ANADIGICS' High-Performance Dual-Band Power Amplifier Offers Superior Efficiency and Integration for the Galaxy Nexus from Samsung Available Through Verizon Wireless

ANADIGICS, Inc., a world leader in radio frequency (RF) solutions, recently announced that the Company is shipping production volumes of its AWC6323 dual-band High-Efficiency-at-Lower-Power (HELP3E) power amplifiers (PAs) to Samsung Electronics for the new Galaxy Nexus from Samsung. The Galaxy Nexus features a slim, curved case that contains a 4.65 inch high definition display, 5 megapixel camera, and 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. Additionally, the sleek Galaxy Nexus, available through Verizon Wireless, is the first smartphone to use the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

"The selection of ANADIGICS' dual-band power amplifier for the flagship Galaxy Nexus from Samsung demonstrates the strength of the relationship forged between ANADIGICS and Samsung," said Ron Michels, president and CEO of ANADIGICS. "Samsung Electronics remains at the forefront of the mobile digital lifestyle by continually innovating and evolving the smartphone to provide an unparalleled user experience. Our goal is to support Samsung through each successive generation of mobile connectivity."
