You will need either  a google pixel or a Samsung android device to  make use of either  these   cgm systems either  abbot frestyle libre 2 or 3 or dexcom g 6 or 7.   These two android device manufacturers from google and Samsung , all health companies have in house and can develop  and  test on .

Hello,
The free style does not support the stylus either.
I think its probably worth changing phones, at least if a cgm is that important!

They do the samsungs, Google pixels, but not the stylus. Sorry. Not sure exactly just how to help you. Maybe somebody else here can figure this out.
