Koodo Samsung Galaxy Ace now available for $200

By on October 5, 2011 at 1:47pm in Koodo Mobile News, Mobile News


Get ready for another Android to hit Canadian land. Over the weekend the Samsung Galaxy “Ace” was unofficially slapped with the to-familiar “coming soon” label, but we’ve been informed that this Android 2.3 device will make its way to Koodo Mobile customers on October 7th today. As expected, the no-contract price point will be $200 and $50 on the Tab. Good deal for the entry-level Android – the Ace has a 3.5-inch display, 800 MHz processor, 5 megapixel camera and Wi-Fi.

Update: Well, it’s now available on Koodo’s site. Same price points as above.

  3. Don’t have to be informed, it’s already listed on Koodo’s website. You can probably put an order for it directly now.

  5. Other than the screen, this is the exact same specs as the Galaxy Gio.

    Not sure the larger screen is worth the price premium, considering the Gio’s been on sale prepaid for under $100 multiple times.

    • What have you been smoking???? Samsung Gio isn’t anything close to this. Geo has smaller screen (3.2), less memory (158), Not even close on camera (3.15 MP), Video (Yes, QVGA@15fps), no front facing camera and the list goes on and one????

      You have to thinking of something else or your just an Apple fan boy and your ticked that apple throw an air ball yesterday!

    • According to GSM Arena, the Gio has 158 MB internal memory, the Ace also has 158 MB internal memory. Internal memory for storage is not RAM. The Gio has the same amount of RAM as the Ace and also has the same CPU both at 800 mhz. The Gio has Gio has VGA video capture at 15 fps, the Ace has VGA video capture at 15 fps. The Gio has no front facing camera, but neither does the Ace.

      The only differences are the screen size (they have the same resolution), and the camera and flash.

    • FWIW, the Gio apparently has issues with text messaging on Koodo or Telus.

    • I need to apologize for my comment above^^^^. I have way to many tabs open and thought I was responding to the “LG announces the Optimus LTE”. When your wrong, your wrong and I was wrong.

    • The Canadian Gio is not exactly the same as the international Gio. See difference between S5660M and S5660. The Canadian one is 3.2″ 320×480 and this Ace is 3.5″ 320×480. The camera (with a LED too) is a lot better on the Ace than the Gio. This one easily compete with a iPhone 3GS for only 200$.

      This is a good deal. The Gio was too, just a cheaper one.

    • I doubt it, since Telus/Koodo (and Bell/Solo/Virgin) use different GSM radio frequencies than Wind (and Public, Videotron, & Mobilicity). For the price you’re probably not getting a phone that supports every frequency. There are other versions of this phone though (and of the Gio) so one of those might support Wind.

    • Different frequencies, yes. But the Galaxy S II from Telus has a AWS antenna in it (aka will connect to Bell/Rogers/Telus AND Wind/Mobilicity), so there’s a chance this could be a Samsung trend.
