Samsung said on Tuesday it has started buying chipsets,
a key part of handsets, from German chipmaker Infineon
in a move to reduce its reliance on Qualcomm.
Samsung, the world's No. 2 mobile handset maker, had
depended wholly on wireless technology firm Qualcomm,
which holds patents for code division multiple access
(CDMA) technology, for chipsets used in advanced
third-generation (3G) mobile phones.
The move should give Samsung a better position in price
negotiations with Qualcomm, and will likely have an
enormous effect on negotiations by other Korean mobile
phone makers who also source their chipsets from the
U.S. supplier. |
