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.
Thanks for the update on the cursor offset!
@@teohontech7141Any chance you could make a video update or shorts on TH-cam reviewing if this update really fixed this issue for good, Teoh? I haven't seen anyone showing the new calibration feature yet. 😢
Can you recommend a case with keyboard for this tablet? Thank You in advance!
@@hkimontero There are no case with keyboard as this looks like a customised design, even though it's quite generic.
@@hkimontero looking at the Q&A portion of the product on their website, someone has asked about a fitting keyboard and the staff had replied to that they are planning to release a keyboard for this tablet at some point.
Hands down best review on TH-cam. I really like the outdoor location and real use review. This review has actually turned my opinion on this tablet. Personally this drawing experience looks better than the Samsung drawing experience. No tilt is an issue... But for me personally it might not be so bad. I'm seriously thinking of getting one.
I want to like this but the unpowered chip is keeping me away.
i got one anyway. underpowered chip or not. I got this so i can digitally sketch and draw in Infinite Painter (which i love). I previously had the s6 lite, but dropped it from under 20cm onto concrete and it cracked the screen beyond repair. looking forward to having a decent digital sketch book again.
I'd just like to say.. I've received my magic pad and unboxing it was bloody wonderful. The included case is excellent and even has little feet, so it doesn't fit flat on desk. Actually drawing on is silky smooth and far better than Samsung. Very impressed so far. 🎉 Congrats to xp pen on a fabulous digital drawing tablet tailored for artists. Because I draw fast... I haven't noticed the parallax issue.
One area for improvement is the pen... Which is too light for my liking. But you get used to it
@@thefloorhasgone Good thing is you can search for other pens for wide range of xppen models
But it seems there are too much of them and hard to know wich one is supported by this particular display
It's so new, so HOPEFULLY they will improve these issues via firmware updates.
there's an update!
Great, I was wanting for your review
The in-depth review I have been waiting for!!
I just knew about this yesterday and I was shookt it has only been a week since it was released so I was waiting for u to do a review bcos ure the only one I rely on lol
I've bought one, and I find the drawing experience a little better than this review makes it look - simply because he's being so thorough here and getting close-up. Cursor misalignment is noticeable but I've got used to it, up to a point. I understand they're working on an update to correct this. Also The pen it comes with feels a bit light and cheap; I think I'll be getting one of their other, more Wacom-like pens in due course. Finally this video shows quite a bit of lag. Maybe it's the program he's using but I think the video brings it out a bit more than in real life. I mostly use Sketchbook Pro and haven't noticed it at all.
is the misalignment fixed now?
@@JoreolsNo - hopefully soon.
The alignment is fixed. There was an update over a month ago. It's in advanced features in the settings. You can change it to your liking
What a great and thorough review. Thank you.
thank ghad you made a video, ur one of my faves for indepth reviews
I'm definitely considering it. The cursor issues don't affect me too much as I do 3D sculpting rather than drawing.
I love your reviews! I am very interested in this tablet but have not yet seen a review that covers the latest update which apparently has included the fix for the cursor/pen offset. Would love to see you do an updated video demo-ing this update so we can see if it really got fixed! I have yet to find a video of this.
I no longer have this review unit. From Reddit, I've read that the problem is fixed. www.reddit.com/r/XPpen/comments/1bsch46/cursor_misalignment_on_magic_drawing_pad_fixed/
It's good that they added that option!
Thank you, Teoh! 😄
Thanks for an excellent review. I bought one when they first came out. The only nit, to me, is the lack of system memory.
Tell me more please
Nice & Thanks :)
Would be interesting to see you use the x3 pro pen that comes with the artist pro 16 on that tablet, and also if there is a way to use the shortcuts by plugin it direcly by cable, if they worked it can be a nice second tablet to the artist pro.
Excellent
I actually liked the tablet, but where I live we don’t have an actual dealer for XP Pen, especially when if it needed repairs incase of damage. Another thing is the calibration of the pen is not perfect as you mentioned. Now the price is very reasonable for what its offering but this is something I need to think more about
I always look at various TH-camrs but trust your reviews as you're an actual artist that doesn't shill
I love the form factor but the issues with the cursor, tilt and the 512Gb limit for external storage makes me want to wait for the next iteration
There's no limit to microSD card storage. It can work with 1TB and above. Not sure why companies still put limits.
@@teohontech7141 Strange that they put that on the website then but no limit is at least good.
@@teohontech7141 THANKS FOR THE DETAILED REVIEW ...IM SUBSCRIBED TO UR CHANNEL....
DO U HAVE A REVIEW OF Staedtler Noris Digital Jumbo 180J 22?
THANKS AGAIN ...GOOD WORK AND SERVICE
@teohontech7141 XP Pen Tech Support put the limit, I'll have to test to see it it really goes that high or not.😁
Great review. How does the drawing experience change with the different tips (felt Vs plastic)? Also have you tried XP-Pen's other pens on it. I have the artist 12 pen and hoping to use that when my tablet arrives.
thank you so much for this review! I'm glad I hold my pen straight like a wierdo (I'm left handed also) because that seems to be the best way : )
Xppen has added the setting to correct for cursor offset
This is a fantastic, in-depth review, thank you so much! Now is there any chance of a direct comparison with the Galaxy Tab S9 FE?
3:2 vs 16:10 aspect ratio
Matte vs glossy display
Almost stock Android vs Samsung UI
XPPen pen has cursor misalignment, no tilt
XPPen pen has better pressure sensitivity
Cursor offset is not allowed.
Was just going to say that I’ll be buying this and will use your affiliate link (if I can since I’m not in sg) since I’ve enjoyed your reviews and videos over the years.
Just a question if you have the time: do you reckon it’s possible to put a more matte screen protector on this device? Not sure what sizes are available and if it’ll affect the pen alignment (which is challenging anyway).
Thanks for all that you do 🙏🏼😊
For some reason, the tablet is way more expensive on Shopee SG, Lazada SG and XPPen Singapore store compared to XPPen global store.
@@teohontech7141 Let me tell you, I enjoy your videos because you really put the effort and "waste" money on tech. Im from Argentina.
Xp-pen in Argentina is more expensive too. This is due to the cost of shipping from the central to the ""sucursal" (branch). But in Argentina there is also a "fee" for being able to import there. So most technology cost double the real price and is because of that, worth the time to check ... for example, AliExpress where the delivery will not cost as much and so the final price would be more cheap.
i'm looking forward to get this tablet in the near future, but the cursor misalignment and the lack of system memory is the only things that i've criticized for a bit, i'll wait for a V2 of the tablet w/ the issues fixed
Xppen has released firmware to fix/customise cursor misalignment
www.reddit.com/r/XPpen/comments/1bsch46/cursor_misalignment_on_magic_drawing_pad_fixed/
If it wasn't for the pen tip/cursor offset, this would be an instant buy for me. I've been looking for an android tablet with a wider aspect ratio. 16:9/16:10 tablets feel awkward to hold vertically.
Which one do you recommend to draw between this, the Oneplus pad and the Galaxy Tab S9 Fe? (the cursor misalignment have been fixed on this)
I really appreciate this review. I was wondering how this tablet would work for "real" art. I think I'll stick with my Samsung tablet. The S-pen support is much better than this. I was afraid this and the recent Huion would be too much like generic Android tablets and it seems to be the case. Yes, the XP-Pen name is on it but I really don't need another tablet. I'm still hoping the Kindle Scribe updates enough to be useful as a digital sketchbook without all the Android bells and whistles.
And you can use any emr pen with your Samsung tablet.
Cool. Nice review! Never heard of this until now. Not a big fan of tilt parallax. Can you turn off tilt function? I do love the fact that it takes a microsd card for more affordable storage. I have lots of software. Almost all my mobile devices have microsd except for my Apple iPad Pro. Might have to give this a try after watching your review. Now hoping Zbrush comes out on Android and not just Apple. 😊
There's no tilt sensitivity so it cannot be turned on or off.
The cursor misalignment due to tilt is hardware related.
Hi,
I have 2 questions, which you have already answered one 😊 (PC mode).
This pad is basically TCL NXTPAPER 12 pro.
I am wondering if it has NXTVISION, which makes it like an ePaper and therefore it can be used as an eReader.
I would love to see a comparison of samsung tab s8 ultra vs XP Pen Magic drawing pad
Thanks for the great review video!
I also watched yours about the Samsung Galaxy S9 FE+ and still can't make up my mind, which to choose.
So far I've been using a Wacom One 12 with paper foil for drawing, but I'm tired of the cable clutter and want to try a tablet.
I use Clip Studio Paint for drawing, so I should be able to adjust the cursor properly, but I don't know if the tilt problem will bother me. The fact that the tablet sometimes reacts to the palm of the hand is also rather unfavorable for me.
Can you tell me which surface has a better drawing (paper) feel?
Hey, I was also stuck between the 2 and was wondering if you managed to make a decision on which.
@@Dezmod101 I bought the xpen magic tablet. It's working great and I find the pen better than Samsung's variant.
@@ragnellacamar Thank you for letting me know. This was really helpful
Luckily i use clip studio paint. I can just adjust the cursor. But im still hoping they fix that misalignment
Hello please I have a question can this tablet handle clip studio at full performance? Like drawing on a 32000 * 25600 px with 3d molds and stuff without closing?
Thanks for the review, between the This XPPen and the Galaxy Tab S9 FE/FE+ which would you suggest?
Maybe the Samsung, but it really depends on the features you're looking for.
The XPPen actually has more features
- Matte display
- More RAM and storage
- Four way speakers
- Visual quality of display is better
Samsung has 90Hz display, S Pen has tilt support and no cursor misalignment.
@@teohontech7141 Thanks for the reply, yes the pen misalignment is my only real concern so not quite sure, if they bring out a driver fix then it makes sense but as it stands the Samsung makes more sense so not sure. Maybe I'll wait a bit and see if they fix that cursor, want it for drawing purposes so that's important
Curious if the tablet let's you use other XP Pens that can rectify that angle sensitivity.
I saw in a different review that it does let you use other XP Pens...but no mention of if it enables tilt.
Just curious: Is the lack of tilt support+misalignment due to the pen or in the tablet? If you use this pen on other xp-pen pen displays, does the misalignment disappear?
Not exactly sure. The tablet is compatible with other XPPen X3 pens but I don't have those to test on this tablet.
Is just in this portable model. The desk tablets and monitors works really good with tilt support and if there is a misaligned is easy to fix it
Always wondering what's the biggest size format you can work with on this tablets without losing smooth performance... I hope one day you can make a video about this.
You can lose the smooth performance with a huge textured brush. As for format size, nowadays tablets can easily handle A3 300DPI without issues.
Great review as alwqys, but I do have a question: based on drawing experience, is this tablet the better one, or the Artist Pro 16 gen2? I am unsure which one tu buy, because the Magic Pad is ofc a real tablet aswell. But at the same time, if the performance of the Artist Pro gen2 is better, than maybe getting that one is a better decision. What eould you reccomend more?
Artist Pro Gen 2 has better drawing performance since it has no cursor misalignment and there is tilt sensitivity. If you are doing serious art work, go for that.
@@teohontech7141 ok, thanks for the quick and informative answer
Hi 😊 I saw that you use infinite painter in the video.
I also have an Xp-pen Magic Drawing Pad and I wanted to ask you if you can make timelapses with higher quality than 720p with infinite painter.
On my tablet the resolution is stuck at 720p 😮💨 and it doesn't give me a choice when I create a new file even though I know on other tablets you can choose up to 4k 😣
I wanted to know if this is just my problem or if you've seen this too!
So far I draw more on the magic tab than my artist 12 gen2. And the best part? *CURSOR OFFSET* is finally in the system setting.
So XPPen has updated the firmware to include cursor offset?
Hey, what do you think is more convenient between a small pen like an S Pen and a larger pen like a pen display?
The S Pen from the Tab S7, 8, 9 would be the smallest I would go for. They are still thick enough to hold comfortably. If the pen is bigger like the pen displays' pen, that's alright too.
Hi! quite late but would you recommend this or Xiaomi Mi Pad 6 for a beginner? Mostly be using note taking tbh but I'm actually looking to learn drawing in it.
Probably the Xiaomi since it's cheaper by USD 100
Can you re-bind the button on the pen to do something else? And does krita work on it?
Side button shortcut will vary depending on the drawing app you use. Not all apps allow you to re-bind that pen side button.
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.
You can with the appropriate app, but there will be noticeable latency while drawing
I'm looking at buying the Huion Kamvas Slate 10 as a portable drawing tablet. I already own and have used a GAOMON PD156PRO for 2 years now. I am not a beginner artist, but I'm not a professional either, moreso leaning toward the early skill of intermediate. I recognize the Slate 10 has the USI 2.0 Pen and wobble which may pose a problem as I drawing without smoothing. Both this and the Slate 10 seem to be underpowered, but I don't think it's a super big issue. I don't have the cash to spend 500 on the magic drawing pad. I think the Slate 10 would be perfect for my needs despite it's shortcomings, any other options at around the 250 price point that has pen support, laminated screen, matte screen protector options and portable? I may very well bite the bullet and get a Kamvas Slate 10 soon.
Samsung S6 Lite 2022
Would you recommend it over a tab s9 fe or a Xiaomi pad 6 ?
Difficult question. In terms of specs, the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad is on par or better than the other two. Ultimately it comes down to which app you use. CSP and Ibis Paint X has adjustment for cursor misalignment. And whether you use tilt brushes. If you don't mind the cursor misalignment, to me it's not a big deal but to others it may be. Samsung S Pen will still have the best drawing performance.
Hello. Your videos are very great! Your tablet 's tests are probably the best about drawing fonctions! Thank you very much for that. Do you think this Magic Drawing Pad is better than Galaxy Tab S7 + or S8 + /FE? I can't make up my mind...Best regards from France.
Samsung is better since there is tilt sensitivity. That may or may not matter depending on whether you use tilt brushes.
S8 series is better since it is newer
@@teohontech7141 Thank you very much for your reply! Regards.
@@teohontech7141 In france, with Special Mother's day, Magic Drawing Pad price is 458,36 Euros! (sold price 474,99 Euros and normal price 499,99 Euros) = So i've ordered! Many thanks again for you vidéo and your reply!
I really wanted to like this, unfortunately that unpowered chip is going to effect longevity and running Nomad sculpt (my use case).
can they fix the cursor and tilt issues via software updates. might consider this or if not, will wait for a v2
Not sure about that
Thanks for doing review! Do you know if this has
1. PWM flicker?
(Flickering screen to save on battery)
2. Temporal dithering? (Flickering pixels to simulate a fake wider color space on software level instead for true 10 bit panel)
My eyes are ultra sensitive to in particular temporal dithering.
Most tablets today are impossible for me. (All Samsung Galaxy tabs and apple Released in last 5-7 years or so ) so I’m exploring off brands ones but also want to draw. Coincidentally Facebook showed an ad for this one and I got intrigued.
No tilt is a pity though. Off cursor I guess I could hope for the update to work.
New to android ecosystem: will this support all apps given from google play Store? Or is it limited? What about those android users talk about - apps downloaded from web?
Not sure about PWM because my eyes cannot see that. But LCD displays usually do not have visible PWM
All apps can be installed from Google Play Store
is the matte texture an actual screen or you can just pill it of?
It's matte glass. Not a screen protector
Question: Is Clip Studio Paint subscription only on the Magic Pad like iPad, or can I actually buy it and keep it forever like on my laptop? I am asking cuz I am reeeeally interested in getting this and wanna replace the iPad since CSP gets weird on it sometimes.
Tablet version of Clip Studio Paint is only subscription. You can also try Krita, Infinite Painter.
Aaaah I see... OK then. Thanks a bunch!@@teohontech7141
Which one is better picassotab x14 or this Xp pen magic drawing pad
Xppen
How well is it with clip paint studio? That’s the only program I like using
Works great with Clip Studio Paint because CSP allows you to adjust/correct the cursor offset.
Does it have an auto curve and straight lines correction / assist like ProCreate ?
Yes, but it will depend on the app you use
I got the Kamvas Pro 19 4k and every drawing app on Win11 the cursor stays on while drawing. This blocks my view of the stroke. For this reason I plan on returning it. Do the XP Pen tablets do this? Especially in Concepts there’s a tiny crosshair cursor.
Whether the crosshair cursor can be turned off depends on the app you use. It's not because of the pen display or Huion software.
E.g. That crosshair is still there with your normal computer monitor
lol
Bruh
do you have to use face unlock? and can you connect a keyboard to it?
You can use pin unlock too
Thank you for your video. So it's seem that impossible to plug any headphones? Even any bluetooth headphones? True ?
Bluetooth earphones will work

@@a2fotografia Thank you 👍🙏
Would you recommend buying a xpen magic drawing pad, Samsung tab s9 fe+ or a xpen pen display? I had a huion pro 16, but it broke recently, so i'm trying to find an alternative. I dont have the budget to buy an ipad so...
Choose based on the software you want to use. If you don't have to use desktop apps for drawing, getting the portable tablets will be more convenient that's for sure.
So it will be between 12.2-inch xppen and vs 11 Samsung Tab S9 FE. It's a difficult choice. I personally may prefer Samsung because I do use tilt brushes and S Pen has tilt while xppen's pen does not have tilt. But I like xppen display 3:2 aspect ratio much more, and the matte display is kinda nice.
This xppen tablet is quite good with the only downside being the lack of tilt sensitivity for the brush that's all.
@@teohontech7141 yes, I think I will go with Samsung S9 fe+, xp pen also doesn't have a support here (Brazil), so if anything happens I can't even have it fixed, and tilt does matter for me.
I mostly use clip Studio paint, and most reviews seem to agree it works just fine on tab s9 fe . Thanks for the quick response!! It helped a lot 🤗
Hi, would you recommend this or the Samsung Galaxy tab s8 (or optionally s9)? In my country, due to taxing and export, the xp-pen magic pad will end up about 200 euros more expensive than I can get either Samsung for. However, the xp-pen seems optimalised for artists, both given it's size and just the general focus on the artistic aspect. However, I also see a lot of people really enjoying both Samsungs. I've never seen a direct comparison between the products so I'm very unsure. Especially since I already own a Huion Kamvas 22 that I'm very happy with - but I'll be traveling for a year and need a portable option that'll also be nice watching stuff on...
S8 and S9 are both good depending on your budget. Drawing experience will be slightly better simply because S Pen has tilt sensitivity.
Doesn't make sense to get xppen in your country when it's gonna be more expensive.
@@teohontech7141 Ok, thank you so much!
Can you use the mini keydial for this? Especially the scroll wheel for brush size
No because there's no driver, so you can't customise the shortcuts, and some apps don't support keyboard shortcuts.
@@teohontech7141 how about a regular keyboard? can i use it on clipstudio?
Thanks for mentioning that you can uninstall the pre-installed apps! I've been trying to find an answer to that. Are there any apps on the device that can't be uninstalled like Google apps or others?
I did not try all. Anyway, there aren't many apps included and storage capacity is not an issue
@@teohontech7141 okay, storage capacity isn't the problem I'm trying to solve but thanks for the reply
I feel like there are better options. Why not just get a Tab S9 FE? Or could even get previous years model used. I got a Tab S8+ w/ keyboard dock for less than this cost.
Because the pressure sensitivity of the S Pen is still not at the same level of pen displays and pen tablets.
Hi there
Can i install/run adobe illustration on this?
No, no desktop apps. You can do a search on Google Play Store website to see if the apps you need are available.
Hey everyone! I'm thinking about buying the XP Magic pad tablet and would like to know if it's compatible with other EMR pens such as the Lamy pen, the Kindle scribe pen and Samsung pens? Thanks for sharing your experience and tips.
No, does not work with EMR pens.
Thank you so much for clarifying@@teohontech7141
Many thanks@@teohontech7141 Would you say that the Samsung S9 FE+ with the matte screen protector is a good alternative to the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad? I'm looking for a standalone colour drawing tablet with a paper-like feel and great drawing experience. Kindle Scribe is quite good for sketching but has a basic eraser and layers. Thanks for sharing your insights.
@@francoisreynier1780 If you use a matte screen protector, you will have to switch the soft nib to hard plastic nib. Then the drawing experience should be similar. But note the limitation of the XPPen pen mentioned in the video, cursor misalignment when held at an angle, and no tilt sensitivity.
I wanted a tablet but in Brazil it's expensive😢
Hello, I would like to ask you if you know another portable tablet on the market that does not have the problems of Tilt and misslinement, I would like something more professional to draw, i have experience using tablets, but I am looking for a portable tablet that does not necessarily have to be connected to a PC, incredible review , it left me wanting to buy the tablet, however, I prefer to save for the moment to see if another product or another version of this one comes out xd
Samsung Galaxy Tab S series tablets
@@teohontech7141 Which one? and how good are the pen and presion levels? Thanks for the quick response
@@shadboi8927 Tab S7, S7+, S8, S8+, S8 Ultra, S9, S9+, S9 Ultra, S9FE, S9FE+
can we use another pen for this tab
this pen is too thick for me 😢
But this is already their thinner pen. The other XPPen X3 pens are the ones with thicker grips
I am indeed excited for this development, buuuuuuuut there are things that are still make this inferior to Samsung S tablets, like the S9 FE and S9 FE+.
Does this support Krita? Do you know? And is it a Micro SD card or a Macro SD?
Oh!! And will the shortcut remote work on it? I'm a huge sucker for the roller being used for zoom in and out in my artist 15.6 pro and I want to get the shortcut remote, but idk if it would work or not.
It works with Krita. Tablet has microSD card slot.
Shortcut Remote will not work as there's no driver, so there's no way to customise the hotkeys.
Keyboard shortcuts will work.
@@teohontech7141 thank you!!
@@teohontech7141 do you know if the xiaomi pad 6 or Samsung Galaxy Tab S series tablets support a shortcut remote? i really want to draw digitally outside but having a remote for my hotkeys/shortcuts is a must. Or can the shortcut remotes only be used on the computer?
Is it made out of metal or plastic? Thanks!
I actually cannot tell for sure. Feels like metal. Nowadays there are plastic that look like metal 😂
is anybody knows - will be on the Windows platform this device?
No windows.
thank you! Maybe samsung book pro 3 with pen - best alternative for windows platform?@@teohontech7141
Pen tip is not aligned well with the cursor.
Can WhatsApp work on it? And what are those two holes beneath the iPad?
No Whatsapp because there's no SIM support. The holes are probably for microphones

Can you run Photoshop
No
I see potential. I hope they have a 16 inch version. This is too small for me.
16-inch is gonna be so heavy, just like the Tab S9 Ultra
There is not a tablet on that size. The models for desk tablet monitors do exist and the pen is compatible with this model. The artist pro 2gen 16 is a really nice option for that
@@oscarri1102 didnt know xp pen had one of those. Now Im torn between huion studio 16 and said xp pen.
@@teohontech7141 Yeahm the s7 plus was super heavy too.
KAMVAS STUDIO 16 from Huion is close to what you ask. Check.
The misaligned pen/cursor is also happened to other reviewers, so I believe it's the inherent problem with the tablet/pen, not a defect or isolated one... With digital tablet, you can calibrate this problem, but with android tablet... well, you can't... Which is a shame, since this is not a tablet and drawing capability is the main selling point of this tablet.
I guess I will just stick with Samsung Galaxy and S-Pen.
I agree 100%
is this just not calibrated or something?
how can laminated display can missed where the pen tip touch.. im so confused with the technology now days 😅
Some pens from pen displays years ago also behave this way. The calibration needed is different from calibrating parallax because this is not parallax. And there's no driver in this tablet so there's no way to calibrate the cursor misalignment universally. Hopefully XPPen can improve this in the future.
@@teohontech7141 i hope they can fix it through software updates, its better rather waiting their new products.
It's caused by the factory calibration, they calibrate with the pen at 90° to accommodate both right and left handed people, I heard they're working on a tool to calibrate it yourself
@@neolordie is the calibrated software already released by now?
@@wesperitiochannel2309 didn't buy it, so I have no idea, I got a really good deal with a used s7+ so I got that instead
For me what is bad about this product is the processor. It seems to me that that processor cannot run 300dpi well. It looks slow running 72dpi.
Which one should i choose for note taking in 2024 , Xiao mi pad 6 or samsung tab s6 lite ?
Notebook and pen
kindle scribe! save your eyes man!
@@MassimoRosamilia There are better eink devices for notes like supernote or boox
If you have the budget, Xiaomi Pad 6 with Xiaomi Smart Pen 2 is best in its price category.
Cool review, but I would rather get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra for the 14.6 display. The cursor misalignment mentioned on Brad Colbow’s review also is a huge turn off.
Is it better than New Huawei Mate Pad ?
Not sure about better, but different. Huawei runs HarmonyOS and will have Google Play Store restrictions even when installed.
@@teohontech7141 the apps like clips studio & ibis paint still can work properly. Just don't know about performance & experience
Still better off buying s6 lite probs buts I've heard this is good
S7 FE is very good (I have it).
Pressure level is not good. Personally, I'm one of those who can still tell the pressure level based on the artwork I do.
I found the s6 lite to be a great drawing device.. but pen pressure really wasn't that great
@@hexaldecima6839I’m the same way. Pressure is key. I still have tablets with 1024, 2048 and 4096 and I can tell a big difference and how much better drivers are between each of those and definitely 8192 with my drawing and sculpting strokes/style. 16k will be huge. Believe it or not, I can actually see it in the strokes when he demonstrated it. 😊
@@The_Toonimator yep. A lot of those artists who can't tell are more likely focused on vector art and cel shading and line art that don't use any weight like Brad Colbow.
Behind the scenes: Huawei 😂 Paper Matte edition
It looks like a terrible processor, apps will crash or lag here?
Not that I noticed
tried csp 20 layer+ [2900 x 2362px 300dpi] not a problem so far
Years ago xpen stylus Broke for no reason then contacted within a year of purchase and they wouldn't cover under warranty so sadly I'll never buy xpen again i will have to wait for competition
Why 60 Hz 😢
Even 90 would be acceptable
I think because of the battery, i had one from samsung plus that could go 120hz but the battery will drain faster, aint worth it.
Add useless camera to drawing tablet: ✅
Make pen using experience perfect: 🚫
Why does everyone list the area ratio instead of the coverage ratio? The area ratio is a useless number and tells you nothing about what colors the screen actually reproduces.
an ipad 9 with the apple pencil way more better and cheaper
fr sir?
I think this tablet fails simply because it's not meant for portable I mean you think that a portable device will be made so that you can work with it during the daylight I mean whatever you want to take your drawing into I don't know maybe a park in the middle of the day and just enjoy drawing and yet you bring a tablet like this and it's just not going to give you that experience so what's the whole point of making something portable that you can't even take out unless it's night time and who wants that all the time you know? So this tablet has failed completely just because of that one thing that they should have focused on the most it's a tablet that's supposed to be portable you're supposed to take it anywhere with you and you should be able to do it in the outdoors not just the indoors anything any tablet will work just fine on the indoors it's the outdoor part that needs to be fixed once and for all and that should be the standard all tablets and or drawing tablets should be bright enough to draw during the daylight that should be legal otherwise it is complete garbage as a portable device it doesn't leave it it doesn't it doesn't leave it defeats the purpose of it being portable!
In a way you're wrong and right, it's not exactly great for outdoors but you can definitely take it to cafes, classes, libraries etc. Also you can definitely sit under some shade. It's the matte finish that makes it harder to see in sunlight, but the matte finish is the whole point of a graphic tablet, it gives a smooth papery feel, if it didn't have that finish it would make it just like any other budget android tablet. On the portable side of your complaint i would like to say, its a very slim device making it very light and portable, thats the whole point, its very appealing as with other graphic tablets you have to have a computer for the graphic tablet to work so the magic drawing tablet is very good in portability. Anyhow if you have any other problems just reply and I can try to answer you. This isn't meant to be a hate comment but to let you know more info 😊
Regarding usability outdoors, in the real world, even the M2 iPad Pro with 600 nits display and Samsung Tab S9 Ultra with 930 nits aren't bright enough to use under direct sunlight due to reflection.
You need 1500 - 2000 nits like the top end phones to have the brightness go through reflections. Imagine drawing for long periods of time at that brightness, the battery would drain so fast, not to mention the tablet will definitely overheat (I've tested and iPads overheat easily when used at max brightness outdoors for extended periods).
Another thing to consider is when you're under direct sunlight, you'll be sunburned soon enough.
When used under shade, even this xppen brightness is not too bad, considered good actually. But of course the more expensive tablets with higher brightness will look better, maybe.
Look at the M1 iPad Pro under the sun:
