In addition to the apps we describe below, Samsung has apps for its Galaxy Edge line of smartphones and a virtual assistant called Bixby, which replaced the S Voice app that managed voice commands on earlier devices. Samsung+ is a premium customer support app that offers live help and other resources.

Here are five apps worth highlighting and downloading.

Samsung has rolled Pay into a larger app, Samsung Wallet. It works with most U.S. credit cards and banks on select devices running Android 6.0 and later. Like Apple and Google Pay, you can use your phone to pay at the checkout. However, it has technology that works with almost all credit card machines, not just those that support mobile payments.

Wallet also includes password management (Samsung Pass), digital keys, and asset tracking.
