Samsung USB Driver v1.9.5.0 is the latest official driver released by Samsung Electronics for connecting all Galaxy smartphones and tablets to a Windows PC via USB. Whether you want to flash stock firmware using Samsung Odin Tool, run ADB/Fastboot commands, transfer files, or fix device recognition issues on your computer, installing this driver is the essential first step. Version 1.9.5.0 was released on May 6, 2026 directly from the Samsung Developer Portal, and it supports all current Galaxy devices including the Galaxy S25 series running on Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (both 32-bit and 64-bit).
What Is Samsung USB Driver?
Samsung USB Driver is a lightweight Windows utility that creates a communication bridge between your Windows PC and your Samsung Android device. Without it, Windows cannot properly identify your Galaxy phone or tablet — especially in specialized modes like Download Mode (used for Odin flashing) or ADB mode (used for debugging and development).
Unlike Samsung Smart Switch, the standalone USB driver does not come bundled with unnecessary software. It is the preferred choice for technicians, developers, and advanced users who only need Odin flashing or ADB/Fastboot access without the full Smart Switch installation.

FAQ
What is Samsung USB Driver used for?
Samsung USB Driver enables your Windows PC to recognize and communicate with Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets over a USB connection. It is required for flashing firmware using Samsung Odin Tool, running ADB and Fastboot commands, transferring files via MTP, recovering bricked devices, and performing software debugging or development tasks.
Do I need Samsung USB Driver if I have Smart Switch installed?
Not necessarily. Samsung Smart Switch bundles the USB driver internally. However, if you only need Odin flashing or ADB access, installing the standalone USB driver is a faster and lighter option since it does not include Smart Switch’s data migration features.
Is Samsung USB Driver free?
Yes. Samsung USB Driver is completely free to download and use. It is developed and distributed by Samsung Electronics through the official Samsung Developer Portal.
Does Samsung USB Driver work on Windows 11?
Yes. Samsung USB Driver v1.9.5.0 is fully compatible with Windows 11 (both 32-bit and 64-bit). It is digitally signed by Samsung Electronics, so it installs without driver signing issues on Windows 11.
My PC still doesn’t recognize my Samsung device after installing the driver. What should I do?
Try the following steps:
- Restart your PC after installing the driver.
- Use a different USB port or USB cable.
- Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your device.
- Try installing an older version of the driver if compatibility issues persist.
- Uninstall and reinstall the driver via Device Manager.
What is Download Mode and why do I need this driver for it?
Download Mode (also called Odin Mode) is a special boot state on Samsung devices used to flash firmware via Samsung Odin Tool. Without the Samsung USB Driver installed, your PC cannot establish the low-level communication channel required to detect your device in Download Mode.
