So my the tip of my S pen finally gave out after ~2 years, and I thought I had to buy an entirely new S pen... came across your video for some reason and watched you unbox it, which revealed that the original box comes with those replacement tips. I couldn't be happier right now. THANK YOU!
@@galangbangsa5599 I am actually using this tablet as we speak. I primarily used it as an entertainment device while on travel for videos and reading, so I have not drawn with it much. When I did draw with it, I liked the experience, although I'm not a hardcore artist or anything so keep that in mind. It's sturdy and powerful for my needs so I would recommend it, although would definitely not pay retail price for it. I've since bought a Bluetooth keyboard that I carry with me so I transform this tablet into a little laptop capable of typing documents.
@@NzV123 thank you so much for the insight. I'm thinking on getting a portable and affordable drawing tablet, mostly for light drawings and sketches. Your opinion helps a lot. Thanks for responding!
I agree with the rest of the comments below, you're review is clear and helpful. I currently own an iPad pro, I have to agree that the drawing apps for it are in deed quality. recently I started to look into an android tablet because I'm primarily an android user there's something about an iPad I've yet to love. So thank you for letting us android user feel like there's hope!
I love the way you design the review, all my potencial questions are always answered as I think about them. That stylus looks really interesting. Great video!
i like how you talk about all the aspects of the product you are reviewing. you get zoomed close to give the viewers better understanding which is great. and to finish the video you compare it with other brands and talk about value for money and purpose of use which i really appreciate. i love your reviews . please keep this up. love from Bangladesh.
Buttons on the Samsung S-Pen can be mapped via in-app. If the app supports it, such as Painter, Clover Paint, and Artflow functions such as eraser and eye dropper can be assigned. Some apps will also allow you to assign in-app functions to the volume rocker too.
i had/have a problem with this. Everytime i pushed the Button, the App responded to it with the assigned function, but Android responded with this Quick-Menu too. Sometimes it can get a little unhandy
Thanks. Oh, by the way, if you are getting from Amazon US, you can get it through this link below to help me out. I earn some commission when there is a sale. Helps me make more videos like this. amzn.to/2qAdKXo
4 years of usage, I still use it to this day. Its really good ngl, and I only had to change the nib once (well mainly because I prefered the harder ones)
Hello I bought one recently and the pen doesn't work correctly. It starts working when I hover the stylus. Do you have any idea of how to solve the problem. Thanks
I have started looking for a replacement for my Galaxy Tab 2014 10.1 (also with an s-pen), which I mostly use for drawing. Thanks to your in-depth review I may have found it. By the way, I admire your watercolor painting style and urban sketches. Very inspiring!
Adobe Draw digital artist here 😎 I'm thinking about upgrading from my Tab S 8.4 to the Tab S3... it's been 4 years and my tablet is now charger dependent because of motherboard problems. Thanks for the awesome review from an artist perspective. Definitely thumbs up and subscribing. This is a quality video. 🔥
Your review makes me want to buy the s3 tab, but it's still not available in my country... First time I am watching your review, it's so detailed and in-depth.. I love it.
+Enigma2K99 Thank you so much for your support. It helps me out A LOT as these items are not sponsored but bought for review purposes. I'm going to sell this off after creating a few more comparison reviews. I lose less money because of help from supporters like you.
Thank you for this review! I've been wanting to get into digital art and have been debating purchasing this tablet over an iPad, so this review was certainly helpful in reaching a decision. Keep up the good work!
Same did you get s3 or ipad? I've heard both companies have bad repair customer service. Fixing a tab cost as much as a new tab. And any tabs supposedly only last 2-3 years. I've only ever had kindles so convince me iPad or s3 or surface go for drawing and watching movies, light games.
@@Glamrgrl104 Tabs last longer than 3 years if theyre good! But at that point you probably wouldnt even want it anymore because itd be seriously outdated. I got the s6 last week and I am enjoying it. Havent played many games because its pretty big and im not used to that. Its way more than capable though. As for media, power and speed it is great. I multi task on it a lot and its great for split screening apps or even getting some work done on. As for comparison to kindle... My kindle is pretty old so my opinion might be outdated. But my kindle has always been slow and buggy from day 1. I dont think the OS is very good. Sometimes apps would close out without warning or if I did too many things at once it would freeze and need to be restarted... Again, my kindle is an old version and it did these things out of the box. But the way id put it is the(my) kindle is for reading and anything else is an afterthought (although im sure the newer ones are very capable). Its made to sell you amazon products after all. I personally stick with samsung products & I find them really enjoyable. & lastly, for digital art I am having fun with it. But android apps in the art department are not as good as the ipad. However IbisPaintX seems to do all I want it to.
@@jammy008 thanks for quick reply. My budget is $400 not $600 on a tab. And no headphone jack for s6 puts me off it. I don't have to have the greatest and best but one that is durable and will last. I will look at the s4 but again others saying has burn out screen.
In apps like infinite painter you can even configure the effect of hand touches over the screen, be either 1 touch, dual touch or disable them completely.
I'm not too sure about that, but I do know a lot of companies require a serial number to register the product and you wouldn't want someone else doing that. I'm always seeing serial numbers being blurred out in videos so I'm just conditioned to notice it. Serial number registration might effect warrenty down the track as well
As long as the serial number is within warranty, the company has to service the device. That's even if the device is sold off secondhand, or stolen. Some companies will require a proof of purchase in addition to the serial --- Samsung does, Apple doesn't.
Awesome! I will buy anything I need through your links! Thank you for helping me make an educated decision. Off to search for your reviews on handwriting tools and functionalities. I am delving into graphology and typography and create handwritten poetry with my own art. Thanks again for an informative review!
Yes! I was hoping to see a review by you of this tablet. Thank you for making such excellent (and well edited) videos. Also please review this for handwriting. Cheers!

@Teoh Yi Chie - Did Wacom and Samsung finally fix the weird corner issues that used to be present in the old wacom digitizer tablets like MS-Surface, Samsung Ativ/Galaxy Note? Every other company switched to n-trig and other battery powered pens, but since samsung are investors with Wacom, I just wondered if they ever worked together to finally get it perfect.
10:35 you prefer lcd screen than amoled one. You can’t calibrate the spen to avoid the “pixelated” effect. But on next screen you draw smoothly. I am confused. Who can help me to understand?
I prefer LCD screens as the colours are more "natural" and less glaring to me. Amoled is like neon lights, TVs that run advertising all day long. The pen can draw smooth regardless of the colour quality of the screen.
Quick question: at 9:20 the drawing looks really pixelated, is that just because of the camera or is that how it really looks when drawing on the tablet? Thanks!
+Ian C It's because the original artwork is not high resolution enough when I zoomed in. If you want it sharp, you just need to set a higher resolution for the canvas size.
Teoh, this is a very good review. Thanks. At 09:45 you draw a line with the ruler. It is quite far from the ruler itself. Would the line be drawn closer to the ruler if you pointed the tip of the stylus against the edge of the ruler (instead of perpendicluar to the surface of the tablet) ? (Like it's done in analog drawing.)
Yes Teoh, I see that in the other parts of the video that the cursor is directly beneath the tip. What I asked about is if the pen was tilted a bit (so that the tip would would point towards the ruler, and touch the edge of the ruler) would the line be drawn closer to the ruler ? Like in analogue drawing. I don't hold the pen straight (perpendicular) but I point it against the ruler to draw a line precisely against the ruler.
Robert Even if the tip is tilted, the cursor will still be directly beneath. The cursor is not at the place where the tip is pointing to when it is tilted.
I think that we have a misunderstanding. It's not about parallax. I think that the s-pen does a great job and doesn't suffer from parallax effect. Even the Apple Pencil has space between the ruler and the tip of the Pencil when it's held perpendicular to the screen surface (**edited:** it's the thickness of the barrel of the pen near the tip). Just like the s-pen in this video. I'm just trying to find out if it's possible to draw a line closer to the ruler with the s-pen. In the Apple Store I managed to do that with the Pencil, in the way I described earlier. It might have to do with tilt support. Not sure though.
Hello Teoh, I'm planning on buying this tablet because the S4 is too pricey and I prefer the 4:3 aspect ratio. I want to use it for drawing, but I'm concerned about the battery life and If it would last more than 10 hours only drawing and with moderate screen brightness. Could you make a test using either Artflow or Infinite Painter? I would like to know how much the battery is depleted, let's say drawing some lines for 5 minutes. Thanks. If you don't have time to do it, thanks for the review anyhow ;).
+Frank Reiter This tablet comes with the S Pen stylus. It's the best stylus for this tablet so probably no need to use other styluses. You can use other styluses but you won't get the features of the S Pen like palm rejection and pressure sensitivity.
Thanks Teoh. I quite like the included stylus. I was just curious whether other Wacom compatible styli might also be compatible and might offer some benefit. Asked and answered. Thank you.
there is the Staedtler (yes wood Pencil's Staedtler) Noris digital stylus made with Samsung for Galaxy Tab S3. I think it is really amazing! it will comes on july 3th
I think you need to get the adaptor cable. USB type c to HDMI. But research on Amazon first because not all cables are compatible even if the ports can fit.
I need to make digital handwritten notes for my class, should I buy this or wait for the ipad 2018 model to hit retail and buy an apple pencil. Handwriting quality is my only priority....
after doing alot of research on this tablet i found that the feature you weir hating with the color shift not working was because it comes turned off out of the box.
Question. I would like to know if it can fast charge and display a lightning bolt within a circle within a battery icon in the upper part if so, because a friend told me that if the lightning bolt isn't in a circle, it means simple charge.
It works well with dip pen. That ink is a bit strange. When it is fresh, it's waterproof. But months later, the ink from the bottle is no longer waterproof. You can research online to find out other people's experiences.
really thorough review!! is there anyway to use the usb-c port and activate a cintiq mode on the device maybe by using the Wacom link adapter if you still have it ?
Hello, is it possible when you draw on an app (let's say Adobe sketch) to disable the circle pointer under the S pen ? the one that shows up when the S pen is close to the screen. That would help me a lot, Thank you!
May i ask if you know that samsung tab s4 or s5e are having similar according the painting features?...are they better or do they have the same skills?
I've been using this as my main sketch device for a few years. But recently I had to do a factory reset. Afterwards my App Freezer no longer functions and as a result I have to endure the wretched Air Command. Has anyone found a way to freeze it? I mainly use the S3 for art, I'd like to limit all the other processes going on in the background. Sidebar, perhaps it's just time to upgrade to Samsung's newest S-Pen enabled tablet? If you have used the S3 and have also used the newest model... the S7+, how would you compare them? I really enjoy the light weight of the S3 for marathon sketching, being able to hold it one hand while sitting in a comfy chair.
Air Command can be turned off with the latest Samsung UI update. But I'm not sure if that update is available for Tab S3 though. Between Tab S7 vs S7+, S7 is more portable and battery life is significantly longer so that's the model I recommend.
@@teohyc thanks for the quick response. Over on GSM arena I did a comparison and this is what came up. It says the S3 is upgradeable to One UI. Is that not the version that offers the toggle to switch off Air Command? I wonder if the roll out of UI updates is affected by region? I purchased my S3 in Singapore and am currently in Vietnam. I wonder if I might be able to spoof the server to get an update...
This is a nice review 👍!, can I ask if any type of samsung tablet can also receive a pen? I was planning to buy a samsung tablet and im a bit worry that it might not have a pen
11:10 This is why I don't like OLED. The Whites are just terrible the the color shift is far more apparent specially at larger displays like this. Already too apparent in the S6.
Excellent Review, in order to add value to this maybe you should get a custom silicon protective cover designed by you as an artist then I am sure you will make your money back on these! Have a great day!
Teoh Yi Chie thank you for your response do you know the canvas settings for a Samsung tab s3 I'm trying to get a drawing down but I want it on the largest possible canvas size on the s3
+Rafa Domm Tab S3 is better for general purpose. It does a lot of things very well. If you take a lot of notes, then perhaps Lenovo since the accuracy of capturing handwriting is close to 100%
what do you think about the huwei mediapad M2 10" for drawing? I love your drawing tablet reviews! I'd really love to know what you think about this tablet!
Thank you for answering me! I just bought this Samsung right now =D Thank you for this detailed review! It will come to me in a few days! I'm really excited! I also suggest you the new Staedtler Noris Digital Stylus made for this tablet. Have the Classic Staedtler wood pencils design but have a Wacom technology in collabs with Samsung. I think it will be a great stylus! I think I will buy one soon of these Staedtler stylus! Release date is july 3th. ( I hope you understand my bad english, I'm Italian).
Hi Teoh 😊 The pen, did it wobble for you too? I feel like, I break a lot of nips if drawing, because the nip isn't totally sturdy inside the pen and I have to press very hard to get a much thicker line in the art apps - only seems to work fine in the Samsung notes... Wonder if it's just me? Or maybe there's some settings in the apps or the tablet, I need to adjust? 🤔 You/others with those pen problems? Gonna Google it ofc, didn't find anything last time, so now I'm asking the community on YT. I'd have a hard time not having a tablet due to my needs, but might send it back for testing if it's just me, before guarantee runs out. Was looking forward learning to do digital art, but breaking the nips is getting expensive, so I've given op for now. 🙃 The hard tips just seems to scratch the screen, so prefer the softer ones. I seriously regret not saving extra and get an iPad pro with Apple pencil, though I hate Apples products. Wish they'd make something similar for Android. 😣 Really like all your artists reviews of stuff and such, you really go into detail in tests. 😄
@@teohyc Thanks for response. 😘 Gonna get it checked in a couple weeks when I can do without, it's so annoying. Yeah I've tried the apple pencil at a store.... I think I literally looked like this 😍... Ahrg. Seriously hope Samsung follows along and make something similar. I really do hate Apple a great deal, for a lot of reasons, but I want to evolve my art too, pff. Gonna follow your further reviews, maybe you find something in between someday - if they don't come to their senses.. I mean, Samsung must know how much customers they lose to Apple, right..... 🤔 😅 Again, thanks for such a good channel. Lots of love your way. ❤️😄
thank you for the very informative review. Can I ask if the s3 pen can be used on other samsung tab devices which supports stylus? I have the 2016Tab A with S-pen, but am curious if the s3 pen can be used with it. Coz, I am thinking of just getting the bigger pen. :)
Teoh Yi Chie I've heard the iPad and pencil are great but I really prefer the Android experience. Will you be doing an updated version of this video or doing a new video to talk about the best android tablets for artists and note taking? Your two videos on the subject are excellent and I've watched them both several times.
I tried this on the store today.. The stylus has a bit lag.. And the tip sticks to the screen when writing.. iPad pencil is way better.. Almost no lag..
Hello! Which cheaper tab model can I buy instead of this with the similar functions? I need it for uni the most, to read lectures and use it sometimes instead of notebook for writing on tutorials. Can I buy some cheaper model and then buy a pencil separately? Thank you in advance for the reply.
3 years later in 2020, I've just bought a refurbished Tab s3 at $370 (Singapore dollars) for my mobile drawing needs. Worth it.
What app do u use for drawing? I kinda don't like the ones I've found
@@susanne8103 Medibang, I'm still trying to get used to it though!
@@susanne8103 Ibis Paint is great tho
@@susanne8103 I prefer using Ibis paint (good for drawing lineart) and Autodesk Sketchbook (for simplicity UI)
I'm considering to buy one now for taking notes for lecture, is this tablet worth to buy now? I'm worried most apps will not supported

Hi! Did this apps can treat digitized files? Like phisical a hand draw. Sorry my english😅
Not sure what you mean
If there are third part styli that work with this tablet it would be nice to see a video about them.
+Frank Reiter This tablet comes with the S Pen stylus. It's the best stylus for this tablet so probably no need to use other styluses. You can use other styluses but you won't get the features of the S Pen like palm rejection and pressure sensitivity.
Thanks Teoh. I quite like the included stylus. I was just curious whether other Wacom compatible styli might also be compatible and might offer some benefit. Asked and answered. Thank you.
there is the Staedtler (yes wood Pencil's Staedtler) Noris digital stylus made with Samsung for Galaxy Tab S3. I think it is really amazing! it will comes on july 3th
Thanks!
i was waiting for this review thank you so much for this informations .
Hi... Is it possible to write on SNotes leaving your hand relaxing (touching) the screen like in a paper?
Yes you can
Great video... i want to get one soon. Do you know how the video steams on tablet?
I'm don't know how
Teoh Yi Chie like if you watched a movie or videos on it.
I think you need to get the adaptor cable. USB type c to HDMI. But research on Amazon first because not all cables are compatible even if the ports can fit.
I need to make digital handwritten notes for my class, should I buy this or wait for the ipad 2018 model to hit retail and buy an apple pencil. Handwriting quality is my only priority....
With the new iPad that supports Apple Pencil, I think that's a better buy now
thanks...i need to write properly that is the main thing...
good job Teoh i really wish to have this one!!
do you think you can review the Samsung Galaxy book 12? love your reviews. thanks
+Techie Dreyn If I can find one to review, I will.
One question please, do you feel the pixels or they are acceptable
I mean is it as crisp, sharp and vibrant as the galaxy notes?
thanks dude. a one new app i've found out is quite brilliant
You are awesome, the best s3 review of youtube thanks.
Thanks 😁
after doing alot of research on this tablet i found that the feature you weir hating with the color shift not working was because it comes turned off out of the box.
Question. I would like to know if it can fast charge and display a lightning bolt within a circle within a battery icon in the upper part if so, because a friend told me that if the lightning bolt isn't in a circle, it means simple charge.
I can’t remember if this can fast charge. But if it can, there will be that fast charge icon. You’ve got to read the specification to find out
I can see the pixels they are so pretty.
Some reviews said there was pen lag . This didn’t seem a problem at all . Amoled screen seemed the only problem.
Lag also depends on the app you use
How is it years later?
By the way, what about camera? Is pictures good taken in low light areas?
Why the does the pen skip on the right side of the screen cannot get a continuous line
What an informative video! Thank you so much
You've used Platinum Carbon Black ink on your channel with a dip pen. How did that go and did it perform well with a dip pen?
It works well with dip pen. That ink is a bit strange. When it is fresh, it's waterproof. But months later, the ink from the bottle is no longer waterproof. You can research online to find out other people's experiences.
Thanks for telling me about yours with it. ^_^ Will do some research too.
really thorough review!!
is there anyway to use the usb-c port and activate a cintiq mode on the device maybe by using the Wacom link adapter if you still have it ?
+AC AC I don't think so. This is not supposed to work like a monitor.
Teoh Yi Chie yeah you're right .. just wishing they thought to do it lol.
Hello, is it possible when you draw on an app (let's say Adobe sketch) to disable the circle pointer under the S pen ? the one that shows up when the S pen is close to the screen. That would help me a lot, Thank you!
That circle is irritating but I don't think it can be disable as far as I know.
Hi great video!! May i ask how did you turn on the pen pressure sensitivity in medibang on this tablet? I can't figure out how to do so
If it is not on by default, you should be able to change that in the Medibang settings.
Teoh Yi Chie under where can i find the settings to change that?
Thank you for this good review. I had a view issues with deciding on which tablet to buy and I bought a Tab S3 after seeing your video!
@Teoh Yi Chie Great review! I'd like to ask if applying a screen protector on the tablet affect the performance of the stylus?
+Led Pencil Screen protector don't affect stylus performance
May i ask if you know that samsung tab s4 or s5e are having similar according the painting features?...are they better or do they have the same skills?
nice review...are u reviewing Samsung galaxy book 12 and 10 ?!
+Ahmed champion I'll see if I can get a review unit somehow
Your channel is the best!
Thanks for your kind comments ｡◕‿◕｡
Very good review! Thank you for your help!
I've been using this as my main sketch device for a few years. But recently I had to do a factory reset. Afterwards my App Freezer no longer functions and as a result I have to endure the wretched Air Command. Has anyone found a way to freeze it? I mainly use the S3 for art, I'd like to limit all the other processes going on in the background. Sidebar, perhaps it's just time to upgrade to Samsung's newest S-Pen enabled tablet? If you have used the S3 and have also used the newest model... the S7+, how would you compare them? I really enjoy the light weight of the S3 for marathon sketching, being able to hold it one hand while sitting in a comfy chair.
Air Command can be turned off with the latest Samsung UI update. But I'm not sure if that update is available for Tab S3 though.
Between Tab S7 vs S7+, S7 is more portable and battery life is significantly longer so that's the model I recommend.
@@teohyc thanks for the quick response. Over on GSM arena I did a comparison and this is what came up. It says the S3 is upgradeable to One UI. Is that not the version that offers the toggle to switch off Air Command? I wonder if the roll out of UI updates is affected by region? I purchased my S3 in Singapore and am currently in Vietnam. I wonder if I might be able to spoof the server to get an update...
@@jchart01 If I remember correctly, it's Samsung UI 2.5 that allows you to turn off Air Command. It's current Samsung UI 3.0
Very nice presentation and informative. thx
This is a nice review 👍!, can I ask if any type of samsung tablet can also receive a pen? I was planning to buy a samsung tablet and im a bit worry that it might not have a pen
Only models that come with S Pen can support the S Pen. If there is no mention of S Pen, there is almost always no support.
11:10 This is why I don't like OLED. The Whites are just terrible the the color shift is far more apparent specially at larger displays like this. Already too apparent in the S6.
Excellent Review, in order to add value to this maybe you should get a custom silicon protective cover designed by you as an artist then I am sure you will make your money back on these! Have a great day!
Hello have you used the sketchbook app on it
Sketchbook works fine. Worth trying. That app is now free.
Teoh Yi Chie thank you for your response do you know the canvas settings for a Samsung tab s3 I'm trying to get a drawing down but I want it on the largest possible canvas size on the s3
Is there a way to modify de sensitivity on the spen ? it seems like mine is not working quite well.
+kevin gonzalez There is no way to change the sensitivity as far as I know of.
For drawing while travelling, would you choose Samsung Tab S3 or Lenovo Yoga Book? (or something else if you have any recommendations..) thanks :D
+Kien Tuong I think it's more intuitive to draw on the screen and the Tab S3's S Pen is very accurate.
Thanks! I'm waiting for it to release :D
I have a wacom tablet :D but since i got to travel sometimes, i should get a tablet that i can draw directly on it.
does it work on other devices
is there an option to integrate the drawings made on each app onto one?
You have to import the files into the app you want to use.
what should i buy? Lenovo yoga book Android version or samsung tab s3? Your opinion will be very important, please help me with your opinion.
+Rafa Domm Tab S3 is better for general purpose. It does a lot of things very well. If you take a lot of notes, then perhaps Lenovo since the accuracy of capturing handwriting is close to 100%
Thanks for your answer!!! :)
Does it work different in the 8.0 inches version ? I ve got the T310 model.
What do you mean by work different? S Pen will only work with tablets that come with S Pen.
@@teohyc Thanks for your answer. I meant that if I buy an S Pen for my tablet will it work?
where can I check the S pen battery?
I have another question: if you do some art on the S3 and send it to print or use on a Web page, will the colors stay as vibrant?
+Joseph Doyen It should stay vibrant. If I am not wrong, the colour profile will be sRGB and printers can actually print that.
what do you think about the huwei mediapad M2 10" for drawing? I love your drawing tablet reviews! I'd really love to know what you think about this tablet!
+DIY Fairy I have not used that before so I can't say much.
Thank you for answering me! I just bought this Samsung right now =D Thank you for this detailed review! It will come to me in a few days! I'm really excited!
I also suggest you the new Staedtler Noris Digital Stylus made for this tablet. Have the Classic Staedtler wood pencils design but have a Wacom technology in collabs with Samsung. I think it will be a great stylus! I think I will buy one soon of these Staedtler stylus! Release date is july 3th.
( I hope you understand my bad english, I'm Italian).
still good for drawing?
Yes
Can I make high level drawings in this tab? Or is it just for simple drawings like you made on the video?
@@excitingmarmot2820 You can definitely make high level drawin
Is the extreme smoothness of the screen not a problem for someone who is used to drawing on paper or a wacom tablet which has a slight grain?
+HappyMrGhost You can use the tip with more friction. It's smooth on screen but not slippery. So it's not going to be a major issue.
Thank you very much for the reply and the review. really considering getting one now.
you can get screen foils for that.
Hi Teoh 😊
The pen, did it wobble for you too?
I feel like, I break a lot of nips if drawing, because the nip isn't totally sturdy inside the pen and I have to press very hard to get a much thicker line in the art apps - only seems to work fine in the Samsung notes... Wonder if it's just me? Or maybe there's some settings in the apps or the tablet, I need to adjust? 🤔
You/others with those pen problems?
Gonna Google it ofc, didn't find anything last time, so now I'm asking the community on YT.
I'd have a hard time not having a tablet due to my needs, but might send it back for testing if it's just me, before guarantee runs out.
Was looking forward learning to do digital art, but breaking the nips is getting expensive, so I've given op for now. 🙃
The hard tips just seems to scratch the screen, so prefer the softer ones.
I seriously regret not saving extra and get an iPad pro with Apple pencil, though I hate Apples products. Wish they'd make something similar for Android. 😣
Really like all your artists reviews of stuff and such, you really go into detail in tests. 😄
Doesn't wobble that much. But can't compare to the Apple Pencil tip which doesn't move at all.
@@teohyc Thanks for response. 😘
Gonna get it checked in a couple weeks when I can do without, it's so annoying.
Yeah I've tried the apple pencil at a store.... I think I literally looked like this 😍... Ahrg.
Seriously hope Samsung follows along and make something similar.
I really do hate Apple a great deal, for a lot of reasons, but I want to evolve my art too, pff.
Gonna follow your further reviews, maybe you find something in between someday - if they don't come to their senses.. I mean, Samsung must know how much customers they lose to Apple, right..... 🤔 😅
Again, thanks for such a good channel. Lots of love your way. ❤️😄
thank you for the very informative review. Can I ask if the s3 pen can be used on other samsung tab devices which supports stylus? I have the 2016Tab A with S-pen, but am curious if the s3 pen can be used with it. Coz, I am thinking of just getting the bigger pen. :)
+Techie Dreyn I'm not sure about backwards compatibility. I don't have the Tab A to try. Maybe check out reviews on Amazon or some forums.
Woah It is currently 300$ on amazon.it, surely need to buy it! :O
@Benty Animates Watch the video again cause I didn't buy it yet
I have samsung galaxy tab 3 lite so can i use a pen on it? Pls
Would you recommend this tablet for someone who wants tp draw and take notes or do you have a new recomendation?
It's good for beginners exploring digital drawing. Do compare with the new iPad 2018 with Apple Pencil because the price is quite similar now.
Teoh Yi Chie I've heard the iPad and pencil are great but I really prefer the Android experience.
Will you be doing an updated version of this video or doing a new video to talk about the best android tablets for artists and note taking? Your two videos on the subject are excellent and I've watched them both several times.
I have drawing software on a disk, is there any way I can use that software on this tablet?
what tablet would you recommend for a beginner?
I tried this on the store today.. The stylus has a bit lag.. And the tip sticks to the screen when writing.. iPad pencil is way better.. Almost no lag..
It must just be your one as the ones I have seen have no lag.
if it sticks, use a different nib
That didnt happen to me when i tested it
probs because kids and other people were using it
I have it and its smooth AF and when I tried the Ipad with the apple pencil. It felt like a pencil without the lead ㅇㅅㅇ
Nice video .. watching it on my tab s9 +
Have you used Procreate? If so how does it compare to the art apps available on Android?
+Joseph Doyen Procreate is very good. It has lots of features and relatively easy to use too.
Hello!
Which cheaper tab model can I buy instead of this with the similar functions? I need it for uni the most, to read lectures and use it sometimes instead of notebook for writing on tutorials. Can I buy some cheaper model and then buy a pencil separately?
Thank you in advance for the reply.
Perhaps you can check out Samsung Tab A, the model that comes with the S Pen.
thanks for your review. Which do you recommend S3 or surface pro 4 or the upcoming new surface pro？
If you want a main computer, get the new Surface Pro.
Could you demonstrate erasing? When I draw on paper, I do pleny of erasing.
