Here's what "S" means in the names of Samsung Galaxy S phones

Here's what "S" means in the names of Samsung Galaxy S phones

Samsung has a lot of lines on its phones, but the most famous is certainly the Galaxy "S" line. Why the letter "S"? What does that mean?

Of course, the letter "S" was not accidentally assigned to this phone line, all its "whys" have their "whys".

Namely, back in 2011, Samsung announced its scheme for naming future phones. I sorted the list by the "strength" of the devices in that category.

  • "S" (Super Smart): this label was reserved for flagship devices, the best of the best.
  • "R" (Royal / Refined): devices that had premium performance and productivity options.
  • "W" (Wonder): high-quality devices combined with style. For those who want to express their style and have a high-performance device.
  • "M" (Magical): mid-range devices - good performance for an affordable price.
  • "Y" (Young): strategic phones that aimed to attract as many users as possible to the Samsung world with affordable prices.

So, "S" means "Super Smart". It may sound "worn out" today, but it was not there at the time. At that time, smartphones were gaining momentum, and these two words were only found in top products. Something like today's "AI" - now it sounds great to us, and in ten years it won't.

Today, we usually see the "S" and "Y" series of phones, and you may be wondering where the "Note" series is here?

The Note is actually a series that goes back to back with the "S" series. More precisely, each "S" model had its "Note" equivalent. Still, rumors say the S21 Ultra will have its own SPen so - maybe the Note series is shutting down.

By the way, when Samsung announced this phone naming scheme, it explained some other terms that were in the names.

  • "Pro" - they had phones that came with a QWERTY keyboard for faster e-mail typing and increased productivity.
  • "Plus" - means that the phone is an upgrade to an existing model.
  • "LTE" - means that the phone has support for LTE (Long-Term Evolution), which is a 4G standard that has increased the speed and capacity of the mobile network.

Even today, this device naming scheme has been maintained, but some meanings have changed a bit because technology has advanced in the meantime.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
