14 DAY TRIAL // Leaked two weeks ago, the mysterious Samsung Galaxy Q seems to be en route to Rogers, along with Sony Ericsson's Xperia mini pro smartphone.
Although both devices are expected to be launched at Fido, it appears that Rogers picked the Android smartphones, as well.
According to a recent internal document, Samsung Galaxy Q and Xperia mini pro will both be available at Rogers for the same price, $49.99 with a new two-year agreement.
However, the suggested retail price for the Galaxy Q is $249.99 without contract, whereas the Xperia mini pro can be purchased for $274.99 off-contract.
Other price options for the duo are $149.99 with a new one-year agreement and $99.99 with a new two-year plan.
Rogers is currently preparing to release LG's first 3D smartphone, the Optimus 3D, which is expected to hit shelves in the next few days.
Furthermore, it looks like the upcoming Galaxy Q will be one of the first devices to be included in the “Smartphone Lite” category, which is about to make its debut at Rogers.
Even though details about the phone's specs sheet are a bit scarce, rumors say that the Galaxy Q comes with a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen and will be aimed at Android fans that use their phones as typing machines.
In addition, Galaxy Q features a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and is should be powered by Google's Android 2.2 (Froyo), but the latter has yet to be confirmed.
The second smartphone that should make its way onto Rogers' portfolio, the Sony Ericsson Xperia pro features the same slider form factor and comes with a full QWERTY keyboard.
The handset will be delivered with Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board, as well as Timescape UI on top.
Equipped with a single core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1GHz, Xperia pro features a 3.7-inch LED-backlit LCD capacitive touchscreen based on Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine.
