@@jimmygudiel3007Hey, how is the tablet? I'm looking to get one myself but I haven't really decided which one. A question I have is what software did you find the best for drawing on the tablet? (Preferably free or one-time purchase)
Got mine recently. It's the WiFi/LTE model. Paid 15,150 PHP or around 275 USD. I like it. Now I can do digital art on a larger screen than my old phone.
Hi, guessing you're also a Filipino because of the currency. May I know where did you buy yours and if you also have the screen bleed issue on your tab? Since I can't find a reliable online shop that will grant the replacement/refund for a widely known screen bleed issue.
@@LinkSergilBelmont thanks!! very much just in time actually since we're planning to get it tomorrow 😂 btw do you have an idea if the pricing is similar to those in physical stores sa malls??
One of the things that has really helped me with the transition to digital art was using my tablet in portrait mode instead of landscape mode. Something about th orientation is allowing my transition from traditional to digital so much easier. Not sure why but trying to draw digitally in landscape mode was not working for me. Sketchbook and Artflow in portrait mode has been a real game changer for me. I need to try Sketches, I keep forgetting about that one.
yeah, i hate that those tablets are widescreen, they should be less retangular, like ipads, I think there's a samsung tablet that has that same ratio. For character designers and people who do portraits having a less retangular screen is so much better.
I did buy this tablet today, and its epic! Some people say that Smart View does not work, but it does work, and it also has Dex. Plus, i use Duet DIsplay to use it as a second monitor. For 249 euro this was an great deal. ANd it has no light bleed luckily :D
Does it still work well after 9 months? Im frustrated because I cant afford an iPad (specially after the .massive price increase from Apple? but at the same time I wouldnt want to spend 300€ on a device that might give problems in the first few years of use (unlike iPads which are pretty safe in that aspect and it can run like first day even if it is 8 years old)
@@paquito4147I've used it for about 6 months and it's still like new. I don't get this idea about Apple products. I constantly hear about issues from friends and I've never had problems with Android phones/tablets. Just last week a friend's 1 year old iPhone had a battery swell and break though the glass lol Two weeks ago I had a friend complaining about glitchy BT connection.
I have the 2022 version and agree it is a great tablet what I like the most was how seamlessly setting the apps up with from my Samsung phone to the tablet was
@@DimeDXBeatz If you have a Samsung Acc, you can log in with it on any Samsung device, and your settings, IDs, PWs etc , just transfer over said devices.
I am in the process of buying the Samsung S6 lite to start my new hobby in drawing… your video has definitely helped and provided very useful information! I hope the pen that comes with it is pressurized! Great sharing👍
the light at the side is normal. It is not a light bleed. this type of of display is lit from the edge across the display. different to a backlit screen but still very nice display for the $$$
16:35 The light sensor is at the top, so as you selected the bucket tool, you covered it with your pen holding hand. I bought a case for this tablet and had to cut out a portion of it, because they forgot about the light sensor. I wondered why my tablet was bright all the time while out of the case and went dim instantly when put into the case. It's placement is not optimal, because right handed people cover it all the time while drawing in portrait mode. I mostly fix the brightness when drawing.
I have the 2020 model, it is very good. However recently I have noticed screen burn issues only after 2 years, it is very annoying even if I have an app open for a few minutes the pixels get stuck.
@@HukayDo2287 It is possible for LCD to have burn in as well, just that it's uncommon. I had an LG phone with LCD display in the past that had display burn in issues.
i saw on tiktok that a way to fix screen burns is to play a video of TV static for a few minutes, i have yet to test that but the comments said it works so i really hope this helps :)

Your baby girl is beautiful! Thank you for the review. I hope to improve my drawing with this tablet when I get it hopefully in December or in January.
I bought a used 2022 model, and mine has the same light bleed issue. Other reviewers noticed it as well. It seems to be an issue with all of the S6 Lite 2022 tablets. Overall it’s a really good price for a beginner drawing tablet, or in my case, a student who needs something smaller and light for on the go homework.
This makes me very happy to have the Tab s7+ and Tab s8 Ultra, and getting the ipad mini 6 soon to use procreate! My tab s6 lite used to make me so mad because it was so slow and laggy. im hopong the new 2022 models will be better for the people that buy it. i will be passing lol id rather go for the regular tab S6 over the lite
I own a Isuzu D-Max Double Cab (2022 version) 80k, and a CHOPPED Y62 V8 fully Offroad fitted with a alloy canopy including 12v and a rooftop tent. Around 150k for that car alone.

Hey Teoh, great video as always. I have a question. Do you recommend applying matte protection for this Galaxy Tab S6 lite? afaik this type doesn't come with screen protector like gorilla glass or the likes (at least in my country). Should I use it as it is or buy a screen protection? What would you recommend for me since I will be mainly using it to draw and maybe browsing a lil bit. (Not to watch netflix or youtube). What will it affect with or without screen protection? (the feel on drawing, the durabilty of pen nib). sorry for the long question, because I know you are the right guy to ask about this lol. Thanks in advance.
I think a matte screen protector is necessary if you already have a flip cover. The matte screen protector will also wear out the rubber tip of the S Pen very quick, and you have to switch to plastic tip.
From your detailed reviews.. I'm starting out actually drawing on tab, I've been drawing or sketching on paper, but want to be able to do it on tabs as well as pair that tab to my laptop to draw with it (I saw a way using super display app). So I've been looking for an entry level tab between $250-$300 that comes with everything I need, good pen and good screen size. I was considering the Lenovo Tab P11 Gen 2 with precision pen 2 and also saw the Xiaomi Tab 5, and lastly this Samsung Tab s6 lite.. From all I've seen so far, I think the safest option would be this since it's somewhat reliable and have good drawing experience.. But what do you say?
It's gonna be between Xiaomi and this Samsung tablet. The Xiaomi tablet is a much better tablet, but the Samsung has better drawing performance with the S Pen (included).
@@teohontech7141 alright... Thank you.. I think I'll go with the better drawing experience... Cause that's what's more important to me. I want to get into the line of making stickers and other hand drawn digital products.. So I think I'll go with the Samsung. I've seen it go for $300, so I believe it's a better deal. Good choice right? Since you have a better experience than me.. Both drawing and using these tabs.
For note taking this works fine. There aren't many good options under USD 300. Another tablet worth taking a look is the Blackview Tab 18 with their so called S Pen Gen 2 (not the $5 one sold as bundle). That tablet is good and affordable. But I don't have that pen to test for writing and drawing.
@@teohontech7141 thanks a lot for your suggestion, just saw your video on Blackview 18 :D, will wait a bit for your in-depth review. Also, Xiaomi pad 6 looks like a great tab for around 400$ price point.
ahhh thanks for this review :D im an artist and use my phone for drawing and lately i been thinking about getting a tablet for it, i wanted to go for a samsung tab because its cheap compared to apple options so this review helps to compare available options ^^
Hello, between this tablet Samsung s6 lite and Lenovo tab with Lenovo precision pen 2, which is better? In my country Samsung s6 is about 110 USD more expensive. Great review!
Anyone have a case recommendation that has a good stand to draw with? Most are angled too high, and i heard that some magnetic cases can slightly mess with the S-pen when drawing
Thank you for all your extremely helpful videos. Which Android tablet would you recommend now to a budding artist if money matters? I'm torn between this and the S7 FE or maybe one of the Xiaomi ones. I would appreciate your opinion on this.
They have the same drawing performance. Not sure about the performance since it has been years since I've used Tab S4. But S6 Lite performance seems fast and smooth enough.
Hey i can't decide if i should go for s6 lite or a display tablet(xp 10), i mostly need for illustrations and short 2d animations, is s6 good for animations?
what would you recommend between s6 lite 2022 and p11 plus with the precision pen 2? both are the same price in my region. i do prefer the p11's better ips screen with viewing angles and better colors and i dont really like TFT panels with very tight viewing angles and especially on this one with the backlight bleed near the bottom, however this is going to come down to drawing/digital art performance for me. seeing as you have tried both, is the drawing experience different enough to justify going for one over the other? the tablet's main use will be drawing/digital art, but i will also use it for reading manga/books and consuming media such as shows/youtube videos/movies. i would really appreciate your insight on this.
I bought s6 lite and also worrying about the tft display but boy...it is absolute bomb...the display is great,I have no light bleed issue and the battery last very long...I mainly using it for drawing comic...3-4 hours with just 4% battery decreased.
Hi Teoh! Please, do you know if this tablet needs to be protected with a film or screen protector? 😮 Taking into account that I would use it mainly for illustration ✨ and the rest secondary web navigation... I'm waiting for the tablet as a gift (I don't know if it will be 2020 or 2022 i will still take care of it 🤗❤) in these months or soon and I would like to know if I use it to draw 😯 will the screen be scratched and also learn more about suitable spare parts for the pencil and the pressure of This pencil is compatible with glass or matte screen protectors. Currently I draw with a deco pro s that i'm 4 years old somewhat worn out but still alive and I connect it to my Android cell phone only that I view it on a small screen 😅. Thanks Theo for your review. Greetings! 😃👍
If you want to use a screen protector, just get those thin plastic ones. The thicker glass ones may affect pen performance. The matte screen protectors will wear off the pen tip faster. The pen tip will not scratch glass so you may not even need a screen protector. FYI, glass is harder than most metals. You can just go with a flip case. For original soft S Pen nibs, the rubberised ones and not the plastic ones, you can buy from AliExpress sellers, these two tidd.ly/3JOQb4E tidd.ly/3POuWEa
Hey Teoh, looking to buy this as a gift for someone who would definitely use this to draw for work. No gaming would be necessary, though she’d probably use it to watch shows. Would you still recommend this or the Xiaomi Pad 5? I understand the Xiaomi is more powerful, but I wonder if Samsung has better updates lifespan. Both are running around the 400 or sub-400 SGD price range in Singapore.
If you draw often, get Samsung. Otherwise the Xiaomi is a much better tablet for everything else. As for updates, all I can say is not having updates does not mean the tablet will stop working.
I have the 2020 version. I love it and I mostly use it for drawing. But lately I started to consider if I should change it to an iPad. What do you think of iPads and which one is better? Do you have any recommendations which iPad should I get that is similar?
@@teohyc in india s6 lite is available for 24k and ipad for 27k and i can buy apple pencil alternative for around 2.5k....for this difference would ipad be a better option?
hi my dad is planning to get me a digital material for drawing at the end of the year, do you think this is still one of the best budget tablet going 2024? also considering the xiaomi pad 5, though i think the s6 lite is gonna be cheaper plus it already comes with a pen. do you think buying it this time around will still be worth it and will it still do fine in maybe a few years from now? also concerns in it eventually getting outdated etc?? since there's like an s9 now but ipad/later tablets are expensive for us unfortunately tbh idc much about anything else, just need an affordable drawing material which can offer good drawing experience, bigger screen (since i draw on my phone 😅), and will hold out just fne for maybe a few years
If you have limited budget, this is probably the one with the best drawing performance at the lower price point. The tablet probably won't be outdated that fast unless the drawing apps evolved to need more resources and I don't really expect that to happen.
@@teohontech7141 thank you so much for the response! but either way both are fine right??? we're actually planning to get a tablet tomorrow, unfortunately i was wrong and the xiaomi one seems to be the cheaper option based on online pricing... hopefully both will be worth it regardless of which one we end up going for 😅
@tutortomato bought the samsung one! it's been 4 months and it's fine so far!! i like that it came with the pen already so tbh i'm satisfied that i went w it. if ur an artist samsung is the better option bc the pen is better (i do digital art so my main concern was the pen) but if you aren't then either of the two is fine i think??
Do you have to get an internet account and download apps directly onto the s6 or can I use my Samsung phone to download apps and somehow transfer them to the s6? Tethering via usb cable or wireless? Via wifi? Bluetooth?
i just got a s6 lite, and so far my only criticism is the somewhat short battery life, other than that its been working perfectly! the apps did crash a few times at the start while the tablet was still fully starting up as i tested it straight from the box, but after that ive had no problems with it :) do you just happen to know how to stop the pen menu from popping up every time i use the button? ive been using it as a shortcut to switch between pen and eraser on ibispaint x and the side menu popping up every time blocks my strokes and gets annoying fast (by the way, great genshin gameplay lol)
You can test pressure with Medibang Paint Pro (need to turn it on in settings), Infinite Painter, Clip Studio Paint. Actually most drawing apps should work with pressure
I would suggest getting the opensource software market called f-droid, it has the drawing software called 'Krita' for android, which works really well on this tablet :)
@@teohyc I did not realize its in the play store, also curious if the versions in fdroid and play store are different since the play store listing says it has in app purches.
I have a doubt: I know that just 4GB RAM isn't very good, especially if we're talking about applications like Clip Studio and using it to make animations and things like that. But, could RAM PLUS technology help performance? Since the tablet has 128GB, and probably has a 12GB RAM PLUS option, would it have a positive impact on performance?
@@photoniccannon2117 oh. If I'm not mistaken, if the user wants, they can change these options and either turn them off or add more. What do you think of his performance when using clip studio? I know it won't run like an iPad or an S8, but does the program work well on this tablet? Is it possible to make animations on this tablet using CSP? (simple animations, not too heavy stuff)
In Germany this costs 239€ and the ipad 10 , 579€… what should I do ( +100€ for the pencil 1 gen) !?!? I have a MacBook and an iPhone and I like the macOS/iOS but Apple has some crazy prices in Europe at the moment.
Hey friends, I need a quick advice from you - I am in a hurry to buy a drawing tablet for my 10 years old daughter. It will be her first experience with a pen tablet. Should I go with this Samsung Tab S6 Lite 2022 or with Simbans PicassoTab XL? Anything else below $400 price tag? Thank you in advance.
For drawing on Android, go with Samsung. 2nd place is Xiaomi Pad 5 with Xiaomi Smart Pen. Xiaomi tablet is much better but the drawing performance not as precise as the Samsung S Pen.
Some drawing apps will save files within apps, and those will use internal storage. If you use apps that save files to the cloud, or apps that let you choose save location (external storage), then you can get 64GB. But if you can afford, I highly recommend 128GB storage.
iPad is better for logo design because there are more apps that handle vector, text and layout. The Android app that can do this is Vectorink and you can try it out on their website vectorink.io
If you are buying a tablet for drawing, this has very good drawing performance. It’s not too expensive and is a good starter tablet for learning digital art
Hello! I have a question. Can Illustrator be used on this tablet? Or can the illustration be imported in some compatible format and then opened in Illustrator from a PC? Can the illustration be separated into layers by color?
Ok, i dont recommend this tablet, spen is a really bad drawing experience, the tilt is useless and if you deactivate it manually in lets say infinite painter(or any other drawing app) then when the pen is in angle the pressure sensibility disappears.
Test with Dry Ink brush from Infinite Painter. You be able to draw with light or heavy pressure, and with tilt. The pen's design isn't the best for tilt though because when you tilt too low, the pen tip loses contact with the glass. Staedtler Noris Digital, Lamy AL Star can tilt lower
@@teohontech7141 thank you for taking the time to respond, but, it isnt working, its like a spen desing problem, if you turn off the tilt but tend to draw with the pen "tilted" it adds another layer of pressure and makes the lines thicker than it should be, the pen is designed to be holded straight and thats not how real pens(or cintiq/intuos) works. Would try to get another EMR pens, hope it doesnt turn on a waste of money...

Hi Teoh, based on the drawing experience alone, do you prefer this new S6 lite or the older S4?
They have the same drawing performance. Not sure about the performance since it has been years since I've used Tab S4. But S6 Lite performance seems fast and smooth enough.
Hey i can't decide if i should go for s6 lite or a display tablet(xp 10), i mostly need for illustrations and short 2d animations, is s6 good for animations?
The xppen is better because desktop animation software is better. But not sure how good they will work on a small display
what would you recommend between s6 lite 2022 and p11 plus with the precision pen 2? both are the same price in my region.
i do prefer the p11's better ips screen with viewing angles and better colors and i dont really like TFT panels with very tight viewing angles and especially on this one with the backlight bleed near the bottom, however this is going to come down to drawing/digital art performance for me.
seeing as you have tried both, is the drawing experience different enough to justify going for one over the other? the tablet's main use will be drawing/digital art, but i will also use it for reading manga/books and consuming media such as shows/youtube videos/movies.
i would really appreciate your insight on this.
Samsung will have better drawing performance
@@teohontech7141 is the difference in drawing performance enough to warrant going with the noticeably worse screen?
@@finnmartins191 The Samsung screen is not as the P11 Plus but it's not that bad
I bought s6 lite and also worrying about the tft display but boy...it is absolute bomb...the display is great,I have no light bleed issue and the battery last very long...I mainly using it for drawing comic...3-4 hours with just 4% battery decreased.
badly wish that good with my hands.
edit - oh yeah, mine surpasses the 2024 model, didn't cheap out the charger.
Which one would you recommend mainly for drawing, the original s6 or lite 2022
Maybe the 2022. Original S6 is kinda old so not sure about the battery health left
@@teohontech7141 thanks
Hi Teoh! Please, do you know if this tablet needs to be protected with a film or screen protector? 😮 Taking into account that I would use it mainly for illustration ✨ and the rest secondary web navigation...
I'm waiting for the tablet as a gift (I don't know if it will be 2020 or 2022 i will still take care of it 🤗❤) in these months or soon and I would like to know if I use it to draw 😯 will the screen be scratched and also learn more about suitable spare parts for the pencil and the pressure of This pencil is compatible with glass or matte screen protectors.
Currently I draw with a deco pro s that i'm 4 years old somewhat worn out but still alive and I connect it to my Android cell phone only that I view it on a small screen 😅. Thanks Theo for your review. Greetings! 😃👍
If you want to use a screen protector, just get those thin plastic ones. The thicker glass ones may affect pen performance. The matte screen protectors will wear off the pen tip faster.
The pen tip will not scratch glass so you may not even need a screen protector. FYI, glass is harder than most metals. You can just go with a flip case.
For original soft S Pen nibs, the rubberised ones and not the plastic ones, you can buy from AliExpress sellers, these two

@@teohontech7141Thanks Theo for your recommendations 🙏☺️.
I will take them into account 😀👍✨
Hey Teoh, looking to buy this as a gift for someone who would definitely use this to draw for work. No gaming would be necessary, though she’d probably use it to watch shows.
Would you still recommend this or the Xiaomi Pad 5? I understand the Xiaomi is more powerful, but I wonder if Samsung has better updates lifespan. Both are running around the 400 or sub-400 SGD price range in Singapore.
If you draw often, get Samsung. Otherwise the Xiaomi is a much better tablet for everything else. As for updates, all I can say is not having updates does not mean the tablet will stop working.
The Xiaomi Pad 5 is better for multimedia. It has a better screen and and excellent sound. The S6 lite is a good one and the S Pen is a plus.
I have the 2020 version. I love it and I mostly use it for drawing. But lately I started to consider if I should change it to an iPad. What do you think of iPads and which one is better? Do you have any recommendations which iPad should I get that is similar?
There is no point switching when your current tablet is still working
What drawing programs are you using?
Concepts
Sir which app is used instead of adobe illustrator in this tablet for illustration or graphic designing.
Vectorink is the only one I can think of on Android vectorink.io
Sir in concept app can we create tshirts designs for etsy ? If no then suggest me app for this tab.thankyou so much sir for your response
@@tahminasiddiqui853 You can but it will be hand drawn art. You can download Concepts app on Windows to try first
@@teohontech7141 ok sir thankyou so much for your guidence👍
Hello, is this tab has palm rejection function as well?
There is
May I ask how durable is the pen tip? Do you get only one in the box? Thank you, great review btw.
There’s only on tip. It’s quite durable. Anyway replacement tips are easy to find
Ipad 9th gen with alternative stylus or s6 lite... Which is better for students??
Really depends on your budget. For limited budget, probably get S6 Lite and you can use microsd card for more storage. Comes with S Pen too.
@@teohyc in india s6 lite is available for 24k and ipad for 27k and i can buy apple pencil alternative for around 2.5k....for this difference would ipad be a better option?

hi my dad is planning to get me a digital material for drawing at the end of the year, do you think this is still one of the best budget tablet going 2024?
also considering the xiaomi pad 5, though i think the s6 lite is gonna be cheaper plus it already comes with a pen. do you think buying it this time around will still be worth it and will it still do fine in maybe a few years from now? also concerns in it eventually getting outdated etc?? since there's like an s9 now but ipad/later tablets are expensive for us unfortunately
tbh idc much about anything else, just need an affordable drawing material which can offer good drawing experience, bigger screen (since i draw on my phone 😅), and will hold out just fne for maybe a few years
If you have limited budget, this is probably the one with the best drawing performance at the lower price point. The tablet probably won't be outdated that fast unless the drawing apps evolved to need more resources and I don't really expect that to happen.
@@teohontech7141 thank you so much for the response! but either way both are fine right??? we're actually planning to get a tablet tomorrow, unfortunately i was wrong and the xiaomi one seems to be the cheaper option based on online pricing... hopefully both will be worth it regardless of which one we end up going for 😅
@@93quarters37 how is the tablet going? You buying samsung or xiaomi?
@tutortomato bought the samsung one! it's been 4 months and it's fine so far!! i like that it came with the pen already so tbh i'm satisfied that i went w it. if ur an artist samsung is the better option bc the pen is better (i do digital art so my main concern was the pen) but if you aren't then either of the two is fine i think??
What graphic design apps do you use?
I don't do graphic design on tablets. I use desktop. But if you want to, you can try Krita, Clip Studio Paint
Hello man, between this ai tab s6 lite 2022 and the mi pad 5. In terms of writing and use of studies which one would you indicate.
The Xiaomi tablet is better. Pen performance for writing is good
@@teohontech7141 Hi Teoh how about in terms of drawing? Is Mipad also better?
@@qeqeuna1440 Samsung S Pen has better drawing performance. But that Xiaomi tablet is better in almost all ways.
Do you have to get an internet account and download apps directly onto the s6 or can I use my Samsung phone to download apps and somehow transfer them to the s6? Tethering via usb cable or wireless?
Via wifi? Bluetooth?
There is wifi
what about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra?
Same drawing performance, just bigger.
@@teohontech7141 Yeah way bigger and strongh. But expensive lol.
i just got a s6 lite, and so far my only criticism is the somewhat short battery life, other than that its been working perfectly! the apps did crash a few times at the start while the tablet was still fully starting up as i tested it straight from the box, but after that ive had no problems with it :)
do you just happen to know how to stop the pen menu from popping up every time i use the button?
ive been using it as a shortcut to switch between pen and eraser on ibispaint x and the side menu popping up every time blocks my strokes and gets annoying fast
(by the way, great genshin gameplay lol)
There are no solution to that,I stopped using the side button 😅
I'm sorry, which example application in the video was able to perceive the pressure of the pen?
You can test pressure with Medibang Paint Pro (need to turn it on in settings), Infinite Painter, Clip Studio Paint. Actually most drawing apps should work with pressure
I would suggest getting the opensource software market called f-droid, it has the drawing software called 'Krita' for android, which works really well on this tablet :)
@@jaydonald4898 Why is f-droid needed when you can already find Krita in Google Play Store
@@teohyc I did not realize its in the play store, also curious if the versions in fdroid and play store are different since the play store listing says it has in app purches.
@@jaydonald4898 Krita should be free as it's an opensource software
I have a doubt: I know that just 4GB RAM isn't very good, especially if we're talking about applications like Clip Studio and using it to make animations and things like that. But, could RAM PLUS technology help performance? Since the tablet has 128GB, and probably has a 12GB RAM PLUS option, would it have a positive impact on performance?
I only see 2GB and 4GB options on mine (128GB)
@@photoniccannon2117 oh. If I'm not mistaken, if the user wants, they can change these options and either turn them off or add more. What do you think of his performance when using clip studio? I know it won't run like an iPad or an S8, but does the program work well on this tablet? Is it possible to make animations on this tablet using CSP? (simple animations, not too heavy stuff)
Can it be used as a display tablet for computer?
Yes, but there will be noticeable lag
In Germany this costs 239€ and the ipad 10 , 579€… what should I do ( +100€ for the pencil 1 gen) !?!? I have a MacBook and an iPhone and I like the macOS/iOS but Apple has some crazy prices in Europe at the moment.
The Samsung just provides more value for money. Or consider Tab S7 FE if that's also at a good price, and this will be even better than the iPad.
Hey friends, I need a quick advice from you - I am in a hurry to buy a drawing tablet for my 10 years old daughter. It will be her first experience with a pen tablet. Should I go with this Samsung Tab S6 Lite 2022 or with Simbans PicassoTab XL? Anything else below $400 price tag? Thank you in advance.
Tab s6 lite has better drawing performance. Samsung S Pen is more accurate
@@teohontech7141 Thanks for the prompt answer. It will help me decide on what to buy her for her birthday.
Great artist reviews. Latency of Huawei Matepad 11 Vs Galaxy s6 lite? Any opinions of overall best buy value? The two tablets almost same price here.
For drawing on Android, go with Samsung. 2nd place is Xiaomi Pad 5 with Xiaomi Smart Pen. Xiaomi tablet is much better but the drawing performance not as precise as the Samsung S Pen.
Please Test Ibis Paint X
is 64 GB enough? or should I buy the 128 GB one
Some drawing apps will save files within apps, and those will use internal storage. If you use apps that save files to the cloud, or apps that let you choose save location (external storage), then you can get 64GB.
But if you can afford, I highly recommend 128GB storage.
Does ibisPaint palm rejection works with the S6's S-Pen?
Yes
Seeing it when you brush the stylus, the response seems so laggy...
What is cheapest standalone drawing tablet can I buy?
It is probably still this one currently
@@teohontech7141 how long can use this pen if draw at least 6hrs for a day 24/7 ?
@@2DAnimax Pen does not need battery to draw. As for pen nib wearing out, I am not sure but you can buy cheap replacement pen nibs in advance

For logo designs which app is best in this tab plz reply must
iPad is better for logo design because there are more apps that handle vector, text and layout. The Android app that can do this is Vectorink and you can try it out on their website vectorink.io
Im new to digital art, which app do you recommend for the s6 for cute anime drawings? Are they free or do they cost money? Thank you
Some are free, some are not. For free ones, try Medibang Paint. For paid ones Infinite Painter

please!!!! does this tablet (or pen) support palm rejection??
Yes
@@teohontech7141 thank you!!
should I buy this tablet,If I have litterally no experience to draw?
If you are buying a tablet for drawing, this has very good drawing performance. It’s not too expensive and is a good starter tablet for learning digital art
is there photoshop for drawing?
No Photoshop. That's available on iPad, but it's the tablet version of Photoshop, not desktop version
Hello! I have a question.
Can Illustrator be used on this tablet? Or can the illustration be imported in some compatible format and then opened in Illustrator from a PC? Can the illustration be separated into layers by color?
Adobe drawing and graphic design apps are not available on Android
The screen bleed is so noticeable
Does the pen support Palm Rejection ?
Yes
@@teohontech7141 Thanks. I am thinking of buying this. I am low on budget.
Wow awesome

Ok, i dont recommend this tablet, spen is a really bad drawing experience, the tilt is useless and if you deactivate it manually in lets say infinite painter(or any other drawing app) then when the pen is in angle the pressure sensibility disappears.
Dont know if other EMR pens have the same problem but spen was disappointing
Test with Dry Ink brush from Infinite Painter. You be able to draw with light or heavy pressure, and with tilt.
The pen's design isn't the best for tilt though because when you tilt too low, the pen tip loses contact with the glass. Staedtler Noris Digital, Lamy AL Star can tilt lower
@@teohontech7141 thank you for taking the time to respond, but, it isnt working, its like a spen desing problem, if you turn off the tilt but tend to draw with the pen "tilted" it adds another layer of pressure and makes the lines thicker than it should be, the pen is designed to be holded straight and thats not how real pens(or cintiq/intuos) works.
Would try to get another EMR pens, hope it doesnt turn on a waste of money...
@@davidmartin1551 You should download other apps that support tilt to test. E.g. Concepts, Sketchbook.
