FUJITSU is rumored to be entering the market of smart phones and tablet computers in Europe this year.
Derived from the Japanese company will use the Android operating system and Windows Phone on multiple devices. Fujitsu is not a new player in the mobile phone market, the company has been making and selling some products in their own country.
Fujitsu confirmed that they will soon be holding some of the operators on the product launch later in Europe. But there is no any information whether Fujitsu will attend the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Spain late February.
Fujitsu's expansion plans due to several Asian companies, like Samsung, HTC, Sony and Panasonic have made the move. Smart phone penetration in Europe, berdarkan report from Mobile Vision, an average of 51% or 12% below the United States.
Observers of Japanese technology, Dr. Serkan Toto, argued that all Japanese handset makers are planning to go international. Markets in Japan were too small, so that is why Fujitsu should expand its market.
But Toto was pessimistic about Fujitsu. He said,'' It is very difficult for Fujitsu to enter Europe, because it does not have a strong economy like Samsung. The company only makes 10 percent of handsets per year. After all Fujitsu does not have a phone model is interesting, in terms of technique and design. Fujitsu will lose against its competitors.''
Financial Times reported just a phone made by Fujitsu will be equipped with fingerprint, and near field communications, and 4G connectivity.
