From a recent thread started by username Glacier (here at https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=237389 ), we discussed about a possibility to start a thread concerning the tablets that have proven to be compatible with the Pocket 2. This will be a kind of a sister thread to my earlier thread concerning phones not listed by the DJI's official phone list (you can see the phones or submit your own results concerning phones here: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=235190 ).
For those looking for the official DJI list for compatible phones, see https://www.dji.com/fi/downloads/djiapp/dji-mimo
Some people prefer the chance to use a tablet instead of an phone for larger screen and possibly they don't have a compatible phone, but might have a compatible tablet.
So, the same principles as with the phone list: List your tablet testing results here and I will compile them as a list here, that will be updated once in a while.
Update: If you test a tablet model and don't seem to get it to work, try these quick fixes first:
#1 - Make sure you have downloaded the Mimo app from DJI's own website ( https://www.dji.com/fi/downloads/djiapp/dji-mimo ) instead of Google Play Store if you are using Android. According to some sources, the Google Play Store version is outdated and the app should now be downloaded and updated by DJI's own site. You may also have to uninstall the previous version before installing the version from Mimo's own website. To see further information, see this thread: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=242211
#2 - Check the wireless network frequency setting of your Mimo app settings. Some devices use 2,4 GhZ, others use 5.8 GhZ. If the Auto setting or one of the specific frequency settings doesn't work, try the other one. To see more about this issue, see the threads at https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=229629 and https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=247715 . Be sure to restart the Mimo app in order to the changed setting to take place! Also, if your version of Mimo app doesn't have the frequency setting, see if you can get an earlier version of Mimo app, install it, change the frequency there then reinstall or update to the newer version.
#3 - Sometimes problems may occur due to an physically or communicatively unstable connection between the Pocket 2 and the tablet. On some occasions, using a protective case can prevent the connector from going as far as required, or it's possible magnetic shielding can disrupt the communication between the two devices, thus causing errors; on other cases (such as Lenovo Tab M10), without the protective case there might be a gap between the tablet and Pocket 2 that makes the connection wobbly and causes communication errors, while using with the case stabilizes the camera to the tablet by filling up the gap and fixes the issue. If you have problems with a protective case, try removing it and try again. Also, vise versa: if the connection is erratic without a case, try putting the tablet into one and try again.
#4 - Ensure you have updated the phone operating system to the required version. The Mimo app requires at least Android 7.0, or iOS 11.0 for the Apple devices. There have also been reports of Mimo not working on Android 11 and 12, so they may not necessarily work, or you might need a certain version of the Mimo app for it to work. (UPDATE: A DJI representative has officially stated that Mimo version 1.5.4 is not compatible with Android 12, so if you are using that version of Android, make sure you have a newer version of Mimo.)
#5 - If possible, see if you can rule out the possibility of having a faulty USB-C or Lightning adapter by using the same adapter on a different, compatibility-tested phone or tablet. If the connection works with the same adapter on another phone or tablet, it confirms that the adapter is working. If not, it could be that the adapter itself is faulty.
#6 - Sometimes, the tablet may have power-saving options that interfere with the connection between the Pocket 2 and the tablet. If you have power-saving options on, try disabling them and connecting again to see if that makes any difference.
#7 - If you are attempting to connect the Pocket 2 wirelessly to your tablet and your device is not found, make sure you have enabled both Bluetooth and wifi on your tablet. The Mimo app needs both for wireless connection to Pocket 2 (the Bluetooth for finding the nearby devices, and the wifi for rest of the operations).
#8 - If you can't establish a connection through the main physical connection of the Pocket 2, try using a USB-C to USB-A adapter, connect your tablet's data cable to that adapter and then connect them to the bottom USB-C port of the Pocket 2. Also, you may want to try using a straight USB-C to Micro-USB cable if you have one. Some models may not work using the 'basic' connector, but may work when used with these adapters and USB ports.
#9 - If connecting physically, make sure the connections aren't bent or dirty. If they are, there might be communication errors between the Pocket 2 and the other device.
#10 - If your device uses VPN for network connection, try disabling that and connecting again. There have been reports of VPN disrupting the connection between the tablet and the Pocket 2 that were solved when the VPN was disabled.
LIST STYLING UPDATE: From now on, the list styling will be changed. The tablets will be categorized according to the manufacturers instead of the Working-Not working, division. Each tablet mentioned under these will be marked with a YES or NO and color-coded accordingly to show whether the model will work with the Pocket 2 or not. This hopefully helps users to find their device faster to see whether it can be used for the activation process and/or remote control. Special thanks to username Defleur for inspiring this new listing style!
KEY:
YES - The tablet completely or partially works with the Pocket 2 and can be used to activate and/or control the Pocket 2.
NO - The tablet doesn't work with the Pocket 2.
And now for the list itself:
(Last updated on May 23rd, 2022)
APPLE
Apple iPad (6th gen) - YES
Apple iPad Pro (2021 version) - NO (Otherwise works, but the camera image is rotated 90 degrees, rendering it unusable)
Apple iPad 2 Pro - YES
Apple iPad Mini 2 - YES
Apple iPad Mini 4 - YES
Apple iPad Mini 5 - YES (To use wirelessly: connect the Pocket 2 directly via the Lightning connector (USB), then disconnect the adapter, connect the joystick and after that iPad should connect via WI-FI)
Apple iPad Mini 6 - NO
DUODUOGO
DUODUOGO tablet - NO
HUAWEI
Huawei M5 - YES
LENOVO
Lenovo M8 - NO
Lenovo M8 (model TB-8505F) - YES (At least when used wirelessly)Lenovo Tab M10 - YES (Euro version, TB-X605L WiFi+LTE version, Android version 9, 3GB RAM; use of included protective case recommended for physically and transmissionally stable connection when using USB-C connector)

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 - YES (US version, SM-T860 WiFi version, upgraded to Android 11 OS, 6GB RAM)
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 - YES
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra - YES (At least with the latest release version of Mimo app as of May 20th, 2022)
Any other test results would be appreciated.
Please do note that occasionally - as DJI and users possibly continue developing/testing and people find solutions to problems previously blocking users from using a certain model - some of the non-working models might be moved to the working list. If you find such a model, please do inform about it in this thread.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: Both I and username justinother1 have attempted emulating Android running Mimo on Windows platforms, but as of now, these attempts haven't worked. If somebody managed to do this, please do inform about it here (What emulator, Android and Mimo version, emulated device etc.) See more info from the thread itself.
