I know, I know. This subject has been discussed 1000000x times. But at this point I would welcome any 1st hand experience/feedback on a phone upgrade compatible with my Mavic Air 2.
The following parameters/notes should ideally help with your reply, as my goal is to purchase a phone that works with Verizon Wireless:
1.) From my own experience Samsung makes quality phones and I've been using my Galaxy S7 up until recently (phone is starting to die/malfunction/low battery life) -- So Samsung is where I want to ideally stick with, although I'm open to more outside quality suggestions.
2.) Having spent the better half of the day researching I've looked at Best Tablets and Phones for DJI GO & DJI Fly (Updated Daily) | Phantom Help & The Latest DJI Fly (DJI Air 2S / DJI Mini 2 / Mavic Air 2) Compatible Device list | Cult of Drone. If there's another list I should review please let me know!
3.) Based on the above lists, I've somewhat narrowed it down to the following: Samsung Galaxy S10+, Samsung Galaxy A51, Samsung Galaxy A71, Samsung Galaxy S10, Samsung Galaxy A70.
4.) At first I was leaning towards the A51, since other posts on this forum seemed to praise it for compatibility with the DJI Fly app; but I found online reviews saying how it would stop working as well after only a few months and would easily crack/become damaged. The other phones have pros and cons for each, but my biggest concern would be the longevity of the phone, (mine is from 2016 after all). So if I can get 4+ good years out of this new purchase, that would be ideal.
5.) Again, I'm sorry for repeating this age-old question on the forums but would be incredibly appreciative of your thoughts as I love flying my drone and recently got my 107 license.
Thanks Mavic Pilots!!
