Samsung’s naming scheme is getting more confusing with the day. The recently announced Galaxy Mini S5570 (which BTW was unveiled alongside the Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Gio and Galaxy Fit) will be offered in India as the Galaxy Pop — and we know LG makes Pop GD510.
I really, really don’t understand this. I can’t imagine that “Galaxy mini” means anything wrong in any language, but what do I know.
Anyway, India-based online retailer Flipkart allows interested folks to pre-order the Galaxy Pop / Mini for 8,999 INR, which is about $198. That money buys you an entry-level Android smartphone with a QVGA touchscreen, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, microSD memory card slot and other “standard for Android” goodies.
Aside from India, the Galaxy Mini will also be launched in Europe and China, most likely starting this month. We’ve no doubts it will sell like hot cupcakes in all places where it is offered for free on a not-that-expensive contract.
