Samsung's Galaxy Beam and Galaxy Ace 2 smartphones are based on ST-Ericsson's NovaThor ModAp platform.
"Today we can confirm that two more Samsung Galaxy Android-powered smartphones will be powered by NovaThor ModAp platforms,"said Marc Cetto,senior v-p of smartphone and tablet solutions for ST-Ericsson.
Previously the Samsung Galaxy S Advance was the first Samsung smartphone to use ST-Ericsson's U8500 platform.
"Thanks to the U8500's versatility and maturity,Samsung was able to bring other devices based on the same platform to market quickly,"said Cetto.
