It will need NFC. A quick look on Google says that A12 does not support NFC so that wouldn't work.Hi I'll soon be starting on libre 2 and wish to upgrade my phone. The list on the libre site are all obsolete models.
Will any old smart phone work? The Samsung A12 for instance?

When I said it didn't have NFC in an earlier post, it seems the Google hit that told me that was wrong. As a new phone it should have an up to date Android version so it sounds like a good bet.I've just been on the Samsung website for the A12 it shows NFC & Bluetooth v5
Does this mean its good to go?
What happened when you tried to download LibreLink?I have bluetooth and NFC but unable to get libre link on my phone - although I could download libre linkup - that is of no use to me.
Just said not compatible. Frustrating but will borrow one from a grandchild! I have a new camera that uses NFC so at least it works with that - all clever stuff.What happened when you tried to download LibreLink?
These are the main points. You should also check the android versions as it might be that really old android versions don't support the new libre link app updates.For starters you need
- to be able to install the LinkLink app
- to have NFC for scanning the sensor
- to have bluetooth to receive the alerts
There may be some more details but these points are easy to check.
I have run mine on an Honor 10 and a Pixel 5 with no trouble but not tried a Samsung
Yes good point, I've always been able to scan with my phone through clothes (including thick down winter jacket) but just have to deliberately hold the phone over the sensor. With the reader they always talk about just 'swiping' and my DSN was adamant phones couldn't scan through clothes until I showed her!Started week 3 of libre, first 14 days with l Libre 1 starter pack posted to me by DSN,
Prescription for libre 2 sensors, my J3pro 2017 wasn't compatible with loved link app, I've upgraded to a Samsung A21s this works well but you need to be sure to hold it directly over the sensor and don't move untill after the second tone, or you get a sensor error message.
My Samsung galaxy a12 works with the sensor and librelinkHi I'll soon be starting on libre 2 and wish to upgrade my phone. The list on the libre site are all obsolete models.
