Samsung announced a change to its application storefront for smartphones and tablets that it hopes will set its offerings apart from Google’s as well as reduce consumer confusion. What was previously called Samsung Apps will now be called Galaxy Apps.
Samsung said the Galaxy Apps store will offer hundreds of applications exclusive to Samsung’s smartphones. Further, the store will include sections and apps exclusive to specific Galaxy-branded devices. One section will include apps made specifically with Samsung’s SDKs. Samsung has already redesigned its online app portal to reflect the new branding.
It plans to roll out the redesigned Galaxy Apps store to its smartphones and tablets over the coming weeks.
