Section 3: Contacts and Accounts
Accounts
Your phone provides the ability to synchronize information,
from a variety of accounts, including Email, Facebook,
Google, and your Samsung account. Depending on the
account, you can choose to synchronize your calendar,
contacts, and other types of content.

your phone is updated with any information that changes in
your accounts.
