[The Chosun Ilbo, May 27 2008] Samsung Elec. Builds Phone with Infineon Chipset

In a bid to diversify its source of chipsets, a key component of mobile phones, Samsung Electronics has begun importing them from Germany's largest chip maker, Infineon Technologies.

Until recently, Samsung had imported all of its third-generation mobile phone chipsets from Qualcomm of the U.S., which owns the core CDMA technology. But in April the Korean company developed its first phone equipped with an Infineon chipset and began exporting it in early May.
