Compal Communications is one of the world’s major mobile device makers and Nokia’s ODM for the Nokia Lumia 800.
Compal saw its operation turn from the red into profitability by shipping 1.5 million handsets in the fourth quarter of 2011. As Nokia will launch Tango smartphones following Microsoft's unveiling at the 2012 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, during February 27-March 1, Compal expects its smartphone shipments to rise 20% in the second quarter, the company indicated.
According to Taiwan-based handset component makers, Compal will ship at least 9.6 million smartphones in 2012.
