Major mobile phone makers including Apple, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Research In Motion, Samsung and Sony Ericsson have struck a deal with the European Commission to start selling phones with universal mobile phone chargers starting next year. Chipset makers, such as NEC, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments have also agreed to the deal. Under the agreement, manufacturers would start using micro-USB connections for phone chargers used for smartphones. Although the standardized chargers will be compatible only with European phones, industry analysts believe it is likely to become standard in other markets as well.
