Are there any real benefits of (creating and) using a Samsung account? Or is Samsung just offering inferior services (e.g. "synch") in an effort to deepen its marketing clout?

2I haven't really seen any good use for activating the Samsung account. It will just add more stress to your phone (syncs, notifications), but that's just a personal preference. – geffchang Sep 28 '13 at 13:01

Personally, I haven't created a Samsung account, and rooted my S4 to remove all the samsung apps (hubs, etc.) With all the Android ecosystem, I don't really see a benefit in the Samsung layer. But that's up to you. – Guillaume Oct 01 '13 at 12:56

As well as getting access to Samsung's sync and backup service, creating a Samsung account also gets you access to Samsung's app store. It's not as extensive as the main Play Store, but it has a good selection of apps.
Whether you think that's a "real benefit" or not is entirely up to you.
