The world’s second-largest cellphone maker, Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), has decided to use Google’s (GOOG.O) Android as a key software platform for its smartphones alongside with its own new bada software, a company executive said.
“We are Prioritizing our Android platform. Android is very open and flexible, and there is a consumer demand for it,” YH Lee, head of marketing at Samsung Mobile, told Reuters in an interview on sidelines of the IFA consumer electronics fair.
Android is also powering Samsung’s first hit smartphone model, Galaxy S, which sold more than one million units in the United States alone in its first month of sales.
