Need of product

It’s hard to remember a time when Samsung wasn’t a major feature of modern
life. The South Korean tech giants lead the way with so many products that
we rely on day in, day out but it hasn’t actually been all that long since
Samsung were the newbies in the market, up against the titans of Apple and
(ahem) Nokia. It’s been an impressive rise to the top of the Android market,
and with the upcoming release of the Samsung Galaxy S10, we thought it’d
be a good time for a little retrospective, with a history of Samsung.

SH-100 – the beginning.

Okay, technically not the beginning, the history of Samsung starts when they
were originally founded way back in 1938, and their electronics division’s been
on the go since 1969, but the SGH-100 has the honour of being their very first
mobile phone, released in Korea in 1988.
SGH-600 – Entering Europe.
So technically, the first Samsung phone to arrive in Europe was the SGH-200,
but since it and a few of its successors didn’t do that well in the market, it was
really the SGH-600 that can be credited with breaking into Europe in
September 1998. Designed to appeal to simple, clean design tastes, the
SGH-600 was marketed to “high-end” customers. The plan worked – it sold
well, the awards started rolling in and Samsung started to think about the next
big thing.
Samsung Galaxy – the next big thing.
First released in July 2009, the original Samsung Galaxy really put Samsung
at the forefront of people’s minds when it came to Android. Samsung have
been killing it in all corners and price ranges of the Android market from the
Galaxy S series of phones, through to the Note series of tablets and phablets.

Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus: Samsung’s best phones

to date
Their sleek, refined Infinity displays, coupled with dual-stereo surround sound
speakers, with Dolby Atmos surround sound made for the most immersive
viewing experience yet.
When it came to the camera, Samsung upped their game with the Galaxy
S9 and S9 Plus. Both use a dual-aperture lens which works like the human
eye, adjusting depending on the amount of light coming in. That means you
get amazing shots no matter if you’re in bright daylight or low light.

And the new Infinity display and spectacular new range of colours made the
S9 and S9 Plus gorgeous to look at too.

What’s next?
We loved last year’s S9 and S9 Plus and with this year’s release just around
the corner, we were excited to find out what Samsung had in store for us this
year. And we weren’t disappointed. They unveiled the next generation of
Galaxy phones, the Galaxy S10, S10+, S10e and the Galaxy Fold – the
ground-breaking foldable phone. If you want the lowdown on these gorgeous,
futuristic new phones you can find everything you need to know here: Meet
the new Samsung Galaxy S10 and S10+.
