Hey.
I wonder if there are some good low-budget Phones for the Mini RC.
At the moment I use my Xperia XZ1 Compact. Works perfect but it's way too thick to fit into the Remote Control, even without Case. It should hold as long as I don't start running around, but I'm not that happy to be honest.

Also the Display is a little small.

Do you guys have any recommendations? Thinking about (of course the most important) stable Videotransmission and WiFi Signal, flat enough to fit into the RC, a bigger Display than my XZ1 compact and ideally a not too weak Battery.

I think about spending maximum 150€, less would be better. Preferably any China-Phone-Stuff, I guess you get the most there for your money.

No need for any other Extras. It will be a Mini-Control-Phone exclusively.

I bought the LG G6 for flying the drone only, it was the cheapest I could find that would load the dji fly app, have been using it for 2 months now, and had no problems, I bought it ff of amazon for 150 dollars, brand new interntional version, so it had no warranty, but works perfect for this drone,Tim

I'm using my Huawei Y6 2017 with the app side loaded from the DJI website with no issues. It's a cheap, basic phone but I'm not about to change my phone just because DJI won't officially support 90% of the phones out there!

Thanks for the recommendations. Hm, I'm a little afraid when buying an older Phone (Like the Huawei 2017) that we will get in trouble with further DJI Fly Updates... Need to think about it.

Depends on what you define as budget price.  I bought my grandson a Samsung Note 8 to use with his MM.  Nice big screen and bright.  It was 175 USD and got it on Swappa.
