What Android Tablet are You Using With Your Mini?

[Gandalf00]

My Google Pixel phone works fine with my Mini, but I'd like something with a larger screen. What Android tablet are you using and how do you like it? Please no iPad discussions. This is not meant to knock Apple, but me and Apple products do not get along very well.

I was in the exact same boat as you just a few weeks ago, so I started a thread.

Can't win for losing on this Android tablet situation.

I have had more stress in the past few days trying to solve the problems of my android tablets not connecting.....than I had after my first mavic air dropped the signal and peaced out to parts unknown. This past Sunday, I purchased the Samsung Tab A 8.0 (wifi only) after seeing all the rave...

Exactly the same situation...hated Apple... etc. But I couldn't possibly be happier with running the Fly App on an iPad Pro 10.5. After dealing with all the crap from Android tablets...taking 2 back...I just bit the bullet and went for it.

Make sure to disregard any comments from anyone that is NOT running the Fly App. Different machines only work with certain apps and they are not interchangable.

Thanks I'll check out your thread. My concern in buying an iPad is that I'll use it only to fly my mini. Except for the screen size, I am very happy with my Pixel and don't really look forward to trying to learn and live with yet another "ecosystem".

Hauwai Mediapad M5 pro or light work well.

Thanks. Seems like a lot of folks like the Huawei's for drone flying.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" SM T-290 works and only costs $183 Cdn at Costco. It runs 64 bit Android and so can also run DJI Fly. Note that Android devices will draw just under 500mA from your controller. the solution is a power bank and OTG cable. ( Lekufee bracket with Velcro on back to hold power bank.)
