Overview

samsung-mailMobileSamsungYes

Samsung Mail is the default email client on Samsung Android devices with a proprietary rendering engine.

CSS support

Samsung Mail has moderate CSS support, similar to Yahoo Mail:

  • <style> blocks , supported
  • border-radius , supported
  • background-image , supported
  • opacity , supported
  • Flexbox , unsupported
  • Grid , unsupported
  • position , unsupported
  • box-shadow , partial support

Dark mode behavior

Samsung Mail supports @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark). If your email includes dark mode styles, Samsung Mail uses them. Otherwise, it falls back to partial color inversion. Test with simulateDarkMode() to see how your email renders.

Recommendations

  1. Use table-based layouts for reliability
  2. Inline critical styles as a fallback
  3. Add prefers-color-scheme: dark styles to control dark mode rendering instead of relying on Samsung's automatic inversion
