The following is a table showing the full initial release history of every Galaxy device since 2009.

Starting from the Galaxy Note 3, Samsung phones and tablets contained a warning label stating that it would only operate with SIM cards from the region the phone was sold in. A spokesperson clarified the policy, stating that it was intended to prevent grey-market reselling, and that it only applied to the first SIM card inserted. For devices to use a SIM card from other regions, one of the following actions totaling five minutes or longer in length must first be performed with the SIM card from the local region:

• Make calls on the phone or watch from the Samsung Phone app
• Use the Call and Text on Other Devices feature to make calls

With the launch of the Galaxy S8 series in 2017, that process has changed. Due to the fact that many variants use a Multi-CSC, it will only work with SIM cards from the same CSC group. For example, an AT&T SIM card will not work on cellular-based Galaxy devices sold in Europe and other countries.

"Over the Horizon" is the trademark sound for Samsung smartphone devices, first introduced in 2011 on the Galaxy S II.{{Cite web |date=2024-01-25 |title=Over the Horizon |url=https://design.samsung.com/global/contents/over-the-horizon/ |access-date=2024-02-13 |website=Samsung Design |language=en-US|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20240214015620/https://design.samsung.com/global/contents/over-the-horizon/ |archive-date=2024-02-14 |url-status=live}} It was composed by Joong-sam Yun and appears as music in the music library of most Samsung phones released since 2011.{{Cite web |date=2015-04-18 |title=Over the Horizon: The Evolution of the Samsung Galaxy Brand Sound |url=https://news.samsung.com/global/over-the-horizon-the-evolution-of-the-samsung-galaxy-brand-sound |access-date=2024-02-14 |website=Samsung Newsroom |language=en-US|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20151222140602/https://news.samsung.com/global/over-the-horizon-the-evolution-of-the-samsung-galaxy-brand-sound |archive-date=22 Dec 2015|url-status=live}} Prior to 2011, "Beyond Samsung" served as Samsung's trademark music track, while "Samsung Tune" was used as the default ringtone. The sound appears as the default ringtone, as well as the sound when the phone turns on or off (a snippet is used), and as a notification sound. While the basic composition of the six-note tune has not changed since its inception, various versions of different genres have been introduced as the product line evolved.

While the first two versions were created in-house at Samsung, later versions were outsourced to external musicians. The sound has been covered by various popular artists who have released their own arrangements and remixes of the song, such as Quincy Jones, Icona Pop, Suga of BTS, and various K-pop artists. In Samsung's U.S. registration of the trademark for the sound, it is described as "the sound of a bell playing a B4 dotted eighth note, a B4 sixteenth note, an F#5 sixteenth note, a B5 sixteenth note, an A#5 eighth note, and an F#5 half note".{{cite web|url=http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85376579&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch|title=Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR): US Serial No 85376579|website=United States Patent and Trademark Office|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511081924/http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=85376579&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch|archive-date=11 May 2013|url-status=live|access-date=30 April 2022}} (Tap on the heading labelled "Mark Information" to expand the section and view description details.)
