The South Korean multinational conglomerate released its latest remix of the signature “Over the Horizon” ringtone just ahead of next week’s Galaxy S20 announcement. After last year’s classical crossover, this time Samsung took inspiration from nature for its acoustic cover with a relaxing blend of monochords placed in a forest landscape.
The new ringtone captures the subtle sounds of running water and chirping birds through the lush forest landscape. The actual tune starts at the 47-second mark and continues for another 3 minutes. The sound is accompanied by soothing shots of grasslands and a coastal air view.
The “Over the Horizon” tune has been around since 2011 with the Galaxy S ll and is reworked each year for the release of the latest Galaxy S flagships. For a trip down memory lane, you can check out last year’s coverage where we complied all 9 renditions of the default Samsung ringtone.
Brief About Samsung
Samsung is a South Korean multinational conglomerate headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul. It 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 source of income. As of 2017, Samsung has the 6th highest global brand value.
