I tried my new S8+ last night.  Worked like a charm.  It was sunset so I didn't fly a thorough test, but I did go about a half mile away, shot some sunsets and RTH'd.  Decided to land manually due to darkness and nearness of roof.

Only glitch was I didn't have the correct cable to connect to the RC (side connector) and had to use an adapter that came with the S8.

In the original package of the Mavic there are 3 connectors: 1- the pre-installed apple connector (because DJI is in love with apple).  2- the micro usb   and a USB c cable. so look back in your original package if it's still there

Found it. Thanks.  I've been flying with  as Samsung S5 and had left the other cables at home.  I hadn't notices that the connector on the Samsung was different.

Just spoke with Mavic tech support Samsung s8 / s8+ are not compatible

I have the S8 and it has been working great for the last two weeks. My phone just got an update yesterday a I tried to fly my Mavic and the App keeps crashing saying the current display size is not supported. I have changed the screen setting and it says the same thing. Anybody have this issue? Photo of message

One thing you may need to check. In Settings>Display >Full Screen Apps,   make sure DJI GO 4 is turned off.

It Does....

I've had my Mavic for 3 days now (first ever drone), and the app stopped working after my first flight on the GS8+.

Setting up the drone and getting in the air on the first day was flawless, no issues at all. On the second day, the app won't open, I get the error message "DJI Go 4 Has Stopped" before it even starts.

I have reinstalled the app, updated my phone, deleted all files associated with DJI on the device, and made sure it is set to the correct screen size. Nothing works...

The frustrating thing is that nothing changed on my phone between day 1 and day 2, so why doesn't the app work now!

I feel like my only option is to buy Litchi if I want to ever use my brand new drone again. Does anyone know if this affects DJI Care claims?

Very disappointed, I've contacted DJI but their tech support isn't very effective... Any advise would be greatly appreciated as I'm at a bit of a loss here

I have a Galaxy S8 Plus and i was getting the same problems with the app crashing saying the "Display was not supported" so here is what i did to get it to work. First i unistalled the App and delete all the app files in the phone. Then i went to the DJI website and downloaded the App directly from them. Now the app works even if i enable the feature "Full screen" aspect ratio for the app. The only problem i have is that the app will sometimes crash when the drone is on the air. Thanks god for the return home buttom on the controller so i guess it's not fully supported yet so be careful.. Anyways for some reason the version on the android 'Play Store' does not work on Galaxy S8 Phones and if you compare it to how big is the installer file in there to the one on the DJI Site. The one on the DJI Site is a lot bigger.

Thank you so much. DJI said to use the QR code but I just thought it went to the app store! Since downloading from their website, it at least open again. Will need to see how it performs when flying.

I don't want to be a bad prophet, but in my case Litchi doesn't work as well. I've S8 and sometimes DJI app doesn't start , sometimes crashes a couple of minutes after.  What's the worst, that in most cases even remote controler stop working and drone is absolutely  uncontrolled. And the same things happen to me with Litchi as well.  Finally, with S8 I'm not able to use my Mavic in no way. DJI support is another sad story. After 10 minutes chat, when I started to think I'm talking with chatbot I was recommended to check if S8 is supported device. Realy great advice, especially when I literaly wrote in my first sentence " Despite I know S8 is not officially supported device, ..."
So be careful with Mavic nad S8 at any case

Went to Toscany for holiday with my mavic pro and my new Samsung Galaxy S8.
Tried it at home for a short flight and it worked.
Unfortunately here it disconnects randomly after some seconds up to some minutes.
Also the phone drains power from the remote control.

When I connect it via USB-C Cable to the bottom USB-port of the remote control it works much better.
It still drains power, but much less and I had no disconnections for a flight time of 90 minutes.

Hope this helps someone.

It works, and it works for the S7.

I have a Mavic and use a Samsung S8 phone. Found that the auto brightness must be turned off and select a suitable brighter setting for out doors. I had read that flight mode was a good idea and have used this. I have done 9 short flights of no more thaqn 5 mins each without issues. Impressed with photo quality. I have never flown RC before, so a total beginner.

DJI videos are not playing on my S8+

Haha, it's not even out yet. It's still a month till its released properly. Given that the S7 isnt a supported model still (although works fine) i wouldnt get your hopes up too much ... i've attached the specs, you should be able to compare them with the controler size specs to see if it'll fit

Samsung S7 is supported.  http://www.dji.com/mavic/info#downloads   near the bottom of the page where it lists compatible.  Not sure why they haven't updated for 4.1.3, but my Samsung S7 works fine.

Android Version v4.1.2.
Android version 4.4.0 or later. Compatible with Samsung S7 edge, Samsung S7, Samsung S6, Samsung S5, Samsung NOTE4, Samsung NOTE3, Samsung tabs 705c, Ascend Mate 9, Ascend Mate 7, Huawei P10 Plus, Huawei Honor 8, Huawei P8 Max, Vivo X7, Xiaomi 5, Google Nexus 6p, Nexus 9, Google Nexus 7 II, LG V20.

lol...liar!! Tech support doesn't exist.

I am new to RC flying and have been gradually adding skills and becoming comfortable with the DJI Go4 software on Samsung S8. I have not experienced issues yet.
For those who had initial problems, have these resolved?
Are other users having serious drone crashing issues that some reported in April?

Does the s8 plus charge the controller?

I will create a new thread with the "screen resolution issue. Check it out.

My Samsung S8+ always disconnects the gimbal after short time, not working. DJI should finally check and post an official statement what's their answers to problems and plans

I just got my s8+ and can't seem to get the provided android cable to fit the phone to connect to the rc. Is there a new cable for it now?

I have the galaxy s8+ and am thinking of getting mavic pro platnum does anyone have a mavic and fly using this phone and how does it work with Android

Hi. I recently bought a samsung galaxy s8 plus. Tried flying my Mavic for the first time using my new phone but it just won't connect. The remote controller does connect to the aircraft but there's no live view (The phone does starts charging). I probably tried all the troubleshooting techinques like
1.) Reinstalling the app.
2.) Changing the connector cable.
3.) Restarting the Remote / aircraft / phone.
4.) Enabling the Developer mode.
5.) Using the QR code on DJI's website to download the DJI Go 4 app.

Please help.

Hi All, So I've received My Samsung Galaxy S8+ Today and I can confirm it works 100%:

Does Samsung Galaxy S8+ fit the DJI Mavic controller?

this might be a stupid question but. When I order it, do I have to specify type of plug I need with it. I have a Samsung galaxy s8 active. Only DJI i've seen, the guy had a Iphone.  PS. Your video is cool.

Hello guys.
Just bought a Mavic Pro and thinking about getting a Samsung S8 as well.
I have found lots of incompatibility cases over the internet with those two, but according to the listing below, the Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of the devices supported by DJI.
Considering the incompatibility cases are not that recent, I'd like to know if there was any update to correct those issues or if they are still happening.

I just flew three battery packs through my Mavic Pro connected to my SG-S8 and was fine except for one point where after landing, and putting the controller / phone down, I snagged the USBC cable connected to the phone and it got disconnected. I had to power the Mavic Pro, followed by the controller down in order to have it reconnect. I also had exited the DJI GO app completely for good measure.

It works fine for me
