The Samsung table has been rock solid in use. I've been flying the Mavic 3 with it for nearly a year. No problems updating the Fly app. No freeze-ups or other issues during flight. The tablet or phone has nothing to do with transmission between the controller and the drone. It runs all the other apps I use for flying without issues too - B4YouFly, online sectional charts, weather services, ... The design is a few years old, but it's handled everything I've thrown at it. I can see no real benefit to be had for updating to a newer model.OK but for whatever reason it's not showing all the specs on Amazon anyway. Is it 4gb RAM and 64 bit. I see the one you linked is 32 gig. I would probably grab the 64 at least but I guess my questions for you are, have you used it quite a bit with fly app and no issues. eg. freezes or loss of transmission at long distance? Brightness is nice and I have to wonder at this price is it respectable anyway? Tha KS a bunch for any input. I definitely appreciate all you folks
I've had several Samsung tablets in the past and I've been pleased with them all. The big screen is a real plus when looking for details in the landscape and it's nice when someone is looking over your shoulder.
The one downside is the screen brightness. It's not going to compete with a Tripletek in that department, but then again, it's a small fraction of the cost. It's served me well. There's certainly no brightness issue in the shade and I've found it's usable in bright midday sun on the Gulf Coast. Wear a big hat and put the controller in your own shadow.
