Samsung entered the electronics industry in 1969; it first produced black-and-white televisions which helped to establish it as a major brand, not only in Korea, but overseas as well. The decades that followed were marked with rapid expansion. Samsung came out with a range of products including refrigerators, computers, washing machines, microwave ovens and fax machines that helped the company in securing a position in the global market.
Their mobile phone business began to invest heavily in research and development throughout the 1980s. The 2000s were a game changer for Samsung. Samsung’s Galaxy smartphone series hit the market. Soon, the series became the company’s most-praised product and frequently topped the annual lists of the best-selling smartphones in the world. The Galaxy series expanded into tablets in 2010.
