Samsung is reportedly looking to build more Windows Phones provided Microsoft settles Legal battle

ATIV SE

Samsung would be well willing to produce more Windows Phones in the future provided Microsoft settles the royalties legal battle on android products. According to a source, Samsung has been least interested in considering the Windows Phone platform to launch more hardware.

 An official involved with the matter between Microsoft and Samsung was quoted in the Korea Times report:
"Samsung has run pilot programs on the stability of Windows 8.1 software on devices. It is interested in promoting Windows mobiles. If the companies settle their litigation, then Samsung will manufacture handsets powered by the Microsoft-developed mobile platform. The timing could be the third quarter of this year at the earliest."

 Microsoft and Samsung seems to remain locked in a legal entanglement , which led the Software giant as a Direct Competitor after the acquisition of Nokia's Mobile business.
