Samsung would be willing to Microsoft for each unit sold phone to pay, but would not be more than 10 dollars per piece down want to lay down, reports Reuters, based on a Korean newspaper. The royalties that Samsung to Microsoft have to pay to give the Korean manufacturer the right to make use of a patentenportfolio where Android phones infringed on would make.

It would not be the first company to have such deal with Microsoft connect: earlier it became known that HTC is $ 5 per sold Android phone must pay. In addition, there were deals closed with four smaller companies, so that they mobile devices with Android can make without taking the risk to walk on an indictment of Microsoft.

It is thought that Microsoft by the patentendeals more on Android than their own mobile operating system Windows Phone delivers. If the company from Redmond a deal know to connect with Samsung, it is plausible that the income from Android increase substantially. The Korean manufacturer is one of the largest smartphonefabrikanten: model Galaxy S-sold Samsung worldwide more than 10 million units, while its successor, the Galaxy S II, within two months after the release 3 million times over the counter went.
