Apple has an App Store for its iPhones and iPads, Google then for devices with Androidem provided by Google Play. On Apple products, no other distribution of digital content is present, but Google is more benevolent in this regard, and therefore Samsung can afford to have its own in its devices Galaxy Store.
History
Samsung's digital store was established in 2009, but has changed its name several times. We had Samsung Apps here, Samsung Galaxy Apps and now Samsung Galaxy Store. Before the company fixed its Bada operating system, the store was also on these devices. The platform primarily comes pre-installed on smartphones Galaxy, but also Samsung Gear and regular phones (such as Samsung REX and Duos). Samsung Store is available worldwide in more than 125 countries.
