@@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.

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

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.
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 But at that point you probably wouldnt even want it anymore because itd be seriously outdated.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 My kindle is pretty old so my opinion might be outdated.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.

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!
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.
@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.
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 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 ;).
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....
+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%
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?
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. :)
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. ❤️😄
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
Great video Teoh, thanks for your review! I'm actually torn between buying tab s3, the samsung book, and the note 8. I've been using medibang to make short manga with my tab A and s pen. I own a surface 3 with the pen, but frankly, I'm better off using my tab A in my artwork because medibang gets annoyingly laggy under a windows platform. Any tips on which one of the three I should buy? Thanks!
I'm not too sure how good the Samsung Galaxy Book is because I've not used it. Medibang is very usable on Tab S3. The only downside is the screen is only 9.7-inches. As for which to buy. If you already have a computer, get the Tab S3.
Hello Teoh! Great review! I am in the market to buy a tablet and am wondering which would be best in your opinion. I'm looking for high quality and for one that would be used for professional art work. Any help would be appreciated!!
Currently, I think the best is Samsung Tab S3 or iPad Pro. If you need a main computer, then perhaps Lenovo Miix 510 but the pen is not as accurate as the Tab S3 or iPad --- as in there's jitter when drawing diagonal lines.
Thanks! I don't need a main computer. I'm looking for a tablet that can do the most and produce the best art work. Would you choose one over the other when it comes to the Tab S3 or iPad? Do you think one is better for art work?
+Jessica Gaudette I think at 9.7 inches, Samsung has the advantage because the price includes S Pen, and there is option for expandable storage (that you can use in future when you upgrade). I like large screens, so i will go for iPad Pro 12.9
Please add Clower Paint to list of applications that you test. Clower Paint is one of the most professional drawing app for Android. By the way great review!
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! 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.
Have you encountered any problems since this review? I'm kinda worried about the screen since it's an AMOLED screen, have you encountered any screen burn-ins during your use of the device? Great unique review by the way.
I haven't seen any burn in on the Tab s3 yet. The usual areas of burn in would be around areas where the image is static. e.g. time, date, icons that don't move. If you're always using your tablet, burn-in risk is low, except for the time and date area. It will take a long time, hours, for a static image to burn in. If you're rotating your tablet to change view, such as to view RUclips, then the time and date will also move. PS: I've burn-in on my LCD phone though, but not the Tab S3
Teoh Yi Chie Okay, thank you for the tips and info, and sorry to hear about your LCD phone having screen burn-ins. I thought screen burn-ins on LCD screens was very rare or it never happens to LCD, but thanks again.
Hm an ipad pro 10.5 is 2 times more expensive than a tab s3 here in my country, will I lose too much on drawing potential if I go for a s3, considering the money value
I was testing both this product and Ipad pro with apple pencil, and I would definitely choose ipad pro. ( I'm a student and my major is painting and drawing )
nickdziwny I appreciate the feedback,but would you care to explain why?in what ways is the iPad pro better than the s3?I'm in the hunt of a good tablet or convertible ans thé drawing feature as well as note taking is vert important to me
Well It just feels more natural, faster and more responsive + good tilt of pen ( which s3 don't have ) with Ipad Pro + Apple Pencil. Also I prefer IOS programs for drawing like procreate for example, it's very good software for digital art making. S3 might be good for some and don't get me wrong it's good device ( I think samsung is one of the best for android ) but S3 pen is not more responsive than Apple Pencil. For me Apple Pencil was more comfortable to hold on to also when I was testing s3 it had some weird lag and it wasn't working that well. When Apple Pencil was doing lines exactly where I wanted them to be S3 pencil did not. Also I think price for the S3 is too much with what It have to offer now. If it was much cheaper than Ipad Pro than maybe I would consider to buy it instead of Ipad Pro. I also think Teoh Yi Chie did very good video on showing those two devices. Hope my opinion on this help you somehow and sorry for any mistakes in English.
My first tablet was the Motorola xoom 2 and then skip to note 10.1 but it was a disappointment that I had a defect that distorted vertical lines of what should be, I finally returned it and hesitate to re-trust Samsung but Probe Note 10.1 2014 32g and I really liked his performance to draw. Until now none of the other tablets of Samsung with stylus had surpassed this model until I see that at last the Tap S3 has characteristics that over pass note 10.1 2014. I draw a lot for works, the chance is justified to this tablet, or i wait to another version of another year?
There really isn't much downside to this tablet so it's a safe buy. I doubt next model will be significantly better, unless they have a larger and more comfortable S Pen.
Does the pressure sensitivity work with LayerPaint HD and Painter as well? I know you've tested the Lenovo Yoga Book as well, does that one work well with LayerPaint HD and Painter in regards to lag and pressure sensitivity? Which of the tablets do you prefer, the Samsung or the Lenovo?
Pressure works with LayerPaint HD and Painter. Drawing on the screen feels more intuitive. Lenovo Yoga Book is more accurate when it comes to taking notes.
Thank you so much for answering. I'm more into drawing and painting, so the Galaxy would be a better choice then. Thanks for the great reviews you always do from an artist point of view. Very helpful.
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 the review, you're very insightful about the so often overlooked art capabilities of tablets and phones. I love painting on my Note 4. Could you please tell me how much the battery discharges when turned off and with airplane mode on? (I don't plan the use the tablet much for watching internet content but I'd like it to be ready as quick as possible whenever I want to do a drawing session) An overnight test would be cool but just 1 hour would be enough. Thank you :].
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).
Would you put this in place of iPad pro for arts and general tasks like studying amd annotations? Iny opinion the S pen interface is more intuitive and productive than apple pencil however the Ipad pro ios is more shiny lookimg tjan android in general. Love your reviews thank you.
+Mohammad Shawqy I think this is as capable. There are also many useful apps. IOS does look and feel more polished. But functionality should be very similar. What you want to do on iOS you can probably do on Android, and vice versa with minor differences. Check out my iPad Pro vs Tab S3 review ruclips.net/video/2yzVoqJ5ft0/видео.html
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.
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.
Since the prices of both are very similar now, iPad 2018 is the better choice. My review for that iPad is here ruclips.net/video/BaRKrlnYrG4/видео.html
I subscribed for you Because you are very nice show us iPads apps programmes how are work, thank you so much But please I need to know about the pencil hazard and I don't know how I can charge it and start to use it and about another kinds of pencils as well. Thank you again, you are very good .
For drawing i find this tablet quite nice, the app Medibang is really nice. However i find the tablet overall quite slow, scrolling pages like the google play store or the internet is painfull, is it just me? And the battery is melting so fast that i doubt i wouldn't reconsider taking it away from the desk...Could you confirm that it's not just me? Also, Medibang usually stops at some point, then somehow "restart" (the page goes small, i have to resize it), i believe the memory has reached its limit, does that happen to you too?
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..
many thanks for the review with medibang, i was waiting for something like this, still searching for the book with clip studio, im planning an update from galaxy tab A, and a cintiq is not an option so im between those 2 DX
Hi! I'm taking Chinese lessons and I would like to quit paper for a numeric support. In your opinion, would the tab s3 be good enough to write Chinese or do I shall buy the iPad pro? Thank you!
If it is just for writing, Tab S3 is good enough. Do compare the price with iPad 2018 and Apple Pencil. If the iPad is cheaper, get that because it is better. There is no need to get iPad Pro.
+Why Not ? I'm not sure if there is going to be any significant difference. I have not used the previous Samsung Tab before. If you are no satisfied with your old tablet, then it may be worth an upgrade.
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

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...
Do a video testing corelpaintermobile app on the samsung galaxy tab s3 please, I'd like to see how well it preforms too!
Very nice presentation and informative. thx
Love watching your videos! So enjoyable!
AWESOME video review of Tab S3 and S-pen ... big THANKS ... 😎
+nikolass83gianni Thanks 😁
You are most welcome ... 😎
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!!! :)
Hi Teoh, may I know, Is all AMOLED screen have this color shifting like in 11:12 ? Is even Tab S7+ still have this problem?
good job Teoh i really wish to have this one!!
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?
Very good review! Thank you for your help!
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.
Exactly the review I needed! Thanks!! (This or an iPad 9.7 for sketching?)
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. ❤️😄
Hopefully i can get one of these soon. I was going to get an ipad but i prefer this just cause you can do more. But nice video by the way 👍
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.
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
You are awesome, the best s3 review of youtube thanks.
Thanks 😁
Great video Teoh, thanks for your review! I'm actually torn between buying tab s3, the samsung book, and the note 8. I've been using medibang to make short manga with my tab A and s pen. I own a surface 3 with the pen, but frankly, I'm better off using my tab A in my artwork because medibang gets annoyingly laggy under a windows platform. Any tips on which one of the three I should buy? Thanks!
I'm not too sure how good the Samsung Galaxy Book is because I've not used it. Medibang is very usable on Tab S3. The only downside is the screen is only 9.7-inches. As for which to buy. If you already have a computer, get the Tab S3.
Teoh Yi Chie Yeah,I figured it's better to upgrade my android tablet than buying another windows tablet. Thanks for the tip!
Hello Teoh! Great review! I am in the market to buy a tablet and am wondering which would be best in your opinion. I'm looking for high quality and for one that would be used for professional art work. Any help would be appreciated!!
Currently, I think the best is Samsung Tab S3 or iPad Pro.
If you need a main computer, then perhaps Lenovo Miix 510 but the pen is not as accurate as the Tab S3 or iPad --- as in there's jitter when drawing diagonal lines.
Thanks! I don't need a main computer. I'm looking for a tablet that can do the most and produce the best art work. Would you choose one over the other when it comes to the Tab S3 or iPad? Do you think one is better for art work?
+Jessica Gaudette I think at 9.7 inches, Samsung has the advantage because the price includes S Pen, and there is option for expandable storage (that you can use in future when you upgrade). I like large screens, so i will go for iPad Pro 12.9
Please add Clower Paint to list of applications that you test. Clower Paint is one of the most professional drawing app for Android. By the way great review!
Thanks. Will add that to the list in the future.
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.
Wonderful review! Thank you so much for being so helpful :)
+Quirkney Thanks 😉
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.
Teoh Yi Thank you so much appreciate it. I am New to your Channel and definitely enjoyed Thanks for sharing Deb 👍
+Debra Dukes Thanks 😀
Teoh Yi Chie Very Welcome👍
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.
I can see the pixels they are so pretty.
By the way, what about camera? Is pictures good taken in low light areas?
Have you encountered any problems since this review? I'm kinda worried about the screen since it's an AMOLED screen, have you encountered any screen burn-ins during your use of the device? Great unique review by the way.
I haven't seen any burn in on the Tab s3 yet. The usual areas of burn in would be around areas where the image is static. e.g. time, date, icons that don't move. If you're always using your tablet, burn-in risk is low, except for the time and date area. It will take a long time, hours, for a static image to burn in. If you're rotating your tablet to change view, such as to view RUclips, then the time and date will also move.
PS: I've burn-in on my LCD phone though, but not the Tab S3
Teoh Yi Chie Okay, thank you for the tips and info, and sorry to hear about your LCD phone having screen burn-ins. I thought screen burn-ins on LCD screens was very rare or it never happens to LCD, but thanks again.
I though LCD screens are resistant to burn in too. Maybe phone LCDs are worse in quality.
Hm an ipad pro 10.5 is 2 times more expensive than a tab s3 here in my country, will I lose too much on drawing potential if I go for a s3, considering the money value
I was testing both this product and Ipad pro with apple pencil, and I would definitely choose ipad pro. ( I'm a student and my major is painting and drawing )
nickdziwny I appreciate the feedback,but would you care to explain why?in what ways is the iPad pro better than the s3?I'm in the hunt of a good tablet or convertible ans thé drawing feature as well as note taking is vert important to me
Well It just feels more natural, faster and more responsive + good tilt of pen ( which s3 don't have ) with Ipad Pro + Apple Pencil.
Also I prefer IOS programs for drawing like procreate for example, it's very good software for digital art making.
S3 might be good for some and don't get me wrong it's good device ( I think samsung is one of the best for android ) but S3 pen is not more responsive than Apple Pencil.
For me Apple Pencil was more comfortable to hold on to also when I was testing s3 it had some weird lag and it wasn't working that well.
When Apple Pencil was doing lines exactly where I wanted them to be S3 pencil did not.
Also I think price for the S3 is too much with what It have to offer now.
If it was much cheaper than Ipad Pro than maybe I would consider to buy it instead of Ipad Pro.
I also think Teoh Yi Chie did very good video on showing those two devices.
Hope my opinion on this help you somehow and sorry for any mistakes in English.
My first tablet was the Motorola xoom 2 and then skip to note 10.1 but it was a disappointment that I had a defect that distorted vertical lines of what should be, I finally returned it and hesitate to re-trust Samsung but Probe Note 10.1 2014 32g and I really liked his performance to draw. Until now none of the other tablets of Samsung with stylus had surpassed this model until I see that at last the Tap S3 has characteristics that over pass note 10.1 2014. I draw a lot for works, the chance is justified to this tablet, or i wait to another version of another year?
There really isn't much downside to this tablet so it's a safe buy. I doubt next model will be significantly better, unless they have a larger and more comfortable S Pen.
Does the pressure sensitivity work with LayerPaint HD and Painter as well? I know you've tested the Lenovo Yoga Book as well, does that one work well with LayerPaint HD and Painter in regards to lag and pressure sensitivity? Which of the tablets do you prefer, the Samsung or the Lenovo?
Pressure works with LayerPaint HD and Painter.
Drawing on the screen feels more intuitive. Lenovo Yoga Book is more accurate when it comes to taking notes.
Thank you so much for answering. I'm more into drawing and painting, so the Galaxy would be a better choice then. Thanks for the great reviews you always do from an artist point of view. Very helpful.
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.
Thanks for the review, you're very insightful about the so often overlooked art capabilities of tablets and phones. I love painting on my Note 4. Could you please tell me how much the battery discharges when turned off and with airplane mode on? (I don't plan the use the tablet much for watching internet content but I'd like it to be ready as quick as possible whenever I want to do a drawing session) An overnight test would be cool but just 1 hour would be enough. Thank you :].
+clipfilmix Battery life is good. When in sleep mode with WiFi on, it discharges 4% in 9 hours.
+clipfilmix It can go into sleep mode probably for almost 2 weeks and still have some battery life left.
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).
Great job, I'm thinking of getting one
Have fun drawing on it
Would you put this in place of iPad pro for arts and general tasks like studying amd annotations? Iny opinion the S pen interface is more intuitive and productive than apple pencil however the Ipad pro ios is more shiny lookimg tjan android in general.
Love your reviews thank you.
+Mohammad Shawqy I think this is as capable. There are also many useful apps. IOS does look and feel more polished. But functionality should be very similar. What you want to do on iOS you can probably do on Android, and vice versa with minor differences. Check out my iPad Pro vs Tab S3 review ruclips.net/video/2yzVoqJ5ft0/видео.html
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.
what tablet would you recommend for a beginner?
*ABOBE*
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.
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.
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.
Between Samsung galaxy tab S3 and iPad 2018, which one is better for drawing?
Since the prices of both are very similar now, iPad 2018 is the better choice. My review for that iPad is here ruclips.net/video/BaRKrlnYrG4/видео.html
Nice review, thanks. Ordering my tablet now. :D
+druuzil Have fun with it 😁
Best review in S3. Thx
I know what i want for christmas!! 😀😀😉😉
I just bought this for christmas!!
Denise Marquez same!!!
I subscribed for you
Because you are very nice show us iPads apps
programmes how are work, thank you so much
But please I need to know about the pencil hazard
and I don't know how I can charge it and start to use it
and about another kinds of pencils as well.
Thank you again, you are very good .
+Holy Jonson S Pen does not need charging.
Just wondering is it good for editing photos?
For drawing i find this tablet quite nice, the app Medibang is really nice. However i find the tablet overall quite slow, scrolling pages like the google play store or the internet is painfull, is it just me? And the battery is melting so fast that i doubt i wouldn't reconsider taking it away from the desk...Could you confirm that it's not just me?
Also, Medibang usually stops at some point, then somehow "restart" (the page goes small, i have to resize it), i believe the memory has reached its limit, does that happen to you too?
I don't really have that issue. It's as fast as day one. Maybe try a factory reset in the worse case scenario.
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
many thanks for the review with medibang, i was waiting for something like this, still searching for the book with clip studio, im planning an update from galaxy tab A, and a cintiq is not an option so im between those 2 DX
Good review, now I know what to look for on black friday :D
Still good in 2020?
What would be best to get around 200/300euro price range used and/or new?!
It's alright but for that budget see if you can get an iPad 6 or iPad 7 with Apple Pencil
Hi! I'm taking Chinese lessons and I would like to quit paper for a numeric support. In your opinion, would the tab s3 be good enough to write Chinese or do I shall buy the iPad pro? Thank you!
If it is just for writing, Tab S3 is good enough. Do compare the price with iPad 2018 and Apple Pencil. If the iPad is cheaper, get that because it is better. There is no need to get iPad Pro.
Teoh Yi Chie thank you so much for the answer!
Another great review thanks.
Nice video !!!👍👍👍
Is it better to do higher resolution Artwork... 150 to 200 dpi...
Is it good for heavier digital artwork files ?
Bonjour Théo ! Hello I have a samsung tab with s Pen to draw. I would like to know if it is worth buying samsung s3. Merci pour vos vidéos
+Why Not ? I'm not sure if there is going to be any significant difference. I have not used the previous Samsung Tab before. If you are no satisfied with your old tablet, then it may be worth an upgrade.
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.
nice review...are u reviewing Samsung galaxy book 12 and 10 ?!
+Ahmed champion I'll see if I can get a review unit somehow
