This post lists the DJI Fly app-compatible devices tells you how to check the compatibility of your phones or tablets, and helps you to choose the right one for your drone.
One of the most important things about flying your DJI Mini, Air, and Mavic drones is to make sure the smartphone or tablet you use is compatible with the DJI Fly App.
It not only ensures a better flying experience but will also save you from a possible drone crash or fly away, especially for beginner pilots. Just imagine, if your drone is miles away, suddenly the DJI Fly App freezes or quits unexpectedly, you might be getting a little bit of panic.
The DJI FPV drone also uses the DJI Fly app, though you don’t need the app to fly it, you still need to use it to activate the aircraft and the FPV Goggles before flying.

What phones and tablets are compatible with DJI Fly app?
How to know if my device is compatible
The easiest way is to check this DJI Fly Phone and Tablet compatibility list (DJI Fly works with DJI Mini 3 Pro, DJI Mavic 3, DJI Air 2S, DJI FPV, DJI Mini 2, Mavic Air 2, and Mavic Mini). All the phones and tablets in it are tested by both DJI and users. If so, you can set your mind at rest.
If not, you will need to make sure your phone or tablet:
1. Meets the system requirements of the DJI App. Here are the DJI Fly system requirements:
- iOS: Requires iOS 11.0 or above. (If your device can’t be updated to iOS 11, click here to download the DJI Fly iOS 10 version)
- Android: Requires Android 7.0 or above.
According to many users’ feedback, devices that run a 32-bit Android OS have compatibility issues, so Android devices also need to:
How to check if your Android device is 64-bit or 32-bit? There are two ways to do this:
1) Use the 64Bit Checker
3. Comes with ARM CPUs
If you follow the guide on how to check the Android OS, you will have already installed either the 64-Bit Checker or the AnTuTu Benchmark app.
If you go with the 64 Bit Checker, you can easily find the CPU info on the screen. For those who use the AnTuTu, just go to My Device > CPU, and you will see the information about your device’s CPU Architecture. The info needs to be written “ARM“.
Then you can download the DJI Fly App and have a try. Normally, you won’t have any issues, but you’d better keep your DJI Air 2S, DJI Mini SE, DJI Mini 2, Mavic Air 2, or Mavic Mini in the eyesight and fly it in an open area because users do have problems with phones that meet the App’s requirements.
If your phone or device doesn’t fall into the compatibility list or meet the system requirements, you will need to get a new one. Just choose one from the compatibility list according to your brand preference and budget.
DJI Fly Compatible Phones and Tablets
Please note that phones or tablets on the list are tested by both DJI and pilots. The ones in italic are tested by users, others are tested by DJI.
If you are flying your drone with an iPad or a Tablet, you will need to use a drone tablet holder.

DJI Mavic 3, DJI Air 2S, DJI Mini 3, DJI Mini 2, DJI Mini SE, Mavic Air 2, and Mavic Mini Compatible Android Phones and Tablets
Please note that:
1. There are too many different models of Android phones and tablets in the market, so the Android compatibility issue is much more complicated. If you find devices in the list that do not work, please let us know the details of the device’s specs.
2. DJI won’t test every single qualified phone in the market, it only tests those that have a relatively larger market share. This list includes devices that are tested by both DJI and drone pilots. The ones in italic are from users’ feedback, they should be no problem, but I still recommend you test it yourself.
3. The firmware released on Jan 14th, 2021 has solved the Android 10 compatibility issue.

Troubleshooting: DJI Fly Installation and Connection Issues
After I did some research on FB Mavic Mini groups and other drone forums, I found that a lot of Android users are experiencing compatibility issues because not every single Android phone or tablet is on DJI’s compatibility list.
Here are the most typical problems:
1. What is the best tablet for DJI Mavic 3, DJI Air 2S, DJI FPV, DJI Mini 2, DJI Mimi SE, Mavic Air 2, and Mavic Mini?
Currently, the iPad Mini 5 is considered to be the best tablet for DJI Mavic drones based on its price, compatibility, and size.
2. What tablets work with the DJI Fly app?
When it comes to DJI Fly compatible tablets, it’s a bit complicated as there are so many Android models out there. If you are looking for a new tablet to fly your drone, then just follow DJI’s recommend list. If you’ve already got a tablet, you will need to make sure it meets the system requirements.
3. What are the best DJI Fly settings for Mavic Air 2 and Mavic Mini?
DJI Fly is a new app that can only be used with Mavic Air 2 and Mavic Mini currently, Getting to know the new app thoroughly before flying is very important for safety and capturing better footage and photos. Here is a guide to DJI Fly’s in-depth review and best settings for Mavic Air 2 and Mavic Mini.
4. The App is not on the Google Play Store on your device.
Open your browser, and go to dji.com/fly to scan the QR code to download and install the app. If you have a problem installing the DJI Fly app, this post will help you out.
5. You failed to install DJI Fly or the app just doesn’t open after installing successfully.
When you are on the DJI Fly App page, you get a popup saying “This app is not compatible with your device“. First, go check your Android OS version: Settings > About Device > Android Version (this may vary according to different smartphone brands). If your device’s OS is under 7.0.0 and there is a system update available, go for it.
If your phone or tablet runs the Android 7.0 or above system but you still can’t install or launch the App, you will need to check your Android and CPU Architecture.
6. You have no problem launching the app but can’t connect the aircraft with the remote controller
- Try with another USB cable or remove and insert the USB cable again. It is recommended to use the original USB cable. If the original one is too short and you have to buy a new one, make sure it’s fully compatible.
- For Android devices, check whether the “USB debugging” is turned on. Then go to settings > Applications > Application manager, and select DJI Fly. Click “Set as default” and “Clear defaults”. Then reconnect the mobile device and launch DJI Fly.
- Update the firmware and the DJI Fly app. Do you have the latest version of DJI Fly? Have you updated the firmware? Make sure that you keep your firmware and DJI Fly up-to-date.

Hello i need to know if i can install DJY FLY in a MOTO G8+ . Does it has conection betwen the app and the controller? can somebody help me? because my phone is not working (Moto G5s+) and i have to buy a new one.
Thanks. Santiago lopez
Hi Santiago, will you be able to confirm with the seller about the Moto G8+’s specs so that you can know if it meets the system requirements of DJI Fly.
and did it work with motorola 8 plus?
Hey Santiago, it may be a bit late, but simply flashing/installing a 64bit ROM will enable you to install and use the DJI Fly app without any problem. Look for Pixel Experience ROM. It will install Android 10 onto your device and you will gain all of the latest features, as well as 64bit OS to run DJI Fly app.
Motorola Z3 funciona perfeitamente. Agora no Motorola Z2 não instala o App.
Samsung galaxy j5 2015
Does anyone know if the Nokia 6.0 phone works?
Hello i need to know if i can install DJY FLY in a MOTO G8+ . Does it has conection betwen the app and the controller? can somebody help me? because my phone is not working (Moto G5s+) and i have to buy a new one.
Thanks. Santiago lopez
Hello, Steve
Thank you very much for the update
Hello i Tried a Samsung A50 (from a friend) and i cant sync DJY FLY with the phone. Do you really test the djy fly wth Samsung A50? i can install the app but it says the is no controller conected. can somebody help me? because my phone is not working (Moto G5s+) and i have to buy a new one.
Thanks. Santiago lopez
Hi Santiago, The Samsung A50 was tested by one of the readers. If you have no problem installing the App, then it should be ok. Did you read the troubleshooting part about how to solve the connection issue?
thank you very much Steve.
Also add Samsung A10e to your list please.
Thank you
Thanks, Already updated the list.
A10e says not compatible when trying to download the app. So it Is ,but it isnt?
Hi Daniel, can you follow the instructions to check the A10e’s specs?
These are specs i found….. Octa-core, 1600 MHz, ARM Cortex-A73 and ARM Cortex-A53, 64-bit, 14 nm …….. should work right?
2 gigs of ram and Android (9.0 Pie) sorry should have mentioned it in last post.Thanx Steve
Why does it say not compatible on my a10e.?
Motorola moto g6 play please put on your next list
Thanks in advance
Hi Veasna, thank you vey much. I will put it on the list.
Hola, consulta el huawei mate 20 normal se podrá conectar con el mavic mini
Hi Oscar, Huawei Mate 20 should be no problem.
Gracias, esq quiero adquirlo y tengo este móvil mate 20 normal y no he podido encontrar algún referencia si este funcionara o no, ya que igual es una inversión comprarse un drone. Gracias por tu respuesta
Steve.
Easy mistake with all the texts, but the G6 now appears in both your compatible and non-compatible lists.
Hi Ray, thank you for pointing this out. I will remove it from the compatible list because it’s not 100% compatible.
Hi Steve, you can add another compatible phone to the list –
Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus 4GB / 64GB.
It works perfectly.
Hi Libor, thank you very much for sharing this. I have updated the list.
Anyone know if the Honor 9X works? DJI say that the Honor 9 and Honor 8X are compatible. I can buy a 9X cheaper than an 8X in my local store.
Hi David, will you be able to go to the local store to have a test? You can try to download the App and then launch it to see if it’s compatible.
Hi Steve. I don’t think you can. A factory reboot does not restore the Android version I believe. Hence my fear.
It’s taken me the drastic step of buying a new phone to get the bloody thing working in the first place so don’t want to risk it. Anyway got a ticket in with DJI. Let’s see what they say (although probably “just use a different phone” haha)
Hi Ray, I think you’ve already known the answer. Haha
OK… Just got the reply back from DJI regarding whether I should upgrade to Android 10 on my Pixel 2 XL. Here it is for everyone’s benefit …
“We apologize for any inconvenience. We suggest not to update the Android version at the moment. There’s still an issue with the incompatibility between the DJI Fly app and the Android 10 operating system.
We have already worked on this issue and have figured out the cause. We will fix this issue in the next version of the DJI Fly app.
The new firmware version will be applied in late January.”
Thanks for sharing this with us. Looks like the incompatibility with Android 10 is a common issue. I think DJI should notify all the Mavic Mini users.
I believe DJI released version 1.0.6 yesterday of the app. It only says “fixed bug fixes and improved stability” but I understand it may have addressed the Android 10 issue. Can anyone confirm that?
Hi Ray, I have confirmed with someone who works in DJI Support team that the Update has fixed the Android 10 compatibility issue.
I got the Mavic mini as a gift but my current LG phone is not compatible. I see above that there are compatibility issues with the android 10 system. Do you think Android 10 system includes the Samsung 10 or 10+? I see the Samsung 11 is going to be available in mid February. Does anyone know the best route for phone buying to ensure compatibility? I don’t want an I phone.
Hi Renee, the Android 10 compatibility issue does include Samsung 10+, and DJI is working on it with Samsung according to users who contacted DJI support. I think the problem now is not just the compatibility with a certain phone or tablet but also the Android 10 system. DJI said that the new firmware that will solve this issue will be applied in late January, I think you can wait for a few days to see what will happen.
Using the Sony Xperia 1 phone, don’t see it on the list here.
According to the official DJi Mavic Mini website, the phone might be too long to fit into the controller. Any idea if this is correct or any solution to it?
No point in buying if it doesn’t fit 🙁
Hi Thijs, thanks for sharing. Have you checked if it comes with an ARM 64-bit CPU? If so then it works, and there is sure a solution to the too-long problem. You will need to use a phone/tablet holder and a longer OTG cable to mount your phone on the controller. Check this article for more details: https://cultofdrone.com/best-mavic-tablet-holder/
I recently received my Mavic Mini and DJI Fly seems to work ok with my IPhone 4 that has been upgraded to IOS 12. xx. I have not yet downloaded the latest DJI updates and I’m a little hesitant to do that as things are working so well.
Hi Joseph, thanks for sharing. I am afraid you will have to update sooner or later for a better and safe flying experience.
I just reread my post and realise it’s not that clear. Basically…. “Does the Android 10 issue only affect Samsungs”? is what I want to know.
Anyone running the mini with a Pixel successfully with Android 10?
Hi Ray, maybe you can have a try, the problem is if it doesn’t work, can you go back to a former version?
Hi Steve. I don’t think you can. A factory reboot does not restore the Android version I believe. Hence my fear.
It’s taken me the drastic step of buying a new phone to get the bloody thing working in the first place so don’t want to risk it. Anyway got a ticket in with DJI. Let’s see what they say (although probably “just use a different phone” haha)
Hi everyone. Ok, so I ‘bit the bullet’ and bought a new phone to fly the Mavic mini…. expensive solution but I was tired of waiting. It’s a Google pixel 2 XL and shipped with version 8 android. (I know the phone isn’t the current model but I rarely splash out on the very latest phone!).
So I’ve got the phone up and running and successfully installed the fly-app, but as yet have not tested it.
Here’s my question…. My phone immediately wants to install Android 10. Is it safe to install this on the pixel 2xl? As I know some users have had problems with Samsung galaxies with Android 10 and using dji-fly. In others words, please tell me there are no issues running Android 10 on other devices (other than Samsung)?
I have a G7 power model# xt1955-5 . The app loads and the drone flys but there is a tremendous amount of latency or pixelation on my phone as it is filming. Not sure if there is a way to overcome this or make it smooth?
Hi Alan, maybe you can try to quit all the other apps when flying your drone.
I have the same problem with Xiaomi A2 Lite. I just hope it’s not the drone’s fault.
can you tell me if this would work with an iPad air?
Hi James, which iPad Air are you using? iPad Air, iPad Air 2 or 3? Normally is should be no problem.
Google pixel 3a working fine
Hi Pär, thank you very much, I will add it to the list.
De DJI fly app werkt ook niet om mijn Motorola.
Ik heb een moto g6. Volgens de Antutu benchmark zit er een 8 x arm Cortex-A53 architecturen 64 bit in.
De g6 draait nu op Android 9, 32bit.
Kan ik verwachten dat komend jaar de g6 een migratie krijgt naar 64 bit?
Dik ( Netherlands)
Hi Dik, thanks for sharing. I will update the list.
Does this app work with the samsung m30 s ??? Any experiences?
Hi Simson, I checked that the Samsung M30 S doesn’t come with an ARM CPU, so it might not be compatible. As I don’t have this phone, I checked online and here is the CPU info: Octa-core (4×2.3 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4×1.7 GHz Cortex-A53).
Does anyone know if it works with motorola g6 plus? It is a 64bits arm phone.
I could install the app without any problem but I didn’t have the chance to test with a drone because I’m waiting to arrive.
Thanks!
Hi Jonathan, If it meets all the requirements, then it should be ok.
If the guys who sell these drones would share the info required on compatible phones and not just push a sale all would be good ,if I had known I would have been happy to outlay quiet a bit more on a Mavic pro rather than buy a cheap Mavic mini and then throw away a $350 phone ,replace it to operate this drone, if this app gets modified now to accept my old phone I will be very disappointed. Not happy more info is needed for the older generation who are not up to speed on electronics. The mini works great but it has cost me over a $1000 to enjoy.
Absolutely so right Laurie. My thoughts exactly. Unfortunately retailers are lazy when it comes to researching what they’re selling and just tend to reprint the manufacturers blurb. Still no “upfront” compatibility info on the DJI official Mavic Mini page I see, not even in the 20+ questions on the FAQ page! You’d have thought “Does my phone work with this” would have made the top 20 by now.
DJI left every body in the dark when the Fly App was released. My brother a dealer had 150 presales ordered when the Mini was announced. He had 124 returned because the App Phone compatibility issues were unknown to him. he dislayed a sign which was a screen shot trebled in size of the official list. The Trouble he had was that DJI are so vague on what the requirements were for the Drone and App most thought they were fine. They were not and my brother only found out when you people did.
DJI Mavic Mini / Fly with Nokia 6.1 Plus on Android 9 has been working without any problems.
Andre
Hi Andre, thanks for sharing, I will add it to the list.
I can confirm that the following devices work very well with my new Mavic Miniusing DI Fly:
* OnePlus 6 (model A6003)
* iPad 6th Generation (MR7F2CL/A)
Hi Derek, thank you very much, I will add them to the list.
Another phone I tested yesterday and today seems to work just fine:
Motorola Moto G7 Power ( model XT1955-2 )
Hi Derek, Thanks. I will put it into the list.
Moto G7 Play doesn’t seem to work
Hi Derek. How did you get your oneplus6 working? I’m having some big issues with it connecting to the controller…
Hi Benjamin, what is the error message when you try to connect the controller.
“RC not connected to mobile device”
Hi Benjamin, sorry for the late reply, did you check the section in the article?
i am getting the same thing with my Pixel 3 XL, my Nexus 9 works and my wifes Pixel 1 works and my sons iphone 11 works. The Pixel 3 xl will install and open the DJI Fly app but i get the “charge” then an uncharge notification cycle via a sound and the lightning bolt sign on the battery icon that keeps going on and off. hat is going on please help me?
Is the fly app for the Mavic Mini compatible with the Moto x4 ?
Hi Richard, As I don’t have a Moto X4, I can only tell you that it at least meets one of the three things mentioned in the article. It runs Android 8.0. But you still need to check if it comes with a 64-bit ARM CPU.
Bought a Samsung A10 and it’s not compatible either so my two week old mini is collecting dust… this makes me quite grumpy!
Hi Chris, that’s frustrating, and you are not alone. Do you have a tablet? Maybe you can have a try.
Man i was fixing to buy one for me and one for my brother but we both use Samsung 7 with 32bit…I’m not going to buy two more phones just to fly a drone every once in a while….
Hi David, I see your point, if I were you, I would have made the same decision.
David the Samsung S7 is 64 bit and should work.
Hi, the Huawei P8 lite doesn’t work either. I can connect to the drone, and even take off, but i have no video feed from it. Customer service told me to “use a compatible device” 🙂
Back it goes.
Hi Mike, Thanks for letting us know. Looks like you have no problems downloading and installing the DJI Fly App. When you tried to connect the drone, did you get any error messages?
App is not compatible with Samsung S10 running official released Android 10.
Just see comments on playstore. It’s ridiculous how dji is handling with this issue.
Hi Greg, thanks for sharing. I guess DJI should update the App asap.
For Christmas I was given a Mavic Mini. Today I tried to get the necessary software which is evidently th Android version DJI Fly. When I went to Goole Play Store App it was not listed but there were several others so I tried one that said it supported the Mavic Pro. It installed and ran on myLG Stylo4 but would not connect to the Mavic Mini. I assume the Mavic Pro software is similar and likely has more features that the Mini. Why in the world would the Mini have so many incompatibilities… In my case, it is NOT because my phone has a 32 bit processor. My configuration is as follows:
o 6.2″ FHD+ FullVision™ TFT 2160 × 1080 Display.
o Android™ 8.1 Oreo Installed.
o 64 bit 1.8GHz Octa-Core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ SDM450 Processor.
oInternal Memory: 32GB / 3 GB RAM / 128GB Micro SD
Am very disappointed with who I thought was the premier drone company. I see now after reading the Mavic Mini box (needed a magnifying glass) that states “Made for iPhone” and lists iPhones form iPhone 7 to current. Minimally DJI should have plastered warnings on the box stating it will only work with selected Android phones and list them. But c’mon guys, why the limitation to iPhones and selective Androids phones?!?
Rest assured that I am NOT going to switch from a phone that I am perfectly happy with which is used daily to be compatible with a drone that I will only use occasionally. Just as there are other smartphones, so are there other drones! Guess which option I’ll choose?!?
Hi Bob, I see your point, a lot of Android users have compatibility issues. As for your case, I guess you may have downloaded the wrong App. If you can’t find DJI Fly on Google Play Store, you can try this: go to https://www.dji.com/dji-fly, and scroll down to the bottom, you will find the QR code for downloading.
If you are using LG Stylo 4, I am afraid it’s not compatible because one of the users has already tried it.
Mavic mini works great on a Samsung A50 .
Hi Zoli, thanks for sharing, Samsung A50 is on the list.
Hi,is the Huawei Nova 2 Lite compatible with the mini . My Moto g6 does not fit the bill.
Hi Laurie, As mentioned in the article, you will need to confirm that if the Huawei Nova 2 Lite comes with an ARM CPU and runs a 64-bit Android OS. If you plan to buy this model, please check with the seller to see if it meets the requirements.
DJI GO 4 is compatible with Huawei Honor 8A but it is not compatible with DJI Fly. Why?
Huawei Honor 8A supports Android 9 (32bit)
Hi Wan, that’s because DJI Fly is only compatible with 64-bit Android OS.
My HTC u 11 plus is working fine with the app.
Kind regards,

Hi Maarten, thank you very much. I will add it to the compatible list.
Lenovo 7 and lenovo8 are also incompatible
Hi Jan, thanks for sharing. I have updated the list.
I just purchased the Samsung Galaxy A20 and it IS compatible. There was nothing anywhere on this device, which I bought solely to use for the DJI Mini, so I was really crossing my fingers haha.
Hi Roy, that’s great, and thanks for sharing. Happy flying! haha
Does anyone know if the ASUS Zenfone 4 Max is compatible? It does have an Arm processor (64 bit and 8 cores) and is running Android 8.1.0 (64 bit). So the specs seem to meet the requirements. I would appreciate any feedback before I buy the unit.
thks Steve..will look for a compatible one
Hi Harris, you are welcome, happy flying!
Iphone 5s works flawlessly with the mavic mini
Hi Bayu, thanks for letting us know, I have already added the iPhone 5s to the list.
htc M9 Plus not compatible..shame
Hi Harris, looks like the HTC M9+ is upgradeable to Android 6 but doesn’t come with an ARM CPU, that’s the reason why it is not compatible.
Will ipad mini 2 or 3 work with mavic mini?
Hi Barry, if they are compatible with iOS 10, then they should be no problem. But these two models are too old, you may still need to test before flying.
LG stylo4 not compatible
Hi Barry, thanks for letting us know, I will update the incompatible list.
De Fly app and mavic mini works great on a Samsung A8 2018
Hi Lourensl, thank you very much, I will add it to the compatible list.
Ya no, dejo de funcionar en samsung A8 2018..
LGX power 2 is a no go
LGX Power 2 is a no go..Off to purchase a Samsung S9 tomorrow
Hi Rick, thanks for letting us know. Happy flying!
Samsung A3 and A5 from 2016 and 2017 are not compatible with the fly app.
“If not, you also don’t need to worry, just make sure your phone meets the system requirements of the App. I believe most of the phones will do. ”
This is nonsense. I’ve read heaps of complaints of users online. Many many phones are not compatible with the Fly App because a lot of phones still run a 32-bit Android OS.
DJI should communicate this. A real shame.
Hi Ray, thank you very much for your valuable comment. I agree with you that DJI should test more Android devices for users. From what I know, the compatibility device test is not a top priority for every product, normally they only test those popular ones in the market. You can easily tell from the list on DJI website, almost no update after release. Anyway, I will try my best to keep the list up-to-date.
Samsung s6 problem with compass in cell phone for fly app telemetry working good! !The remote create magnetic field and magnetic sensor for compass in cell phone for telemetry with fly app not working ! Don’t fly safe with samsung s6 !!! Cell phone model number is : SM-G920W8
Hi Christian, thank you very much for letting us know. I will update the list.
Maybe you better tell ppl what the cheapest phone is .
Alot of ppl got the drone and are saving to buy a expensive phone now
Hi Van, good idea. For iOS users, the iPhone SE is the cheapest one. But for Android users, there are too many out there, that’s why I suggest pilots check whether their devices meet the App’s system requirements or not.
Samsung S10+ non compatible?? quand cela va être corrigé? Je suis sur le point d’annuler une commande
Hi Stéphane, the Samsung S10+ is compatible. It is on the list, no worries.
We Galaxy Tablet users make up a sizable portion of the mini market I’m sure, how about giving us a break and add some Samsung Tabs (the Galaxy Tab A 2019 in particular😁).
Hi Bob, I think the Galaxy Tab A 2019 should be no problem. Have you tried it? If so, I would love to add it to the list.
I bought a 2019 Galaxy Tab A yesterday, while it is a 64 bit architecture the Chip is not a ARM chip, the WIFI does not support 802.11ac (not listed on most reviews, the one I had read said it did support it it doesn’t) Google play store doesn’t show the DJI FLY app. With that many questions, I have chosen to return it today.
Hi Craig, you can choose one from the list according to your preference and budget after you return it.
Want to buy the Mavic Mini but it is not compatible with my Motorola Z2 Play.
Hoping app will be upgraded to accept Motorola product soon.
Already using DJI Go 4 app with zero problems with the Z2 Play phone and a Mavic Air.
Hi Ken, if it goes well with the DJI GO 4, then it’s likely to be compatible with the DJI Fly. Your phone does meet the DJI Fly system requirements.
that’s not like this!
my moto g5 plus has Android 8.1, 3GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 625. Not compatible!
Hi Maurizio, thanks for letting us know. Currently, the DJI tested devices are listed in the article, for other devices, they should meet the system requirements, but we may still need to test it, that’s why I also mentioned in the article because there are so many Android devices out there, it’s almost impossible to test every one of them.
Hi Steve, I really do want to buy the Mavic Mini but my phone is not in the list. I have the HUAWEI Mate 20 Lite. Can this one work to or is it really sure it’s not going to work?
Hey Maurizio, it may be a bit late, but simply flashing/installing a 64bit ROM will enable you to install and use the DJI Fly app without any problem. Look for Pixel Experience ROM. It will install Android 10 onto your device and you will gain all of the latest features, as well as 64bit OS to run DJI Fly app.
