Hi everyone, I am looking for a large phone or medium tablet that would only be used when flying my M2P (no SIM card or cell service needed, no watching Netflix, etc.) So that's why I don't want to spend a lot of money. Actually, $300 still seems like a lot to me, because I won't use it for anything besides flying the drone. I would prefer an Android product, but only because I am used to it and have never had an Apple device. And if my budget of $200-$300 isn't realistic, tell me; maybe I'm being too cheap. ???
My Google Nexus 5x phone is my old, spare phone and it's slowing down, and the DJI Go 4 App is starting to freeze a lot. But it's a spare phone, so it was convenient to use as the display.
My Google Pixel 3 phone was never compatible with the DJI controller (I've done SOOO MUCH research on this, and cannot get it to work!)
I have tried using an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8" and 10" tablet, which is nice because the screen is much larger, but the tablets are wayyyyyyy under-powered and it takes a long time for the DJI Go 4 app to actually open and connect to the drone, and it sometimes freezes during flight. ?
I have seen this list: Best Tablets and Phones for DJI GO & DJI Fly (Updated Daily) mentioned a lot. It is a huge list, and it gives lots of specs but no prices!
As far as screen size, I am hoping to get this display holder, so whatever size device can fit: Polar Pro Flight Deck
I really appreciate all recommendations! Something 7" or larger, and simple but secure (a name brand??) but enough power to run DJI Go 4 and not have worries about freezing during flight, or taking 5 minutes for the app to open and connect and give me the "GO FLY" button. Thank you very much!

P.S. - If anyone can help me get my Pixel 3 phone to work with the DJI controller, I would be so freakin' happy! I've tried several types of USB C cables. I've tried changing USB settings in the phone. I have adjusted "USB debugging" in the phone's developer options. I've read a few success stories with the Pixel 3, but it seems most people can't get it to work. I still want a larger device with a larger screen, but it'd be nice to have my Pixel 3 work, too.
