"Samsung opened a new smart mobile device category back in 2011 with the introduction of the first Note. Since then, smartphones with an expanded screen have emerged as key trend. As the leader in this category, it's fair to say that Samsung aims to satisfy our customers with improved specifications," said a Samsung executive.
