About this sound

Over the Horizon, the Samsung Galaxy S2 ringtone with piano-and-strings melody that became Samsung's signature sound. Perfect for fake calls and nostalgia edits.

Over the Horizon is the gentle, uplifting ringtone that shipped as the default sound on the Samsung Galaxy S2. It opens with a soft piano motif that blooms into warm strings and a light, hopeful melody, instantly recognisable to anyone who owned a Galaxy phone in the early 2010s. The tune is calm and polished rather than loud or comedic, which makes it surprisingly effective in edits: viewers immediately register the familiar melody and associate it with a phone call, an official Samsung moment or a wave of nostalgia for older Android days.

Pro tip

Drop it at the exact frame a phone appears on screen and add a screen glow so the audio sells the fake call. Keep the volume low under dialogue, and avoid looping it more than twice, since the full 20-second melody gets repetitive in edits.

How people use it

More information

Over the Horizon is Samsung's official signature sound, composed by Joong-sam Yun and first released as the default ringtone on the Galaxy S2 in 2011. Samsung has re-arranged it every year since, turning the short piano-and-strings melody into one of the most recognisable phone sounds in the world. Online it appears in prank videos, fake-call skits and galaxy meme edits that play on early-2010s Android nostalgia, and it still works because almost everyone recognises those first few notes instantly.
