What is a Samsung account?
While you need a Google account to access key services (like the Play Store) on an Android smartphone, some OEMs require users to create another account to use their proprietary apps and services. In the case of Samsung, you need to create another account to access apps like the Galaxy Store, Samsung Health, Galaxy Wearables, SmartThings and more. Services like Samsung Find and Samsung Cloud also require a Samsung account.
If you no longer use your Samsung smartphone, you still may want to preserve the data linked to your Samsung account. If you choose to buy another Samsung device in future, you won’t need to go through the hoops of creating another account. Additionally, once you log into your Samsung account, your saved bookmarks, notes, and other synced app data will be waiting for you.
