With Samsung in the process of rolling out its Samsung Apps store globally, it's revealed the apps and games that have been downloaded the most between June and mid-July.
Half of the top 10 are games, with EA's Need For Speed Shift the best placed at number 2, behind flashlight app Magic Torch.
Of course, this being a most downloaded list, all of the top 10 are free.
Gameloft's Real Football 2010 is the other placed branded games at number 5. Now listed as £3, we assume there was a free campaign during the World Cup to boost downloads numbers.
The other game titles are typical arcade experiences including a basketball game, a penalty kick game, and a shooter.
Simple pleasures
"Response to Samsung Apps has been tremendous in our target markets, and a lot of it is because of the popularity of utility and entertainment apps," said Kanghyun Kwon, vice president, media solutions center, Samsung Electronics.
"The days of using a phone just for talking are long gone - functionality is key now. With Samsung Apps, we aim to fill the need for functionality and practical apps for all of our existing Samsung customers, as well as attract new customers by adding more unique applications. We're excited with what the future holds for Samsung Apps."

1. Magic Torch - flashlight
2. Need For Speed Shift - racer
3. Illusions - visual puzzles
