What's different between Samsung and Galalxy Shop apps

Except that Samsung Shop wants to know your shoe size, DNA, what you had for lunch last time, and similar personal information 😋

Is the Samsung Shop regionally limited as Samsung wallet?

The Samsung Shop app is just another way of the online site. Both the same

Well, they're not exactly the same. Galaxy Shop doesn't offer the same things as Samsung Shop.

The Galaxy Store is more for apps. The Samsung Shop is for buying all your devices and other various tech items.

Galaxy Shop isn't Galaxy Store. It's web app of samsung.com site, and yes, I checked, Samsung Shop isn't available in my country. Samsung is really trying to chase away all users from "less important" countries to Apple. Well, hello Apple in the near future 😆

The Samsung Shop is just app version of the online site. They both the same, the online site store came before Samsung brought it out in the app version.

The Galaxy Store won't it's mainly for apps you download to use on your tablet and smartphone.

I repeat again, I'm not talking about Galaxy Store, I'm talking about apps in Galaxy Store, one is Samsung Shop, other is Galaxy Shop, both are version of samsung.com site, but Samsung Shop IS app, Galaxy Shop is web app and offer much less exclusive then Samsung Shop.

The Galaxy Shop app appears to be an older offering, and isn't something that I'd recommend using. The Samsung Shop app is the up to date, 'official' shop app, and mimics the experience of shopping directly via samsung.com

I am not allowed to select the country, i.e. nothing happens except redirection to the Samsung site for my country. That's site I already have in my browser, so I deleted Samsung Shop app. Out of curiosity, I tapped all countries to see where the OK button for entering the application would appear. More than 50% of countries are not supported, i.e. the app redirects them to the Samsung web for that country... Forgive me for the vulgarity I'm about to utter. Samsung can shove a €54 gift certificate up its a** for a €2,000 Z fold 7 purchase 😂😇😛 that's all promotion for subscription to unpacked event. I won't be there

@Sonora: That escalated quickly, but you are free to do as you please. As per my previous reply, please disregard the Galaxy Shop app, and use the Samsung Shop app for any purchases you may want to make.

What's the point of having an app if the first thing I see when I open it is selecting a country, when I select it a pop-up window pops up saying I'll be redirected to the browser (Chrome is my default)to the Samsung website and then I see the same thing I see when I open the Samsung website without the app. And it was like that every time I opened the Samsung Shop app. (I tried 4 times). I never used the Galaxy Shop to log in to the Samsung website,too.🤔

As mentioned already- seems to just be an older app. Unsure why not just take it down, mind
