Samsung Electronics said that its first phone based on Android operating system from Google will be available in major European countries in June.
The company said that 17,500 have your touch and operate networks based on HSDPA, the high-speed wireless technology popular in Europe. Samsung has not revealed specific plans to sell the phone in United States, where its smaller rival, Motorola is developing its own range based on Android, which settled at the market later this year.
Android integrates features such as Gmail and Google maps on your phone and includes a virtual store application software, which competes with the App Store that helped sales of the Apple iPhone.
The South Korean Samsung follows the Taiwanese HTC, which launched the first phone based on Android system last year. HTC has an exclusive agreement to sell its generation Android phone through Vodafone in four countries this spring.
Samsung said that its Android phone will also have a five-megapixel camera and a memory capacity of up to 40 gigabytes, including an external memory, as well as links to Internet based on Wi-Fi wireless high-speed short-range to often present in cafes and airports.
The company did not say how much the device cost.
