E-mail Print PDF

The Financial Times reports Fujitsu plans to take on the European market with a "wide range" of smartphones and tablets using both Android and Windows platforms.

FujitsuThe Fujitsu mobile device launch will most probably take place at Mobile World Congress 2012, the FT continues.

The company is fairly successful in its home Japan, taking over around 20% of the Japanese mobile market. It has a number of unique (or at least interesting) offerings, including the super-slim Arrow ES 1S12F and the bizarre dual-booting (Windows and Symbian) F-07C.

The FT says Fujitsu handsets will be NFC- and LTE-enabled, and carry biometric security measures.

Fujitsu is not the only Japanese vendor looking to expand its borders-- both Panasonic and Sharp also have plans to enter the European mobile market.
