SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced Samsung has launched three new GALAXY handsets for China Mobile powered by the Marvell® PXA920 processor family, an advanced, highly integrated 3G platform with TD-SCDMA and GSM/EDGE communication support designed for multimedia-centric handsets. Samsung's latest handsets - the GALAXY GT-S7508, GT-S6108 and GT-S6358 - are complemented by the recently announced Marvell-powered GALAXY GT-i8250, providing the China market with a vast selection of choices for a wide range of consumers.

"I am so proud that Samsung, a world leader in the mobile market, further expanded its top-selling GALAXY line of smartphones successfully in China leveraging Marvell's industry leading solutions as a key differentiator for more than 650 million of China Mobile's subscriber base," said Weili Dai, Co-Founder of Marvell. "Samsung has a long-withstanding track record and top-brand recognition for providing consumers with advanced, high performance, high quality and cost-effective smartphones, benefiting hundreds of millions of consumers. I am very glad that Samsung has selected Marvell as a strategic partner for the global mobile market to accelerate the new era of a 'Connected Lifestyle' for the global mass market."
With the PXA920 family's certification by China Mobile, stemming from Marvell's collaboration with the telecom provider in helping to develop the China 3G TD-SCDMA standard, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have confidence that devices leveraging Marvell's market-leading solutions are built on a proven technology platform that is already delivering high-performance, low-power devices to China Mobile's 650 million subscribers.
Samsung's three new smartphones also feature Marvell's Avastar® 88W8787 wireless chipset, which provides Bluetooth capabilities and Wi-Fi 802.11n connectivity, as well as Marvell's RF838, a 2G/3G dual-mode TD-SCDMA radio frequency transceiver.
