Compatibility Chart – Tempest Clock

Compatibility Chart

Tempest makes use of your phone’s own Gyroscope sensor, so that the base itself needs no electronics or batteries! As long as your phone has a Gyroscope, it will work (iOS & Android).

Use the chart below as a guideline. There are thousands of Android phone models on the market, all the major ones are listed here, but if you don’t see yours listed below, click here to find your exact model, and scroll down to ‘Features’ to see if “Gyro” is listed. That’s all that’s required.
