Samsung introduces updated GALAXY Smartphone naming strategy

We have so many names to remember these days, don’t we? We’re not just talking about friends and colleagues- that’s the easy part- we mean remembering usernames for different websites, passwords, website addresses, and names of all the different tech gadgets we use! Well Samsung Electronics has just announced the launch of a new naming strategy for its GALAXY range of Smartphones, coupled with four new additions to the GALAXY smartphone series—the GALAXY M Pro, GALAXY W, GALAXY Y and GALAXY Y Pro, all of which run on the powerful Android 2.3 Gingerbread mobile OS. Read on to find out the logic behind our naming strategy and so you can stay on top of all the different possibilities.

“As Samsung pushes forward in innovating and providing our consumers with an experience uniquely tailored to their needs, we have introduced steps to ensure our products are now even easier to identify,”

– JK Shin, President of Samsung’s Mobile Communications Business

New ways to identify your GALAXY Smartphones

Samsung’s new and simplified system of naming its smart phones uses five classes identified by a single alphabetical letter. This letter will represent a category to which the smartphone belongs (and will indicate the level of sophistication of the phone too!). Here are the categories:

•  “S” (Super Smart) – these devices are at the very pinnacle of Samsung’s mobile portfolio-the “best in the class.”This class will only be used on flagship devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S, the award-winning smartphone that has already sold 10 million units throughout the world.

•  “R” (Royal / Refined) – these are the premium category models, a combination of power, performance and productivity for the individual who wants to be defined by the technology they carry.

•  “W” (Wonder) – these are the high quality, strategic models, perfect for those seeking a balance between style and performance.

•  “M” (Magical) – Can you guess what the magic is? High-performance models at anlower cost.

•  “Y” (Young) – These are entry models or strategic models for emerging markets or a younger audience more sensitive to price.

Devices will then be further designated by an additional “class indicator” which will identify specific functionality:

•  “Pro” – This indicates that the device includes a QWERTY keyboard for texting and emails and increased productivity for professionals.

•  “Plus” – This indicates that the device is an upgrade from an existing model.

•  “LTE” – This indicates that the device is designed to utilize LTE (Long-Term Evolution) connectivity standards, a 4G standard to provide increased mobile network capacity and speed.

Successors to original models will be designated with an appropriate roman numeral, such as the Galaxy S II: Samsung’s ultra-premium flagship Android smartphone which has reached global sales of 5 million units in just 85 days.

Alright-we know you’re savvy and already know about the Galaxy S. Let’s take a look at some of our other phones in the Galaxy Suite.
