MintegralTapping into New Opportunities with Samsung Galaxy Store
Summary
The Samsung Galaxy Store presents a compelling alternative to dominant app stores like Google Play and Apple's App Store, offering developers unique merchandising and marketing opportunities. With Samsung's vast user base—hundreds of millions globally—and strong market shares in key regions (31% in the US, 75% in Korea) and emerging markets like Brazil and Indonesia, the store provides significant reach. Top developers such as Niantic, miHoYo, and Scopely already have a presence, driving traffic and visibility for others.
Additional promotional platforms like the pre-installed Samsung Gaming Hub curate games and offer easy access, with priority display for popular titles and a 'Newbie Game' section for indie developers. Exclusive ad formats include banner ads and video notifications via Samsung apps like Bixby and Samsung Pay. Mintegral supports marketing on the Galaxy Store with precise user acquisition using smart bidding options (Target ROAS, Target CPE) and efficient monetization through SDK integration for various ad formats (banners, interstitials, rewarded videos, native ads).
Case studies show significant user base growth and ROAS exceeding expectations. Mintegral's solutions streamline ad tech with product lineups like AppGrowth, Retargeting, and Monetization, making it easy for developers to excel.

AdjustMeasure installs across more app stores | Adjust
Adjust has expanded store detection and verification across multiple app storefronts, making Store Type the primary dimension for identifying where an install originated rather than relying on platform or OS alone. For ad ops teams, this means campaign performance can now be analyzed at the store level across Huawei AppGallery, Xiaomi GetApps, Samsung Galaxy Store, Vivo Appstore, and Google Play variants, with independent verification of install origin. Newly detected stores are flagged in AppView with a direct route to configuration, and store-level data flows automatically into reporting, raw data, callbacks, and CSV exports, plus Conversion Rules via Store Rule conditions.
