Hi. Thank you for sharing this information with us. The Huawei MediaPad M3 is not yet tested and listed as a recommended mobile device for your DJI Phantom 4 Pro. When using a non recommended device you will not be able to utilize all the functions of your DJI Phantom 4 Pro. There could be a compatibility issue in the future when using this device. For reference, I will be posting the most recent lists of the recommended mobile device for the DJI Phantom 4 Pro.

So, still only 1 tablet for android and many for ios, DJI staff keep pushing this compatibility list, we android users cannot and will not be forced over to apple so we have to experiment and buy the best that we can afford.

Sorry Stephen but that's nonsense.
DJI rarely updates their compatible tablets list so users have to try them out for themselves.
The Huawei M3 is a superb flying tablet.
I've been using one for over 6 months and tested it extensively.
It's probably the best Android tablet out there for flying ... except for the M5 which is just as good.

Hi, we do understand that it may work without any issues. But since it is not yet listed and tested by our engineers it might give you some errors on the app or you might not use the full functionality of the app. We will coordinate this to our engineers for testing and development. We're here to help you and kindly let us know if you have some concerns. Thank you.

If DJI updated their list and actually tested more equipment that might make sense.
But DJI hardly ever update their list and there are much better tablets available that function perfectly.
DJI never listed the Nvidia K1, but in it's day, it was the best available flying tablet.
If users only use listed tablets, they miss out on much better equipment and a better flying experience.

PS - the battery life of this tablet is pretty amazing ... just making a folding custom sun hood for from polyprop sheet & no velcro needed! - real easy to cut and fold, anyone can make for a few ££'s .

Yes, I figured so, thought I would give it a try. If it was a US company they might not be able to get away with it, or at least give a break or option.

Hi - are you referring to the MediaPad M3 'Lite' and if so, should I be bothered about the 1.4Ghz CPU as opposed to the majority with 2.4 ? (quite possibly a newbie's stupid question !)

I am - but you have the spec incorrect - mine is...

Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 Inch 32GB Tablet
2.4GHz Android Emui 5.1 octa core processor.
3GB RAM.

Plus it still works superbly on the latest FW and app on my P4Pro and Mavic Air

Are you sure about the processor speed? The M3 Lite has a 1.4 GHz Snapdragon, but the M3 (not Lite) has a 2.4 GHz. The M3 also has 4GB RAM and higher resolution screen.
I use the M3 8.4 inch - perfect size for me, not too big on the RC.

The UK M3  'lite' versions either 8" or 10" show a specification with 1.4ghz with 3gb ram
There is an 8.4" M3 with I believe the higher resolution, a 2.3ghz cpu and I believe  4gb ram - can't find who is selling it and how much it is

No issues at all, runs DroneDeploy perfectly
The M5 does everything you will ever want to do with your Phantom.
