Hello. I was wondering if anyone knew if the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Phone work with the Square?

I can definitely help out with this question!

To get going, the Square magstripe and chip card readers are compatible with most Apple iOS and Android devices running the latest software versions.

On the flip side, we don't currently support the following:

BlackBerry devices
Windows devices
Non-mobile devices, such as laptop and desktop computers
Unreleased or beta software versions for your device
Amazon Kindle devices

To confirm if your exact device is supported, just visit Square's Device Compatibility page.

@painter - On a side note, it looks like you won't have any problems with the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. 😉

What Android phones work with your new reader?

smiganh — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 18:37:19 GMT

To Square

From [readacted personal information]

I received your new chip reader late February just before I left the country. I have returned and contacted Verizon my cell carrier to see if my current cellphone can handle your new system. They told me my phone is not capable to handle your system.

I need to know what Android phones are capable primarily I am interested in Samsung as I have had my current phone for years and am happy with the Samsung products.

What capability does a new phone need to work with your new program?

Please advise should I delete my current Square app before I download the new software?

Thank you

I know that you provided some information at the end of 2015. It was also stated that there would be more updates when they occurred. I was hoping you had an updated list by now. Also, some of my questions were never addressed in your reply such as what IOS would my new phone need, do I need to remove my current square app before I download your up-to-date version. Please advise! Thank you Joe Smiga.

@smiganh Check out the information in this thread, or head over to our Device Compatibility page to check if your device works.

You don't necessarily need to remove the current Square App to update, you can do this from the app store.

Is the LG G5 phone compatible with the square?

Re: Hardware

Sean — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:05:03 GMT

@tmcphoto - It doesn't look like we have any testing data on this exact device. Having said that, it does look like the reader has been compatible with each of the older generations of this phone model. You'll have to check it out, and then let us know!

@windhorse - It doesn't look like we explicitly support this device. While it looks like it would meet our basic requirements, you'd have to test it out to know for sure.
