What tablets are compatible with DJI Mini

[Don Renaud]

I just received my DJI Mini and when I tried to down load the DJI Fly app
I was informed that my tablet about 4 years old was not compatible

I really don't want to spend a lot right now

Any recommendations for 8" tablets that work, would be appreciated

Cheers

Look for a used iPad mini4 if you don’t mind iOS.

Just got a Samsung 8" Galaxy Tab A, model SM-T290NZKCXAR . On sale at Costco for $109. Had to sideload DJI Fly, so far seems to work fine.

If you are not in the States I can recommend the Huawei media pad 5. Great screen that is quite bright, I find it so much easier than using my phone.

I cant even get the Fly app to side load on my Samsung Tab A. It starts to load then fails every time.

Is it the 290 series? That is the most recent.

The Fly app downloads and works fine on my Lenovo Tab4 plus 8.

I've got a Samsung S2 t710 tablet, DJI Fly is not compatible, ... how do you "sideload"? Thanks for any advice.
It's inconsistent because DJI Fly with install and run on my Samsung Note 5 and that is the same vintage, annoying as hell...

How much better is iPad mini 5 gen Vers mini 4?
Contemplating buying a 5 gen?

how do you "sideload"?

You can sideload the APK like this.

The easiest way to narrow down your choices is specs. For android, has to be at least android 6 and has to be 64bit. That's it as far as I'm aware.

I believe it also needs 4gb of ram.

I think your right about the 4GB of ram requirement, my Samsung S2 tablet has 3GB and even the sideload attempts fail

My Galaxy Tab A 8" has 2 GB RAM and it sideloaded fine (nothing too difficult, just have to make sure your tablet can load outside apps, go to DJI's website and download the appropriate .apk)
I have connected the tablet with everything and started up the drone inside/saw the camera feed, but haven't had a chance to actually fly it. Plan to do that tomorrow and post an update.
I think only the latest (290 series) Tab A will work. Not sure about the S2 - is it 64 bit with a 64 bit OS?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 is 64 bit..... might have to flip it and get a used IPad mini 4

Still could be running 32bit OS even the architecture is 64bit
