YES... My Magic Drawin Pad arrived on May 5th and the first thing I noticed was the pen offset, which is a little different when used in portrait or landscape orientation. One night later there was an update - version vFLDP(12-01). Now you can optimize the global cursor offset. "Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Handwriting is not aligned". Very nice because I want to use concepts and there is no in-app curso customization. I love this little thing! Thank you for this review. It was one of three TH-cam videos about the magic drawing pad when it came to purchasing decisions.
@@farelldesman5199 Absolutely. The offset problem depends on the orientation of how you hold the pad while painting. With the setting I mentioned, the offset is corrected globally, so it has the same effect on all programs.
Brad...I just posted my review as well. I contacted the peeps over at XPPen with the same gripe about the cursor issue. They indicated it was calibrated to the tip at a 90 degree position as to facilitate left and right handed people. I asked about calibration as well...they indicated a possible driver update later. I literally went back and forth about the same issue. Also, I did use a pen from another device...and told them about it. They of course indicated that I needed to use the pen that it came with...but I really liked that I can use alternate pens. Anyway, this was a great device. small qwirks...but overall I am sure it will improve as we get updates. Love the channel. ike
@@thebradcolbow Brad as I mentioned in my comment to this review,...all I can say is THANK YOU for being so thorough with your reviews and looking at all of things that really matter most from an artist's perspective! I always come back here to you when I want to know what these products are REALLY like for art. It's all that matters to me. You always go beyond the "fluff" and smoke and mirrors and cut to the chase. THANK YOU!
I think a killer feature would be to allow this tablet to also connect to a PC or Mac and work as a second monitor. Similar to what iPad does with Sidecar. That pen and mat screen would make it worth it as a budget/portable option. Great video as always!
@@DestroyerV doesn’t work on Mac though. It’s a shame, there is an app called virtual tablet that turns it into an intuos style tablet, and that app works with Mac.
I use Easy Canvas to connect my iPad to my PC, it’s $15 to purchase and well worth the money even if I just use my iPad as a cheap and small second monitor There should be a version for android
But thats not the point of an android tablet (besides you can do it with drivers fairly easily on any android device) But this is a standalone tablet, not a pen display
That offset cursor is unacceptable, especially if you're an artist who works with precise lineart. If they manage to fix it, I hope Brad shows it in a comparison video.
For those wondering about calibration, there is an "Advanced features" setting which can allow you to manually calibrate the pen (maybe somewhere around -3 to -8 is a good range but, choose based on what is comfortable to you). You would have to update the tablet, if it doesn't come updated already. If you're buying directly from XP-Pen site, from this point, you might already have a recently updated one.
As seems to be the norm with XP Pen and Huion,...I get 90% invested into pulling the trigger on ANY of their products and BAM....there arrives the "But" in Brad's review! This was no exception. The offset cursor is a DEAL KILLER and really should be for ANY artist!!! C'mon guys.....FIX THAT!!!! Let the artist calibrate it to THEIR desired level of accuracy; NOT YOURS! Kudos to Brad for being such a FANTASTIC reviewer with all of these products and looking at this from an artist's perspective! He has probably single handedly saved many of us thousands of dollars and hours of return hassles due to products that "just fall short" in real use applications. Thanks Brad!!!
to be fair i do believe drawing software gives you the option to adjust cursor at least so there's always that. i know you can go into preferences in CSP and offset the cursor under touch settings. (also in Ibis too)
As someone who has used a Nintendo DSi for the past 13 years, I can say you can get used to it. Especially when there's a cursor that's on screen before you even touch the screen. If anything, some offset is actually kind of nice because your pen tip DOES cover up where you're drawing, and having some offset lets you actually see where you're drawing. What actually does suck tho is parallax.
Hey Brad. I bought this tablet and think it's awesome. I found out how to calibrate the cursor also. If you go into the advance settings and go to handwriting offset you can adjust the cursor to where it's directly under your pen using the arrows to the right. I hope this helps for anyone looking to buy this product. One of the best purchases I made this year. Also there is still a slight lag but you will never notice. Love the kids. Keep doing what you're doing. Oh and don't ever forget the glove dance. It's a highlight ! Lol
note the s9fe is $200 more if you get the same specs & screen size. If you get the smaller one it's $20 more. If you get smaller and worse specs its $50 less
I've been trying this tablet and I noticed that the cursor offset is the worst in CSP (unfortunately), it felt better when I tested it in other drawing apps. So I tried a workaround by adjusting Touch Position in CSP's Preferences and it helped improve it a bit. If this is a software issue that can be fixed in future updates like comments said then I can't wait for that.
Brad, I hope you don't quit. Over the years the production quality and clarity of your reviews and coaching have greatly improved. But your basic "philosophy" of technology for graphic arts has been solid IMO. Most of my life I was a happy analog artist at night and and IT guy during the day. I was delighted when the two were united and have continued to evolve into a greater creative reality. TH-cam is great from a viewer perspective, not so great, I understand, from the producer/creator role. Count me as one who would follow/pay you if you decide to leave because it's not fun anymore. You are best when you are enjoying yourself. Now, that's my 120 words.
With my unit I only had some offset with the X3 pro pen and no even near to yours, with the original pen of the tablet I don't have any parallax. I hope XP Pen fix it with a calibration tool. Nice review as always! Edit : They added a calibration tool in the last update
It's the most perfect Android tablet for drawing for now. And it really born to be drawn. It's even better than iPad Pro in some aspects, especially with the variety of pen options. You're not stuck with just one model of Applepencil like the iPad Pro (only pressure sensitive pens count). Because for drawing, the weight, shape and grip of the pen affects everything, so having an options will make it suitable for everyone. What I think it lacks in comparison to the iPad is only processing power and an ecosystem in their software. These releases make me eager to see the day they continue to raise the level of competition on their higher model. Maybe increase the processing power by using a flagship processor and a bright colourful 120 hz screen. But all of this said would be no value if the cursor is not getting fix. Hope they fix this soon and enable ability to self-calibrate.😂
the cursor has a work around someone said. but seriously ikr?? the other tabs do drawing as a bonus feature. THIS ONE IS MADE FOR ART. I'm honestly gonna buy it, I was going for Samsung but I don't need the fancy cameras and other features
@ChinZu Thanks for your note. Is this tablet compatible with other EMR pens such as the LAMY EMR, the Kindle Scribe pen or the Samsung pens? I use all my EMR pens across my Samsung phone, tablet and Kindle Scribe and love this flexibility. Thanks for sharing your experiences and advising
I appreciate all the reviews and the pace at which Brad churns them out but I feel like every two weeks I am more undecided as to what is the hands down best buy for a budget up to $500.
Finally XP-Pen comes out with a standalone tablet, but they really need to iron out the kinks, like the cursor misalignment. Regardless, I'm excited for this development.
Apparently there is an update out which allows you to calibrate the cursor, in the settings menu. Also, I'm surprised it's not talked about more, that this tablet is just the TCL NXTPaper 12 pro, with xppen branding on it. Everything down to the pen is identical. They even left the TCL NXT screen settings app on it. The only difference is the TCL version supports tilt 🤷♂️.
The cursor offset is an inherent flaw of a passive type stylus. The screen is reading the location of the copper coil in the stylus as opposed to the plastic tip, which is just there for a replaceable contact point. Samsung gets around it by having the little rubber capacative tip on the S-Pen, if you watch closely you can see the cursor shift slightly when you hover/touch the stylus to the screen. For PC tablets you correct it through calibration, for XP pen to not have that option ready here is a huge oversight to me. They've got plenty of experience with passive styluses, they must have known this would happen.
@@mryoyo1234 it can but you may need to fiddle around with it, since you'd be connecting an android device to most likely a microsoft windows operating system.
I just ordered myself this tablet as I've been looking for ages and I do mean ages for a drawing tablet. I cannot wait for it to arrive so I can start drawing again. I usually draw via paper and it takes up so much space. So, finding this tablet after so many years of searching is perfect. I can't wait to officially go from paper drawings to digital drawings. I think this tablet is going to be a lot of fun.
@@HairyOldMen-n6q Well straight I'm going to tell you it's awesome. I love this tablet so much, the screen is so bright I only have the brightness up to 5% because it does not need to be any higher, the pen is lovely, the battery life is more than adequate and it's super smooth to draw with. I haven't taken the tablet outside yet to draw with it and tbh I don't think I ever will as I like drawing indoors. The speakers are so clear and loud, I don't even have them turned all the way up either. My honest feedback is if you're looking for a drawing tablet with extra perks of being accessible to the play store, with the bonus of being portable and the perfect size to draw on, then yes 100% this tablet is definitely the one to go for. Also, the price isn't too bad at all, I managed to buy it for £400 from their site as I used another discount code. 😊 I hope my feedback is useful
hey hi ! can you tell us hiw it went ? whats your experience with it ? i'd love to buy it but im still a bit unsure about it. have a great day and drawing journey !
@ezrouille Hey, I didn't end up buying this tablet, so I can't tell you how it is. I did buy a Samsung Galaxy S9 Tablet and I'm happy with it, it works very well.
I'm using an iPad now, but I really liked the feel of the XP-Pen pen when I used it (I have one as my pc non-screen tablet). Now we just need procreate for android
Think a big miss that i feel they should have done is give it a USB-c input so i could plug it into a computer use it as a normal drawing tablet as well. Idk no one has done this yet but im sure a lot of artist would love the idea, for on the go drawing and then also higher proccessing power for sculpting or other things
Honestly I really agree, I super love using like super portable tablets for art, but I also enjoy things like Krita and photoshop, just to get my art just that little bit more refined. At the moment I’m using an iPad Pro 11’ and it works so well! I’m loving it for like 90% of my creative process, but if I could just plug it into my laptop and use it on krita without lag, or weird lack of touch input or whatever with sidecar, like it would make it worth so much more to me.
Hi Brad! I got my Magic Drawing Pad and I found out that my Wacom Intuos Pro's pen is ALSO compatible with the Magic Drawing Pad and it's pressure sensitive as well!
I just got this in the post and it's one of the nicest unboxing experiences I've ever had. Including a cover and all the extras was excellent. I haven't even drawn on it yet.. but I'm hyped.
@thefloorhasgone It is indeed . To be honest.. I have no experience in digital art whatsoever😓. I have so much to learn 😮 just start to draw neuro art in Concepts and it's an amazing experience👌🏻🌟
I think this product is a test item. To see if there is a market for stand-alone drawing tablets. I hope that with enough support and market for it, not only more refined tablets but more size options along with more competitors.
Gosh, I'm torn. I'm planning to buy an android tablet soon as a mobile supplement to my desktop Wacom Intuos Pro setup. I was all set on the Samsung F9 FE+ then this comes out... Still leaning Samsung because that water and dust resistance is clutch with a toddler at home, but I'm not sure
Thanks for the review, Brad! It's interesting to see XP-Pen move into this market. I think a comparison video between this tablet and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE would be more useful than comparing it to the Huion android tablet. The Huion is such a misstep that it's not even worth talking about after the initial review. The XP-Pen Magic and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE are directly comparable and are likely what artists looking to get an Android tablet will be choosing between.
I am here because of your art. i also did your course by the way. i am also here because my brother want so much this xp pen,he is an huge fan of xp pen and im helping hin to buy it >D I love your art style
I was checking after this video the TCL advert from the TCL tablet Nxtpaper 14 Pro and discovered by mere chance that the XP Pen Magic Drawing Pad is actually the TCL Nxtpaper 12 Pro, that's if with the exclusive support of the xppen technology of the stylus. It's exactly the same tablet, the same color, processor, etc. That means that accessory such as the cover with lid and keyboard are shared with this tablet in addition to being a brand with experience in phones and tablet. which can give certainty of the quality of the tablet ( text translated by firefox translate )
I am such an XPPEN simp, I've owned the deco star, the 22e Pro, and the 24 Pro atm. Each time I've upgraded I've gifted the tablet to someone I know but I digress. What I love about the 24 pro is the 60 degrees tilt function. I want to love, and own this tablet but I think waiting and seeing if they come out with an upgraded version is the best bet. If they can have a tablet with tilt function it will rival the iPad on an insane level.
3x2 screen! The best ratio. iPad too squarish, Samsung too narrow. Realize that the giant Samsung S9 ultra with a 14-in screen, in the narrow direction is still only as big as the iPad 12. I have an S7+. Also a huge plus to have a textured glass screen built in. Texture screen protectors are a bad idea and they just wear out and you have to replace them. However it's hard to steer away from Samsung, overall all they just make incredible hardware and software.
Damm, had they given these windows instead, it would have been a great drawing device. There is no reason as to why you should get this over a Galaxy or iPad. Even the pen seems to be worse than the S pen and the Apple pen, honestly expected more from a company focused solely on drawing devices.
Hi everyone, Is this tablet compatible with other EMR pens such as the LAMY EMR, the Kindle Scribe pen or the Samsung pens? I use all my EMR pens across my Samsung phone, tablet and Kindle Scribe and love this flexibility. Thanks for sharing your experiences and advising
So I would like to ask, in terms of both normal usage and as an artist, what would be better xp-pen magic drawing pad or galaxy tab S9 FE? And about the screen graphic
I have an Android Tablet myself and I love that more and more good Tablets for creatives are available. Also in the mid-price-range. I hope that way we can all benefit from companies putting their Tablet Apps out on Android.
I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing here from XP-Pen. Being able to use the "big stylus" I really really like. I've been trying to get the Apple Pencil to mimic the form factor with sleeves and such, but nothing really gets there. I'd like to see a top of the line processor in there though, cause my CSP documents can get a heavy and that liquify tool and brushes(at large sizes) just eat processor power.
Question: Is Clip Studio Paint a subscription on this Magic Pad or can you permanently buy it like on computers/laptops? I wanna get one to replace my iPad cuz it bugs out sometimes...And I just love XP Pen in general.
There is one thing that bugs me, it is the camera I see on the back, I never used a camera on a tablet and can not see a point for it with a drawing device, so it look like a extra bump that make it problematic resting on a flat surface. How was that, was it a too large bump or do you need the cover to get it flat?
At this price range is it better to pick a xiaomi pad 6 + its pen? Does the 16k sensitive points make a real difference in precision against a 4k one? Thx by advance for the response ;)
great review as usual! i'm looking to get an ipad pro replacement and this seems like a solid choice. i've just about had it with the apple pencil. it needing to be recharged, it feeling too heavy to draw with for long periods (i have joint issues in my hands now and it makes holding the pencil worse) and especially after experiencing what a proper graphics pen feels like with another xxpen tablet i have, i just can't go back. it's so much lighter and battery free, and i like that's it's not hyper sensitive like the apple pencil is which i know most people like...but in my case less is more; when i look at my work on the ipad compared to desktop clipstudio paint...you would never guess it was drawn by the same artist. it was making me really sad and not wanting sketch anmore. i'm dying to be able to use clipstudio on the go but still have the same experience as if i'm using my graphics tablet. so hopefully it runs smoothly. P.S. what graphics pen did you use in the video as an alternative? it looked so comfy and high end lol.
Yup, this thing has its sights right on the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe plus' customer base 👀 In my country, the Xp-pen is quite a bit cheaper than its Samsung counterpart so Xp-pen takes the W for me.
For me, the one aspect in which this one is better is that it's matte... one can apply a matte screen protector to an S7, 8, 9, but it's often a color quality loss, while here brad says colors are quite good, despite being matte. If with an update the fine tune the parallax or tip offset problem, they have a winner tablet. Rarely as good as a S9 FE (I have the S7 FE), but all in all... I could recommend this over the S9 due to price (as even in the US/EU prices it is actually cheaper than the S9 FE) and the matte thing, specially for people not too nerd about screen protectors.
The one thing that Samsung is better is the software and hardware side, they've been doing Android tablets for years and therefore got more experience. Xp-Pen's hardware seems a bit mediocre here, but that will hopefully improve in the future models
The much, much safer version will be the samsung. Faster processor, better os, samsung dex, 90hz screen, and more The only thing that makes this tablet interesting is the ability to use their pen tablet stylus that has better ergonomics and the built-in matte screen. Also the price might be lower than the s9 fe but I'd personally pick the s6 lite over this
I appreciate your videos so much. I can count on one had how many artists review for Android it's sad but greatly for the handful who do a great job. I'll be sticking with the 9FE for now. Not sure if any know the XP Pen Deco v2 pen works with the 9FE model in certain drawing apps I was really surprised.
the only reason I grabbed an android tablet is Krita. But since the recent Microsoft Surface has 120Hz refresh rate and it can literally do everything, I just quitted that idea
Hope you decide to read this but here goes: I’m an artist who’s getting their first ever drawing tablet for my upcoming birthday and wanted your advice! I’ve been watching your videos and can tell that you really know what you’re talking about when it comes to these devices and wanted your opinion. Two drawing tablets I’ve been eyeing was the XP Pen Artist Pro 16 (which I found out about because of your video) and the XP Pen Innovator 16. In your personal opinion, which one would be best for someone who’s just starting on their digital art journey? Also if there’s any other tablets that you’d recommend please let me know!
Hi Brad, I'm looking into buying this tablet so thanks a lot for this review. I read somewhere the offset and tilt issues should've been fixed with an update. Can you confirm this or? Also have you tried 3D sculpting with it? I'm looking to buy it so I can sculpt in Nomad Sculpt.
I was doing some research on my own about this tablet. According to a review question and response from XP posted on Aug 29,2024, the current tablet model will not support Tilt function (at all) regardless of pen. However, there has been a driver update to add a calibration setting for the offset issue. So you can fix the cursor /pen tip offset, but tablet itself can not upgrade for Tilt function (wasn't built into it).
Thanks for your review. I just wonder if I can import some picture or drawings I've already made for real to customise them with this tablet? Sorry I'm a newbie with this kind of device 😅.
XP-Pen first foray looks to be considerably better than Huion's and I appreciate your review. However, I'm not seeing, beyond the ability to use their own pens (which should be a "feature" not a "bug"), anything to replace Samsung since the devices are pretty much the same size. And Samsung tablets are always dropping in price not to mention the secondary market. I wish XP-Pen would have gone "all in" on creating a knock-out product instead of seemingly trying to hedge their bets with a standard Android tablet. The world doesn't need yet "another" Android tablet but artists and creative people could really use a stand-out device specific to art/creatives.
It would be nice if they added a "hybrid" function like Wacom did with its abandoned CIntiq hybrid from 2015, which had Android mode and made it possible to connect with a second monitor. The prices are very close, but this one is infinitely superior in terms of specifications and Wacom did not support Android updates, which remained at version 4. This will be launched with version 12, I hope it will have support for updates in the coming years.
Brad, do you know about the new huawei tablet with a paperlike screen and a new gopaint application for drawing? I want to consider buying it but when I return to this xp pen drawing pad, I'm confused because it looks almost identical??? That's why I'm searching for pros and cons about both gadgets, because I want to use my tablet not only for drawing but also for gaming. I'm currently still searching for many references because I only know a few artists that use the new huawei matepad, I'll wait for more reviews so I can consider it before buying it
I would have liked to know if the tablet comes with a native art program or if GIMP could be installed on it. Good review! Most likely I'll be waiting for this thing to evolve over time before investing.
(5:23) I could tell that wasn't stock Android, but a manufacturer UX on top of Android as evidenced by the design of the notification shade. I can't identify the specific UX that's on it, but it reminds me of ColorOS (Oppo), FunTouch (Vivo), and OxygenOS (OnePlus). It appears to me to be not as heavy as One UI (Samsung Galaxy) is, though. (7:21) I remember Hugh Jeffreys making a video about his theories as to why they don't include power adaptors and earphones.
Very interesting... I recently went through the process of considering various Samsung Galaxy tablets. But I decided to go with a Surface Pro 9. I like it, especially since I can install the full version of ArtRage. Just curious Brad: how do you think the XP-Pen compares to the Surface Pro 9 for drawing and art?
How's the color calibration and color representation? I want a tablet for occasional on-the-go photo editing. But Samsung's and Lenovos tablets are overly saturated and contrasty to make colors pop, but it's therefore not really accurate. And I don't want to have an apple device. This being aimed for artists I'd presume the accuracy is better?
I literally just bought a samsung tab s9 ultra like 3 months ago. Ive discovered that im to nervous to bring something that expensive out in public so i might think of exchange it to this one if the stars (price to performance) align.
Okay I have only one very very important question: What about the os update? So its an android device and well after sime time the os and the softwares be slow. How far its usable after the os will be well... old and no android update for the device? Please help 🙏🙏🙏
I spent a long time choosing a tablet, bought an iPad and regretted it. The Apple Pencil 2 is simply terrible. I think this tablet could be a good alternative. I hope so.
2:50 I've always found my XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro is never calibrated correctly, no matter how many times I try to recalibrate. Even their support staff told me it's a parallax issue that won't go away (even though the description of the tablet on their site said it has zero parallax). I'm hoping a Cintiq Pro will be better, as this is driving me crazy.
Same here, my Artist 16 Pro can never be calibrated correctly as well. I think I just got used to it eventually but it would be so much nicer if we didn’t have this issue of course 🥲

Literally missing the mark
It's just a calibration thing, like all their product. You need calibrate tge pen at a 90 angle and it should be fine
It's going to throw me off but they can fix it in software
For those wondering about calibration, there is an "Advanced features" setting which can allow you to manually calibrate the pen (maybe somewhere around -3 to -8 is a good range but, choose based on what is comfortable to you). You would have to update the tablet, if it doesn't come updated already. If you're buying directly from XP-Pen site, from this point, you might already have a recently updated one.

note the s9fe is $200 more if you get the same specs & screen size. If you get the smaller one it's $20 more. If you get smaller and worse specs its $50 less
I've been trying this tablet and I noticed that the cursor offset is the worst in CSP (unfortunately), it felt better when I tested it in other drawing apps. So I tried a workaround by adjusting Touch Position in CSP's Preferences and it helped improve it a bit.
If this is a software issue that can be fixed in future updates like comments said then I can't wait for that.
Brad, I hope you don't quit. Over the years the production quality and clarity of your reviews and coaching have greatly improved. But your basic "philosophy" of technology for graphic arts has been solid IMO. Most of my life I was a happy analog artist at night and and IT guy during the day. I was delighted when the two were united and have continued to evolve into a greater creative reality. TH-cam is great from a viewer perspective, not so great, I understand, from the producer/creator role. Count me as one who would follow/pay you if you decide to leave because it's not fun anymore. You are best when you are enjoying yourself. Now, that's my 120 words.
Should have been called the XP-Pad
And run windows XP
Their marketing team should take note of this! Haha!
With my unit I only had some offset with the X3 pro pen and no even near to yours, with the original pen of the tablet I don't have any parallax. I hope XP Pen fix it with a calibration tool.
Nice review as always!
Edit : They added a calibration tool in the last update
It's the most perfect Android tablet for drawing for now. And it really born to be drawn. It's even better than iPad Pro in some aspects, especially with the variety of pen options. You're not stuck with just one model of Applepencil like the iPad Pro (only pressure sensitive pens count). Because for drawing, the weight, shape and grip of the pen affects everything, so having an options will make it suitable for everyone. What I think it lacks in comparison to the iPad is only processing power and an ecosystem in their software.
These releases make me eager to see the day they continue to raise the level of competition on their higher model. Maybe increase the processing power by using a flagship processor and a bright colourful 120 hz screen.
But all of this said would be no value if the cursor is not getting fix. Hope they fix this soon and enable ability to self-calibrate.😂
the cursor has a work around someone said. but seriously ikr?? the other tabs do drawing as a bonus feature. THIS ONE IS MADE FOR ART. I'm honestly gonna buy it, I was going for Samsung but I don't need the fancy cameras and other features
the smasung s9 was said to be catered for artists though. and has better specs than other tabs
@@flufferpants4812what was the workaround, do you know?
@@astralram calibrate the cursor angle so it matches the pen tip. it's in the comment section if you wanna ask the guy who commented it
@ChinZu Thanks for your note. Is this tablet compatible with other EMR pens such as the LAMY EMR, the Kindle Scribe pen or the Samsung pens? I use all my EMR pens across my Samsung phone, tablet and Kindle Scribe and love this flexibility. Thanks for sharing your experiences and advising
I appreciate all the reviews and the pace at which Brad churns them out but I feel like every two weeks I am more undecided as to what is the hands down best buy for a budget up to $500.
Finally XP-Pen comes out with a standalone tablet, but they really need to iron out the kinks, like the cursor misalignment.
Regardless, I'm excited for this development.
Apparently there is an update out which allows you to calibrate the cursor, in the settings menu. Also, I'm surprised it's not talked about more, that this tablet is just the TCL NXTPaper 12 pro, with xppen branding on it. Everything down to the pen is identical. They even left the TCL NXT screen settings app on it. The only difference is the TCL version supports tilt 🤷♂️.
Strange happenings. The Ugee UT3 is a rebrand of the TCL Nxt paper 14 and 14pro. Such a big tablet doesn't even have pogo keyboard.
The offset cursor is a deal breaker unless they can fix it.
I wonder if it looks worse here than in person, it's literally perfect with the price point except for that offset
I know!!! It's CRAZY that they let it go out that way! Let US calibrate it to OUR specific needs!!! So close with this. But yet......sooooo far!
The cursor offset is an inherent flaw of a passive type stylus. The screen is reading the location of the copper coil in the stylus as opposed to the plastic tip, which is just there for a replaceable contact point. Samsung gets around it by having the little rubber capacative tip on the S-Pen, if you watch closely you can see the cursor shift slightly when you hover/touch the stylus to the screen. For PC tablets you correct it through calibration, for XP pen to not have that option ready here is a huge oversight to me. They've got plenty of experience with passive styluses, they must have known this would happen.
Samsung pen accuracy still works the same without the rubber tip, i think it just further proves that they simply did it better
That's cool. Hope we see more drawing-oriented android tablets!
One thing that would make a tablet like this banger is option to use it as a drawing pen display for PC for an easy on the go option
So it can't be used for that?
@@mryoyo1234 it can but you may need to fiddle around with it, since you'd be connecting an android device to most likely a microsoft windows operating system.
@@mryoyo1234 - superdisplay or Duet app on the android store.
I just ordered myself this tablet as I've been looking for ages and I do mean ages for a drawing tablet. I cannot wait for it to arrive so I can start drawing again. I usually draw via paper and it takes up so much space. So, finding this tablet after so many years of searching is perfect. I can't wait to officially go from paper drawings to digital drawings. I think this tablet is going to be a lot of fun.
I'm thinking of ordering it, if you've tried it out, I'd appreciate feedback
@@HairyOldMen-n6q Well straight I'm going to tell you it's awesome. I love this tablet so much, the screen is so bright I only have the brightness up to 5% because it does not need to be any higher, the pen is lovely, the battery life is more than adequate and it's super smooth to draw with. I haven't taken the tablet outside yet to draw with it and tbh I don't think I ever will as I like drawing indoors. The speakers are so clear and loud, I don't even have them turned all the way up either.
My honest feedback is if you're looking for a drawing tablet with extra perks of being accessible to the play store, with the bonus of being portable and the perfect size to draw on, then yes 100% this tablet is definitely the one to go for. Also, the price isn't too bad at all, I managed to buy it for £400 from their site as I used another discount code. 😊 I hope my feedback is useful
hey hi ! can you tell us hiw it went ? whats your experience with it ? i'd love to buy it but im still a bit unsure about it.
have a great day and drawing journey !
@ezrouille Hey, I didn't end up buying this tablet, so I can't tell you how it is. I did buy a Samsung Galaxy S9 Tablet and I'm happy with it, it works very well.
I'm using an iPad now, but I really liked the feel of the XP-Pen pen when I used it (I have one as my pc non-screen tablet). Now we just need procreate for android
Think a big miss that i feel they should have done is give it a USB-c input so i could plug it into a computer use it as a normal drawing tablet as well. Idk no one has done this yet but im sure a lot of artist would love the idea, for on the go drawing and then also higher proccessing power for sculpting or other things
Honestly I really agree, I super love using like super portable tablets for art, but I also enjoy things like Krita and photoshop, just to get my art just that little bit more refined. At the moment I’m using an iPad Pro 11’ and it works so well! I’m loving it for like 90% of my creative process, but if I could just plug it into my laptop and use it on krita without lag, or weird lack of touch input or whatever with sidecar, like it would make it worth so much more to me.
Hi Brad! I got my Magic Drawing Pad and I found out that my Wacom Intuos Pro's pen is ALSO compatible with the Magic Drawing Pad and it's pressure sensitive as well!
Holy beep that’s awesome! :D
I just got this in the post and it's one of the nicest unboxing experiences I've ever had. Including a cover and all the extras was excellent. I haven't even drawn on it yet.. but I'm hyped.
I received mine this morning. 😊 May you have lots of magical experiences with it 🎉
Actually.. this is a decent tablet. Really enjoying it
@thefloorhasgone It is indeed .
To be honest.. I have no experience in digital art whatsoever😓. I have so much to learn 😮 just start to draw neuro art in Concepts and it's an amazing experience👌🏻🌟
the wallpaper and illustration on the box are by Paula Cruz! She is an awesome brazilian illustrator and designer
Oh heck yea, more small bros going into iPad territory!
I still prefer iPad, but it's great to see some competition growing, everyone wins from that
What would make this even better is if you can connect it to PC, and use it as any other drawing tablet. That would be awesome.
it’s an android table so you can
I would have loved for all these options to be available to me when I was younger XD
Can't wait to see huion and xpen improve their android tablet. Oh I'm sure you'll be reviewing the huion 27 soon
I think this product is a test item. To see if there is a market for stand-alone drawing tablets. I hope that with enough support and market for it, not only more refined tablets but more size options along with more competitors.
Gosh, I'm torn. I'm planning to buy an android tablet soon as a mobile supplement to my desktop Wacom Intuos Pro setup.
I was all set on the Samsung F9 FE+ then this comes out...
Still leaning Samsung because that water and dust resistance is clutch with a toddler at home, but I'm not sure
I’m still satisfied with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE.
My face lit up when I saw the art glove. But unfortunately no glove dance haha. Great review though!
Thanks for the review, Brad! It's interesting to see XP-Pen move into this market. I think a comparison video between this tablet and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE would be more useful than comparing it to the Huion android tablet. The Huion is such a misstep that it's not even worth talking about after the initial review. The XP-Pen Magic and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE are directly comparable and are likely what artists looking to get an Android tablet will be choosing between.
This sounds tempting, specially since I already have an XP pen Pen display
I am here because of your art. i also did your course by the way. i am also here because my brother want so much this xp pen,he is an huge fan of xp pen and im helping hin to buy it >D
I love your art style
I was checking after this video the TCL advert from the TCL tablet Nxtpaper 14 Pro and discovered by mere chance that the XP Pen Magic Drawing Pad is actually the TCL Nxtpaper 12 Pro, that's if with the exclusive support of the xppen technology of the stylus. It's exactly the same tablet, the same color, processor, etc. That means that accessory such as the cover with lid and keyboard are shared with this tablet in addition to being a brand with experience in phones and tablet. which can give certainty of the quality of the tablet ( text translated by firefox translate )
The Ugee 14 is also a rebrand of a TCL Next paper 14 and 14 pro. As productivity devices it lacks a pogo keyboard.
I am such an XPPEN simp, I've owned the deco star, the 22e Pro, and the 24 Pro atm. Each time I've upgraded I've gifted the tablet to someone I know but I digress. What I love about the 24 pro is the 60 degrees tilt function. I want to love, and own this tablet but I think waiting and seeing if they come out with an upgraded version is the best bet. If they can have a tablet with tilt function it will rival the iPad on an insane level.
Does this thin pen also work on other xppen display tablets? Or is the compatibility one-way only?
3x2 screen! The best ratio. iPad too squarish, Samsung too narrow. Realize that the giant Samsung S9 ultra with a 14-in screen, in the narrow direction is still only as big as the iPad 12. I have an S7+. Also a huge plus to have a textured glass screen built in. Texture screen protectors are a bad idea and they just wear out and you have to replace them. However it's hard to steer away from Samsung, overall all they just make incredible hardware and software.
Damm, had they given these windows instead, it would have been a great drawing device. There is no reason as to why you should get this over a Galaxy or iPad. Even the pen seems to be worse than the S pen and the Apple pen, honestly expected more from a company focused solely on drawing devices.
Hi everyone, Is this tablet compatible with other EMR pens such as the LAMY EMR, the Kindle Scribe pen or the Samsung pens? I use all my EMR pens across my Samsung phone, tablet and Kindle Scribe and love this flexibility. Thanks for sharing your experiences and advising
So I would like to ask, in terms of both normal usage and as an artist, what would be better xp-pen magic drawing pad or galaxy tab S9 FE? And about the screen graphic
I have an Android Tablet myself and I love that more and more good Tablets for creatives are available. Also in the mid-price-range. I hope that way we can all benefit from companies putting their Tablet Apps out on Android.
With the Samsung S9 series, you can get a matte drawing cover as an accessory. I'd love to see how that compares to this with it basically built in.
Does it support photoshop, Adobe illustrator and toon boom harmony and 3d maya?
Definitely I may stick with this before I buy an iPad for drawing this is definitely going to be have to have and use once I get it
could you compare this drawing pad to the ipad pro ? i really want to know which one is better for drawing and long term usage. tysm
I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing here from XP-Pen. Being able to use the "big stylus" I really really like. I've been trying to get the Apple Pencil to mimic the form factor with sleeves and such, but nothing really gets there. I'd like to see a top of the line processor in there though, cause my CSP documents can get a heavy and that liquify tool and brushes(at large sizes) just eat processor power.
Question: Is Clip Studio Paint a subscription on this Magic Pad or can you permanently buy it like on computers/laptops? I wanna get one to replace my iPad cuz it bugs out sometimes...And I just love XP Pen in general.
just like with any other android tablet, you need a subscription to use CSP. sadly no permanent license is available 😔
Damn. Thanks for telling me! I appreciate it!@@astralram
There is one thing that bugs me, it is the camera I see on the back, I never used a camera on a tablet and can not see a point for it with a drawing device, so it look like a extra bump that make it problematic resting on a flat surface. How was that, was it a too large bump or do you need the cover to get it flat?
The boot animation is indeed pretty cool.
At this price range is it better to pick a xiaomi pad 6 + its pen? Does the 16k sensitive points make a real difference in precision against a 4k one?
Thx by advance for the response ;)
Pad 6 has wobble which DESTROYS it tbh. 16k and 4k can make a difference but many people make great art with 4k
How well does it handle Krita?
Your new camera is certainly showing off in this video!!
Ok here we go. What is better what would you buy and prefer. This or the Galaxy tab S9 FE? They are pretty much the same.
great review as usual!
i'm looking to get an ipad pro replacement and this seems like a solid choice. i've just about had it with the apple pencil. it needing to be recharged, it feeling too heavy to draw with for long periods (i have joint issues in my hands now and it makes holding the pencil worse) and especially after experiencing what a proper graphics pen feels like with another xxpen tablet i have, i just can't go back. it's so much lighter and battery free, and i like that's it's not hyper sensitive like the apple pencil is which i know most people like...but in my case less is more; when i look at my work on the ipad compared to desktop clipstudio paint...you would never guess it was drawn by the same artist. it was making me really sad and not wanting sketch anmore.
i'm dying to be able to use clipstudio on the go but still have the same experience as if i'm using my graphics tablet. so hopefully it runs smoothly. P.S. what graphics pen did you use in the video as an alternative? it looked so comfy and high end lol.
Yup, this thing has its sights right on the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe plus' customer base 👀
In my country, the Xp-pen is quite a bit cheaper than its Samsung counterpart so Xp-pen takes the W for me.
For me, the one aspect in which this one is better is that it's matte... one can apply a matte screen protector to an S7, 8, 9, but it's often a color quality loss, while here brad says colors are quite good, despite being matte. If with an update the fine tune the parallax or tip offset problem, they have a winner tablet. Rarely as good as a S9 FE (I have the S7 FE), but all in all... I could recommend this over the S9 due to price (as even in the US/EU prices it is actually cheaper than the S9 FE) and the matte thing, specially for people not too nerd about screen protectors.
The one thing that Samsung is better is the software and hardware side, they've been doing Android tablets for years and therefore got more experience. Xp-Pen's hardware seems a bit mediocre here, but that will hopefully improve in the future models
Hey Brad. Great review. What is the name of the Huion tablet that you mentioned you will be reviewing?
Nomad Sculpt - what do you think? This tablet will be good for sculpt?
Hey Brad, thanks for the detailed review on both Huion and XP pen. But between the galaxy S9 FE and this which one would you choose??
The much, much safer version will be the samsung. Faster processor, better os, samsung dex, 90hz screen, and more
The only thing that makes this tablet interesting is the ability to use their pen tablet stylus that has better ergonomics and the built-in matte screen. Also the price might be lower than the s9 fe but I'd personally pick the s6 lite over this
@@ebiooo most of the wacom styluses work with Samsung.. So they're pretty evenly matched in that regard
@@luvoverthewall i didn't know that, good to know
I appreciate your videos so much. I can count on one had how many artists review for Android it's sad but greatly for the handful who do a great job. I'll be sticking with the 9FE for now. Not sure if any know the XP Pen Deco v2 pen works with the 9FE model in certain drawing apps I was really surprised.
Just bought an ipad air 13 inch but Im going to buy this for taking to work and travelling.
What is the screen like for photo editing? Would this be a good tablet for lightroom in combination with drwaing?
Thank you for your video. So it's seem that impossible to plug any headphones? Even any bluetooth headphones? True ?
I couldn't find a connection for headphones, though Bluetooth headphones works fine (listening with Bluetooth headphones on it right now lol)
the only reason I grabbed an android tablet is Krita. But since the recent Microsoft Surface has 120Hz refresh rate and it can literally do everything, I just quitted that idea
Hope you decide to read this but here goes:
I’m an artist who’s getting their first ever drawing tablet for my upcoming birthday and wanted your advice!
I’ve been watching your videos and can tell that you really know what you’re talking about when it comes to these devices and wanted your opinion.
Two drawing tablets I’ve been eyeing was the XP Pen Artist Pro 16 (which I found out about because of your video) and the XP Pen Innovator 16.
In your personal opinion, which one would be best for someone who’s just starting on their digital art journey? Also if there’s any other tablets that you’d recommend please let me know!
Hi Brad, I'm looking into buying this tablet so thanks a lot for this review.
I read somewhere the offset and tilt issues should've been fixed with an update. Can you confirm this or?
Also have you tried 3D sculpting with it? I'm looking to buy it so I can sculpt in Nomad Sculpt.
I was doing some research on my own about this tablet. According to a review question and response from XP posted on Aug 29,2024, the current tablet model will not support Tilt function (at all) regardless of pen. However, there has been a driver update to add a calibration setting for the offset issue. So you can fix the cursor /pen tip offset, but tablet itself can not upgrade for Tilt function (wasn't built into it).
Can u still connect it to your laptop ?
I can't find information about the screen measurement: is the 12.2" a diagonal measurement, or edge to edge?
192 height and 279 for the width
u can also use other wacon pens with samsung s tabs
Hopefully you're gonna get to review the Kamvas Pro 27 or 19. Since those are touch screens by Huion.
Saw some other video and the cursor was super spot on, it might be possible to calibrate it eventually…
Xp pen The magic drawing pad work with other pencil the same brand?
WHIC IS BETTER THE XIAMI PAD 6 OR XP PEN DRAWING PAD?
Thanks for your review. I just wonder if I can import some picture or drawings I've already made for real to customise them with this tablet? Sorry I'm a newbie with this kind of device 😅.
XP-Pen first foray looks to be considerably better than Huion's and I appreciate your review. However, I'm not seeing, beyond the ability to use their own pens (which should be a "feature" not a "bug"), anything to replace Samsung since the devices are pretty much the same size. And Samsung tablets are always dropping in price not to mention the secondary market. I wish XP-Pen would have gone "all in" on creating a knock-out product instead of seemingly trying to hedge their bets with a standard Android tablet. The world doesn't need yet "another" Android tablet but artists and creative people could really use a stand-out device specific to art/creatives.
What is the model of the other stylus you use in the video, I want to buy the tablet but I like the big stylus better.
You can look for "XP-Pen X3 Stylus/Pen"
S9FE+ or this?
Hello, is it possible to make it a second screen, to use photoshop on it like a normal tab ? USB, Blutooth ? Thank for your answer.
They would be top tier, I would like to see some Android tablet competition between Samsung and XP-Pen 🔥
It would be nice if they added a "hybrid" function like Wacom did with its abandoned CIntiq hybrid from 2015, which had Android mode and made it possible to connect with a second monitor.
The prices are very close, but this one is infinitely superior in terms of specifications and Wacom did not support Android updates, which remained at version 4. This will be launched with version 12, I hope it will have support for updates in the coming years.
have you noticed its the same tablet as the TCL NxtPaper 12 Pro
If you Download Clip studio paint, do you have to pay monthly or only one time on the tablet?
Brad, do you know about the new huawei tablet with a paperlike screen and a new gopaint application for drawing? I want to consider buying it but when I return to this xp pen drawing pad, I'm confused because it looks almost identical??? That's why I'm searching for pros and cons about both gadgets, because I want to use my tablet not only for drawing but also for gaming. I'm currently still searching for many references because I only know a few artists that use the new huawei matepad, I'll wait for more reviews so I can consider it before buying it
I would have liked to know if the tablet
comes with a native art program or if
GIMP could be installed on it.
Good review!
Most likely I'll be waiting for this thing
to evolve over time before investing.
(5:23) I could tell that wasn't stock Android, but a manufacturer UX on top of Android as evidenced by the design of the notification shade. I can't identify the specific UX that's on it, but it reminds me of ColorOS (Oppo), FunTouch (Vivo), and OxygenOS (OnePlus). It appears to me to be not as heavy as One UI (Samsung Galaxy) is, though.
(7:21) I remember Hugh Jeffreys making a video about his theories as to why they don't include power adaptors and earphones.
Very interesting... I recently went through the process of considering various Samsung Galaxy tablets. But I decided to go with a Surface Pro 9. I like it, especially since I can install the full version of ArtRage.
Just curious Brad: how do you think the XP-Pen compares to the Surface Pro 9 for drawing and art?
How's the color calibration and color representation? I want a tablet for occasional on-the-go photo editing. But Samsung's and Lenovos tablets are overly saturated and contrasty to make colors pop, but it's therefore not really accurate. And I don't want to have an apple device.
This being aimed for artists I'd presume the accuracy is better?
I literally just bought a samsung tab s9 ultra like 3 months ago. Ive discovered that im to nervous to bring something that expensive out in public so i might think of exchange it to this one if the stars (price to performance) align.
Do we know how it performs vs an iPad Pro first gen 12”? Mine is pretty much gone. The battery is poor for use now. Thanks
i hope xp pen do an affordable windows tablet
Okay I have only one very very important question: What about the os update? So its an android device and well after sime time the os and the softwares be slow. How far its usable after the os will be well... old and no android update for the device? Please help 🙏🙏🙏
i wish huion did something similar with their android
Could this XPEN compatible with my ZONKO android tablet? So I could buy one piece of your product?
I spent a long time choosing a tablet, bought an iPad and regretted it. The Apple Pencil 2 is simply terrible. I think this tablet could be a good alternative. I hope so.
Does the back camera intrude whe laid flat? would it wobble? logicaly it wasn't level
Brad, I saw that the calibration issue with the pen has been fixed. Are you able to verify this, please?
It's fixed, I have one
@@hime-senpai5938 thank you so much. Really considering getting one.
2:50 I've always found my XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro is never calibrated correctly, no matter how many times I try to recalibrate. Even their support staff told me it's a parallax issue that won't go away (even though the description of the tablet on their site said it has zero parallax). I'm hoping a Cintiq Pro will be better, as this is driving me crazy.
Same here, my Artist 16 Pro can never be calibrated correctly as well. I think I just got used to it eventually but it would be so much nicer if we didn’t have this issue of course 🥲
