Generic tag for Samsung devices. Use it only if a device tag is needed for a Samsung device, and there's not better matching tag. See the full tag-wiki for more details.

Samsung is a multinational conglomerate corporation based in South Korea. Their electronics brand, Samsung Electronics, has produced numerous popular Android devices including the Galaxy S line, the Galaxy Tab, and Google's flagship Galaxy Nexus.

Please note the restriction for using "generic manufacturer tags": Use them only if your question really needs a device-specific tag, and there's no one specifically for your device. See Manufacturer tag cleanup for more details.
