lenovo m10 3rd gen vs samsung a9

[Chapperz]

Hi everyone
I'm not a very tight budget so can only afford one of the following

lenovo m10 3rd gen vs samsung a9

I will only be using it for the dji mini 3 Pro and nothing else

Hopefully someone uses one of these and can offer some advice on which one is the best and why

Thanks in advance

Regards

Lenovo M10 gen3. Used exclusively as the flight screen with both GO4 and FLY installed. Good sized screen and enough processing grunt to handle both apps. Can be a bit difficult to see the display in bright sunshine, but that's true with most tablets.

Thanks... That's the one I was towards because it has a sim slot but after digging further, the honor apparently has more processing power, is bigger and higher nits. I'm still learning towards the lenovo though because of the sim and it definitely works with the fly app

Thanks again

Sim ??
What would you need a sim for?
It's completely unnecessary and won't do anything to improve your flying experience.

Internet connection.

Internet connection.

For the rare times when you might need an internet connection, the quick and easy method is to hotspot from your phone.

Good point... I've actually ordered a honor x8a. Not sure I have made the right decision though. Might cancel / send it back and get the lenovo m10 3rd gen

Hi again

Does the controller gps and compass work with the lenovo m10 3rd gen?

Hi again

Does the controller gps and compass work with the lenovo m10 3rd gen?

With android? Yeah... The Lenovo doesn't have a magnetic sensor built in, so independent compass apps won't work, but both the GO4 and the FLY app display position and heading accurately because that info is transmitted by the drone to the controller, the app displays the info it receives from the controller.

Ahhhhh so built in compass and GPS in the drone isn't necessary because the rc-n1 has a compass and GPS?

Ohhh I see now... I have been looking for a tablet with GPS and compass because I want everything to work as the RC does whereby I can see what way I am facing

Thinking about it, compass isn't really needed for the rc-n1 and tablet. It's just gps that's needed for rth right?

All the sensors are built into the drone: GPS (position), compass (heading), barometer (altitude). The drone gathers the data for GPS, heading and height above takeoff point as it flies and this is transmitted to the controller.

The physical location of the controller is determined by the GPS position gathered by the phone connected as the flight screen device (but only if the screen device is connected to a mobile phone network (if it has a SIM) or if it is connected to a hotspot provided by a mobile phone.

Phones get their coarse/acquisitioning GPS position by using the mobile network masts (triangulation). This is a completely different and independent system to the drone/controller.

The 'home point' used as your RTH location is supplied by the drone before it takes off (once it connects with the satellite group overhead).

No and no and the RC-N1 has neither a compass or a GPS receiver.
When you use an RC-N1, the app uses the compass and GPS receiver that are in your phone or tablet.
But those aren't necessary for flying.
They are simply for convenience so the app knows which way you are pointing to align the map or radar display properly.
And the GPS receiver can be used if you want to reset your homepoint to the current location of the controller.

Your drone needs its compass and GPS.
The controller doesn't need them at all for you to be able to fly.

The only GPS receiver that can tell where your drone is, is the GPS receiver in your drone.
That GPS receiver is the one that records the homepoint.

This is not true.
The controller and any GPS receiver attached work perfectly well without any connection to a mobile phone network or internet connection.

Try looking through the LDM settings before you pass definitive judgement on whether someone is right or wrong.

As I stated clearly... This is a completely separate and independent system.

E.O.C.

Why would they put GPS receivers in phones if they don't use them for location data?
How would they get location data when away from phone networks?
The fact is that they can get approximate location data from the phone system to speed up GPS acquisition, but they use a GPS receiver for accurate location data.

I thought you had me on ignore?

You said:

And that's incorrect.

It's hard to see any relevance in your mention of LDM setttings.

Ahhhhh... How does the update home point work if it's the drone giving the home point position?

Also, the tablet I'm looking at uses a dedicated gps so no need for data connection.
