Microsoft demands Samsung to pay $ 15 for each sold smartphone

Samsung is trying to negotiate with Microsoft to reduce the amount of payment for Android smartphones, from 15 to 10 U.S. dollars / unit, because Android OS uses numerous Microsoft patents.

Samsung hopes to get a discount in exchange for strengthening the alliance between the two companies about Windows Phone software platform.

Samsung is the market leader in handsets running Android, is also the second largest mobile manufacturer in the world. In the second quarter of 2011 were sold, according to estimates, 19 million smartphones.

Specialist market analysts estimate that Samsung sales will exceed Nokia, taking first place in the world and displacing the Finnish company for the first time in 10 years.
