Hey all, new member here.
I've been thinking about pre-ordering the Gear S3. However, I've been trying to find information about compatibility with non-Samsung devices (I'd like to avoid buying a Galaxy if at all possible). Here's what I understand so far:
- No Samsung Pay without a Samsung phone
- No/Limited calls without a Samsung phone
Now here's where it gets tricky. On Sammy's official S3 page, they have this compatibility chart:
Samsung Pay is supported by "Other Android Phones", and fully - no little caveat number on it. Everywhere else seems to imply that you have to have a Galaxy phone to use Pay. Second question: if I can't use Samsung Pay, will the S3 work at all with just Android Pay? I would assume it would--that would be a major gaff on Samsung's part.
