A:AnswerOur most popular speakers for Android speakers are our SoundTouch and SoundLink speakers.

SoundLink speakers would be best for customers who want a speaker to take with them on the go.

A:AnswerThe two speakers are similar, the series III model has an 8 pin dock connector that is compatible with the current generation of iPods and iPhones.
A:AnswerHello Constance. The Bose SoundDock III has a 3.5mm AUX input on the back that you can use to connect non-Apple audio devices such as your Samsung Galaxy 4 by using the 3.5mm headphone output.
