It should work, however due to the fact that it's not a 'powerful' tablet I cannot guarantee it will work very well since the DJI development kit is quite demanding.
I can report, with extensive experience, that the Samsung Note 8 will NOT run this app correctly.
As you gave a warning to me, I am not, IN THE LEAST, upset that this failed. I knew the risk and I tried to run it anyway. No damage was done to my drone. I kept it within visual sight at all times. I will, however, go into detail as to what I experienced on this tablet platform to hopefully save others from making the same decision as I. I have many other uses for this tablet so I am not terribly disappointed here. The DJI Vision App, once loaded via memory card, does work quite well although the battery is discharged rather quickly. I have two batteries for the P2V+ V3 and the Note 8 ran long enough for both although I was left at just 40% battery life on the Note. No big deal though.
I spent over two hours between yesterday and today attempting to get some type of performance out of Litchi and the Note 8.0 running Jellybean. I have no confidence in it running on a newer OS release either.
What I found was that Litchi overheated the Note 8 battery and caused the Note to discharge within 25 minutes both times. The camera view via WiFi with this tablet remained locked to the first home point position recorded by the drone. Even though I attempted to restart the connection by turning off WiFi, then stopping the app and eventually, hard rebooting the Note 8, nothing made any difference. The very first camera picture received remained throughout the flight. Altitude and speed were updated with a lot of lag, as was the available Sats, but nothing else was updated. No battery life, nothing else.
I tried using the lowest video setting at 15fps and nothing changed. I tried using a lower tablet brightness and no increase of note was indicated in the tablet battery life span. While running the Litchi app, the drone, when it reached 30% battery, wouldn't even RTH. It took my flipping to failsafe before the drone responded as anticipated and flew at 125' to the home point initially made at start up. Then, as expected, the TX came back online and I was able to lower the drone to a soft landing.
I will say this, though. While Litchi was running, the drone seemed, and this could just be coincidence, to be more stable in "hands off" and in all other flight transitions. As in, the drone would hover in a tighter circle at 125' as well as at 6'. It seemed to stay within the radius and altitude hold a bit better. The moment I turned Litchi off and just flew without any WiFi connection, the drone returned to a wider radius and added about 2' to altitude in hovering transitions when hands off.
After recharging my drone batteries, and installing DJI Vision, I went back out and flew another 30 minutes worth. Vision worked just fine with no adverse indicators in flight, while hovering or anything else. Worked just as it does on my S4 Active cell phone although, I did have to load DJI Vision via the micro SD card. The App wouldn't show up in Google Play for this Note 8.
In the near future, I plan on purchasing a larger android device that WILL run Litchi well. Any input the dev's could give me on which 7" or larger tablet to buy that is confirmed to work with Litchi would be tremendously appreciated!
