Android did not offer any support for USB audio until Android 5 (Lollipop), and USB audio device support in Android 5 was very limited.
To use a Samson USB product with an Android mobile device, you may need to use a third party app. We recommend USB Audio Recorder PRO from eXtream Software Development.
USB Audio Player Pro-App is not a generic driver, you can only playback and record from within this app. It is not possible to use your USB audio device with other apps!

In order to connect your Samson USB microphone to your Android device, you will probably need a USB OTG cable.
If you need additional power, you can use a powered USB hub.

Tested on Samson C01U Pro
SAMSON XPD1 Does it work with android? WINDOWS 7?
I got it working on my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus with the app "Open Camera". This app allows an external audio source to be used for audio input while shooting video!

You say to try connecting these mics to a USB powered hub, but don't explain how that works exactly. I doubt you can just plug your phone into a hub, the mic into another port of the hub and then the hub into a power source. How does your phone know to use the hub as an interface and recognise the mic?
Any help would be much appreciated please.
Thanks for this.
I have been playing some mind games using Samson audio and its really fun.
This sounds very nice. Actually, I have been using a few Samson audio products for my Android device but just wondering if these can work compatibly with any high end Symbian devices such as PureView 808. I know there is a huge difference between Android and Symbian OS as listed here but still I feel there must be a way to incorporate such systems to outdated smart devices.
