Samsung is one of the top 10 electronics manufacturers in the world. Founded in 1969, Samsung Electronics makes a number of products in a variety of electronics lines. Founded in Daegu, Korea, Samsung is one of the top 20 companies in the world, and has overtaken Sony as one of the world's most valuable brands. Samsung, meaning "three stars" (or "tristar") in Korean, has five major electronics lines: digital and home appliances, digital media, LCD, semiconductors, and wireless phones.

A Samsung phone can be used with several different service providers, including Cingular, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon. Samsung's phones range from basic starter phones to elaborate next-generation phones. The price range of each Samsung phone varies accordingly.

Samsung first starting manufacturing cell phones in 1997, about the time that the cell phone boom was in full swing. It was, admittedly, a bit of risk, with several cell phone manufacturers already well-established. What Samsung had going for it was strong name recognition, even if it wasn't for making cell phones. Samsung, therefore, had to make its phones to compete with if not exceed the existing phones on the market.

Samsung has exhibited steady growth in the industry, climbing to number two in terms of cell phone sales. One of Samsung's goals is to forge lasting relationships with its customers. Towards that end, Samsung won a Customer Loyalty Award in 2004 for the third consecutive year, awarded by Brand Keys, Inc., a world leader in customer loyalty metrics. A Samsung phone is a solid, if not flashy, investment.
