Update!

I'm all set with my new study gears 💻 👩‍💻 📚

Hopefully will be back here soon (wish me luck!)

Details on the gears

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 (with an S pen)

A bookcover keyboard

It's got an 11 inch screen and taking notes with Samsung Notes is much easier, which can be modified and rearranged any time. More updates later 📲

Samsung has launched the Galaxy Tab A9, featuring the Mediatek's Helio G99 chipset.

For maybe half a year, I wanted an Android tablet with a pen after hating the idea for almost a decade because Android's tablet ecosystem is garbage and it lacked good art software for a while.

Currently, there's a 2024 Galaxy S6 Lite refresh that's exclusive to Amazon at around $250, and I jumped on that to try out the Android artist space again.

Since I already have a tablet PC and an ipad to do my main art projects, I didn't need a high end android tablet. Just something I can take on my regular commutes for notes and doodles which the other two devices are too bulky for.

I can tell you though, that this is pretty slow. Takes a while to load anything, charges maybe half as fast as modern phones or tablets in the $500 range, and while Clip Studio ran fine for drawing, I've had slight lag using the Concepts App. I suspect you can't make print-resolution comics with this thing, but it draws, and i do all my media consumption on other devices anyway.

Another thing to note is that the pen (which is included, yay) looks exactly the same as the S-pens that come with the normal Galaxy S models (at least my S7 from a few years ago), but it's not as weighted because there's no bluetooth hardware inside. I'm drawing with it fine, though I do switch pens sometimes.

If anyone is interested, I can write a long info post one of these days about all the S-Pen alternatives I know of and tried. At first, I was gonna save up extra money to get the new XP-Pen android tablet, but I like the flexibility of Wacom-powered EMR pens where i can choose between things like comfortable grip or something that magnetically attaches to the device or something. It's also easier to get cute cases and screen protectors for samsungs since they've been around forever!

There's three versions of the S6 lite. The new one has a slight spec bump and runs Android 14, so it should last a few years (both the XP Pen and Huion Androids are permanently stuck on Android 12). I believe the 2020 version is still supported, upgradeable to Android 13 and the third version is the 2022 version. All three are exactly the same in size and features- they just have different processors and android versions out of the box.

Conclusion:

I won't call this a beginner's tablet. If you're a beginner artist who hates apple and wants a standalone drawing tablet, but you also happen to have $500-700 standing around, splurge in getting a better tablet. If you don't like it for drawing, it can still be used for media consumption.

I don't regret this purchase because it does what I need it to in the most basic sense, but I would only recommend it if your needs for an android drawing tablet are the same as mine (super casual art and being able to try out android versions of drawing apps), or you are on a super tight budget. I believe the Galaxy S9 FE and the XP-Pen Magic Drawing Pad are good mid-tier models while the normal Galaxy S9/Plus/Ultra are the high tier.

This is probably the cheapest EMR Android tablet that comes with a pen and oh boy does the pen write so smooth!

I wish i can retire from using an ipad for art, but I need to learn how to use Clip Studio first since I've become overly-dependent on Procreate.

ah well!

I got a lil samsung tablet so i can sit on da couch and draw more conveniently :D

Me rambling abt it below because idk i like talking abt lil tablets like these

It's galaxy tab s9 fe, wasnt sure about the 10 inch size since i usually use 13 inch huion but its actually pretty good screen ratio! I can have all my toolbars >:3!!

the s pen is a bit thin for my taste so i'm getting a lil silicone sleeve for it later, but its a great pen, tilt controls are very important to me since my fave brushes rely on it, also the button seems to be configured to turn into an eraser on clip studio which is great, i wish it was a toggle instead of having to hold down the button

The main thing tho to make it feel nice to me personally though, i had to get a matte textured screen protector, cause i hate slippery screens even if the original pen tip has a rubbery tip to make it easy to draw on, i tried getting those paperlike screen protectors for the first time for this and DEAR GOD its so textured, as in it can actually sand down hard plastic pen nibs like within a minute of scribbling. I knew this though from reviews so i got a set of nibs that had a metal one, and as much as i was apprehensive about metal on screen it feels GREAT!! Like ballpoint pen on paper. I just don't press hard when I draw so its not a huge problem I suppose. Don't use metal nibs without a screen protector btw

The main thing though.... is drawing apps. I love clip studio paint, it works wonderfully on this tablet, but.

Subscription cost. Lmao

I've also tried a few different apps available, ibis paint, infinity painter, hipaint, medibang, etc. I'm sure those are great for different people but I think i'm too clip studio pilled LOL i'll only switch if I find another app that can use .ABR style brush files since then i can import brushes i like, but clip studios file syncing also calls to me cause i hoard data on like 2 laptops so having artwork synced up is way easier esp if im not home

But yeah all in all this things perfect for my needs but also i'm stingy and don't wanna pay subscriptions but also I want clip studio to continue being good cause I'm afraid of software obsolescence hfhjfsjjfjd anyways this thing better fix all of my problems like immediately (plays cookie run on it until i decompose)

I'm still trying to master Sketchbook Pro on my Galaxy Tab ( S6 lite ). Well.. I may try to create my own brushes... and I'm still trying a way to have a blur not brush dependent (and also to remember how to export in PSD to finish the picture on my desktop).

So here.

I drew a kitsune mask. Who's surprised?
