I've been rocking a Galaxy Tab S6 with the SuperAMOLED 10.5" screen for 3+ years. It was a flagship in 2019 with a Snapdragon 855, 256Gb and 8GB RAM. WiFi-only, that works seamlessly with my Pixel 4a5G. I bought it specifically to fly my drone with a bigger better monitor than my smartphone. Tab S6 just got progressively better with each iteration of OneUI, now at Android 12 (4.1.1). Maybe my fav device, was a mint/new refurb with warranty for $320.
@@Alan-gu1hp So glad you said that second part, cause the play store will still be very much available on your outdated tablet and the app will still get the updates. It's not like a phone where you're connect 24/7 and need the extra security. Source: Me. My outdated tablet - and my old phone (Pixel 1) are still in airplane mode to this day. All wireless connections disable, but I connect to my private network when I want to use the Play Store. Just in case someone asks, I use my Pixel as a camera with Droidcam. The tablet, I actually sold last week, so "to this day" was a lie. But not a huge one - I replaced it with a broken laptop that i fixed (except for the sound...). The pen cursor is a little offset no matter which pen I use so I kinda miss may Tab S4 already...
Personally if I could give any advice is: get as much storage as you can seriously don't get anything in the double digits storage wise if you can get between 256gb and above great but at least get 128 seriously as someone whose used a cheaper iPad model as a daily driver and even to as a tool when I got into art school to work anywhere and on my desktop. Storage has been the biggest deterrent to my workflow over time and its made a huge impact on how I do things on my iPad it's gotten to the point were the awful 32gb I had were putting me at risk of losing progress on heavier pieces just because of file size and how it slows down the performance of my tablet. Please future-proof I've been using my iPad for 4 years and in the 1 year I've drawn the most and have used it to make assignments for my classes I now need an upgrade just because of this.
@@rajivvishwa that's easy to answer. Make something too good and people won't buy the next iteration. Apple has always made their products with that in mind. They slipped up with the iPad pro when the m chips were being put into them and since they made so much money off of it, they couldn't possibly make it a one and done.
Hi Brad, this was an excellent video and it got a like from me. I have been lazy and haven't kept up with any of my drawing or digital art for many years now. I just got the itch to get back to doing digital art a few days ago, and traded in my old iPad mini (6 gen) to the new M4 iPad Pro 13" specifically to have a full size art canvas to be used with Procreate and of course the larger screen will also be amazing for watching movies and tv on the go. Last night I did my first digital painting in at least 5 years, and as rusty as I am it still turned out great. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video.
Forgive me if you mentioned this and somehow I missed it in the video, but one thing to point out - the ninth generation iPad for $199 only comes with 64 gigs of storage. The Samsung I believe comes with 128 gigs and I’m not sure, but many of their tablets also have a microSD card so you can expand the storage even further.
Great information! I bought a Tab S7+ instead of a dedicated drawing tablet (early 2021), and it replaced my laptop. Draws so good, and is a great computer that I still use every day. Good call out on the S6 Lite. I bought my Dad the OG S6 Lite and it's definitely laggy 3 1/2 years later. Still great for drawing, still has a good looking screen, but as a computer it struggles. If you can stretch for a flagship instead of a Lite or FE, it definitely retains usability for longer.
I finally caved and bought an ipad Pro 11" (etched screen). While I love the feeling of drawing on it, I absolutely LOATHE the ipad OS. It's clunky, user-unfriendly, counter-intuitive, restrictive and ugly. It's everything that I dislike about Apple products. I simply can't fathom how people use Apple devices on a daily basis. Even something as a simple as installing a font becomes a ridiculously convoluted task. It's an utterly absurd experience. If there was a comparitive Windows device, I'd jump ship in a heartbeat. If Adobe Fresco ever comes to Android, then I'll sell my ipad immediately.
yeah, I had the same experience, got an iPad pro 12" and I just couldn't with the OS. File management was a nightmare and I just kept running into unnecessary restrictions. In the end I came back to the surface pro, which is also definitely not perfect, but it works better for me.
@@MrXlee1967 $1100 is not expensive for a laptop with 16GB of RAM lol. Hasn't been since 2020 - but it IS overpriced for the processor. That said, th power is more than enough for digital art. Unless you're doing 3D. But if you're doing 3D, why arent you using a desktop?
Over here it's quite a different story. The iPad 9th gen is €320 and the Apple Pencil is €90... €410 in total. The Galaxy S6 Lite 2024 is €259 and the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe is €348. Apple is just too expensive here to even consider. Personally due to the lack of RAM and storage on both the iPad and S6 Lite, I would get the S9 Fe with 6Gb or RAM and 128Gb of storage if I had to start on a budget. I like the S9 Fe, I have the 256Gb version that comes with 8Gb of RAM. I'm now working on an artwork that is 4900x200 pixels, has already 120 layers and tons of small details in it and the S9 Fe is still managing well without hiccups or slow downs. I have a 4Gb tablet as well and it can't handle the artwork anymore, it's stopped when I wasn't even halfway through. For the 9 Fe with 256Gb of storage and 8Gb of memory, I paid €400. That's still less than that way older iPad. The extra investment for the better screen, better color accuracy, better cpu/gpu and more memory and storage makes all the difference for me and is worth the extra investment.
Anyone watching this and are considering the s6 lite. Stay away from it. Don’t get me wrong it’s a decent tablet but it’s not very future proof. The 4 gbs of ram and 64 gb is realistically 2 gbs of ram and like 50 gbs. If you play games it’s only has 60hz and it’s not the smoothest experience. I ended up returning mine and getting the s10 plus cause it fit my needs better. Definitely go with the s9fe that usually on sale for around $329. Which is worth the extra cost from the s6 lite. If you want the full dex experience go with a renowned tab s8 that you can get on amazon around $340. I guarantee the experience would be much nicer.
@@gabrielmulkey8014yes i did, like it worked fine. But you really see the age. For 2024 I just wouldn’t recommend it. It’s great for kids or teens or light usage. But for around $250 there’s a lot of better options
What about the XP Pen Magic Pad. I'm finding it great for sketching and animation work, it's light and really fast. And it's got a massive wide screen.
I may be biased, but the fairly recent XP Pen Magic Tab has been a great product I've used so far. It is on the higher end ( I believe somewhere between $400-$500), but the stylus is very well designed and I feel is the Android equivalent to Apple's iPad and Pencil
i got the 2020 version 3 years ago + other than audio switching off when i went into ibis + screen ghosting, it still works perfectly fine. I'm upgrading to an s9fe now, but my sibbling's gonna take the s6 lite + hopefully it'll last them for another year or 2, we'll see
Yes it does , stay far away. Unlike apple . Android apps are not optimized for low ram amount. I have my ipad 2021 3gb ram . Procreate works like a charm . No performance slow down. But on Android, 8 gb should be the absolute minimum you should go to
Brad! I watched your videos religiously and around the Black Friday discounts I managed to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE for around 650! Normally where I live they go for around 800, so 650 is the same price you'd pay for the S6 Lite 2024 normally. Really a great steal for the money! So far my experience has been great, can't wait to start using it more for my personal projects! Thank you for all the honest reviews, extremely helpful! :)
I use the s9 fe plus and I love it, I use clip studio art on it and I bought a Dexnor keyboard for it and a wireless true bluetooth mouse and i play minecraft on it and it runs really smooth
for art I don’t really use any of the features of the newer pencils. I’m pretty slow when it comes to drawing anyway, which might be part of it, but i generally just click the buttons and adjust everything on the screen manually. When note taking, I use the squeeze feature a lot to switch colors/tools (btw: for a great note taking app and a pretty good pdf viewer on the iPad, Noteful is amazing. The free version is alright, but Pro costs $10 one time, it’s great) but it never really comes in handy when drawing - too many options to choose from and modify for it to be useful.
btw if you’re purchasing an m1 air or an older pro, you might be able to snag a deal on the Apple Pencil 2: both used and new ones often go for quite a bit cheaper than msrp as there aren’t any current gen iPads that support it
Hey would you consider looking at Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 2025? It is only 230$ with the pen on Aliexpress sales and it comes with a 144hz screen and Dimensity 8300 which is comparable to the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 of Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 ultra. I've also heard the pen improved dramatically too but I've been wanting an artist opinion about it. It's arguably the best value tablet right now
Seems like you are missing the Lenovo P12 tablet from your reviews. I believe it has a matte finish and a laminated screen. Can use it with the precision pen.
What would you recommend a digital artist who is just starting out with hand drawing through digital mediums and who is also living below the poverty level to start out with please? Thank you.
buy a pen tablet that could connect with your smartphone. download any art app that you’d want to use. plug in the drawing tablet then you’re good to go. 😊
Compared to the S9 FE, would you say the upgrade from the S6 lite 2024 is worth it? (I'm trying to decide which to get, long time artist here needing a mobile tablet).
Hi. Can you suggest a screen with a paper-like feel for Android (specifically Samsung s9 Fe), or even nibs for the S pen? There are a few versions at a reasonable price for iPads. I prefer a more controlled, paper texture when using my tablet to draw. Thanks for your assistance
If I already have a computer to attach a pad to, would an xp pen be better? And yeah, I remember my younger sister had one of those non screen drawing platforms awhile ago, and I felt completly disoriented
I would like to suggest if you could mention which variant to spend on. Also, is samsung tab s9 fe with 6gb ram and 128 gb rom paired with exynos 1380 processor good enough for drawing even at a tight budget???
The S9 fe has a newer processor and 5GB RAM, it will easily cope with drawing Apps. I have an S8 and that runs Godot / Clip Studio / Krita etc etc without any problems.
Im currently on a wacom intuous (medium) non screen tablet, I'm not sure whether I should either upgrade to a better tablet (EX: Wacom one, cintique pro 16, etc),or a bigger non screen tablet, or just get an iPad. I work on a webcomic, use CSP, and overall just want to upgrade my drawing expereince. The iPad does seem like a good option though Im not sure if drawing on ipad will feel the same as drawing on a regular plain old art tablet. Can you give some advice ?
I personally got a ipad air 4th gen on apple certified redurbished for about 200$ and traded in my ancient ipad mini. I love procreate and the pen but the pen just sropped working and I eeally hate the idea that to feplace something that is a large part of why i got the ipad wpuld be 90$-130$ everytime and i could buy a samsung or Lenovo tablet for two of those. So im looking to switch from apple because of that and I'm an android phone user
i’m looking at the xppen 22 plus, and the artist pro 16 gen 2 which one would you recomend, the 22 has a 1920 by 1080 display, idk if that is gonna be annoying i am doing animation and not sure if the extra space for a cheaper tablet, or the more expensive for colors ig?? i would get the 19 artist pro gen 2 no question, but i can’t afford the extra so idk what to do
I heard using Procreate app significantly drains the iPad's battery life, if so, does it affect an artist's workflow? like suddenly causing downtime (requiring you to set it aside to recharge first) at a time when inspiration n creativity strikes
Nah procreate is super optimised because it’s designed just for ipad. I just came back from an art class and procreate drained like 14% in 3hours on my ipad 10th gen which is great imo.
UPD: Would you please look into Lenovo Legion Y700 2023? And their drawing stylus. Original comment: I recently bought Xiaomi Pad 6 and currently selling it after a couple of hours of using it. I realised it's way too big and heavy for me, my joints and arms hurt holding it and the entire reason of buying a tablet is to be able to draw on the couch as if you're comfortably reading a book. I don't want to lie it flat on the table and sit in a chair. Is there anything on the market for drawing with a 7-8 inch screen BESIDES apple's ipad mini? I love anroid. Is there even a choice for me with that?
Unfortunately no choice. I bought 11.5 tab and its really big and uncomfy a bit but i got used to it ig. Id get 10.5 or mini apple if I was you, but can you get used to ios? No idea. I resigned because of it.
@@grellowny6978IOS is totally not for me. Neither are big tablets. It's so sad. :( Maybe I'll try it again but with Samsung when it gets dirty cheap. I'm not ready to pay so much money for S9 FE. If only they had a smaller tablet we could draw on... I really like their s pen and the Wacom technology that they use. Or maybe I'll worse myself through traditional art even though I don't enjoy it that much. Anyway, apple is way overpriced.
@@grellowny6978not only I wouldn't be able to get used to iOS, their mini tablet has a jelly effect, it's overpriced as hell, and I need the ability to install an apk. Basically, I need an android tablet. I got recommended Lenovo Legion Y700 because it has a decent hardware but a) it's a Chinese version with all its quirks b) it's not made specifically for drawing, even though it has a stylus. I think I wouldn't be so quick to sell Pad 6 if I could use it. But watching videos on such a big screen feels weird (I already have a pc with a better monitor, so point) and I am simply in SO much pain when I try to use it on the couch/in my bed due to its size and weight. I wish I could read on it, but again, it's just not worth it. Plus, I could buy something way cheaper if we're talking reading only. Don't know, maybe I'll wait for some Samsung to get dirty cheap? But even s6 lite is 10.6" which is like??? A 7 or a 7.5 inch tablet screen. Give me. :(

I just found that OnePlus launched its OnePlus Pad that comes with a stylus, really good specs at a very compelling price. Would you be interested in reviewing it? I certainly would be interested in watching you do it.
This is so helpful man. I’ve been watching all your vids and I’m definitely gonna get a used iPad but I’m stuck on whether I go 11” or 13”! Any suggestions?
Im about to get the galaxy tab s6 lite, inspired by your slightly older video on it, Since im already in the Samsung ecosystem and my main drawing app for years has been ibis makes the most since for me personally Also i believe it has room to add a Micro Sd card for more storage :]]
Great video Brad. May I also add the s7fe. It is available on amazon generally refurbished or if you dont mind used on Ebay. But the price is super low right now from what ive seen and its still a pretty powerful tablet right now. It doesnt have the juice others have obviously. But price to performance and the screen size to me may be worth it to kind of just get started.
I’m trying to choose between the Huion Kamvas 16 (2021) and the Kamvas 13 (Gen 3) which would you recommend I don’t really care about the size between the 2, just quality size which one you would recommend?
Well, overall I think I've been seeing people praise the New kamvas 13 quite a bit. Personally, between the two I got the kamvas 13, mainly due to the size though. I wanted something with a big enough screen as to not be annoying to work with, but also with a small enough screen to be easy to carry around and take with me. 13.3" Seemed like the perfect sweet spot.
@ I had previously got the XP pen artist 10 (2nd Gen) and I thought it would be an OK size, but it actually was really small so I was also kind of going back-and-forth on the size as well like because I have a 10 inch and I didn’t know if a 13 inch would be a big enough size up or if it would be like not that different and then I didn’t know if a 16 inch would be too big how has it been using the 13 inch?
@tccova1212 personally, I feel fairly comfortable with it. My hands aren't particularly big either so that's a plus. Also, I do definitely feel like it's the perfect size in terms of the proper balance between giant and tiny. It's slightly bigger than an ipad pro, to put it into perspective
For me, it's an iPad Air 13 or an iPad Pro 11 inch. I have had a Samsung S8 for 2 years now and the Art Apps are just not there I'm afraid. I don't like Krita or Clip Studio and I have a Universal licence for Affinity (not available on Android) and I like the look of Godot on iPad (Xogot) compared to the version sitting on Android.
@@-The-Golden-God- Having used iPads and Samsung Android tablets for years - it makes little difference to me. Android is just not getting the Apps that iPads get.
@@theinktician yeah, the guy who wrote several frameworks, worked at Microsoft and is behind what became Unity has been working on porting Godot to iPad and it looks amazing. Look for Xogot - Miguel de Icaza demoes it at the recent Godot conference. He's now looking for people to test it out. The Android version of Godot is just like Krita and the previous version of Clip Studio - a desktop UI with no thought or consideration of what tablets can offer.
I have recently bought a Xiaomi pad 6 for drawing but I don't have the pencil now so i use a xp pen deco 1 version 02 So my question is should I buy a Xiaomi pencil or just use the graphic tab with it
If you have a laptop get a pen tablet, you would adapt in less than a week plus good posture, when you start making money from your art you can splurge on something better
samsung has been making great drawing tablets since what 2013? the note 10.1 amazing stuff. apple came around with an amazing rival in the apple pencil I own and use both though i slightly prefer the feel of the wacom s pen your in good hand with either.
I bought the large samsung s8 ultra when it came out but found I was still reaching for my basic ipad,since then I bought the ipad pro earlier this year and it may just be I favour the procreate app,but I hardly use s8 ultra,the pen for ipad I find much easier to use and I bought a magnetic drawing screen from amazon that just pulls off easily for regular use.I think ipad is one of the best inventions ever,although I can't imagine life without a mobile phone.
Hi I usually like your videos because of the content and also because how you move and talk. Mandatory Auto-dubbing destroys a lot of what you're going for and it isn't easy at all to get rid of it. (There is no audio setting on Android at leat).
@thebradcolbow thank you for this answer. I just found out that I could change the setting on my ipad pro and it automatically changed the setting on all of my devices. I'm happy again. Thank you for your channel btw.
A pencil, paper and eraser and a good course on drawing and shading, that's the best way to start, very old school, but you learn so much from doing that a year.
Find a Samsung Tab S8+ for a good deal (like $350-400) and you'll be set for a loooong while (like next 5 years with smooth experience throughout). If you go for s6 lite... well... it's not smooth to begin with, and it'll choke in a couple years with the way how software and internet gets bloated.
I always enjoy your videos but I notice you always place the caveat about pen tablets as something to steer away from. I don't think it's that hard to use them since most people can use a mouse pretty accurately without having to look at it. And let's not forget learning how to touch type without having to look at the keyboard. 🤔🤔 Just something I noticed. 😁😁
I already have pass for galaxy s pen, galaxy s6lite, ipad 9. Seriously, the ipad and apple pencil bouth amazing. I recently swap my ipad 9 in a ipad 10, i hate that button, remindsme of iphone buttons broke all the time. If i knew the quality of the ipad and apple pencil in the beginning, i wouldn't have bought the previous tablets.
Hey Brad about the ai generated voice over... it is speaking in Hindi but the choice of words are too old. We don't use those words in our day today lives. Some of them I am not even sure what they mean.
The IPad and Samsung tab are pointless for those who do art on the PC. The learning curve isn't that bad on the screenless tablets, and they don't break as quickly. Mouse users are already half the way there. It's the same in that you need to coordinate your mouse position with the cursor position on the screen. Also, once you learn how to use the non screen tablets, there is no bonus to having a screen tablet. Only down sides due to the added tech. If you don't want to do art on your PC, then the iPad or Samsung tab is fine to use. But you're limiting yourself.
I tried a screenless tablet and hated that not only I have to sit at my desk, but also have to stare at my monitor instead of screen. For me tablets like this are about comfort and seeing what I'm drawing, like with paper but better. I sold a screenless tablet. To each their own.
Agreed. Although I do have an S6 Lite (2024) and love it, I use a pen tablet on my PC. I do draw on my S6 Lite but it's also used for other tablet things when I am out and about. But I have little use for it once I get home with a full-fledged PC and 27-inch monitor.
@@youarebymyside Yes. I use both. When I'm at my desk, which is often, it's easier to draw sitting upright with a big monitor. When I'm away from my computer or want to be away from my computer, I use my S6 Lite.

Hello Bred i like you videos! and i have a new video idea for you) I think you should review the UGEE ut3 or ut2 there are not much videos around the internet about them . Just so you now they are powered by android,and they are not that expensive. They are pretty good deal for beginners, so i think it deserves so more attention then it has now. Hope you see thes comment!)
Buy a PC thats the correct way. Also you don't need to pay for software most of them can be found pirated for Windows on certain sites that I can't name here 😂. Also Windows is a full fledged operating system so it will not cripple your creativity by not doing what you want it to do. If you already have a Samsung or ipad just get the Easy canvas app and then use those tabs as pen display for your PC.
Krita is literally free and open source too, so you don't really need to crack as a beginner! Heck, you can even still use krita for professional work..
@@BenMalas Unironically you can after all Mini PCs and Handheld PCs like Rog Ally exist. And those can literally charge using a smartphone power bank. So yeah PCs are still the best option.
@@Testingflirt You can literally make one under $180 😒 BRUH STOP LYING. ALL YOU NEED IS GOOD ENOUGH CPU WITH INTEGRATED GRAPHICS, ATLEAST 16GBs RAM, AND A 1TB STORAGE, YOU CAN GET A BOTTOM OF THE TIER MOTHERBOARD, CASES AND POWER SUPPLIES ARE CHEAP, CHEAP DISPLAYS CAN BE FOUND ANYWHERE, BUT SINCE YOU MIGHT ALREADY HAVE A TABLET YOU CAN REUSE THAT, NOW JUST BUY A TABLET OR REUSE YOUR SAMSUNG OR APPLE TAB.

idk if its not better to just get a S9 FE. Not that much pricier (SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S6 Lite on amazon ~226$ | Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE 10.9” 128GB WiFi ~300$ (THE PRICE IS FROM THE AMAZON LIMITED TIME SELL!! -33%) So yeah do what you want Enjoy :D
Also the used S series tabs from s6 to s8 are tremendous value coz they have the flagship processor of that year unlike the s6 lite
S8 will stop getting updates 2026. I wouldn't recommend them, since s9 are kinda unexpensive atm.
Ps: if use them ONLY for drawing it is fine tho.
I've been rocking a Galaxy Tab S6 with the SuperAMOLED 10.5" screen for 3+ years. It was a flagship in 2019 with a Snapdragon 855, 256Gb and 8GB RAM.

Personally if I could give any advice is: get as much storage as you can seriously don't get anything in the double digits storage wise if you can get between 256gb and above great but at least get 128 seriously as someone whose used a cheaper iPad model as a daily driver and even to as a tool when I got into art school to work anywhere and on my desktop.

Please future-proof I've been using my iPad for 4 years and in the 1 year I've drawn the most and have used it to make assignments for my classes I now need an upgrade just because of this.
I would go so far as to say look for a terrabyte of storage. Rendering does take up space and so do projects with tons of layers.
100% agree
I still dont understand why iPads still dont support expandable storage
@rajivvishwa I just use an external ssd. Not ideal, but saves some money on larger storage solutions.
@@rajivvishwa that's easy to answer. Make something too good and people won't buy the next iteration. Apple has always made their products with that in mind. They slipped up with the iPad pro when the m chips were being put into them and since they made so much money off of it, they couldn't possibly make it a one and done.

Hi Brad, this was an excellent video and it got a like from me. I have been lazy and haven't kept up with any of my drawing or digital art for many years now. I just got the itch to get back to doing digital art a few days ago, and traded in my old iPad mini (6 gen) to the new M4 iPad Pro 13" specifically to have a full size art canvas to be used with Procreate and of course the larger screen will also be amazing for watching movies and tv on the go. Last night I did my first digital painting in at least 5 years, and as rusty as I am it still turned out great. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video.
Bought the Samsung tab s9 fe+. 256gb 12gb ram. Great deal on black Friday
first I did the same, then found a deal on s8+ and upgraded for same price~. It's a night and day difference, easily 2x performance.
Just bought one used recently. Only 8GB but my golly the screen feels gigantic compare to my S6 Lite.
Forgive me if you mentioned this and somehow I missed it in the video, but one thing to point out - the ninth generation iPad for $199 only comes with 64 gigs of storage. The Samsung I believe comes with 128 gigs and I’m not sure, but many of their tablets also have a microSD card so you can expand the storage even further.
Great information!
I bought a Tab S7+ instead of a dedicated drawing tablet (early 2021), and it replaced my laptop. Draws so good, and is a great computer that I still use every day.
Good call out on the S6 Lite. I bought my Dad the OG S6 Lite and it's definitely laggy 3 1/2 years later. Still great for drawing, still has a good looking screen, but as a computer it struggles. If you can stretch for a flagship instead of a Lite or FE, it definitely retains usability for longer.
I finally caved and bought an ipad Pro 11" (etched screen). While I love the feeling of drawing on it, I absolutely LOATHE the ipad OS. It's clunky, user-unfriendly, counter-intuitive, restrictive and ugly. It's everything that I dislike about Apple products. I simply can't fathom how people use Apple devices on a daily basis. Even something as a simple as installing a font becomes a ridiculously convoluted task. It's an utterly absurd experience. If there was a comparitive Windows device, I'd jump ship in a heartbeat. If Adobe Fresco ever comes to Android, then I'll sell my ipad immediately.

yeah, I had the same experience, got an iPad pro 12" and I just couldn't with the OS. File management was a nightmare and I just kept running into unnecessary restrictions. In the end I came back to the surface pro, which is also definitely not perfect, but it works better for me.
@@ragecandyit's so expensive!
@@MrXlee1967 $1100 is not expensive for a laptop with 16GB of RAM lol. Hasn't been since 2020 - but it IS overpriced for the processor. That said, th power is more than enough for digital art. Unless you're doing 3D. But if you're doing 3D, why arent you using a desktop?
Over here it's quite a different story. The iPad 9th gen is €320 and the Apple Pencil is €90... €410 in total. The Galaxy S6 Lite 2024 is €259 and the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe is €348. Apple is just too expensive here to even consider. Personally due to the lack of RAM and storage on both the iPad and S6 Lite, I would get the S9 Fe with 6Gb or RAM and 128Gb of storage if I had to start on a budget.
I like the S9 Fe, I have the 256Gb version that comes with 8Gb of RAM. I'm now working on an artwork that is 4900x200 pixels, has already 120 layers and tons of small details in it and the S9 Fe is still managing well without hiccups or slow downs. I have a 4Gb tablet as well and it can't handle the artwork anymore, it's stopped when I wasn't even halfway through.
For the 9 Fe with 256Gb of storage and 8Gb of memory, I paid €400. That's still less than that way older iPad. The extra investment for the better screen, better color accuracy, better cpu/gpu and more memory and storage makes all the difference for me and is worth the extra investment.
Anyone watching this and are considering the s6 lite. Stay away from it. Don’t get me wrong it’s a decent tablet but it’s not very future proof. The 4 gbs of ram and 64 gb is realistically 2 gbs of ram and like 50 gbs. If you play games it’s only has 60hz and it’s not the smoothest experience. I ended up returning mine and getting the s10 plus cause it fit my needs better. Definitely go with the s9fe that usually on sale for around $329. Which is worth the extra cost from the s6 lite. If you want the full dex experience go with a renowned tab s8 that you can get on amazon around $340. I guarantee the experience would be much nicer.
Did you have the 2024 edition s6?
@@gabrielmulkey8014yes i did, like it worked fine. But you really see the age. For 2024 I just wouldn’t recommend it. It’s great for kids or teens or light usage. But for around $250 there’s a lot of better options
Yeah the cheap samsung tablets have horrible screen and their better tablets are way higher priced. iPad on the other hand seems a better pick.
Thanks for taking the time to write this
What about the XP Pen Magic Pad. I'm finding it great for sketching and animation work, it's light and really fast. And it's got a massive wide screen.
I may be biased, but the fairly recent XP Pen Magic Tab has been a great product I've used so far. It is on the higher end ( I believe somewhere between $400-$500), but the stylus is very well designed and I feel is the Android equivalent to Apple's iPad and Pencil
From what I remember the pen doesn't support tilt, so I think that maybe it's just better to choose a Samsung Tab that does.
@@Jj82op that problems is fixed a couple months ago with the update , it's only 300 nits so the screen is not that bright is the only problem🥲,
this is exactly what i am going through thank god you have done this video I have been the tablet rabbit hole for about a week too much choice.
Wait s6 lite is worth keeping an eye for? Wouldn't it lag with the 4GB RAM?
i got the 2020 version 3 years ago + other than audio switching off when i went into ibis + screen ghosting, it still works perfectly fine. I'm upgrading to an s9fe now, but my sibbling's gonna take the s6 lite + hopefully it'll last them for another year or 2, we'll see
If youll use it for a year or two its okay but 4gb ram is slowing down
The base iPad only has 4GB of ram too so its practically the same ram wise.
@@festivalpirateI love my s6 lite 2020. I Recently upgraded to a used iPad. But I still love my baby, it’s great for travel.
Yes it does , stay far away. Unlike apple . Android apps are not optimized for low ram amount.
I have my ipad 2021 3gb ram . Procreate works like a charm . No performance slow down.
But on Android, 8 gb should be the absolute minimum you should go to
I was literally debating the iPad 9th gen or the Tab S6 lite 2024, I settled on the S6 lite 2024
Brad! I watched your videos religiously and around the Black Friday discounts I managed to get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE for around 650! Normally where I live they go for around 800, so 650 is the same price you'd pay for the S6 Lite 2024 normally. Really a great steal for the money! So far my experience has been great, can't wait to start using it more for my personal projects! Thank you for all the honest reviews, extremely helpful! :)
I use the s9 fe plus and I love it, I use clip studio art on it and I bought a Dexnor keyboard for it and a wireless true bluetooth mouse and i play minecraft on it and it runs really smooth
for art I don’t really use any of the features of the newer pencils. I’m pretty slow when it comes to drawing anyway, which might be part of it, but i generally just click the buttons and adjust everything on the screen manually.
When note taking, I use the squeeze feature a lot to switch colors/tools (btw: for a great note taking app and a pretty good pdf viewer on the iPad, Noteful is amazing. The free version is alright, but Pro costs $10 one time, it’s great) but it never really comes in handy when drawing - too many options to choose from and modify for it to be useful.
btw if you’re purchasing an m1 air or an older pro, you might be able to snag a deal on the Apple Pencil 2: both used and new ones often go for quite a bit cheaper than msrp as there aren’t any current gen iPads that support it
at 1:47 is that a bluetooth pen tablet ?
It is
@ashutoshkumarsarker4832 I can't tell what kind it is
Hey would you consider looking at Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7 2025? It is only 230$ with the pen on Aliexpress sales and it comes with a 144hz screen and Dimensity 8300 which is comparable to the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 of Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 ultra. I've also heard the pen improved dramatically too but I've been wanting an artist opinion about it. It's arguably the best value tablet right now
Not available in stores in America
Will you review the ugee fun drawing pad? I'm interested in your thoughts on it, comes with a nanomatte surface
Seems like you are missing the Lenovo P12 tablet from your reviews. I believe it has a matte finish and a laminated screen. Can use it with the precision pen.
What would you recommend a digital artist who is just starting out with hand drawing through digital mediums and who is also living below the poverty level to start out with please? Thank you.
buy a pen tablet that could connect with your smartphone. download any art app that you’d want to use. plug in the drawing tablet then you’re good to go. 😊
Compared to the S9 FE, would you say the upgrade from the S6 lite 2024 is worth it? (I'm trying to decide which to get, long time artist here needing a mobile tablet).
Hi. Can you suggest a screen with a paper-like feel for Android (specifically Samsung s9 Fe), or even nibs for the S pen? There are a few versions at a reasonable price for iPads. I prefer a more controlled, paper texture when using my tablet to draw. Thanks for your assistance
If I already have a computer to attach a pad to, would an xp pen be better?
And yeah, I remember my younger sister had one of those non screen drawing platforms awhile ago, and I felt completly disoriented
I would like to suggest if you could mention which variant to spend on. Also, is samsung tab s9 fe with 6gb ram and 128 gb rom paired with exynos 1380 processor good enough for drawing even at a tight budget???
I need to know too 😭😭😭 I do character design and been contemplating between getting the Fe or Fe+ 😞 I need to know if 6gbram is enough 😭
The S9 fe has a newer processor and 5GB RAM, it will easily cope with drawing Apps. I have an S8 and that runs Godot / Clip Studio / Krita etc etc without any problems.
Yes it would work great. It's better than the s6 Lite so you have nothing to worry about it.
Im currently on a wacom intuous (medium) non screen tablet, I'm not sure whether I should either upgrade to a better tablet (EX: Wacom one, cintique pro 16, etc),or a bigger non screen tablet, or just get an iPad. I work on a webcomic, use CSP, and overall just want to upgrade my drawing expereince. The iPad does seem like a good option though Im not sure if drawing on ipad will feel the same as drawing on a regular plain old art tablet. Can you give some advice ?
I personally got a ipad air 4th gen on apple certified redurbished for about 200$ and traded in my ancient ipad mini. I love procreate and the pen but the pen just sropped working and I eeally hate the idea that to feplace something that is a large part of why i got the ipad wpuld be 90$-130$ everytime and i could buy a samsung or Lenovo tablet for two of those. So im looking to switch from apple because of that and I'm an android phone user
i’m looking at the xppen 22 plus, and the artist pro 16 gen 2 which one would you recomend, the 22 has a 1920 by 1080 display, idk if that is gonna be annoying
i am doing animation and not sure if the extra space for a cheaper tablet, or the more expensive for colors ig??
i would get the 19 artist pro gen 2 no question, but i can’t afford the extra so idk what to do
Can you please tell me which is better: iPad Pro M4 or Samsung Galaxy S10+ for a design student to do illustration and 3d modelling?
iPad 10th Gen is 249 on Black Friday deal on Amazon
I heard using Procreate app significantly drains the iPad's battery life, if so, does it affect an artist's workflow? like suddenly causing downtime (requiring you to set it aside to recharge first) at a time when inspiration n creativity strikes
Nah procreate is super optimised because it’s designed just for ipad. I just came back from an art class and procreate drained like 14% in 3hours on my ipad 10th gen which is great imo.
@pancakeno1 how about the Apple Pencil downtime? (needing to recharge) at a time when your creativity momentum is starting, tnx
@ it lasts few days of use. I charge it like once a week. I never drained it yet but I also don’t draw every single day.
I have a battery widget on my main screen so if I see that it’s around 50% i plug it in
Brad, is that possible for you to review the 'sonar pen' currently doing fundraising and pre-order
One thing i hate about ipad os is that the files app cant sort the folders first.
hey brad, what about 2-D animator you completely forgot about them?
UPD: Would you please look into Lenovo Legion Y700 2023? And their drawing stylus.
Original comment:
I recently bought Xiaomi Pad 6 and currently selling it after a couple of hours of using it. I realised it's way too big and heavy for me, my joints and arms hurt holding it and the entire reason of buying a tablet is to be able to draw on the couch as if you're comfortably reading a book. I don't want to lie it flat on the table and sit in a chair. Is there anything on the market for drawing with a 7-8 inch screen BESIDES apple's ipad mini? I love anroid. Is there even a choice for me with that?
Unfortunately no choice. I bought 11.5 tab and its really big and uncomfy a bit but i got used to it ig. Id get 10.5 or mini apple if I was you, but can you get used to ios? No idea. I resigned because of it.
@@grellowny6978IOS is totally not for me. Neither are big tablets. It's so sad. :( Maybe I'll try it again but with Samsung when it gets dirty cheap. I'm not ready to pay so much money for S9 FE. If only they had a smaller tablet we could draw on... I really like their s pen and the Wacom technology that they use. Or maybe I'll worse myself through traditional art even though I don't enjoy it that much.
Anyway, apple is way overpriced.
@@grellowny6978not only I wouldn't be able to get used to iOS, their mini tablet has a jelly effect, it's overpriced as hell, and I need the ability to install an apk. Basically, I need an android tablet. I got recommended Lenovo Legion Y700 because it has a decent hardware but a) it's a Chinese version with all its quirks b) it's not made specifically for drawing, even though it has a stylus.
I think I wouldn't be so quick to sell Pad 6 if I could use it. But watching videos on such a big screen feels weird (I already have a pc with a better monitor, so point) and I am simply in SO much pain when I try to use it on the couch/in my bed due to its size and weight. I wish I could read on it, but again, it's just not worth it. Plus, I could buy something way cheaper if we're talking reading only.
Don't know, maybe I'll wait for some Samsung to get dirty cheap? But even s6 lite is 10.6" which is like??? A 7 or a 7.5 inch tablet screen. Give me. :(

I just found that OnePlus launched its OnePlus Pad that comes with a stylus, really good specs at a very compelling price. Would you be interested in reviewing it? I certainly would be interested in watching you do it.
This is so helpful man. I’ve been watching all your vids and I’m definitely gonna get a used iPad but I’m stuck on whether I go 11” or 13”! Any suggestions?
What do you think about the Xp pen magic drawing pad?
Im about to get the galaxy tab s6 lite, inspired by your slightly older video on it, Since im already in the Samsung ecosystem and my main drawing app for years has been ibis makes the most since for me personally
Also i believe it has room to add a Micro Sd card for more storage :]]
Great video Brad. May I also add the s7fe. It is available on amazon generally refurbished or if you dont mind used on Ebay. But the price is super low right now from what ive seen and its still a pretty powerful tablet right now. It doesnt have the juice others have obviously. But price to performance and the screen size to me may be worth it to kind of just get started.
Thanks Paul, Sorry your last comment got erased, I had to make a change and reupload the video after posting for members :D
@@thebradcolbow All good!
I’m trying to choose between the Huion Kamvas 16 (2021) and the Kamvas 13 (Gen 3) which would you recommend I don’t really care about the size between the 2, just quality size which one you would recommend?
Well, overall I think I've been seeing people praise the New kamvas 13 quite a bit. Personally, between the two I got the kamvas 13, mainly due to the size though. I wanted something with a big enough screen as to not be annoying to work with, but also with a small enough screen to be easy to carry around and take with me. 13.3" Seemed like the perfect sweet spot.
@ I had previously got the XP pen artist 10 (2nd Gen) and I thought it would be an OK size, but it actually was really small so I was also kind of going back-and-forth on the size as well like because I have a 10 inch and I didn’t know if a 13 inch would be a big enough size up or if it would be like not that different and then I didn’t know if a 16 inch would be too big how has it been using the 13 inch?
@tccova1212 personally, I feel fairly comfortable with it. My hands aren't particularly big either so that's a plus. Also, I do definitely feel like it's the perfect size in terms of the proper balance between giant and tiny. It's slightly bigger than an ipad pro, to put it into perspective
@ thanks for your help
Is the Ipad 10th gen a better choice at 280$? Is it worth the extra 80?
Huawei 11.5S is best deal now. 240$ tab with anti-glare screen. Pen works good and need to be purchaised separately.
No google services, impossible to buy in the US and Canada
For me, it's an iPad Air 13 or an iPad Pro 11 inch. I have had a Samsung S8 for 2 years now and the Art Apps are just not there I'm afraid. I don't like Krita or Clip Studio and I have a Universal licence for Affinity (not available on Android) and I like the look of Godot on iPad (Xogot) compared to the version sitting on Android.
I just wish ipad OS wasn't abysmal.
@@-The-Golden-God- Having used iPads and Samsung Android tablets for years - it makes little difference to me. Android is just not getting the Apps that iPads get.
godot the game engine...?
@@theinktician yeah, the guy who wrote several frameworks, worked at Microsoft and is behind what became Unity has been working on porting Godot to iPad and it looks amazing.
Look for Xogot - Miguel de Icaza demoes it at the recent Godot conference. He's now looking for people to test it out.
The Android version of Godot is just like Krita and the previous version of Clip Studio - a desktop UI with no thought or consideration of what tablets can offer.
Yo , different languages are cool.. which tool did you use?
I have recently bought a Xiaomi pad 6 for drawing but I don't have the pencil now so i use a xp pen deco 1 version 02
So my question is should I buy a Xiaomi pencil or just use the graphic tab with it
Drawing purely on the tablet seems more comfortable, so get the pen
Get the pen. i immediately bought the pen with xiaomi pad 6. Works smoothly.

If you have a laptop get a pen tablet, you would adapt in less than a week plus good posture, when you start making money from your art you can splurge on something better
isnt clipstudio paint a one time purchase?
Isn’t the Galaxy Tab 9 FE a better value at only $50 - 60 more? Storage, RAM and laminated screen.
I need help pls I want to get a iPad for art I am thinking the iPad Pro M4 or the new Air I am new to iPad art if that makes sense
if you don't have any sponsor just sponsor yourself 😅
samsung has been making great drawing tablets since what 2013? the note 10.1 amazing stuff. apple came around with an amazing rival in the apple pencil I own and use both though i slightly prefer the feel of the wacom s pen your in good hand with either.
Hi, I’m one of ur biggest fans!!! U need to talk for a Apple Pencil alternatives ❤❤❤
I bought the large samsung s8 ultra when it came out but found I was still reaching for my basic ipad,since then I bought the ipad pro earlier this year and it may just be I favour the procreate app,but I hardly use s8 ultra,the pen for ipad I find much easier to use and I bought a magnetic drawing screen from amazon that just pulls off easily for regular use.I think ipad is one of the best inventions ever,although I can't imagine life without a mobile phone.
Hey brad there is no link for the s9 fe
I’ve always used exact iPad @ start
im a new artist and i am getting a huion kamvas 13 gen 3
Hi I usually like your videos because of the content and also because how you move and talk. Mandatory Auto-dubbing destroys a lot of what you're going for and it isn't easy at all to get rid of it. (There is no audio setting on Android at leat).
I know, I hate it too. TH-cam has pushed it on me and I don't have a setting to turn it off.
@thebradcolbow thank you for this answer. I just found out that I could change the setting on my ipad pro and it automatically changed the setting on all of my devices. I'm happy again. Thank you for your channel btw.
A pencil, paper and eraser and a good course on drawing and shading, that's the best way to start, very old school, but you learn so much from doing that a year.
Honestly I wouldnt even say old school - it's the Proper way to start. And the easiest!
@@theinktician you're right, but in the light of this channel it's kind of old school.
Find a Samsung Tab S8+ for a good deal (like $350-400) and you'll be set for a loooong while (like next 5 years with smooth experience throughout). If you go for s6 lite... well... it's not smooth to begin with, and it'll choke in a couple years with the way how software and internet gets bloated.
As I watch all of your videos I will say that SAMSUNG TAB slite is your favorite.
you can't judge it without Huawei MatePad, and their GoPaint
I always enjoy your videos but I notice you always place the caveat about pen tablets as something to steer away from. I don't think it's that hard to use them since most people can use a mouse pretty accurately without having to look at it. And let's not forget learning how to touch type without having to look at the keyboard. 🤔🤔 Just something I noticed. 😁😁
What about tab S7+ ?
I miss the ending music XD
The ipad link goes to a 7th gen ipad
I have a love and hate relationship with my iPad Pro 11''

I already have pass for galaxy s pen, galaxy s6lite, ipad 9. Seriously, the ipad and apple pencil bouth amazing. I recently swap my ipad 9 in a ipad 10, i hate that button, remindsme of iphone buttons broke all the time.
If i knew the quality of the ipad and apple pencil in the beginning, i wouldn't have bought the previous tablets.

Hey Brad about the ai generated voice over... it is speaking in Hindi but the choice of words are too old. We don't use those words in our day today lives. Some of them I am not even sure what they mean.
The IPad and Samsung tab are pointless for those who do art on the PC. The learning curve isn't that bad on the screenless tablets, and they don't break as quickly. Mouse users are already half the way there. It's the same in that you need to coordinate your mouse position with the cursor position on the screen. Also, once you learn how to use the non screen tablets, there is no bonus to having a screen tablet. Only down sides due to the added tech.
If you don't want to do art on your PC, then the iPad or Samsung tab is fine to use. But you're limiting yourself.
I tried a screenless tablet and hated that not only I have to sit at my desk, but also have to stare at my monitor instead of screen. For me tablets like this are about comfort and seeing what I'm drawing, like with paper but better. I sold a screenless tablet.
To each their own.
Agreed. Although I do have an S6 Lite (2024) and love it, I use a pen tablet on my PC. I do draw on my S6 Lite but it's also used for other tablet things when I am out and about. But I have little use for it once I get home with a full-fledged PC and 27-inch monitor.
used a screenless tablet for a few years before getting a Samsung tab + it has definitely helped me a lot
@@youarebymyside Yes. I use both. When I'm at my desk, which is often, it's easier to draw sitting upright with a big monitor. When I'm away from my computer or want to be away from my computer, I use my S6 Lite.
AI Translated Audio is nice to have for people that don't understand english. Nice feature but where can I disable it?

wtf j'ai du son en français !
Pushing people into the Apple ecosystem, OK then. Not that bold, I guess.
👍
Hello Bred i like you videos! and i have a new video idea for you)
I think you should review the UGEE ut3 or ut2 there are not much videos around the internet about them . Just so you now they are powered by android,and they are not that expensive. They are pretty good deal for beginners, so i think it deserves so more attention then it has now. Hope you see thes comment!)
Buy a PC thats the correct way. Also you don't need to pay for software most of them can be found pirated for Windows on certain sites that I can't name here 😂.
Also Windows is a full fledged operating system so it will not cripple your creativity by not doing what you want it to do.
If you already have a Samsung or ipad just get the Easy canvas app and then use those tabs as pen display for your PC.
Can you take your PC to bed or in a corner table at your favorite coffee shop?
Krita is literally free and open source too, so you don't really need to crack as a beginner! Heck, you can even still use krita for professional work..
@@BenMalas Unironically you can after all Mini PCs and Handheld PCs like Rog Ally exist. And those can literally charge using a smartphone power bank. So yeah PCs are still the best option.
pc are still expensive
@@Testingflirt You can literally make one under $180 😒 BRUH STOP LYING. ALL YOU NEED IS GOOD ENOUGH CPU WITH INTEGRATED GRAPHICS, ATLEAST 16GBs RAM, AND A 1TB STORAGE, YOU CAN GET A BOTTOM OF THE TIER MOTHERBOARD, CASES AND POWER SUPPLIES ARE CHEAP, CHEAP DISPLAYS CAN BE FOUND ANYWHERE, BUT SINCE YOU MIGHT ALREADY HAVE A TABLET YOU CAN REUSE THAT, NOW JUST BUY A TABLET OR REUSE YOUR SAMSUNG OR APPLE TAB. THERE YOU GO PROBLEMS SOLVED.
JUST SAY THAT YOU GUYS ARE LAZY CUZ IF ANYONE GAVE ME THE OPTION TO PERMANENTLY OWN A COPY OF CSP EX I WOULD HAPPILY GET A PC SINCE CSP IS JUST THAT GOOD. BUT I GUESS THE US IS TOO MUCH POPULATED WITH IPAD KIDS 🤣. Btw you can add a GPU WAY DOWN THE LINE WHEN YOU FINALLY HAVE EARNED SOMETHING OR WANT TO PLAY GAMES TOO SO YEAH PCS ARE STILL BETTER

idk if its not better to just get a S9 FE. Not that much pricier (SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S6 Lite on amazon ~226$ | Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE 10.9” 128GB WiFi ~300$ (THE PRICE IS FROM THE AMAZON LIMITED TIME SELL!! -33%) So yeah do what you want
Enjoy :D
