A Preview of the Samsung Galaxy M Pro
The Samsung Galaxy M Pro is the debut member of Samsung's "Magical" line-up, confirming it as a high-performance smartphone at an 'economic price point'.
As its name suggests, the Galaxy Pro is a business-focussed smartphone. It packs a portrait QWERTY keypad within its svelte 9.97mm thick body, paired alongside a BlackBerry-style trackpad. Its finger-friendly keys are coupled with a bunch of pre-installed productivity apps, including Exchange Active Sync, Sybase Afaria, CISCO Mobile and CISCO WebEx.
Also aimed at social networkers, the phone comes equipped with Samsung's Social Hub app - aggregating updates from Facebook, Twitter and email accounts. There's also a built-in Instant Messenger, offering BBM-style messaging.
We can also expect the Samsung Galaxy M Pro to come equipped with a rear-facing camera, a built-in radio with FM radio, microSD memory expansion, and HSDPA and WiFi connectivity.
The handset's release date and pricing is still to be confirmed.
A full review will be published here once the phone has been released.
