Suitable Budget Android Phone for my DJI Mini 2?

If you wait a while when the Mi Store begins reductions you can get this phone for as little as £114, but usually around £130 on special offer direct from manufacturer and honestly it’s a really capable phone. Works with DJI Fly app fine.

Hi, I could download the DJI app but then it went into ‘staging’ and then I clicked on install but it failed, tried 3 times but no luck.
Any thoughts?

Is the Mi store available via Amazon ?

They are but uncertain if they price-match their own offers directly from their own website. Prices are high at the moment too … always the way when you want to purchase isn’t it. Good phone though if you can happen across one.

Thanks, I’ll keep a look out for this.

Not thought of that, but a good suggestion, especially with the possible phone/ text/ message interruptions while flying.
Would the 10" tablet fit onto the cradle / holder of my controller ?

Tablet holder adaptors are available for all drone types
Amazon.co.uk?

As an extra ‘anti-drop measure’, I stuck velcro strips on my holder and on the tablet



Thanks for this !

My partner has a little used Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 from 2016 going spare running Android 8.1 I think and with Google Play Store on it, but will it work ?
Thanks for the photos and you tip, most useful.

Well it costs nothing to download the DJI app to it and try it out
Downloads page: DJI Mini 2 - Downloads - DJI

Hi again, sorry to be a pain. I’ve downloaded it and it has gone to ‘staging’ , I’ve clicked on ‘install’ and it starts to do this but then tells me it has failed to install, don’t know why.

The device needs to be 64bit with 4GB of Ram

Use this to find the information

If thats the case then you’d be looking at a ‘Fire HD’ tablet which is 64 bit and has at least 3Gb ram
8" Fire HD = £99
…or around half that price when its on offer

Seems like I’m getting the answers for my needs, thanks again, this group has been very helpful to me as a complete novice to all things drone related.

I use for my mini 2 and mini 3 a : Huawei MediaPad M5- BAH-W19 - 64GB/4GB Ram 10.1 in WIFI Tablet… Really bright screen … worth checking out. The last one I bought from ebay used was £82 … fantastic…

Thanks for that skeeby.

If it helps anyone, I see that amazon are selling refurbished 10" Fire HD tablets for £74 this evening (2021 model - The same one I use with my M2Z)
