1983-1990
The First Ever Portable Mobile Phone
In 1983 the world got the first ever portable mobile phone in the shape
of the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X. It cost an eye-watering $4000 USD
and was a huge status symbol at the time. Two years later the first
mobile phone call on UK soil was made, then the Vodofone Chairman
Sir Ernest Harrison, the lucky recipient. In 1989 Motorola followed up
the DynaTAC with the 9800X or MicroTAC, it came with a fold down
keyboard cover and set the standard for the flip phone form factor
seen throughout the 90’s.
1991-1994
Dawn of Consumer Handsets
GSM first launched in Europe 1991 with the Orbitel
TPU 900 first to market, but it wasn’t until 1992 that
mobiles were no longer restricted to business use.
Mass production paved the way for cost-effective
consumer handsets with digital displays. Nokia was
one of the first to take advantage of this transition,
with the Nokia 1011 arriving that year.
1995-1998
A Splash of Colour
Although it only offered four colours, the Siemens S10
brought mobile phone displays to life for the first time in
1997. The same year Hagenuk launched the GlobalHandy,
the first device without an external aerial. Customisation
also kicked off in a big way with Ericcson offering
swappable coloured front keyboard panels. The following
year Nokia launched a range of ‘Xpresson’ interchangeable
covers on the 5100 series, making it the first fashion
orientated phone.
1999-2002
Growth of the Feature Phone
1999 saw Nokia unveil the 7110 which was the first
device to take advantage of WAP (a means of accessing
information over a mobile wireless network).
A year later Sharp launched the world’s very first camera
phone, the J-SH04. It was only available in Japan but
signalled the start of the public’s obsession with phone
photography. However, it wasn’t until 2002 and the
release of the Sony Ericsson T68i and its clipon camera,
that western markets started to take an interest in the
camera phone.
2003-2006
Mobile Data Revolution
The implementation of 3G took download speeds up to
2MBS in March 2003 with “3” the first to offer the
service in UK. RIM brought mobile email to the masses
with its range of popular BlackBerry devices like the
8100 Pearl. The advent of front facing cameras in 2003
on devices such as the Sony Ericsson Z1010 meant video
calling became possible, but not popular.
2007-2010
Getting Smarter
Swiping and scrolling replaced the traditional button
method of input. The LG Prada being the first
touchscreen to market ahead of the Apple iPhone in May
2007. However, Apple proved to have both the stronger
brand and superior knowledge of capacitive
touchscreen’s potential.
2011-2014
Life Companion
Smartphones became increasingly central to modern
life, offering much more than just communication
features. The UK’s first 4G service launched in 11
cities by EE in 2012 taking download speeds up to
12mbps. Voice recognition became common place
first with Google Voice before Apple launched Siri
into the market. Samsung added a built-in heart rate
monitor to their flagship Galaxy S5 to capitalize on
growth in mobile health & fitness
2015-2018
Size Matters
The global adoption of 4G vastly improves video streaming
and video calling capabilities. Screen sizes continue to
grow to maximise the experience of these features, with the
iPhone 7 Plus display now 57% larger than the original
iPhone from 2007. Mobile payments also emerge with
Apple Pay and Android Pay offering users the possibility of
buying things with their smartphone.
