Where Does Samsung Internet Store Data on Android?
Samsung Internet keeps history and cookies in /data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrowser, which needs root. Downloads land in Download.

Samsung Internet follows Android scoped storage, so its database never appears in shared folders. History, cookies, and tabs sit in the private sandbox at /data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrowser. Without root you cannot browse there.
Downloads are the exception. Those go to the shared Download folder where every file manager sees them. For migration, Samsung Smart Switch or the in-app bookmark export beats any file copy.
Where Samsung Internet stores this, by platform
/data/data/com.sec.android.app.sbrowser
Private sandbox with history, cookies, and tabs. Needs root to browse. Use the browser settings or Smart Switch for migration, not this path.
/storage/emulated/0/Download
Default download target. Visible to every file manager without special access.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Samsung Internet bookmarks to a new phone?
Use Settings inside Samsung Internet to export bookmarks, then import on the new phone. Copying the private data folder needs root and breaks across reinstalls because Android re-keys the sandbox.
Where are my Samsung Internet downloads?
Open the system Files app and check Download. Samsung Internet saves there by default. The app-private folder needs root, so the Download folder is the practical route.
Why is the Samsung Internet folder missing from Android/data?
That folder is the app sandbox and Android hides it from file managers without root. Reach history and bookmarks through the browser UI instead of the filesystem.
