Samsung Galaxy S Glide slides into Rogers

By on November 17, 2011 at 8:47am in Mobile News, Rogers Wireless News


In the meantime of the Galaxy Nexus hitting Rogers, Samsung has officially released the Galaxy S Glide today. As expected this comes in at the $149.99 3-year contract price and rages north towards $549.99 no-term. The highlight, apart form being Android 2.3 (no word yet on the upgrade to ICS), is that it’s the only Galaxy S that has a slide out QWERTY keyboard. In addition, this comes with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 8 megapixel camera that records 1080p HD videos, a 1.2MP front-facing camera and Wi-Fi.

Update: The Galaxy S Glide has now made it on the Rogers site, plus store are stocked up.

    • You can’t compare it to the Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus don’t have a QWERTY keyboard.

  3. @shiko – this is for those beloved blackberry users that “NEED” a full qwerty physical keyboard.
    @josh – Best slider Ive used was my previous 9800 Torch, never had a problem at all with the slider and jumped on board to the GS2 LTE.

  4. FINALLY. Since Rogers Gave the Xperia Pro to Fido, I can’t wait to grab this device and upgrade my x10.

  5. In the press release, they are mentioning a 1.0Ghz dual-core, not a 1.2Ghz.

  6. My store already has the dummy model so we should be getting it soon. Not a fan of slides but it’s actually not too thick or clunky at all.

  7. I have the Desire Z right now, so this might be my next phone. A physical keyboard to me is super important.

    • How is that Rogers fault? Please don’t blame your ignorance and bad decisions on them…

  9. Thanks for mentioning that there is no word on ICS yet – very pertinent info.

    And it makes me wonder – does it come with an unlocked bootloader? I read somewhere the Galaxy S II series is well supported by Cyanogenmod, and I wonder if that extends to this phone.

  10. So on with the hopes of Exynos SoC with Mali-400 graphics. This will be exactly the same phone as AT&T’s Glide recently announced. 1Ghz Tegra2 – not necessarily bad, but definitely worse than its Galaxy S2 cousins. Screen too.. I wish the phone was SGS2 with a keyboard. And keyboard could have been 5 row too.

  14. It is disappointing if this isn’t the “Tegra 2 3D”. The standard Tegra 2 is old and has terrible video codec support.

    • it can work on telus but only if you pay for an unlock code and unlock it so it isn’t tied to rogers. if you aren’t attached to the actual keyboard look at the S2X from telus or the HTC amaze. both really nice phones

  18. Same, I think this is way better and overall more practical then the Huge a*s Galaxy Nexus.

    I would actually buy this if it worked on Mobi-Wind.

    4” screens is the perfect size.

  19. Pretty sloppy report. Actual specs are:
    1.3 Megapixel Front Facing Camera not 1.2
    720p Video recording, not 1080p
    1.0GHz Dual-Core processor, not 1.2GHz
