Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows: Download and Installation Guide

Samsung USB Driver is a Windows program that allows your computer to recognize your Samsung Galaxy mobile phone/tablet and communicate with it over a USB connection. These drivers are needed for transferring files, flashing the stock firmware using Odin, debugging software, developing apps, working with ADB commands, and more.

In most cases, Windows should automatically detect the device and install the required drivers. The manufacturer also provides the Smart Switch companion software that bundles the USB drivers.
