HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia (NOK1V.HE) has reached high volumes in single-chip mobile phone sales, the companys head was quoted in a newspaper as saying on Friday.

Single-chip technology is used to make ultra-low-cost phones, aimed at developing markets.

"We now have several single-chip phones in the market. It is one of the key factors in our cost competitiveness in cheaper phones," Nokia Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo told Finnish daily Helsingin Sanomat.

"We are already talking about volumes of tens of millions."

In May, chipmaker Infineon (IFXGn.DE) said a project to supply Nokia with single chips for its ultra-low-cost phones had been delayed.

But Nokia has said its development of the phones is on target, as it has multiple suppliers for the project, including Texas Instruments (TXN.N).
