More confirmation of the upcoming TELUS Samsung Galaxy Apollo


There’s been rumours in the past about the TELUS releasing the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Apollo. It appeared in a back-to-school promo but with no launch date and it’s apparently now coming soon. Thanks to a tipster who let us know that the Apollo has popped up again, this time in a list of devices that are eligible for the Student 40 plan… which means it’s launching before the plan expires on October 5th, 2010.

Specs of the Apollo have it coming with Android OS 2.1, 3.2-inch display (resolution of 240 x 400), WiFi, 3 megapixel camera that records 720p videos, GPS, WiFi, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth.

More soon!

  3. hmm. I wonder if this is a totally different Apollo then the one gsmarena.com has on their site.

    According to them, the Apollo only has a 3.2″ LCD Display (not AMOLED) and has a 3.2MP camera with video capabilities (not 5MP and no HD recording). And apparently it only has a 667MHz processor with 256MB of RAM.

    I’d say a decent smartphone for beginners. unless its true that it has a 5MP camera with HD recording and an AMOLED screen, then I’m all up for it.

  4. Oh also, I just checked the Telus website, apparently that LG phone with the “mobilesyrup” watermark on the picture that covers what LG phone it is….its the LG Shine Plus.

  5. TELUS. DO BUSINESS IN A CLEAR WAY!
    $50 IS A VERY WELL PAID PRICE FOR A VOICE AND DATA PLAN.
    WHY SHOULD I PAY 15 CENTS FOR SMS YOU SEND TO ME?
    WHY SHOULD I HAVE A SMART PHONE IF I CAN NO SEE WHO IS CALLING ME?
    BE SMART AND UNDERSTAND YOUR PRODUCTS, COSTUMERS AND SERVICES!!!!!!!!YOU WILL NEVER EVER KEEP COSTUMERS CHARGING THEM FOR 15 CENTS SMS MESSAGES….$8 FOR CALL DISPLAY…ITIS RIDICULOUS….GROW UP.
    $50 IS ENOUGH TO COVER ALL COSTS. GIVE ME A FULL SERVICE AND PROVE YOU ARE GOOD. STOP THINKING SMALL!

  6. Why can’t you add a blackberry to the $40 student plan? 100MB would be enough for a blackberry.

  7. JB, it’s the one and same Apollo you saw on gsmarena, there’s no other Apollo. If you’re wondering about AMOLED vs SLCD, the Desire came in both AMOLED and SLCD as well and they’re still the same Desire.

    • Yeah thats what I figured. Its just the author of this article originally had this phone with an AMOLED screen and a 5MP camera and HD video, which I corrected him on.

      However, I did some research, and it appears there is another Apollo model called the M100S. Just google “Samsung Apollo M100S” and it will come up. It was a South Korean Only model of the Apollo, which did have a 3.7″ AMOLED screen and 5MP camera and was leaked to possibly be going to Orange UK in Europe. So it might or not be the version that will be hitting Telus soon.
