It works with LG, Nokia, and Sony phones too
I purchased this buds specially for my Samsung Note 8 and LG G3. I have had Bose IE series for years, but one of the complaints is lacking volume control for Android devices.
I have several Samsung buds with mic+remote and tested them with LG G3 and all buttons work. Naturally, this buds remote works with LG G3 and now I don't have to take the phone out just for adjusting volume.
Out of curiosity, I tested the buds with different brands and models and found out it works with Sony (not Sony Ericsson) phones (I tested it with Xperia Ion) and everything works perfectly. The following models I tested and works as well
LG G2, G Flex, L90, Nexus 5
ZTE Max
I did not test Motorola phone because T-Mobile does not sell any.
Unfortunately, this bud does not work with HTC M8.
If you want a Bose buds and you want all buttons work with Samsung, LG, and Sony phones, buy it.
-----edit-----

Samsung (Android and Windows Phone)
Sony (Z Ultra, Xperia Ion, Z2)
