6 Samsung-exclusive apps that make you think you made the right decision not to buy a Pixel or iPhone

Truly Galaxy-exclusive apps give Samsung phones a real edge. These Galaxy Store exclusives let you take your device even further. AI-powered photo editors, advanced customization tools, and system-boosting utilities are just a few examples of the apps that give Galaxy phones a uniquely powerful feel.

 

6. Galaxy Enhance-X

Make your photos look like movies with just one tap

 

Every phone comes with basic photo editing tools, but making your photos really pop often requires time and patience. Adjusting brightness, sharpening details, or enhancing texture across dozens of photos can be tedious—and that's where Galaxy Enhance-X comes in.

The magic lies in the AI-powered enhancements. It can brighten dark corners, sharpen details without making photos look over-processed, and enhance texture so even a simple landscape or a cup of coffee looks cinematic.

5. Expert RAW

Take photos manually like a pro

 

Expert RAW gives you complete manual control. You can adjust ISO, shutter speed, focus, and white balance to get exactly the shot you want. And because you shoot in RAW, your photos retain all the uncompressed data from your camera sensor, which is great if you want maximum flexibility in post-processing.

4. Good Guardians

The Ultimate Toolkit for Phone Health

Samsung's Good Guardians keeps your phone running smoothly. The app offers six different modules, each designed to optimize a specific aspect of your device's performance.

 

Battery Tracker and Battery Guardian help extend battery life and prevent unnecessary drain. Galaxy App Booster optimizes your apps so they launch quickly and run more efficiently. Thermal Guardian keeps your phone from overheating, while Memory Guardian clears unused processes to free up RAM. Finally, Media File Guardian helps you reclaim storage space by identifying and deleting hidden or unnecessary media files.

3. Samsung Members

Check and maintain your Galaxy devices easily

No matter how expensive your phone is, you're bound to run into issues with some of its features at some point. In those cases, the Samsung Members app can help take the guesswork out of it. It lets you test nearly every hardware and software component of your phone to quickly find out what's working and what's not.

 

2. Themes

Make your phone your own

 

Every phone has some level of customization, but Samsung Galaxy devices are among the few that truly let you personalize your experience. The Galaxy Store is filled with themes that let you change the entire look of your device in seconds. With just a tap, you can change everything from the wallpaper and icons to the fonts and accent colors.

1. Good Lock

From gestures to animations, control it all

If there's one app you can't live without on a Samsung phone, it's Good Lock. It's a powerful collection of modules that lets you tweak almost every corner of your phone's interface. Unlike themes that focus on changing the look and feel, Good Lock puts you in control of your Galaxy experience. You can hide app labels, change the layout of your recents screen, customize keyboard effects, and tweak every little visual detail until everything is perfectly tailored to your taste.

But Good Lock is more than just a pretty interface. It also comes with a bunch of modules that intelligently extend its functionality.
