The first Samsung Android phone will launch this year, the company has admitted, promising a touchscreen handset with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a full-blown Google phone.
We’d heard rumours a Samsung Android phone was coming, but now it’s official. In a statement, Samsung said to Newsoxy: “We are accelerating the development process for Google phone in order to meet the specific need of local carriers,” clarifying that the handset would go on sale through T-Mobile and Sprint.
Of course, T-Mobile already sells the world’s first Android phone, the T-Mobile G1. But the addition of a brand-name handset to its Android arsenal wouldn’t be a bad thing.
The Samsung Android phone is expected to come packing all the standard Google apps, including Gmail, Google Maps, Google Talk and, of course, Google search.
