Samsung has announced a new Android smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy Pro, and while we’ve grown used to seeing the company’s near-endless variants on the Galaxy S family, the Pro dips a toe in as a QWERTY candybar. Already confirmed as headed to UK carrier Three “soon”, the Galaxy Pro has a 2.8-inch touchscreen above a physical keyboard, along with a 3-megapixel camera.

There’s also WiFi and an 800MHz processor running Android 2.2 Froyo. Samsung’s TouchWiz interface – seemingly modified to suit the landscape orientation screen – and Social Hub Premium are loaded.
No word on pricing at this stage, but we’re assuming – given the CPU and relatively low resolution camera – that the Galaxy Pro will be a reasonably affordable device. If it’s a hit in Europe, we’re also guessing Samsung will look to bring the Galaxy Pro to the North American market.
