Samsung has been paying Microsoft $1 billion a year in royalties to use its technology in Samsung’s Android smartphones and tablets.

Microsoft offered to reduce Samsung’s payments if it developed Windows tablets and phones alongside its Android products.

Microsoft has maintained for years that Android infringes its patents.

Op sef, what is wrong with you?

First, microsoft does not own android, they have their own OS which is Windows.

Then Google owns Android.
And no OEM pays to make android phones.


You had to open a thread, don't you?

Android technologies, such as methods for
