Samsung Electronics will launch Google Phone in Q2
Samsung Electronics will release its first Google phone in the second quarter of the next year in North America.
The launch of Google phone by Samsung is regarded as a signal of its plan for increasing the shares in the smart phone market by releasing handsets in various operating systems.
Also, as Samsung joins the Android group led by Google, the competition among the mobile platforms like Nokia’s Symbian, MS Windows Mobile, LiMo and Apple’s Mac OS X will become fierce.
On December 18, industry insiders said that Samsung Electronics is currently in the development process of its new Google phone to release out in the second quarter of the next year via Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA in North America.
To this end, it has added 30 experts in Linux and Java to the task force team of its information and communications division. Therefore, the team has up to 80 developers.
As Sprint speeds up the process for the launch of Google phone, it is trying to accelerate the development process.
It has organized a task force team a year ago to develop a Google phone.
The company is predicted to select a full touch screen phone for a form factor of its Google phone, the one that it adapted to Omnia and Instinct.
The Google phone will feature the Google Map based location information service, messenger G-Talk, the G-mail application and Google Search.
An official of Samsung Electronics said, “We are accelerating the development process for Google phone in order to meet the specific need of local carriers.
We will be able to release Google phone in the second quarter of the next year in the US market.”
Meanwhile, with the launch of Google phone by Samsung Electronics, the competition for the hegemony in the smart phone market as well as the mobile OS market is likely to become fierce.
Currently, in the smart phone OS market, the traditional group like Symbian and Windows Mobile is losing its shares while Apple with its Mac OS X and Android are emerging.
If Samsung shows impressive performances in the sales of Google phone with its competitiveness in design and product quality, its competitors in the OS as well as the mobile phone manufacturing will quickly come up with responding measures.
Currently, HTC, a Taiwanese mobile phone maker, only released a Google phone, G1.
Its Google phone has been assessed to have lower competitiveness in design and quality.
That’s why Samsung’s full touch Google phone is drawing attention from the market.
