Cheapest host phone for Gear S

[daniel121487]

For receiving emails on the Gear S a connection to the Samsung phone is required. The Gear S will do this through mobile data. What (older) Samsung phone would just be good enough to qualify for this host role and stay at home (connected through wireless)? What software does it need to have in order to install the Samsung Gear app?

The lowest/oldest Samsung phone that is supported is Galaxy S3.

Yup, you can pick up a used one for well under $100.
