I've finally got funding for the Omnipod 5 and Libre 2 Plus closed loop system. I'm looking to buy a new android phone and the Samsung Galaxy S23 is compatible. Is anybody out there successfully using that combination?? Thank you.
 
As far as I'm aware the phone ap isn't available for European users yet, we're still using the supplied handset. Hoping later this year, I'm holding off until it's rolled out before I change my phone.

Preferably I'd like a smart watch too to display my BG.
 
No compatible phones. Libre 2+ only links to one device and that's the omnipod controller.
 
I moved on to O5 with Dexcom G6 and a Samsung s23 three weeks ago. My blood sugars are on the S23 and on the PDM which as someone said, is the only way currently to manage the O5 but it all works reasonably ok. I have a FitBit Versa to display sugar too. Hopefully the O5 phone app that is available in the US might be available here one day!

I use a galaxy A34 that works well, no issues at all. I bought it off Amazon for £200 at the time as it was a lot cheaper than a monthly deal.
 
I've just got a FreeStyle Libre 2 Sensor and assumed that it would connect to a mobile, but I now wonder. It's a Pixel 7 pro; does anyone know if this is a compatible phone?

Thank Richard F you for this. I had been looking for a phone compatible with Dexcom and Omnipod. I even discussed with the Omnipod rep about needing a new phone. Then Cambridge stopped awarding Dexcom and I've got the Libre 2 plus. It was whilst talking to an American Omnipod adviser that I discovered it only worked with the handset. Thank goodness I didn't buy a new handset.

Eh? In UK: I have Libre 2+ connected to my Samsung Galaxy phone with a LibraLink app. I don't know what a "closed loop system" is though, so maybe I'm missing the point.
