[Phone Review]Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos, switch off your Blackberry here comes ultimate Android phone for you

Samsung is world’s leading mobile phone company having overtaken Nokia recently. If you are currently using Blackberry phone, I think it’s right time to switch to Android phone that will fit your lifestyle easily. A big plus is that you can use two sims on this phone!

 

I got my hand on this new Samsung Galaxy Y Pro duo and I’m really impressed with the ease of use and Android interface. Immediately I turned on the phone, I got all my data (Apps, Contacts etc)from my Galaxy S2 transferred to the new phone and whola! Ready to use.

 

The Keyboard is a full QWERTY interface and allows you to type like you are on your keyboard If you are comfortable with touch (like I am) you are fully taken care of I found it faster than trackpad for me!

Conclusion, I think this phone is a good deal for anyone willing to get a new phone. You get access to Google Market and you can download as many apps as you want. The price is affordable, under N30,000 (You can compare the price here.)that is a good price for a double SIM Android phone from a powerful brand in Samsung.
