I think my smartphone came in a bigger box

That’s only to try and justify their ridiculous price-tag. 
Same ridiculous cheap screwdriver I see. 
And hopefully it’s not the box making the annoying sound. 
I see one big selling issue with this Neo.
Like the Avata, it’s probably going to be more controllable/fun using a motion controller and goggles … and I’m guessing it will be compatible with recent models of each?
So, the non-Flymore makes more sense … but adding the motion controller and goggles is a shit load of money in comparison to the £169.
Confirmed compatible with Goggles 3 and Motion 3 controller 
Drone only with one battery and no controller
If one’s going for goggles/motion you only need Neo + a few batteries.
There is talk it will work with the RC-N2 controller

More aimed at them that already have the goggles and motion
£827 and then add care-refresh and more batterys
Disagree - they have an Avata - don’t really need Neo.
Neo+Goggles3+Motion3 = £827!!! (plus a few batteries, less discount from DSS).
That means Goggles+Motion are 80% of the cost.
The people attracted by the cheap £169 probably don’t have the additional £658. And it’s why I won’t be getting one.
Strange marketing.
The majority of the Avata flyers at the weekend were manual chaps
Although the 2 is very capable on the love toy

That’ll be because the Goggles and Motion controller are so expensive. #PointProven.
The neo with the love toy controller, will be ideal for those wet winter days, where is can be flown indoors.

The goggles 3 & MC3 come with the Avata 2 as standard and the Manual Controller is an additional £140.

DJI have today unveiled their latest drone!

Flight times of up to 18 minutes are possible with the compact batteries and convenient charging options. The Neo uses OcuSync 4 technology so you can be sure of a rock solid connection with the controller.
Two editions of the DJI Neo are available:

So I see you can use the phone to get the Neo to do things but can’t really tell if you can use the phone a bit like how you did with the Telo as a full controller as it seems you can just use it to do voice control stuff for the quick shots.
If you can use it without having a physical controller but just via phone then this could be quite a cool and useful drone for those that don’t have an OS4 compatible controller ( Mini 4 pro / Avata 2 etc )
Pitty Mini 3 controllers etc wont work with it or I would have one in my basket for sure.
Edit - I have just seen a video with the Drone Creative who shows that it can fly Telo style with little joysticks on screen on your phone - very cool
