Samsung Electronics, the world?s No. 2 maker of mobile phones, finally reacted to Apple?s claims on Friday that its Omnia II phone has reception problems similar to the iPhone 4?s.
But Samsung may be pulling its punches because it?s also a crucial supplier of Apple parts, including for iPhones.
According to media reports, Samsung?s U.S. branch released a statement Monday (U.S. time) saying that ?based on years of experience of designing high-quality phones, Samsung mobile phones employ an internal antenna design technology that optimizes reception quality for any type of handgrip use.?
The company added that ?it hasn?t received significant customer feedback on any signal reduction issue for the Omnia II.? Some major mobile phone makers blasted Apple following a press conference last week at which CEO Steve Jobs defended the iPhone 4?s antenna and reception problems by saying all smartphone manufacturers experience similar difficulties.
