Samsung a21s or a50 for DJI sky app?

[Shane034]

Hi guys,
Just after a cheap handset for my controller and the two that looked like being acceptable are the Samsung a21s and the a50.

Which of these 2 would you recommend for the mini? (Other cheap android recommendations welcome too)

Thanks

I can't recommend one over the other because I've never used the A50. But my wife switched from the Samsung A20 to the A21, and both of them work great with the Mavic Mini. So I can say the A21 works well.

I looked at those, too, as well as the A50s. The A21s screen is only 1600x720, which is rather low resolution for a 6.5" screen, so I've ruled that one out. The A50 is 2220x1080 (so full 1080p for video), and the screen is slightly brighter (although probably not enough to make much difference). The A50s is 2340x1080, and it has a better camera (32MP) and somewhat faster CPU, and it doesn't cost much more (if you shop around -- I saw one for $229, new, on eBay), so that's the one I'm leaning toward. I would expect all 3 will run DJI Fly about the same -- the specs are fine: they're all 64-bit Android 9 with a minimum of 4GB RAM (6GB and 8GB also available).
