Hi Guys,
Saw the update of compatibility list for Go App. It seems that DJI now confirm Go App 's compatibility with Note 8. Has anyone have any more issue with using note 8 on Go app?

Note 8 has 1240 nits screen brightness which is comparable with CS screen. Its advantage over CS is that it has a mighty processor and platform for all flight program eg litch, pix4d, etc.

You are welcome, Mark.The truth, it is a Xmas present for me. No one is sending any presents.
Since someone needs to test it out, I am here at your service. Will report back whether it is worth it.

Inspire One Pro
AC ver  1.10.01.40
FC ver  1.7.6
Go App ver 3.1.5
Mobile dev Note 8 (android 7.1.1)

First time connecting the RC with AC, Go App shows correct equipment, ie Inspire 1 pro. However, when the app is full opened, it does not have any flight telemetry and shows up buttons and display for an Osmo. It is fully functional as an Osmo. RC hardware controls are never the less functional, like moving gimbal, starting up the motors. It is kind of funny. Before using  Note 8, I somehow lose the peak focusing function. But when connected with Note 8, I regain that function.

What interesting is when it follows with connecting my original android tablet, android 6.0 and Go app 3.1.5. It has everything working correctly as before. All flight telemetry is there. I then switch it back with Note 8, now magic happens. All flight telemetry is back to normal with bonus peak focusing. No crashing happens so far. Mind you, I have not put it in flight yet. Note 8 screen is amazing and I am using 2k resolution and maximum brightness at 1240 nits. Will report again once I put it in action. It is getting dark now. I will not risk it until I am sure that Go App does not crash mid flight though.

Note 8 is working fine no crashing and does everything correctly. The screen is very visible even under direct sunlight given 1240 nits. The resolution is also very sharp since that ppi is the highest among all android device. Highly recommended.

AC ver 1.10.01.40
RC Ver 1.7.60
ap ver 3.1.23

Everything working fine for me but one thing.  When you try and change from 4k to another resolution in H.265 The app will crash.

I have tried all different resolution under PAL format as I reside in Australia. No issue there at all. Are you using WQHD display resolution, highest of all? I am using that resolution. It seems now that Android display is the king for DJI screen. CS and Note 8 are the only choice for outdoor flying in bright sunlight. Apple display will be a few generation behind given that they don't have any display technology and is supplied by Samsung.

Today I was flying in my usual spot with Note 8 and this is the first time I really appreciate the FPV images transmitted to Note 8 while in flight. It is bloody beautiful and now I think I am confident to locate that buoy. That buoy that i could not see while in flight using other displays. ie ASUS 10" zenpad, Moto Zplay and LG G4. Awesome display, well done Samsung.
