Washington: After the success of Windows Phone from Nokia, now Microsoft is eyeing to introduce new Windows Phone under Samsung’s flag.
According to Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin, Microsoft has wafted $1 billion under the nose of Samsung if the Korean firm agrees to support Windows Phone.
Murtazin tweeted, “Another “good” news from Microsoft negotiate with Samsung and offer 1 billion support if vendor will produce Windows Phone devices.”
Soon after the launch of Windows Phone 8 we saw devices from Samsung, HTC and Huawei all come to the fore, the HTC 8X was even the signature device for the new operating system, but these firms have gone awfully quiet since.
Nokia has produced some decent handsets take a look at the Lumia 520, Lumia 925 and Lumia 1020 none have managed to hit the heights of their Android and iOS rivals and the platform really needs a hero device.
The Samsung Ativ S was the only Windows Phone 8 device to make it out of the Korean firm, but with the global success of the Android Galaxy brand it’s no surprise Microsoft wants in on the action.
There’s been no mention from either Samsung or Microsoft about this supposed offer, so we’re taking it with a decent dosage of salt for now, but we’ll be keeping our ears to the ground for any further developments.
