Having now had a week few with an Android (Huawei M3 lite) device alongside iOS, I’d say for £140 it’s pretty good value.
There are definitely a few oddities compared to iOS, but overall it fits the brief of getting a small, new, light, dedicated device that can live in my flightbag.
SkyDemon’s definitely less refined on it - some (very few) menus don’t work ideally or block functionality. The graphics refresh is a bit slower. There’s a small learning curve to setting up and moving around it.
Apart from the menus, there are two things bothering me:
Without WiFi it’s not trivial to share routes between android and iOS.
I was really surprised that Android doesn’t update in the way iOS does. It seems you’re pretty much stuck with the os it came with. For me that means a brand new device with an outdated OS and security updates and no chance to update it. That is really disappointing - had I known that I would probably have stuck to the used iPad route.
