    The Xiaomi Pad 6 only costs $300 here in the US, but it feels like a $500 or $600 device. The pen is better and overall it's a great feeling android tablet.

    A tip for Xiaomi products: both tablets and phone have at least a Chinese and a Global version, you got the Chinese one, as the Global is yet to be launched later this year.
    However, the Global version will have Google Play, multi-language and etc. Usually the global version of their devices launches in Europe some months after the chinese launch.
    Hope it helps

    I love your videos, Brad. I've been trying to get back into digital art as my last foray into it was the Surface Pro 3 about 10 years ago, which was...not great. Drawing technology has come so far and your reviews have tremendously helped me with the decision. I picked up a Galaxy Book Pro 360 at a steep discount last week and am really loving it so far.
    Thanks for the content that you put out!

      I used a Surface Pro 4 with SketchBook (free drawing app) and it worked great: same as using a tablet.
      I don't know what program you used but I know many people that draw on Windows like to use Photoshop which is not made for drawing (too laggy, too many tools centered around photography and not on drawing).

    Finally. Someone who reviews the thing that's most important for me. The styluses for the pads. I don't draw. But I have been a heavy s-pen user sense I fell in love with using a pen on the phone with my Samsung Note 9. I can't live without it anymore. I game with it. Surf with it. I don't write but I navigate pretty much everywhere with the pen instead of my fingers. Thank you for such a good review over this and many other styluses!

Could you maybe do a review of the Blackview Tab 16 with HiPaint or Krita next? I watched a review of it and it seems good, but there wasn't much comment on how it performs for graphic design and illustration. Thank you, and keep up the great work! :D

    • @CorrienteTech

    • @napster7914
      @napster7914 11 місяців тому

      And it to make it more interesting, it would be good to see how would they compare to normal ipads (non laminated) as well as including different apps in the tests. I have been watching your videos for a while and I think the only thing I miss is the comparison across different products such as rating line smoothness and screen brightness or resolution across all types of drawing medium that you get and review. I think this way a person can pick between two different tablet types or brands or if two tablets are needed for different use cases it would help which ones to pick. You mentioned in one of your reviews that tablets like Samsung and Apple provide better quality for drawing than display tablets overall so I want to see more on that.

    To properly gauge "pen wobble" its standard to use a ruler with the pen, much more reliable input will be given. Hands are shaky "organic" things, so unrecommended for proper review. Personally, I've never been able to make straight lines on a glass surface, only paper.

    It’s now available in Europe, I think it’s called the global version, but it’s €399 here, for the base model, a considerable price bump and for that amount there are other options available, like the Lenovo new Tab P11 and new Tab M10+ models, both with pen support.

So far what I can say is this tab is so freaking useful in helping me studying. Seriously my life saver in saving paper. As for the Xiaomi pen it is great it doesnt feel unfamilliar at all it does feel u use a pen but ofc not deff 100 same with real pen.

    Hey Brad,I am from India....would be really really grateful if u provide me some suggestions.Buying an iPad air or Pro will be very difficult for me at this time since they are quite expensive...The Xiaomi Pad 6 is within my budget.My concern is almost all the digital artists I have spoken to use Procreate on an iPad to paint and most of the tutorials and courses on the web are centered around Procreate..but since Pad 6 is Android it won't have Procreate so will it be possible to create great art...especially portraits like people do on Procreate using some alternative like say Hi Paint? Or shall I break the bank and go for an iPad anyway ( this will cause other problems)...pls suggest

      If the xiaomi pad costs 300 usd, then the base model ipad also costs around the same at 329 usd. The xiaomi tab will cost lesser but will lose software updates in the future. Unless you're a heavy artist, the base model ipad will do with the apple pencil. The experience is smoother. No hiccups at all on the ipad. Plus resale value is high too so you might want to consider. Do some more research before choosing a tablet.

    There's a xiaomi pad 6 max which is basically a 14 inch version of this that has its own seperate pen that is apparently more accurate and sensitive. It's only 550 bucks and have been considering getting it but I cant seem to find ANY videos on its drawing performance, so I'm hesitant to buy it. I think you do an amazing job weighing the pros and cons of these tablets from an artists perspective, so would you consider making a review on one?

    The only thing holding me back from buying this tablet is the software support. Xiaomi only promised 2 years of security updates and hasn't said anything on OS updates so i'm gonna assume it's 2 years too and that's pathetic. Xiaomi in general has poor software that feels sluggish over the period of time (mostly because of the heavy skin). They also don't provide security updates regularly for their mid range devices , it's once in 6 months .

      The global version will get two years OS and four years of security updates. Not great but for many enough. I suspect that as they are using the SD870 they are limited as to what they can offer as most SD870 will stop getting OD updates in the next year or so.
