How to create a Samsung account

While Samsung mobile device users often prefer the strict use of a Google account, many manufacturers also suggest creating a separate Samsung account to benefit from the full array of Samsung services, including certain apps, Samsung Drive, as well as some other mobile, television, and web services. This article will walk you through creating your own Samsung account. All you need to do is have a valid email address.

How to sign up for a Samsung Account?

As mentioned above, Samsung accounts give you access to various Samsung-specific services. These include (but are not limited to) Samsung Galaxy apps, AllShare Play (a multimedia management service), Find My Mobile (a service that allows you to locate, manage, and lock lost or stolen devices), Learning Hub (a download service for interactive educational content), Family Story (which allows you to share photos, events, and messages with family and friends), and ChatON (Samsung's instant messaging service).

Account holders can also access the Music Hub, Samsung's online streaming service.
