Driven by<\/span> the simple but profound goal of creating meaningful innovation, Samsung has pushed the limits of mobile technology and set the standard for what the smartphone can \u2013 and should \u2013 be. By advancing mobile technology, building groundbreaking form factors, and delivering creative solutions, the Galaxy series has helped millions accomplish more on the go.<\/p>\n

As the flagship series celebrates its 10th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary, we want to reflect on just how far we\u2019ve come in our journey of mobile innovation. It\u2019s the perfect opportunity to look ahead at what\u2019s in store for the upcoming decade and share how Samsung will continue to test boundaries.<\/p>\n

Laying the Foundation<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Samsung has never been one to shy away from big ideas. Long before the first smartphone, engineers in Suwon, South Korea were re-imagining every element of the mobile phone, setting in motion the trends that have shaped the mobile technology today.<\/p>\n

Right from the beginning, Samsung saw the potential of turning the mobile phone into a multi-functional device. The release of the TV phone in 1999 brought entertainment to the palm of our hands, while the built-in 10-megapixel camera on the Samsung B600 brought high-quality photography and the mobile phone together.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the desire to expand mobile capabilities led to creative solutions. Years before \u201csmartwatch\u201d would become a household term, innovators at Samsung developed the watch phone in 1999 to enhance productivity on-the-go.<\/p>\n

Improving user experience was also a core aspect of Samsung\u2019s innovation DNA in the early years. In 2002, Samsung launched the True Color Phone, introducing the world to the active matrix LCD display, and paving the way for innovations in mobile display technology that are synonymous with the Galaxy series.<\/p>\n
