Foxconn Electronics has filed a report today with the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) denying a Digitimes article that had claimed that Foxconn was taking orders for an Orange-branded Android phone.
The manufacturer also added that it has "no intention of competing directly with its clients."
Digitimes says that the Foxconn-Orange deal was done through a sales agent and despite the denial, the manufacturer is indeed developing Android handsets for Orange.
Adds DT: "By acting through arrangements with the sales agent, FIH is able to say it is not violating its policy of not competing directly with its clients, the sources pointed out."
