If you own a Samsung smartphone, you will be asked to create a Samsung account when you first set up Android. Most users simply skip this step as the benefits of such an account are not immediately apparent to everyone. In our tips + tricks we have summarized the most important features of a Samsung account for you and show you how you can create an account afterwards.

What features does a Samsung account offer?

As the owner of a Samsung account, you have access to various Samsung services, including the separate " Galaxy Store " app store . This offers you discounted or partly free apps - but the selection of apps is much smaller than that of their counterparts from Google. Furthermore, membership with Samsung is free for the time being, but there may be costs for some services, such as expanding your own Samsung cloud or purchasing apps. So you get a number of useful features, but in the same breath you trust Samsung. To make it easier for you to choose whether the advantages of a Samsung account outweigh the advantages for you, we have put together an overview of the essential features:

  • Additional app store "Galaxy Store": Here you can find special offers for apps or, in some cases, free apps. The "Galaxy Essentials" tab contains apps and offers that are specially designed for your Samsung smartphone.
  • Samsung cloud: You can also set up a cloud with 15 GB of storage to save your photos and videos. In addition, you can also synchronize your contacts and calendar.
  • Find My Mobile: This function is equivalent to " Find My iPhone" on Android for Samsung devices. Find My Mobile can help you locate your phone in case you misplaced or lost it. You can also use this feature to remotely lock your cell phone, let the phone ring and even set a number to which calls to your lost cell phone can be forwarded.
  • Samsung Health: The app is a free application that is used to track various aspects of daily life, such as physical activity, diet or sleep.
