Which phones are you looking at that don't have them? I don't know a phone that doesn't tbh. The bigger issue is they only have limited accuracy.

I wanted a phone with a gyro and compass and the Wileyfox Swift 2 was the best. 4G, 5" & £150. (the specs on website don't mention gyro but I confirm it has it).

just picked up a Moto G4 4th gen.

although ive just noticed that it does not have a compass..... :confused:

so it might have to go back

I discarded the G4 as an option for that reason - no compass.

I'm not sure if it's going to pose a problem? To be honest I didn't think to check.

i should have know better than to try and fly a multi-rotor with a phone....

yes no compass makes a huge difference this is going back then....
