I would suggest that the Samsung A52 will work as well, I cant test mine for you but the it has NFC which works exceptionally well on it.

Not sure if you want all phones or just new ones as mine probably isn't sold any more.

Manufacturer : Motorola
Model : moto g(6)
Model number : XT1925-5.
OS : Android 9


A word of warning, I have a UK model which works well, but some models of this phone, including I believe the US version do not have NFC and hence do not work at all!

I have even seem some people say the UK Dual SIM Moto G6 Play does not have NFC, whereas the UK Single SIM version does!

Very confusing and I made sure when I was buying it that I could return it if it did not work with LibreLink.

It would be impossible for Abbott to test compatibility with all models of phones combined with all the versions of operating system.
If you have a phone working well with Libre 2 please add it to the thread. I will make a list when there are enough entries. The OS version is probably in settings / about.

Xperia XZ1 Compact (G8441)

Anyone tried with an Alcatel? It has NFC and the app loads ok but not tried with a sensor :)

Libre 2 with LibreLink works very well with iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 16.0.3 :)

Strange but true fact. There's not one 'rugged' phone which will work with Freestyle. I've made Abbot aware of this and told Cat as well . So no builders\farmers\outdoor types have Diabetes then.!

Can it be that's because the housing is too sturdy to let the NFC signal through?

Does anyone know if any of the Doogee phone's (of any type) are compatible with the freestyle libre 2 and the Omni pod dash system also? I'm confused trying to find the right phone that is compatible with both devices. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

My Samsung A21s (Android 12 ) works ok ish with libre 2 sensor, does need to be very still and correct angle but will scan through a thick winter coat. My phone contract is ending soon and I need a phone with more storage 32GB not enough anymore, so in a panic to find a newer model that will still work well. I don't have a libre 2 reader to fall back on.

I have ulefone Armour 8 pro that seems to work but not great. I keep getting re scan messages when trying go take a reading but it does work eventually. I think it's down to the app rather than the phone..

Galaxy A51 works well. My sister though has a galaxy A5 which doesn't work. After ringing libre help line they've confirmed it won't work and are sending her a reader to read her sensor libre 2

Been a long time since this topic was started.

But I can from my own experience say the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 & successor 10+ works well…
I use old phones. (Cheaper.)

Beast of a battery life too..

Since I am using a closed-loop system with AndroidAPS for my child, the size of the phone is important. Previously, I used a Cubot Mini 3, which worked well, but it has broken, and now I am in search of a new one.
