S III has a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED screen with 1,280 x 720 resolution. The Galaxy S III also has a higher-resolution 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and comes with 16 or 32GB of built-in storage. A number of other features are a cut above the S Duos on the spec sheet as well. The Samsung Galaxy S Duos will be available next month in Europe, with no word on when or if it will ever head to Nigeria. What do you think of the Galaxy S Duos?

Single core CPU, low end GPU. if you plan to play popular 3D Android games, stay away from this. This is an excellent phone otherwise for folks who don't play games. 1 Like |

Impressive. From the look of the specs, Nah, I'll shop for the HTC Dual sim variant. For those who carry three phones around, might prove a good investment. |

Billyonaire: iPhone has finally been murdered. You should stick to commenting about things you know about. doofanc: wow! dual sim android!! Dual SIM android phones have been on sale for the past 2 years... seechris: am sure its only in Africa people need to have two Sims, but Samsung would have made it up to the s3 standards, we will still buy it . The Chinese are the world's biggest purchasers of Dual SIM phones. Most other asian countries too. SimonAndal: And they say Samsung copied Apple. Copy my foot! Seems Apple's run out of ideas and is trying to switch to lawsuits as a primary source of revenue. Ignorance kills. Do you know how much revenue Apple rakes in per quarter? Lawsuits my butt! |

Saw the news about this phone yesterday& methinks its a very watered down Samsung S3 Looks promising though Also Samsung wants almost all the Smartphone market to themselves with the rate at which they are moving |
