With nearly 30 years in the mobile handset business, Samsung has no shortage of milestones, from its first device in 1988 to its recent transition to metal and curved smartphones. ZDNet takes a trip down memory lane.
Samsung’s first handset was the SH-100. Released in 1988, it was typical of an era led by Motorola, a time when mobile hansets were just becoming affordable but remained luxury items.
The SH-100 arrived one year after Nokia launched its first mobile, the Mobira Cityman — a phone that would have cost €4,500 in today’s money and in 1987 found its way into the hands of former Soviet Union president, Mikhail Gorbachev.
