Samsung Electronics Co. said it will start selling its Galaxy Tab tablet computer, an Apple Inc. iPad challenger, in Europe in October.

Speaking at a consumer electronics conference in Berlin, WP Hong, Samsung’s head of global planning, said the company will bring more tablet models to market next year. The pricing of the tablet computer will be determined by phone operators, the company said.

Samsung said the company is in talks with major phone operators in the U.S. about starting sales of the computers there. It said the timing of sales in the U.S. will be decided in coordination with the operators.

Global demand for tablet computers is greater than analysts’ estimates, said J.K. Shin, the head of the company’s mobile-communication division.
