​ ​INTRODUCTION  
1.1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION:
Telecommunication is the transmission of signs, signals, messages,
words, writings, images, sounds, or information of any nature by wire,
radio, optical or any other electromagnetic systems.
Telecommunication occurs when exchange of information between
communication participants includes the use of technology. It is
transmitted either electrically over physical media such as cables or via
electromagnetic radiation.
Since the Latin term “ communication “ is considered the social process
of information exchange, the term telecommunication is often used as
the plural form of it because it involves many different technologies.
The Revolution in wireless communication began in the first decade of
the 20th century with the pioneering development in radio
communication by GUGLIELMO MARCONI who won the NOBEL PRIZE
in PHYSICS in 1909.
20​TH AND 21​ST century technologies for long distance communication
involves electrical and electromagnetic technologies such as telegraph,
telephone, teleprinter, internet, radio, microwave transmission, fiber
optic, and communication satellite.

a SouthKorean multinational conglomerate headquartered in Samsung
Town, Seoul. It comprises numerous affiliated businesses, most them
united under the Samsung brand, and is the largest South Korean
chaebol (business conglomerates).
Samsung was founded by Lee Byung-chul in 1938 as a trading
company. Over the next three decades, the group diversified into areas
including food processing, textiles, insurance, securities and retail.
Samsung entered the electronics industry in the late 1960s and the
construction and shipbuilding industries in the mid-1970s; these areas
would drive its subsequent growth. Following Lee's death in 1987,
Samsung was separated into four business groups – Samsung Group,
Shinsegae Group, CJ Group and Hansol Group. Since 1990, Samsung
has increasingly globalised its activities and electronics; in particular, its
mobile phones and semiconductors have become its most important

The essence of modern marketing is that all elements of business

CHAPTER 2   
COMPANY PROFILE 
2.1 COMPANY PROFILE:
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd devote their people and technology to
create superior products and services, thereby contributing to a better
global society. Working closely together with customers, building strong
ties to the local communities we serve, and responding creatively to
future challenges, are principles deeply instilled in the minds of our
employees.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is the chief subsidiary of South Korea's


giant Samsung Group and the largest electronics producer in Asia.
Samsung Electronics operates four main divisions including Digital
Media, Semiconductors, Information & Communications, and Home
Appliances. The company sells televisions, video, and audio equipment;
computers and related products; phones, cellular phones, and fax
machines; home appliances; semiconductors; network-related products;
factory ​automation ​products; fiber optics products; closed circuit security
products; motors and compressors; and solar energy systems. In 2000,
Samsung Electronics held the leading market position in the code
division multiple access (CDMA) Handset, DRAM, SRAM, and color
monitor markets.

Samsung Electronics was created in 1969 as a division of the mammoth


Korean chaebol Samsung Group. The unit was established as a means
of getting Samsung into the burgeoning television and customers
electronics industry.
The division's first product was a small and simple black-and-white
television that it began selling in the early 1970s. From that product,
Samsung Electronics gradually developed a diverse line of customers
electronics that it first sold domestically, and later began exporting. The
company also began branching out into color televisions, and later into a

B.S.Channabasappa First Grade College,Davangere ​ ​ 11


Customers attitude towards Samsung Galaxy S10

variety of customers electronics and appliances. By the 1980s, Samsung


was manufacturing, shipping, and selling a wide range of appliances and
electronic products throughout the world.
Although the rapid growth of Samsung Electronics during the 1970s and
early 1980s was impressive, it did not surprise observers who were
familiar with the Samsung Group, which was founded in 1938 by
Byung-Chull Lee, a celebrated Korean entrepreneur. Lee started a small
trading company with a $2,000 nest egg and 40 employees. He called it
Samsung, which means 'three stars' in Korean. The company enjoyed
moderate growth before the Communist invasion in 1950 forced Lee to
abandon his operations in Seoul. Looting soldiers and politicians on both
sides of the conflict diminished his inventories to almost nothing. With
savings contributed by one of his managers, Lee started over in 1951
and within one year had grown his company's assets 20-fold.
Lee established a sugar refinery in 1953, a move that was criticized at
the time because sugar could be easily obtained through American aid.
But for Lee, the act was important because it was the first manufacturing
facility built in South Korea after the Korean War. From sugar, wool, and
other commodity businesses , Lee moved into heavier manufacturing.
The company prospered under Lee's philosophy of making Samsung the
leader in each industry he entered.
From manufacturing, Samsung moved into various service businesses
during the 1960s, including insurance, broadcasting, securities, and
even a department store. Lee experienced several major setbacks
during the period. For example, in the late 1960s, shortly before
Samsung Electronics was created, Lee was charged with an illegal sale
of about $50,000 worth of goods. The charges turned out to be the
fabrication of a disgruntled government official to whom Lee had refused
to pay a bribe. Nevertheless, one of Lee's sons was arrested and Lee
was forced to donate a fertilizer plant to the government to win his
release. Despite that and  other  ​problems, Samsung continued to
flourish. Indeed, by the end of the 1960s the conglomerate was
generating more than $100 million in annual revenues.
Shortly after Lee's son was arrested, Lee decided to break into the mass
communication industry by launching a radio and television station, as
well as by manufacturing televisions and electronic components through
the Samsung Electronics division. The industry was dominated at the
time by several U.S. and European manufacturers, and some Japanese

B.S.Channabasappa First Grade College,Davangere ​ ​ 12


Customers attitude towards Samsung Galaxy S10

companies were beginning to enter the industry. Nevertheless, Lee was


confident that Samsung could stake its claim on the local market and
eventually become a global contender. During the early 1970s, the
company invested heavily, borrowed and coaxed technology from
foreign competitors, and drew on its business and political connections
to begin carving out a niche in the customers electronics industry. In
addition to televisions, Samsung branched out into other customers
electronics products and appliances.
Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is a South Korean multinational
conglomerate providing semiconductor, telecom and digital convergence
technology, and employing more than 200,000 workers in around 60
countries. The company is also a producer of memory chips, TFT-LCDs,
CDMA mobile phones, monitors and VCRs. The group consists of four
main business units: digital media network, device solution network,
telecommunication ​network and digital appliance network businesses.
Samsung has regional subsidiaries in Argentina, Mexico, Peru, Chile
and Colombia.

With an aim to become one of the most ethical companies In the world,
Samsung continues to train its employees and operate monitoring
systems, while practicing fair and transparent corporate
management.​Samsung follows a simple business philosophy: to devote
its talent and technology to creating superior products and services that
contribute to a better global society. To achieve this, Samsung sets a
high value on its people and technologies​.

in its vision 2020. With this new vision , Samsung's commitment is to

success. For instance , the vision statement enumerates a number of
major points , such as the emphasis on innovation , which directly
relates with Samsung's rapid innovation strategy. In addition, the vision

B.S.Channabasappa First Grade College,Davangere ​ ​ 16


Customers attitude towards Samsung Galaxy S10

statement specifies simplicity which is also an integral part of the


company’s approach to product design and development.
Samsung is known for the user friendly and easy to use products that
help to improve daily activities. For instance, the simplicity of the design
of Samsung phones makes it easy to communicate, use apps ,and
access the internet. Moreover, Samsung vision statement shows the
careful selection markets. This factor reflects the firm’s use of market
research to guide decision-making in product development and strategy
formulation. Samsung highlights the employees collaboration and
excellence is key to business. This detailed vision statement is quite
comprehensive in addressing the different aspects of Samsung
business. It effectively shows the holistic approach of the company’s
leader. Thus, based on the conventions on vision statement

MISSION : 
Samsung’s mission seems focused in building its brand and becoming a
creative leader in new markets. It looks like Samsung is set to change its
reputation of being fast followers, a company that succeeds through
watching others pioneer new technologies and markets and then rush in
behind. This was seen when Samsung lost a high profile case to the
iPhone after being accused of companies phones were iPhone’s rip-offs
that violated a number of patents. In spite of its success, Samsung still
lags behind Apple in terms of which is the most innovative company. In
its mission to capture the title of being a creative leader in the
Smartphone market. Samsung leaders believe they must fundamentally

B.S.Channabasappa First Grade College,Davangere ​ ​ 17


Customers attitude towards Samsung Galaxy S10

transform the company’s culture and strategies. By doing R&D,


Samsung will be able to control its destiny.
Samsung's mission statement is very specific in indicating what the
company does and will do. Details about certain product lines are
included to show the firm’s current condition. The mission statement
mentions all the products that Samsung is dealing with. These details
are important in recognising and setting the baseline for future actions
that Samsung will implement .These future actions are also provided in
detail. The mission statement includes details about what Samsung is
intending and intends to do in its various businesses. For example, the
firm states that it is “defining the future mobile media and computing
devices. ”This part of the mission statement shows that Samsung plans
to continue focusing its research and development on mobile devices
and related medias.However , the mission statement is quite narrow in
representing possibilities for Samsung, which is currently in the best
position to explore a wider variety of options.
Samsung’s mission statement has shifted away from a general picture of
the business toward a specific reflection of what it wants to achieve in
terms of goods and services.

2.3 MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS:


Samsung has become one of the most successful technology
companies of our generation. The company has developed a business
philosophy of purchasing small companies that they can easily integrate
into their current line of products. ​Peter Koo, Samsung’s Senior Vice
President for the mobile division said: “We are going to be bullish
on finding companies that fit our strategy.” Koo explained that
Samsung aims to make p ​ roducts ​which are more attractive to
customers, and they are looking for M&A ‘s to help with this task.
As per the current data the total number of companies acquired by
Samsung from 2011 to 2018 is 33 companies. As of January 2018,
Samsung Group (005930.KS) had a ​market capitalization​ of $301 billion
and reported 2016 revenue of $174 billion. Founded in 1969, the

B.S.Channabasappa First Grade College,Davangere ​ ​ 18


Customers attitude towards Samsung Galaxy S10

company has come a long way with the products it develops, industries it
enhances and customers it serves. Samsung would have been unable to
achieve the status of one of the largest companies in the world without
acquiring other businesses and operating as a parent company.
Samsung’s success is attributable to all of its business divisions, which
include electronics, refrigerators, medical devices, mobile
communications and information technology.

AdGear:
In June 2016, Samsung bought AdGear, a leading digital advertising
technology company that provides software and services to multiple
channels in the advertising and marketing industry. AdGear offers a
digital signal processor called AdGear Trader that manages data and
acts as an advertisement server.
The Samsung Global Innovation Center led the acquisition, and the new
subsidiary operates as an independent entity wholly owned by Samsung
Electronics Canada Inc. Approximately $50 million was exchanged in the
deal.
Joyent:
Samsung also acquired Joyent, a global public and private cloud
provider, in June 2016. With the acquisition, Samsung now has its own
platform to support cloud-based software. Before the deal, Joyent had
acquired $131 million from private investors. Joyent, founded in 2005,
has two main products: a Container as a Service (CaaS) management
product called Triton and an open source object storing service called
Manta.
LoopPay
In order to rival Apple Pay by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) Samsung
acquired LoopPay. This Massachusetts-based start-up provides the

in-store by tapping a piece of hardware onto an electronic payment
receiving system. This technology has been incorporated into
Samsung’s mobile devices. LoopPay had raised $10 million prior to the

Nexus
Samsung demonstrated its intention for growth into other industries
when it acquired Nexus, a U.S. health care equipment maker. The
amount of the deal was not disclosed to the public, but the move
continued Samsung’s shift into the healthcare industry. In addition, this is

funding prior to the acquisition. Financial information relating to the deal
was not made public.

Simpress
For less than $100 million, Samsung purchased Simpress, a printing
solutions firm, in early 2015. The motivation behind the deal was to
bolster Samsung’s business-to-business operations as well as stabilize
earnings. Simpress, based in Brazil, provides a stronger foothold for
Samsung in Latin America as well as opportunities in business process
outsourcing.

3.1 INTRODUCTION:
Today it’s a very competitive world and the present market situation is
that large scale producers cannot sell their products directly to the
ultimate customers. So there are different channels of distributions and
these distribution channels vary from product to product, place to place
and time to time.
It is necessary for any firm to strengthen its marketing activities and see
that products are available to the customers at the right time and right
place.
Dealer is a mediator between the customers and the producer. He plays

CHAPTER 4 
PRODUCT PROFILE 
4.1 INTRODUCTION:
The ​Samsung Galaxy S10​ (shortened S ​ 10​, respectively) is
the A
​ ndroid​ ​smartphone​ produced by ​Samsung Electronics​ as part of
the S​ amsung Galaxy S series​. The S10 was unveiled on 29 March 2019
and directly succeeded the S ​ amsung Galaxy S9 and S9 edge​, with a
North American release on 21 Feb 2019 and international rollout
throughout March.
The S10 contain upgraded hardware and major design changes over the
S9 line, including larger screens with a taller a ​ spect ratio​ and curved
sides on both the smaller and larger models, ​iris​ and ​face recognition​, a
new suite of ​virtual assistant​ features known as B​ ixby​ (along with a new
dedicated physical button for launching the assistant), and ​Samsung
DeX​, a ​docking station​ accessory that allows the phones to be used with
a ​desktop interface​ with keyboard and mouse input support. The S10
Active features tougher materials designed for protection against shock,
shatter, water and dust, with a metal frame and a tough texture for
improved grip that makes the S10 Active have a rugged design. The
Active's screen measures the same size as the standard S10 model but
loses the curved edges in favour of a metal frame.
The S10 received mostly positive reviews. Their design and form factor
received praise, while critics also liked the updated software and camera
optimizations. They received criticism for duplicate software apps,
lackluster Bixby features at launch, for the placement of the fingerprint
sensor on the rear next to the camera and for poor biometric options for
unlocking the phone. Videos published after the phones' release have
proven that the devices' facial and iris scanners can be fooled by
suitable photographs of the user.The S10 and S10+ were in high
demand at release. During the pre-order period, a record one million
units were booked in South Korea, and overall sales numbers were 30%
higher than the Galaxy S9.

4.2 HISTORY:
Samsung Galaxy S10 is a line of ​Android​-based ​smartphones manufactured,

released and marketed by ​Samsung Electronics​. The Galaxy S10 series is a


celebratory series of the 10th anniversary of the ​Samsung Galaxy ​S flagship line, its

top line of phones next to the ​Note models. Unveiled during the "Samsung Galaxy

Unpacked 2019" press event held on February 20, 2019, the devices started

shipping in certain regions such as ​Australia and the ​United States on March 6,

2019, then worldwide on March 8, 2019. It is the tenth generation of Samsung's

Galaxy S series of smartphones.As has been done since the ​Galaxy S6​, Samsung

unveiled flagship Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ models, differentiated primarily by

screen size and an additional front-facing camera on the S10+. In addition, Samsung

also unveiled a smaller model known as the Galaxy S10e, as well as a larger,

5G​-compatible version, the Galaxy S10 5G. In 2020, a midrange variant, the Galaxy

S10 Lite, was also introduced.

4.3 SOFTWARE:
● Android 9 Pie
● Samsung OneUI v1.1

Samsung’s software experience has been up and down over the years.
Late last year it began testing refreshed software called OneUI. The
Galaxy S10 family is the first to ship with OneUI, though Samsung has
made the software a ​ vailable to older devices​ such as the S9 and Note 9.
It’s a big step up for Samsung.

B.S.Channabasappa First Grade College,Davangere ​ ​ 34


Customers attitude towards Samsung Galaxy S10

For one, Samsung tweaked the icons, fonts, and colors just enough so
the experience feels different and fresh. The settings menu has been
reordered and looks cleaner. I like how the various sections are
arranged under fewer subheads. I think I still prefer the look of raw
Android, but Samsung’s OneUI is superior to ​Huawei’s EMUI​.The
mechanics of the underlying ​Android 9 Pie​ operating system are intact.

You can opt from several home screen styles, easily access the Quick
Settings/notification shade, and control nearly every facet of the theme.
(Yes, you can ​download wallpapers that highlight and/or hide the punch
hole.) It’s mostly fluid as you move through the menus. Samsung kept its
Edge Screen tool, which acts like a quick-access panel for certain apps
and contactsSamsung still insists on foisting Bixby on everyone. A
dedicated ​Bixby button appears on the left edthe phone and consumes
the left-most home screen panel. Samsung has refreshed the look of
Bixby and I think it’s better, but the voice assistant’s functionality is still
not where it needs to be. Samsung added Bixby Routines, which let you
combine certain actions in a manner similar to IFTTT and Siri Shortcuts.
The good news is that Samsung is allowing people to ​remap the
dedicated button​ to other apps (with ​the exception of voice assistants​.)

4.4 HARDWARE:
The S10 line comprises four models with various hardware
specifications; the main S10 and S10+ respectively feature 6.1 and
6.4-inch 1440p "Dynamic ​AMOLED​" displays with ​HDR10+ support and
"dynamic tone mapping" technology. The displays have curved sides
that slope over the horizontal edges of the device. Unlike previous
Samsung phones, their front-facing cameras occupy a rounded cut-out
near the top-right of the display, and both models utilize an ultrasonic
in-screen ​fingerprint reader​. While providing better performance over the
optical in-screen fingerprint readers introduced by other recent phones,
they are not compatible with all screen protectors. Due to this, the S10
and S10+ are both supplied with a pre-installed plastic screen
protector.International models of the S10 utilize the ​Exynos 9820
system-on-chip, while the U.S., ​South American​, and ​Chinese models
utilize the ​Qualcomm Snapdragon ​855​. The two devices are sold with
128 or 512 GB of internal storage along with 8GB of ​RAM​, with the S10+
also being sold in a 1-​terabyte model with 12GB of RAM. They
respectively contain 3400 mAh with the standard S10 and 4100 mAh
batteries for the S10+ model, supporting ​Qi ​inductive charging​, and the
ability to charge other Qi-compatible devices from their own battery
power.
The S10 features a multi-lens rear-facing camera setup; it retains the
dual-aperture 12-megapixel and 12-megapixel telephoto lenses of the
Galaxy S9+, but now uses a camera module introduced on the ​Note 9
and also adds a 16-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens. The front-facing
camera on the S10+ is accompanied by a second RGB depth sensor,
which Samsung states helps improve the quality of photo effects and
augmented reality image filters. Both sets of cameras support ​4K video
recording and HDR10+. The camera software includes a new "Shot
Suggestion" feature to assist users, "Artistic Live Filters", as well as the
ability to post directly to Instagram posts and stories. S10+ uses a
double hole punch design so the front camera, while S10 uses a single
hole punch design. The Galaxy S10e and S10 make use of "advanced

heat-pipe" cooling systems, but the more expensive Galaxy S10 Plus
uses a vapor chamber cooling system.
Alongside the main S10 and S10+, Samsung also unveiled two
additional models. The S10e is a downsized version of the S10,
featuring a smaller, flat, 5.8-inch ​1080p display with no curved edges. Its
fingerprint reader is contained within the power button on the right side
rather than in-display, and it excludes the 12-megapixel telephoto
camera of the S10. It still includes the dual-aperture 12-megapixel and
16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle sensors. There is also a larger,
phablet-sized premium model known as the S10 5G, which features
support for 5G wireless networks, a 6.7-inch display, 256 or 512 GB of
non-expandable storage, additional 3D time-of-flight cameras on both
the front and rear, and a 4,500 mAh battery. This model was temporarily
exclusive to Verizon Wireless on launch in 2019 before expanding to
other carriers in the weeks after launch.The S10 series (except S10 Lite)
is the last flagship in the S series to come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack
as its successors, the S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra, do not.
In January 2020, the S10 Lite was released. It is a midrange variant of
the S10, containing the same cameras as the main variant. It features
128 GB of expandable storage, a 6.5 inch 1080p screen on a plastic
frame, and a 4,500 mAh battery. This variant eliminates the 3.5 mm
headphone jack featured on all of the 2019 variants of the S10, as well
as wireless charging, instead being equipped with 25 watt Super Fast
Charging picked up from the Galaxy Note 10

4.5 DESIGN:
● Screen: 6.1-inch / 6.4-inch “Dynamic AMOLED” display, Quad
HD+ resolution in a 19:9 aspect ratio
● Rear cameras: Wide angle 12-megapixel (77-degree) lens,
telephoto 12-megapixel (45-degree) lens, and ultra wide

4.6 ISSUES:
Samsung’s most anticipated phone ever is finally here, and it’s
something special. The ​Samsung Galaxy S10​ ups the power, trims down
the bezel, and finally makes us excited about phones again.
But like all phones, the Galaxy S10 isn’t without its quirks. Having used
the Galaxy S10 for a number of weeks, I’ve spotted a few minor niggles
that some of you may also have experience.

Below you’ll find some of the biggest Galaxy S10:


● Fingerprint scanner not working properly
● Accidental Screen Touch Problems 

● App Drawer Button Missing 

● Freezing & Unresponsive Problems 

● Bluetooth Problems

worthy and they also feel that the mobile is a necessity and a few
respondents felt that a mobile is for fashion, style and prestige.

From the survey it is clear that Samsung Galaxy S10 is leading in


among its various other handsets.
It is the most popular handset among the people who just do not
want the mobile but along with that it brings prestige, style and

also gives a brand to its users.

CONCLUSION
Samsung galaxy S10 is having a potential market in India. It enjoys the
highest market position and is a commonly used Samsung handset
among the Samsung handset users. This customer's survey shows that
there is a favourable attitude of customers toward Samsung galaxy S10 in
Davangere city.
However, things are not the same all the time as the competition is very
stiff. Everything in life changes, customer’s taste, needs, demand, and
preference also changes. And even the company is also launching other
handsets which are more compatible and affordable. So there is a need
to conduct such research as Samsung galaxy S10 handsets frequently.
