14 DAY TRIAL // Before the end of this year, South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics will bring to the market smartphones running under Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 operating system.
The company has been long rumored to plan the launch of such devices, and confirmation has already emerged, it seems. Samsung Taiwan let it slip that the company will deliver Windows Phone 8 Apollo-powered phones in the second half of the year, ePrice notes.
The smartphones are expected to become available sometime in October at the earliest, the same month when Microsoft launches the platform.
For the time being, however, no specific details on the handsets have emerged, nor on the upcoming mobile operating system.
Rumor has it that Samsung is set to dispatch other Windows Phone devices as well in the near future, including the LTE-capable Mandel SGH-i667, which will run under Tango.
