Three UK Gains Samsung Galaxy Pro and Mini in April

A couple of more Samsung Galaxy smartphones are heading for Three in the UK, the Samsung Galaxy Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Mini, with both bringing along Android 2.2 Froyo as their operating system.

According to an article over on T3, the Samsung Galaxy Pro is a QWERTY keyboard device along the lines of a BlackBerry, although the Galaxy Pro does feature a 2.8-inch capacitive touch screen, 3 megapixel auto-focus camera and an 800MHz processor.

As for the Samsung Galaxy Mini, as expected by the name the Android device is a small smartphone with a 3.14-inch capacitive touch screen, 3 megapixel camera, 600MHz processor, and Phone Arena gives us a few more specs such as FM radio, A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi b/g/n, 160MB built-in memory, microSD expansion up to 32GB and a 3.5mm jack.

Apparently the Samsung Galaxy Mini is positioned as a budget handset for customers that may think the Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy S II are a tad expensive for their tastes.

Furthermore it has now been confirmed that both the Samsung Galaxy Pro and Samsung Galaxy Mini will hit the Three network in the UK next month however no actual date or prices were given.
