SEOUL (Yonhap) ¤Ñ Samsung Electronics, the world's third-largest mobile phone maker, said Sunday it will introduce the world's fastest mobile phone incorporated with high-downlink packet access (HSDPA) technology in Europe next week.
The phone, equipped with the MSM6280 chip from the U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm, enables users to download music or other multimedia contents at a speed of 3.6 megabits a second.

Approximately 10 MP3 files can be downloaded within one minute at that speed, according to the company. The phone was unveiled here in January.

Samsung Electronics is to participate in the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, from Monday to Thursday. GSM is a digital mobile telephone system used mostly in Europe.

The HSDPA phone introduced at the event, with big-name phone manufacturers Nokia and Motorola in attendance, will be officially launched in the European market by the second quarter of the year.

"Samsung Electronics will introduce cutting-edge telecommunications technology to the world through the event," said Lee Ki-tae, the president of the company's mobile phone division.
