Rogers to release the Samsung Galaxy Q

By on July 20, 2011 at 10:30am in Mobile News, Rogers Wireless News


Another Android device is heading to Rogers, the Samsung Galaxy Q. Let’s get this out of the way up front, this is not the mammoth 5.3-inch Android tablet/smartphone that looks to be a cross between the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Samsung Galaxy Tab. This “Q” is an entry level QWERTY slider that’s most likely targeted to the back-to-school crowd. There’s limited spec info on this device as it’s apparently only coming to Canada, but we hear that it has a 3.2-inch display and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread (still unconfirmed). More evidence of this hitting Rogers showed up in their training guide for the upcoming “Smartphone Lite” category – the Q is the device peeping in the back and also in the text portion. We have no word on price points or an exact launch date, but Q3 time frame is confirmed. (One more pic below)

(Thanks tipster!)

  3. Why is the Xperia Mini Pro on that list? As far as I know it was announced by Rogers last year but never ended up getting released.

  5. Meh, doesn’t affect me as I’ll never buy a “lite” device, but good for those who want the smartphone experience, but don’t want a $50+ plan. For the “lite” users.

    Not so sure about the Xperia mini pro though, that’s gotta be a tough phone to use.

  7. darn, I was hoping it was the new 5.3″ phone. I guess I’ll need to purchase off eBay and unlock when it becomes available.

  9. Now, if it was a dual core Samsung QWERTY slider, like a Galaxy S2 with keyboard, I’d be all over it. Instead it’s some lame “entry level” kiddie phone. Guess we’ll have to wait till fall/winter for Rogers to get a phone on par with Bell’s offerings. Here’s hoping for a Tegra 2 phone.

    • Like a dual core QWERTY better then the SGS2 would be in a “lite” category. If you need dual core obviously you would be using more then 100MB

  11. Alex is right, the SE Xperia mini pro is the 2011 model not the 2010 model, the 2010 model is called the Xperia X10 mini pro. its a pretty decent entry level android device actually,look http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini_pro-3713.php

  12. The Q is probably a slider version of the Phoenix. If you’re in the “OMG it HAS to have a dual-core or it’s a COMPLETE waste of time” fanboy… you’re on the wrong trolley. This is a phone for kids of parents who don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on a $99.99 phone and a $55 monthly plan. Not every phone needs to be filled with the latest hardware to be a legitimate option for lots of customers out there.
