Buoyed by orders from clients in the US and Japan, Arima Communications is expected to ship six million smartphones in 2012, according to an industry estimate.

Company chairman Stephen Lee stated recently that Arima is transitioning into a smartphone ODM with smartphone models currently accounting for over 60% of total shipments, and 70% of total revenues.

Arima has landed orders for two 4G/LTE smartphones as well as some 3.5G models for the entry-level to mid-range segment, and all of those models will help drive up shipments and revenues in 2012, Lee revealed.

Industry sources indicated that Arima has secured smartphone orders from a number of vendors, including Motorola Mobility, NEC Casio Mobile Communications and Sony Mobile Communications. Arima has begun shipping smartphones to Motorola and NEC and will start volume production for Sony Mobile by the end of 2012, said the sources.

Shipments of smartphones and feature phones to Motorola are likely to account for over 70% of Arima's total handset shipments in 2012, compared to 51% in 2011, revealed the sources.
