What phone / tablet do you use?

Hello.. I’ve been flying with my Xiaomi Redli 5 plus, and no issues so far; however, I’m thinking to get a larger screen phone or tablet, also a device dedicated to drone flying (I have as well a bebop2 power).
Right now thinking on a Lenovo Tab 4 8” screen. I has 2 GB ram and 16 sotorage than can be increased up to 256 GB. What do you think?

Not sure on lenovo, but my galaxy tab A does not handle flying the mantis. I would recommend something with 4GB of Ram and at a minimum quad core processor. The tab a wound skip on video transmission and decoding. My iPhone 6s and Galaxy S7 both do well flying the mantis.

@Scijohn23 what behavior is what you're experiencing with the galaxy tab? Skipping video and transmission issues?
Thanks

Primarily it is video lag. When panning around or moving the gimbal the video is choppy and routinely just fuzzes up. It didn’t pose any noticeable control issues and still photos once downloaded from the SD card were fine.

I use a Xiaomi Mi A1 and no problem .

Thanks Scijohn23, I guess I need to expand the search for tables to go that route, My phone works fine, but wanted a larger screen
