I can't seem to find the official support phone model for Gear S on Samsung website. Anyone know where I could find one?
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=47237
........Gear S requires pairing with Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport, Samsung Galaxy Note II, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 or Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
Hi everyone, I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to.
I have a Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925I), and one of the main reasons I bought it is because of the incoming release of Samsung Pay in Brazil, my country. But, our local Samsung branch claims the S6 and S6 Edge variants sold here lack support for MST, and consequently, Samsung Pay.
Compatibility
The Samsung Pay only works on some of Samsung's high-end smartphones, in addition to one or other intermediary. MST we have the Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge + and intermediate Galaxy A, in addition to the new S7 and S7 Edge. (Interestingly, the service was announced by the Galaxy S6, but Samsung says that the Brazilian version has no MST, only NFC.)

The S6 Edge+ (SM-G928G), Note 5 (SM-N920G) and A7 2016 (SM-A710M) supposedly support the feature fine.
My question is: is it true? Does the G920I and G925I really lack this functionality? Or is it some corporate BS to push their newest devices?
Is there any way I can tell if my phone supports MST?
Bump
I guess no one knows, due to the lack of answers?

Samsung officially responded to this. According to the information provided, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5 will unfortunately not receive the Android Nougat update. It should be noted here that Samsung has made a special campaign for the S5 and Note 4 owners to pass on to the next generation of devices, while the tests show that their performance for Nougat is inadequate.
According to Samsung official information, the Galaxy E series and the Galaxy Alpha, the forerunner of the A series, will also not receive the Android Nougat update.
maybe they will skip 6.0 and go straight to 7.1.1 for the Alpha, just like they skipped 5.1.1 lol

clearly you did not understand the joke, but even though a joke and even though Alpha users have lost their hope as long as Samsung doesn't confirm that they will not be releasing an update for ALPHA there is place for hope, I mean the S5 Mini finally got it, we're next.

sorry, I always get a little angry in the morning
Samsung disappointed me very much.
I bought a premium smartphone and received only one update and remains far behind with version 5.0.2.
Note 4 is still powerful enough to handle nougat, but Samsung will not update it due to business logics
My last device from samsung.
Its february 28th and im not still getting update on s6
Not quite sure what this thread has to do with the galaxy alpha and it seems to be turning into a sammy bashing thread so I'm going to close this up

For the time being it seems the Gear S2 and Gear S3 won't be affected as they are not explicitly mentioned. Samsung also says that all current Samsung 2020 smartphone models will still be compatible with the entire Gear lineup
