Samsung Galaxy is a series of mobile computing devices designed, manufactured and marketed by Samsung Electronics. The product line includes the Galaxy S series of high-end smartphones, the Galaxy Tab series of tablets, the Galaxy Note series of tablets and phablets with the added functionality of a stylus, and the first version of the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, with later versions dropping the Galaxy branding.

Samsung Galaxy devices use the Android operating system produced by Google, usually with a custom user interface called Samsung Experience (formerly TouchWiz). However, the tradition of Android-exclusivity for the series was broken at CES 2016with the announcement of the first Galaxy-branded Windows 10 device, the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S.^[1]

The S7, S8, S9, Note FE and Note8 Galaxy devices come with a file transfer app (Smart Switch) pre-loaded, with no app icon. Smart Switch works with all recent Galaxy devices, from the S2 through to current models.
