Samsung s7 edge

[simons]

Hi all

Just bought a mavic mini then found out that a Samsung Galaxy s7 edge is not comparable? I have read a few posts but all seem to be a couple of years old. Can anyone confirm that my phone is not comparable with the software. Many thanks.

If you see DJI Fly in the Google Play store and can install it, it should work.

If your phone doesn't work, you will need to try another phone, from the DJI list, or off the list, but it is always a hit or miss, my LG V20 is on the list but was not working right with the MM.
I have tested this Xiaomi, and it is working fine with the Mavic Mini, for not too much money, and is a pretty darn good phone as well.

Thanks for your replies. I have tried another phone and my ipad which works, unfortunately my s7 edge does not work after downloading the app. Which I had

Perhaps it is my phone or software which has an issue? Thanks for confirming that s7 edge works.

I have the Galaxy S7 and in the past it has crashed quite frequently and the video display would tend to stutter more than I would like. Looking at smart phone benchmark data, it appears the S7 is on the low side of having enough performance to run the DJI Fly app. To address this I have adopted a few practices:
- Turn off video caching in the app
- Terminate any other apps running in the background.
- Run the Android optimization in the system settings.
- Put the phone in airplane mode
Since updating to the latest version of the app and firmware, along with the practices above, I have not had any further issues. I suspect going forward, by the time I upgrade my drone and its app again, it will be time to upgrade my phone. In the future I will look for something a bit more future proof in terms of its performance.

The Samsung Galaxy Edge S7 has different models with different chipsets based on geography.
I suspect all the US snapdragon 820 cpu models will work but the exynos models won't.
The Op might have a Ekynos chipset model as he is based in the UK, DJI have always had compatibility issues with the Ekynos models in the Samsung phone range

The model number of your Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge (SM-G930* and SM-G935*) could be different from others. Let's see what variant and CPU you will get.

That would make sense. My working phone is the SM-930A (US AT&T version) which according to the chart in your link has the Snapdragon chipset.
