Hey everyone, I cycle through phones quite a bit and thought it would be helpful for public posterity to have an update on phone compatibility. Abbott has a semi up-to-date compatibility list as of the beginning of 2018, but to my knowledge it hasn't been updated accurately and it's certainly not caught up with all the latest and greatest Android devices. Unfortunately, their customer service is well-meaning, but they have no idea what I'm talking about when I ask about software and OS compatibility.
FWIW, I'm an American living in Sweden, so I have access to US and EU app stores.
Devices I've Personally Tested:
- Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (8.0 Oreo, EU/Exynos version) - Works perfectly
- HTC U11 (8.0 Oreo, EU Version) - Works perfectly
- Huawei Mate 10 Pro (8.0 Oreo, EU Dual-sim version) - Works perfectly
- Google Pixel 2 (8.1 Oreo, US Version) - Does not work reliably, 1/10 scans work
Please add to this thread with any other device details you may have. Hopefully this will help other Librelink/Freestyle users avoid purchasing phones that aren't yet compatible with the sensors.
In particular, I'm curious if anyone running Android Oreo 8.1 is able to use Librelink. If you have a Oneplus 6, Samsung Galaxy s9 or s9+ for example, please share your experience. I'd ask that you include the Make, model, Android OS version, and country where you live as some manufacturers like Samsung use different hardware in different countries.
Thanks!
Edit: Added link to Abbott compatibility list. Note that for Android devices, only phones running Nougat (Android 7.0) are listed as being officially supported, which is not accurate.
