DJI sent out a marketing email on Nov 28. That link provided no mention of any device compatibility nor any reference to a requirement to have the Mimo app to activate. Even today the main marketing page for Osmo Pocket doesn't mention this, it only talks about smartphones and android, not some very limited number of smartphones. It's only on the Mimo App page where compatibility is mentioned (way down at the bottom), and I'm going to doubt that information was there on Nov 28 given the surprise level once people started getting their pockets.
I definitely have to give you that one.... I just "pretended" that I was ordering a Pocket from the DJI Home page. Went to the Store, followed the Learn More links, selected Buy One, and looked for Specs or Compatibility. At each step I didn't find any listing of current compatibles. Even in the FAQ section. I only found it after navigating to the support page(s) (also not easy/obvious). I also went to the two online electronics stores from whom I usually buy products like these. Neither of them list the device compatibilities either. Under Specs it only states iOS and Android (with some allusion to USB-C.
Unless a purchaser was really diligent there would be no way of knowing their new Samsung wasn't "compatible." My apologies for my snark. |
