Today, Samsung released an Infographic that showcases the Evolution of communication technology starting from 1st Generation (1G) to the 4th Generation (4G LTE-A) smartphones.
The infographic first presents the Samsung SH-100, a bulky device that was launched way back in 1988 as Samsung’s very first mobile phone. It then takes us through the mid 1990s (with the Samsung SCH-100, the world’s first commercialized CDMA phone), and through the early 2000s (when the SCH-E100 was released as the world’s first 3G, 1X EV-DO handset).
Not long after that, HSDPA became available at about the same time with the rise of smartphones. Next was LTE, however, the world’s first LTE-capable handset wasn’t a smartphone: it was the Samsung SCH-R900, a featurephone with a WVGA touchscreen display and a sliding QWERTY keyboard. The Galaxy S II, Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4 LTE-A, and the Galaxy S5 Broadband LTE are also mentioned.
