The deal will enable Samsung to tap into the resurgence of interest in Take That, which peaked in July when the band was rejoined by Robbie Williams following a 15-year hiatus.
The agreement allows Samsung to embed its brand into various aspects of the tour.

Simon Stanford, managing director of Samsung Mobile UK, said: "We intend this partnership to take Samsung's position in mobile entertainment to new heights and allow us to market our leading mobile technology and brand to millions of Take That fans.

The sponsorship was announced at a press conference in London, when the band revealed details of the tour. It will debut at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on 30 May 2011.
The band will play 14 dates in the UK and a further six in mainland Europe.
