Newbie question here - I just bought the Spark with the Fly More combo pack and my phone (a One Plus 2) won't work with the DJI Go 4 app.  After about a day of frustration I gave up and got onto Support.  I could connect to the phone using the RC's wifi but could not get past the 'Enter Device' screen.  It would only ever go to Select Network screen and then back to the home page of the app.  The weird thing was that I could then control the Gimbal but nothing else (couldn't see the flight screen or use any other controls).  

DJI Support let me know the phone isn't compatible so I am now looking for a new one. Since it's not a small outlay I would really value the opinions of others with more experience than me.  One of the reasons I have the One Plus 2 is for the dual sims.  The Huawei P10 Plus and Samsung S8+ both have dual sim functionality too.  The camera looks great in the HuaWei but that screen on the Samsung just looks incredible.  

Anyway, it seems that the P10 Plus is listed as compatible by DJI while the S8+ isn't.  Trawling through the forums here and I seem to get conflicting views on the S8+ (but also on other supported Android phones).  Out of these two options, which would you recommend based on your experience?

Any feedback/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Jerry
