Re: NX Mini and Wi-Fi / Android compatibility?

[...], but the Samsung NX-M 17mm F1.8 OIS is a real miracle of its kind, fast and sharp, very good in low light, and the camera is still pocketabale with it attached.

+1 for the 17mm.  That lens pretty much lives on one of my minis (I keep my second one setup with the 50-200mm and the NX-M adapter).

My only gripe with the mini is that the wifi software is useless on a modern phone, so I have to use an old samsung tablet to control it remotely.

I have to admit, I haven't used the Wi-Fi software since Android 6 (on my previous phone) and it just worked, splendidly.  Samsung's app implementation was better than most other brands IMO -- easy to use and intuitive.   I just got a new phone that has Android 9.0.  Based on your comment, I am guessing the app will not work with Android Pie.

Does anyone know which versions number of Android Samsung cameras will still work?

If they can at least do Android 7.x, I have a couple of old tablets I can use for remote viewfinders... but I did use wireless transfer quite a bit from my NX mini to my old Honor 5x (Android 6).  It would be a shame to lose wireless transfer.
