SYMA X500

SYMA X500 Drone Review

From two batteries, the SYMA X500 drone is going to give you 56 minutes of flight time. Therefore, there is no need to buy a third battery because when flying a quadcopter, 50 minutes is a long time.

But flight time is just one of the features that people consider when buying a quad. In that case, we shall look at more of the features that the X500 comes with, and they are many.

However, before we wax lyrical about the features, we shall look at a few disadvantages that this quad comes with. Everything has a flipside and this one is not any different.

For instance, many users report issues with the SYMA Air app connectivity. Therefore, this app may completely fail to work with some android devices. Other issues seem to be missing batteries, you know, coming with one instead of two batteries. At the same time, some people say theirs failed to charge completely.

However, all these issues seem to be from isolated cases. Therefore, we cannot give a blanket condemnation and say that the quadcopter is bad. On the same note, it is a bit worrying.
