EVOLUTION OF SAMSUNG MOBILES
From its inception as a small export business in Taegu, Korea, Samsung has grown to
become one of the world‘s leading electronics companies, specialising in digital appliances
and media, semiconductors, memory, and system integration. Today Samsung's innovative
and top quality products and processes are world recognised. This timeline captures the major
milestones in Samsung's history, showing how the company expanded its product lines, grew
its revenue and market share, and has followed its mission of making life better for
consumers around the world.
Although its line of sparkling smart phones seems fresh and new, Samsung Mobile
has been around since 1983. Samsung Mobile's parent company, Samsung Electronics, was
founded in 1969. Once known for its televisions and other home appliances, Samsung
recently eclipsed heavyweights Sony Ericsson and Motorola as one of the biggest cell phone
manufacturers in the world.
Samsung Mobile's first ever offering was a car phone it introduced in 1986. Samsung
cell phones found its way to consumers for the first time in 1996, when they partnered with
Sprint of USA on a line of sleek and compact phones. A few short years later, South America
and Japan enjoyed the high-end design of Samsung Mobile phones. Quickly in 2009,
Samsung Mobile's global market share stood at more than 17 percent, second only to Nokia.
In the 3rd quarter of 2008, for the first time in its history, Samsung Mobile shipped more than
50 million handsets in a quarter--despite a global recession. The Samsung i7500, known
as Samsung Galaxy in some countries, is the first mobile phone manufactured
by Samsung that uses the open source Android operating system. It was announced on 27
April 2009.

1. EVOLUTION OF SAMSUNG GALAXY.
The Samsung GT-i7500, also named
as Samsung Galaxy in some countries, was
the first mobile phone manufactured
by Samsung that used the open
source Android Operating system. It was
announced on 27 April 2009. It was
succeeded by the Samsung i5700.
The S series:
The Samsung Galaxy S is
an Android Smartphone that was
announced by Samsung in March
2010. As of January 2011,
Samsung had sold 10 million
Galaxy S phones globally. The
Galaxy S was named the European
Smartphone of the Year at the
European (EISA) Awards 2010–
2011. Samsung Galaxy S was
succeeded by Samsung Galaxy S
II. In October 2011, Samsung
announced that it had sold 30
million Galaxy S and Galaxy S II phones globally.
6. 6 | P a g e
The Samsung Galaxy 3, also known as
the Samsung Galaxy Apollo (Galaxy
Mini in Italy), is
a Smartphone manufactured by Samsung
that runs on open sour Android operating
system. Announced and released
by Samsung in July 2010, the Galaxy 3
succeeds the Galaxy Spica. Being a
budget, mid-range Smartphone that was
designed for the mass market, the Galaxy
3 had several compromises over the
Galaxy S in terms of hardware. The
Galaxy S 2 was released worlwide
starting from May 2011, by more than
140 vendors in some 120 countries.
The Galaxy Tablet:
The Samsung Galaxy mobile generally
evolved into TABLETS. The Samsung Galaxy
Tab is an Android-based tablet
computer produced by Samsung introduced on 2
September 2010 at the IFA in Berlin.
The Galaxy Tab has a 7-inch
(180 mm) TFT-LCD touch-screen, Wi-
Fi capability, a 1.0 GHz ARM Cortex-
A8 Samsung Exynos 3110 (code-named
"Hummingbird") processor, the Swype input
system, a 3.2 MP rear-facing camera and a 1.3
MP front-facing camera for video calls.
7. 7 | P a g e
Samsung Galaxy Tab gave way
to the Samsung Galaxy Note.
The Samsung Galaxy Note is
an Android Smartphone/tablet
computer hybrid, introduced in October
2011 and noted for its 5.3-inch screen
size — between that of conventional
smart phones, and larger tablets — and
its included stylus.

INITIAL POSITIONING AND SUBSEQUENT REPOSITIONING OF
SAMSUNG GALAXY
Positioning –
Positioning is the act of designing the company‘s offerings and image to occupy a
distinctive place in the minds of the target market.
The idea used by Samsung Galaxy was to try something new altogether. It came up
with certain features which were not available in the market in any smart-phone, at least no
other player operating in the Android domain. The features were,
1. AMOLED screen technology.
2. Dual core processor.
3. Inbuilt memory capacity of 8GB.
4. Expandable memory capacity of 32GB.
5. A 5 megapixel camera.
The AMOLED screen technology – AMOLED is Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting
Diode. The display technology is used in mobiles and also on televisions. Organic LED
describes a specific type of thin-film technology which contains organic compounds that
emits light upon electrical activation that has been deposited on the Thin Flim Transistor.
This unique technology was first used by Samsung to position the Galaxy in the existing
mobile domain.
Dual core processor – Samsung GT-i9100 or the Galaxy SII was the first ever mobile to use
Dual core processor.
Inbuilt memory 8 GB – Samsung Galaxy was the first mobile on Android platform to have an
inbuilt memory of 8 GB.
9. 9 | P a g e
Expandable memory of 32 GB – The Samsung Galaxy mobiles has an option of expanding
its memory capacity up to 32 GB. This was a major upgrade from the existing devices at that
point of time.
The 5 Megapixel Camera – The 5 megapixel camera was another feature which came
packed with the Android OS for the first time.
Repositioning:-
1. Galaxy tab launched to compete with Apple‘s iPAD. The iPad was an iconic product
introduced into the domain. It attracted huge response from the market. Revenue
figures topped the expectations. It catered to an entire a new segment. It was having
the laptop in ones hand. Samsung did not stay away in the game. In a span of 5
months it came with its own version of the iPad called the tablet.
2. The high price segment which Galaxy existed did fairly well. Samsung was quite
successful in the galaxy segment. The low price segment in Android domain was
being slowly captured by local players in developing countries (e.g.Micromax in
India). Samsung Galaxy Y and Galaxy Pro Duos (Dual Sim) were launched to
tackle the competition in the low range segment. It used the popularity of the
successful Galaxy model to enter the low cost segment.
3. Galaxy Note: This was again a unique offering from Samsung. The Note combined
features of the mobile and the tablet. The size was smaller than the tablet (which came
as a complaint from quite a few users), but was complete with the features.

is only second to Nokia in India
in terms of revenues.
On global front it is only 7%
short of Nokia. Nokia had been
the undisputed leader in the
mobile market till just a few years
back.
Samsung‘s aggressive marketing
strategies along with an
extraordinary research and
development team may soon take
the brand to be the leader in the
industry.

ADVERTISING STRATEGY FOLLOWED BY SAMSUNG
GALAXY
In the world of tough competition innovation and up-gradation is the mantra of
survival for any electronics product. Innovation backed with the correct advertising
strategies directs a product to the successful plane. Brand awareness coerces the customer
into buying the product.
Almost all products have a number of rival products competing with former. In order
to make ones position safe a brand needs slogans, logos and distinctive packaging. All
these involve marketing strategies which involves
careful scanning of the internal and external
environment that is affecting the market.
The Samsung Galaxy Y advertisement – Punch line
reads „DESH SMART BAN RAHA HAI, AAP KAB
BANONGE, CHANGE TO SMART‟. Samsung
wanted to convey the notion if you are a Samsung
Galaxy user than you are by default smarter than the
rest. Different advertisements have been used at
different point of times highlighting the features. There
is an inbuilt program in the Samsung Galaxy mobiles
that shows the image of a cat and the cat repeats
whatever one says. This humorous feature is also
depicted in an advertisement.
Samsung tied up with popular footballer ‗DAVID BECHKAM‘ for the promotion of
the Samsung galaxy note and Samsung Galaxy SIII. In India upcoming Bollywood
actress Nargis Fakhri (heartthrob of millions) has been used for the promotion of
Samsung galaxy SIII.
Samsung is the official sponsor of the Chelsea FC
and it is also the official sponsor of the London 2012
Olympics and Samsung Galaxy SIII is the official
wireless device the world largest sporting event.
12. 12 | P a g e
SALES PROMOTION
The short term incentive scheme for encouragement of trial or purchase of a product or
service refers to Sales promotion. Advertisement offers a reason to buy whereas sales
promotion offers an incentive to buy.
Samsung mobile worked on various schemes to increase its sales and hence there was
a direct effect on Galaxy.
Different methods used by Samsung:
1. Samples - Samsung Mobiles invited prospective customers to try the product for free.

was entitled to get a 50 $ cash back card on purchase of galaxy note.
4. Accessories – Samsung galaxy tab gave away freebies like
Bluetooth headset, leather case diary, 2GB SD card to its customers.
13. 13 | P a g e
SEGMENTATION
Segmentation is partitioning the product with respect to its unique attributes.
Initially Samsung Galaxy targeted users who wanted to use the Android operating system at a
fairly high cost. But with the emerging Mobile brands in the market like Micromax and a few
others, it targeted consumers with every kind of purchasing power.
Samsung galaxy was segmented with respect to its price range.

15. 15 | P a g e
ANALYSIS OF PRODUCT AND GENERIC COMPETITION
Analysis of a product is necessary for up-gradation of a product and work on
the flaws of the products or the product development mechanisms. SWOT analysis is
a very powerful tool in analysing a product. The SWOT analysis of Samsung Galaxy
is performed here.
S – STRENGTHS
i. Powerful specifications, great features.
ii. Widely accepted Operating System
iii. Devices available at different price points.
iv. Excellent advertising and branding.
W – WEAKNESS
i. Limited market share in the ever-expanding electronic segment.
ii. Lacks robustness and user friendliness of Nokia, and looses out to
camera and music quality to Sony Ericsson.
O – OPPORTUNITIES
i. Wide range of mobile devices that can address a large market.
ii. Almost accepted by masses as the prime Android OS featured device
manufacturer.
iii. Better brand recall in suburban markets.
iv. Developed partnerships with regional organizations.
T- THREATS
i. Challenge to be faced by low cost mobile manufacturer in price.
ii. Threat on design and build quality by high end mobile manufacturers.
16. 16 | P a g e
Generic competition –
Samsung Galaxy faces generic competition from the wide variety of sectors namely
the Laptops, Notebooks, Net-books etc. Today technology is developing at a phenomenal
pace. Laptops are being increasingly used for voice communications and video conferencing.
The high speed and high storage capacity of laptops are a serious competition to the existing
Samsung galaxy mobiles.
The camera inbuilt in Samsung Galaxy mobiles is in between 2 - 8 Megapixels and so
in this sphere it competes with the digital cameras and the camcorders as the picture quality
of digital camera and camcorders will be better in consideration to Samsung Galaxy.
The audio feature in Samsung Galaxy is far from the I-POD standard The IPod plays
a dominant role in terms of market share.
The basic work of a mobile is to communicate and for that case the generic
competitor of Samsung Galaxy can be Landline phones.
17. 17 | P a g e
STRATEGIES ADOPTED TO TACKLE COMPETITION OR
PRIME MARKET EXPANSION
Price – Galaxy has the Y series which is offered for a very low price than the completion
e.g. HTC, LG, Sony, and Motorola. Due to the cost effectiveness Samsung has been able to
cut down on prices, which other major players have not been able to achieve. Even the
Galaxy Tab brought about turmoil in the tablet industry when it was launched and the
iPad suffered a major setback in the process.
Distribution – The market penetration of Galaxy is much more than any other brand. Brands
like Micromax that brought about a revolution with its low price android phones could not
compete because of the well established distribution network of Samsung.
Innovations – Galaxy keeps innovating itself. It strives to satisfy almost all the features a
consumer can ask for in a mobile device. It boasts of a series of devices comprising features
like the full touch screen, normal keypad, QWERTY keypad and even a mixture of touch as
well as keypads. It has kept on improvising on almost all its features per the market demand.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Samsung Hope for Children – It was an
initiative designed to help under-privileged children
through e-learning centres. These e learning centres
located in different parts of the country impart computer
literacy to underprivileged youth and ensure placements
as well.
Samsung has close tie-ups with HK
RED CROSS and ‗HEAVEN OF HOPE CHARITY
ASSOCIATION‘, where the company
contributes an annual sum for underprivileged children. It has been winning the Caring
company Award in Korea for seven consecutive years.
18. 18 | P a g e
DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY FOLLOWED BY SAMSUNG GALAXY
Distribution Channel is a way of selling a company's product either directly or via
distributors; "possible distribution channels are wholesalers or small retailers or retail chains
or direct mailers or own stores".
Franchisees – Samsung Electronics franchised a number of small outlets (Mobile Stores).
All the outlets which are under the franchiser should follow certain set guidelines of the
franchiser‘s company. This would include converting a normal outlet into Samsung
Electronics outlet. But the franchiser will help in visual merchandising and loan for deposits
which are refundable.
Shopping Malls – Many shopping malls have a
separate mobile phones section. Samsung
targeted these malls as they are the right place for
promotion and sales of stylish variants of
Samsung Galaxy.
Mobile Phone Outlets – Samsung Galaxy mobiles are also available in the different mobile
stores present in different parts of India. The store keepers are paid commission for
demonstrating the various uses of the Galaxy mobiles to the customers and vouch for the
quality of the products.
Samsung launched its first “Samsung Brand Store” in New Delhi. The store is the first of
its kind in the country. One floor is dedicated to Samsung‘s entire smart phones range of
collection including tablets and accessories.
.
E-business – Samsung Galaxy is also available in E-business sites like Flipkart, Home
Shop18. These sites often offer discounts to encourage the sales of the Samsung Galaxy
mobiles.
