I bought the Tripltek Pro. Sure it isnt' the latest tech, but it is 64 bit, has a battery to save all batteries (I can literally charge my remote with it, then fly, it's 10,000 mah). and the 1200 screen is brighter than my Galaxy S10 (which claims 1200 NITs). And the screen size is great, it is also ruggedized, meaning it can take a fall or 10 without much damage as long as it doesn't hit the screen, or land in snow without concern.
Not being an apple fan, and preferring android, this was definitely the way to go. It is heavy, and required a tablet mount, and I have the DJI Shoulder harness/lanyard which takes the strain off your neck and places it on your shoulders. I have used DJI Fly, Go4, DroneDeploy, Litchi, and Measure Ground Control and all work flawlessly (faster and easier than my Galaxy S10). And I have it just use my cell phone as a Wifi hotspot when it needs to get online if I am not at home. The Tripltek is purpose built for drones.
Dual purposing, one issue I hated when using my phone, is getting notifications or calls when I was flying. At the wrong time it can really cause a panic, so I actually prefer to get it online, download maps, etc, and then switch off wifi. I use mine solely for flights, so I don't have to do that on this one, but my phone and other tablets before this, I used airplane mode on them once I was ready to take off.
