A:AnswerIbt97 is Bluetooth technology and the Ibn97 is not. Ibt97 charges through a USB port in the back of the system and plays your music through Bluetooth or an aux cord. It also will make and receive calls through the system via Bluetooth. The Ibn97 has a charging dock the phone plugs into and if I'm not mistaken is a triple charging system with two charging docks and the USB port on the back of the system.
A:AnswerYes 1 USB port on the back (easy to access). It will charge iPhones and tablets. I charge my Note4 with it. You can use a multiport USB thing on it to give 2, 4, 6, or 8 ports.
Probably great for you.
A:AnswerYes it does. And you can actually speak on your phone call from the speakers which also have a mic.
Its connected through your bluetooth. Once connected, and sound on your phone will come through the speakers of the appliance
A:AnswerOne of my co-workers has a Samsung (not Galaxy though). He was able to connect. As long as your phone is Bluetooth enable, you should be able to pair to it.
