Why can't I use my Droid phone to control drones. null

if you look on the the manufacture website of any drone they will give you the recommended phone that will typically work for your drone.

Depending on the Drone you should be able to, however there are some that are just not compatible. I used a Galaxy S6 on my Phantom 3 and it worked just fine, i would check the spec from the manufacture website prior to purchase

The Phantom 4 Professional is the most sophisticated consumer level drone on the market. In order to function as the manufacturers intended, it is ABSOLUTELY necessary that you use a high-end tablet. The engineers at DJI test all of their equipment using the Apple iPad Mini 4. If you want perfection from this drone, don't cheap out on the tablet. The processors on average tablets and phones are, well, garbage. Given the processing power needed to operate the Phantom 4 Pro, I recommend using ONLY the Apple iPad Mini 4. It may cost $400, but it turns your drone into a cinematography powerhouse.

Use an iPad with DJI Go4 app ... don't use a phone.

The DJI application only works with certain devices. Go to the DJI website and they will show you a complete list of acceptable devices. See photo below on the devices that accept this app.
