Samsung Galaxy (Korean: 삼성 갤럭시; stylized asSΛMSUNG Galaxy since 2015 (except in Japan, where the company omitted the "Samsung" branding up until 2023);[2] previously stylized asSamsung GALAXY) is a series ofcomputing devices designed, manufactured, and marketed bySamsung Electronics since 29 June 2009.
The product line includes theGalaxy S series of high-end smartphones, theGalaxy Z series offoldable smartphones, theGalaxy A,M, andF series of mid-range and budget smartphones, theGalaxy Tab series oftablets, and theGalaxy Watch series of smartwatches. TheGalaxy TabPro S is the first Samsung Galaxy-brandedWindows 10 device that was announced atCES 2016. In 2020, Samsung added theGalaxy Chromebook 2-in-1 laptop runningChromeOS to the Galaxy branding lineup.[3] TheSamsung Galaxy XR, first released on 21 October 2025, is one of the first major extended-reality devices to feature theAndroid XR operating system.
Samsung Galaxy devices come with a user interface calledOne UI (with previous versions being known asSamsung Experience andTouchWiz).
The Samsung Galaxy series is noteworthy for its pioneering role in bringing Android into mainstream popularity beginning in the early 2010s and still having popularity to this day with their high-quality smartphones.[4][5]
TheSamsung Galaxy was launched in June 2009 as Samsung's firstAndroid powered device. At the time, the brand's flagship smartphone was theSamsung Omnia and itssuccessor, powered by Windows Mobile.[6] Omnia had been the second full-touch Samsung device running the TouchWiz user interface (after theTocco), but the Galaxy had an unmodified Android interface; the TouchWiz UI made its way to the Galaxy series with theGalaxy S.[7] The Galaxy S and its successorGalaxy S II became very successful, eclipsing the company's other lines and operating systems.[8] During the decade, the Galaxy phones "became the company's most-praised products [and] also were among the best-sellingsmartphones in the world."[9]

Samsung Galaxy smartphones run the Android operating system under theGoogle Mobile Services platform, however Samsung and third-parties have bundled various other software in them too. TheTouchWiz interface was used until 2017, replaced bySamsung Experience. This was then replaced byOne UI in 2019.
The company has created many apps and services under the Galaxy brand specifically for these devices - many of which come preloaded - including theGalaxy Store which provides apps and customizations. Since late 2019, severalMicrosoft apps likeOutlook also come preloaded[16] on Galaxy as a result of a Samsung-Microsoft partnership.[17][16]
Samsung has been caught quietly installing an Israeli bloatware application known asAppCloud in its phone lineup, in particular, the West Asian and North African regions.[citation needed] This app is known for collecting large amounts of sensitive personal data, without a chance to opt-out or uninstall the app without achieving root access due to it falling under the system app umbrella. This process of gaining root access would trip theSamsung Knox E-fuse and void the warranty in the event this is achieved by use ofbootloader unlocking, which has recently become impossible on all Samsung devices runningOneUI 8 or above, as the code for unlocking thebootloader has been completely stripped from not only the settings app, but also the bootloader itself.[18][19]
Samsung have made several tools for making various Galaxy devices like phones, tablets and watches, work closer together.Samsung Flow is a feature allowing content to be synced with a PC, such as notifications, replying to messages and authenticating from a PC, and sharing content.[20] It was announced in November 2014,[21] released in a preview form in May 2015[22] and final released in May 2016.[23] Microsoft'sPhone Link also comes on Galaxy smartphones since 2019.[17]
Another feature namedMulti Control allows controlling of a Galaxy smartphone with aGalaxy Book keyboard and mouse, anddrag and drop files between them.[24]Device Control is another feature in the quick panel that can controlSmartThings and other devices.[25]

Starting from theGalaxy Note 3, Samsung phones and tablets contained a warning label stating that it would only operate withSIM cards from the region the phone was sold in. A spokesperson clarified the policy, stating that it was intended to preventgrey-market reselling, and that it only applied to the first SIM card inserted. For devices to use a SIM card from other regions, one of the following actions totaling five minutes or longer in length must first be performed with the SIM card from the local region:
With the launch of theGalaxy S8 series in 2017, that process has changed. Due to the fact that many variants use a Multi-CSC, it will only work with SIM cards from the same CSC group. For example, an AT&T SIM card will not work on cellular-based Galaxy devices sold in Europe and other countries.
Since September 2013, model numbers of devices in the Samsung Galaxy series are in the "SM-ABCDE" format (excluding the Galaxy J SC-02F, Galaxy Centura SCH-S738C, and SGH-N075T), where A is the model series, B is the device class, C is the generation, D is the device type, and E is the country/region that is made for (if applicable). Prior to September 2013, the model numbers were in the "GT-XXXXX" format; they were also in the "SCH-XXXX", "SGH-XXXX", "SPH-XXXX" and "SHV/SHW-XXXX" formats.
Duos or Dual SIM models end with the /DS suffix.

"Over the Horizon" is the trademark sound for Samsung smartphone devices, first introduced in 2011 on theGalaxy S II.[79] It was composed by Joong-sam Yun and appears as music in the music library of most Samsung phones released since 2011.[80] Prior to 2011, "Beyond Samsung" served as Samsung's trademark music track, while "Samsung Tune" was used as the default ringtone. The sound appears as the defaultringtone, as well as the sound when the phone turns on or off (a snippet is used), and as a notification sound. While the basic composition of the six-note tune has not changed since its inception, various versions of different genres have been introduced as the product line evolved.
While the first two versions were created in-house at Samsung, later versions were outsourced to external musicians. The sound has been covered by various popular artists who have released their own arrangements and remixes of the song, such asQuincy Jones,Icona Pop,Suga ofBTS, and variousK-pop artists. In Samsung's U.S. registration of the trademark for the sound, it is described as "the sound of a bell playing a B4 dotted eighth note, a B4 sixteenth note, an F#5 sixteenth note, a B5 sixteenth note, an A#5 eighth note, and an F#5 half note".[81]
