Will a Samsung Galaxy Watch 5/6 work with non-samsung android smartphone? I mean does all features like ECG/Sleep tracking work out of the box? Or does sideloading the samsung monitor app ensure all the features would work just as it would with a samsung phone? Planning to buy one for my mom with Xiaomi Smartphone:) Also need suggestions for watch 5 vs 6. Edit 1: Buying in India #nutrition #galaxy #samsung #smartwatch #android
Honestly, Samsung watch doesn't work well with Samsung phones as well. It's terrible product. For example: you put it to charge. Once charged, you put it on the wrist and start it. It takes years to start. If you forget to unlock it, the watch will run out of battery within an hour or so. All health features are gimmicks. I don't recommend samsung smartwatches.
