The gentiles were any people that were not Israelites. So anyone that was not from the nation of Israel was considered a gentile. The Samaritans on the other hand were a people resulting from the intermixing of Israelites and Canaanites. During the Assyrian captivity some of the Israelites were left in the region of Samaria (the former capital of Israel). There were not a sufficient number of Israelites to remain separate and perpetuate the people so they intermarried with the native people of Canaan. This intermarriage was not allowed by Jewish law. Since the Samaritans had intermarried the Jewish people rejected them as Israelites. This lead the Samaritans to set up a temple of their own on Mt Gerazim. This caused an additional reason for the reject of the Samaritans by the Jewish people (who claimed that all must worship at the temple in Jerusalem).

What is the difference between Christians and gentiles?
Generally speaking gentiles are people that are not Jewish. However that is with the exception of some Jews that are also Christians. Normally, in the New Testament at least, the contrast is made between Jews (God's chosen people) and Gentiles (Non-Jews). Most Christians are in fact Gentiles at the same time, so the two groups are not exclusive. The same would apply to Jewish Christians. Of course it must not be forgotten that many Gentiles are also not Christian and so there would be a difference in terms of them accepting or not accepting Jesus Christ.
