We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Handset designs",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Multimedia system suits low-cost handsets from
NXP Semiconductors, which we summarised at the time by saying "NXP's solution allows handset OEMs/ODMs to deliver rich, multimedia content to entry-level mobile phone users".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release NOR Flash is ready for Chinese handset designs from
Spansion: "Prequalification of Flash memory will enable manufacturers to get cost-effective, high-performance phones to market faster in China and other high-growth regions".
In June 2007, we covered the news from OmniVision
concerning its OV3640
- take a look at Sensor slots in to upgrade handset imaging
which says: "Fully integrated 3Mpixel CameraChip sensor in a quarter-inch format drops in to upgrade existing 2Mpixel handset designs".
Take a look also at the news release from Peregrine Semiconductor, RF switches offer maximum versatility,
as well as Detector cuts cellular calibration costs from Maxim Integrated Products,
and Chipset puts TV on mobiles from NXP Semiconductors.
