I tried the following condition in a new smart folder to show Samsung photo exclusively.

But it yields zero photo!

I have created similar smart folder before and they work. Here is an example:

Why smart folder fails for 'Samsung'? How can I fix it?

There are EXIF tags for both Camera Manufacturer and camera Model.

The example on wikipedia shows:

| Tag          | Value       |
|:-------------|------------:|
| Manufacturer |       CASIO |
| Model        |     QV-4000 |

It appears that the Photos Get Info panel is concatenating these two tags. But only the Camera Model is available for Smart Album filtering.

If you change your smart album to search for your camera model, SM-G950F, it should find the photos.

There does not appear to be a way to filter via the camera manufacturer, samsung.

I can confirm your findings with my FUJIFILM X100T.
