It’s the season for gifting and giving thanks. It’s a time to gather with friends and family, participate in fun traditions, and enjoy cozy rituals.

If you haven’t given much thought to holiday shopping yet, don’t worry, Galaxy has you covered.

Read on to learn how giving the gift of Galaxy can benefit your loved ones’ everyday lives long after the holiday season.

Why gift Galaxy?

Samsung Galaxy proudly delivers innovative technology and devices that fit conveniently into different lifestyles, which means you can confidently gift Galaxy to meet people where they are.

Watch Ultra2 is Galaxy’s most advanced smartwatch and the ideal companion for your friends and family who love adventure, wellness, and being outdoors. Galaxy Buds4 series easily pairs with Galaxy smartphones enabling crystal clear audio for the one who’s always on the go. Galaxy XR transports users to the next era of immersion, a spot-on gift for your favorite tech lover — and these options are just the beginning.

Galaxy is all about personalization. Many devices are easily customizable, which means whoever you gift can choose Galaxy themes, wallpapers, icons, and accessories to fit their needs and style.

What should new users know about switching ecosystems and compatibility concerns?

Switching is convenient with Smart Switch. Samsung’s data transfer app enables users switching to Galaxy from iOS or Android to bring existing data and settings across devices. That includes contacts, photos, videos, messages, apps, settings, and more.¹ With One UI9, users can also transfer passwords and passkeys, call history, accessibility settings, and eSIM information.² Having options like these can help new users adjust and settle into their new Galaxy device.

When it comes to compatibility, enhanced Quick Share makes it easy to share files with friends, family, and colleagues using different platforms.³ Gifting and using Galaxy devices should be straightforward, and we know that cross-platform sharing is an important part of that experience. Quick Share is now Airdrop capable, so you can share files between Galaxy and iOS devices.

How can I make sure my friends and family keep their Galaxy gift safe?

When you give the gift of Galaxy, you can also give the gift of Samsung Care+ or Samsung Care+ with Theft and Loss.⁴ This means that the device you gift will be covered for unlimited drops, spills, and mechanical breakdowns, plus theft and loss coverage, depending on the protection you opt for.⁵ Devices eligible for Samsung Care+ include Galaxy smartphones, tablets, watches, buds, rings, and PCs, while devices eligible for Samsung Care+ with Theft and Loss include Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and watches. Pricing is dependent on device manufacture suggested retail price.

Can Samsung Galaxy purchases be returned?

Generally, yes. The process varies depending on where the purchase took place. Most items bought from Samsung.com or in the Shop Samsung App can be returned within 15 days of delivery. After requesting a return, you’ll have 15 days to ship the product back. Return shipping is free, but some products may have a restocking fee.

Anything that arrives damaged, defective, or non-functioning must be reported within 5 days of delivery or 2 days after installation, whichever is later. For refunds, payment will be issued to your original method once the returned product passes inspection.

Products bought from other retailers must be returned to that retailer, as partner retailers have different return policies.
