What is Samsung Data Recovery

Samsung Data Recovery is recovery software designed specifically for Samsung phones.

There are many reasons why you might be loss access to files on your smartphone: accidental deletion, restoring factory settings, rooting, flashing ROM and so forth. Samsung Data Recovery is software by Tenorshare that is designed to recover files lost in this manner, and more importantly, this tool aims to be more effective by being configured specifically for Samsung smartphones and other mobile devices.

Samsung Data Recovery runs on Windows and supports Windows 10. You need to connect your Samsung device to your PC, and then, this program will access it like an external drive. That includes any SD cards that are inserted into the phone. This connection can be achieved either via USB or Wi-Fi. We recommend a wired connection whenever possible, but Wi-Fi is a nice option to have if a wired connection is not possible for whatever reason.

The program has a Quick Recovery button at the top. This is the quickest way to find and recover files but not the most exhaustive. The program offers a number of different scanning options as well as recovery options, and advanced users can fiddle around under the hood to try to recover those important files that just are not responding to the quick approach.

Samsung Data Recovery supports practically any file type that your phone or Windows can recognize. It will automatically sort these into categories: Contacts, Call History, Messages, Photos, Videos, Documents, Audio and Other files. All recoverable items are presented in an image list box. You can select all within each grouping or select items individually to be recovered.

Note that despite the name, Samsung Data Recovery is not an official Samsung app. Tenorshare does nothing to make that fact clear and even leans into the misconception people may have. The software is arguably a bit pricey relative to similar programs. Nevertheless, this is a trial that lets you use the software—but not recover data—to determine if that price is worth it to you.
