And thank god for that, it was even a huge problem on the Note models and I was ecstatic to see them introduce that feature because some drawing apps actually let you map the pen button to things like Undo, etc. but it was useless because the button would undo AND bring up a dumb menu.

Great tablet for basically everything. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS I bought it specifically for art, and that 4k screen is really fantastic for it! Also has LOUD audio, even tho the speakers aren't in necessarily prime locations it really projects!You do need to get a case for this bad boy IMMEDIATLY though as it doesn't come with one.Battery life is really good! Standby time us FANTASTIC. This guy can go about a week on standby and be just fine. The screen is massive so the longer you have the screen on, brightness especially, it will effect battery life. I am very happy with it though!One thing that I didn't consider is that since the screen resolution is so high, viewing ticktocks/ reading webtoons can be slightly blurry. There is no way to turn down resolution either, so it just be like that.Would still judge this bad boi at 10/10 for my first tablet. I've had it 3 months now and its not shown any evidence of "slowing down" or anything. Love it!
I suggest you should include using artflow and infinite painter on your drawing test, because lots of android drawing artist uses that app and they want to see how does this new android tablets perform. Just a suggestion, I love really love and appreciates all of your videos. Cheers!
Great review, I’ve just bought the Galaxy Note 10+ and am looking forward to drawing on it as well as all the other functions. I really like the look of the Galaxy Tab’s but I use a 12.9 inch iPad pro2 from 2017 I think it was and love the size.

Very good video my friend, and very impressive drawings. I use my Tablet more for notes and documents as I show in my videos, but might try drawing on it after watching your video. Keep up the good work
I upgraded from Note9 to Note10+ and just picked up the Tab S6 256 gb with 8gb of ram. My kids took over my Tab S4 and destroyed the keyboard so that's how I ended up with the S6. I'm not an artist, but I do write a fair amount everyday and sketch rough charts since I'm a full time trader. I'm able to have my notes live on home screen widgets alongside all my other informative widgets. When I update a note, it adds to an overall work book which I can PDF or create other automated processes. It's really one of the main reasons I haven't gone back to iOS after switching to the Note 1 from iphone 4S. I have been able to write notes for a really long time on my phone and I still can't do what I did on my Note 1 on today's current iPhones. When Apple decides to go against the ghost of Steve Jobs regarding a stylus with a phone...I might reconsider a switch.

The wobble you talk about is often referred to as "Jelly Scroll" and is presently a product of the type of technology used in these AMOLED displays. You should find that there is no wobble (jelly scroll) in the tablet is used in the landscape orientation.
I noticed it on Ipad pro too (not AMOLED), even if it's far less noticeable, I guess it's a combination of display technology, pixel's refreshing strategy (landscape, portrait) ,number of pixels and display's frequency. Both have almost the same definition but the ipad pro is 120hz and tab S6 only 60hz so it might explain why it's so noticeable on S6 (and S4 who has basically the same display). The funny thing about that is that on a lower range tablet as the tab A I didn't noticed it.
I am new on this channel, I just wanted to say thanks for the timestamps at the beginning of the Video. I dont need another review, I just wanted to know more about the drawing features. so THX.

I bought the Galaxy Tab S6 before I saw this video but this video would have definitely convinced me. Thanks for including the different apps available on Android. I'm still praying we get Clip Studio Paint for Android.
Great review as always, Teoh. I have an iPad Pro but I think that the Galaxy Tab S6 is such a good deal, and at a way better price. I would love to own both if the chance arose. I think that for my main, the iPad still takes the cake for the app support and I think it just looks more premium. But the Tab S6 truly is a good tablet, has great HDR, amazing speakers, and the AMOLED screen on it is gorgeous for media consumption.
MESSAGE TO SAMSUNG: I hate ipadOS. I despise Apple. I love my Samsung phone. Despite this, I have an ipad pro because it has a 120hz refresh rate and extremely quick response time (no visible lag) on pen strokes in apps like Infinite Painter and Procreate. Until you release a premium tablet (high refresh rate, no stroke lag, hardware dedicated to graphics) and customizable S-pen button commands that does not skimp on art-specific functionality, millions of ipad users like myself will never switch. As soon as you guys release a tablet that can compete with the ipad pro on graphics power and response time, I'll make the jump to Samsung and not look back. You now have a 120hz phone coming out with the S20 line, which I'll be buying (I have an S9+ now). Don't cut corners on your next tablet for artists. Beat or match the ipad pro.
I'm an Apple fanboy, but I will choose the Tab S6, cheaper and almost the same performance, plus it comes with an S Pen. I'm quickly turning into a Samsung user, ever since I got my 1st Samsung device (the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 from 2016 which cost me around $200). This tablet made me realize how much better Android is... and the sad part is I talked so much trash about Samsung/Android all my life, without ever using their devices. I'm pretty sure the S6 must be better than my 8 GB Tab A. I've endured using a 8 GB tablet for almost 4 years, which is a pain in the a**, cause I can't download apps, pics, vids, etc. I can barely do anything... not even play games, because I'm usually with around 300 MB storage, which makes everything slower... It's time for me to upgrade from 8 GB to a S6 with 128 GB. But a 8 GB Galaxy Tab A, still made me fall in love with Samsung. Sorry iPad/Apple, I don't think I'm going back to you in a while. This is karma for me, for criticizing Samsung way too much lol
IBIS is outdated in many features. Brushes an be barely customizable. UI is outdated, not ergonomic. The only thing thats good for the app is it can be run on older devices that have weaker processors and less ram.
Hi Teoh, Thanks for all of your clips. Questions for you: I still draw by hand structural, mechanical details on grid line papers. I draw house floor plans, concrete footings with rebars, wood frame, roof, stairs, steel components, screws, bolts, washers ....with precise engineering details ... in full scale. Never had a tablet with pen like you have. What kind of tablet do I buy, Samsung Tab 6 or iPad Pro? What app in their tablets do I use to draw straight lines? On the papers, I always use ruler, protractor, rubber... How can I scale an object in exact scale, e.g. 1:1 full scale, 1:2 half scale, 1:10 a ten times smaller? Do I need to use a physical ruler to draw on the glass surface on the tablet? How do the Architects use their tablet? What app do the Architects use to draw floor plans, house elevations? How do the Architects draw srraight lines in exact scale 1:20; 1;50; 1:5 etc. for printing out later to constructio drawings, blueprints? Thank you!
Not too sure about architecture drawings. With Procreate app on iPad, they have the shortcut to draw straight lines so you don't need a ruler for that. As for scaling, I don't know how architects handle that so I can't say much. There are also vector programs on iPad for those who need precision.
Thank you for review, Very big question, i have problem to choose tablet for drawing. Problem is all windows tablet with stylus get hot and fan work all time. You use many tablets and question is what is most cold tablet you ever use ?
Hey there, I used Surface Pros and Books - they got extremely hot and loud at times. I switched to an iPad Pro 11" and have been extremely happy :) I chose the 64gb version, because of iPadOSs external storage support + iCloud is really cheap!
the Surface Pro 6 i5 doesn't have a fan in it at all and can run full Photoshop. I think that's part of the reason--running full, workstation-grade software and a full operating system just requires a lot more power. Of course, the other part is that modern iterations of ARM chips were developed for smartphones, so battery life, and therefore power consumption, and therefore heat, were prioritized in a way that a desktop-class CPU architecture like x86 weren't. But having both the iPad Pro (2 of them) and the Surface Pro, it isn't really a comparison. The Tabs get a lot closer to something productive, but in the end, they're both devices designed to be luxury Netflix viewers and e-mail readers, with a little productivity thrown in to justify it to the consumer. In the real world of professional graphics, almost no one is using them. Most everyone just uses a mouse and keyboard to begin with, with the holdouts using Wacom pads over Windows or (somewhat less likely) MacOS. Even though I have a Surface Pro, it's exclusively for the road. In the office, I wouldn't dream of using one of these low-powered devices. I've got an enormous midtower workstation that's dozens of times more powerful and saves me time. I can't imagine how long it'll take to do something like a smart sharpen on a Tab or an iPad Pro in full Photoshop (when it comes to iPad at some point in the future) compared to the 20 seconds it can take on a huge render on an 8-core hyperthreaded CPU, 64gb of RAM and a Titan X. That doesn't mean I don't like my iPad Pro. Not at all, so much so I bought a second one. But I've tried using them for work and they always end up falling back to where they were designed to be, which is watching movies on a plane or in bed, in which case, they're terrific. When Apple says "Pro," I've learned they mean "luxury." This isn't like the "Power" moniker in the G3/G4/G5 days when the devices were really intended to be used as workstations.
I got this tab a week ago. The screen is noticeably darker in the bottom left corner, then becomes brighter in the top right corner. Is anyone else having this issue?
I dont saw this in your video but a small tip for those who dont want to charge you pen at this time and dont want to put it on the table and see this gap that occurs due to the protruding pencil - there is an additional magnet on the right side of the tablet (where you can insert your flash card). it doesnt chage s-pen but you can just place it there. I found this very convenient
One app you might want to look into is LayerPaint HD. It's very similar to Medibang Paint and even saves to the same MDP format - I'm not sure if there's a formal relationship between the two - but it doesn't have nearly as many quirks, stability issues, and autosaving works fine. It also has a scalable UI which makes working in portrait mode a bit more plausible. I, too, would also be interested to know how Linux on DeX fares on things like GIMP or Krita. It's rather niche functionality which people seldom cover with the thoroughness you do.
Despite my overall enjoyment with the Galaxy Tab S4 particularly the S Pen, I had to return the device and go back to iPad Pro as the Samsung didn't have the power and ram to handle the resolution and layers I needed for Autodesk Sketchbook. Anyone know if the S6 improved specs address this?
@@teohyc My last project was in the 6000px x 8000px range but that is larger than what I normally deal with. The 2017 iPad Pro handled that size flawlessly with 20 + layers while the S4 couldn't open it at all. I like to draw in at least a 4K size for large scale printing capability. The Samsung S4 could handle that size but I was confined to about 7 or 8 layers tops. When I inquired with Autodesk tech support they said it was a hardware limitation and Samsung people said it was a software limitation.....(I'm shocked)
@@cornerofthemoon Weird, drawing size and layer count should not directly dictate RAM requirements, unless the application is programmed in a very simple manner and allocetes the maximum memory a drawing & layer might ever need. It should be possible to optimize quite a bit based on what part if thebdrawing & layers is actually been touched, which layers are hidden, which are visible (you migh cache those to a single blended layer in RAM), etc. But it could be autodesk programmers are so used to desktop machines with tens of GB of RAM that they are not able to do such optimizations.
Hi Teoh -- are you aware of any "paper like" screen protectors that work for the Samsung tablets? I have a Samsung Tab A 10.1 inch and I have a difficult time finding a textured screen cover.
Isn't there a way to turn off air command in the settings? I have pre ordered an S6 and am looking forward to getting it. I am "upgrading" from a Note 10.1 2014, which I was able to turn off air command when the button is pressed, which allows me to press the button in ArtFlow Studio to erase. In infinite Painter, pressing the button, switches between pen and eraser
@@teohyc Googled it myself, looks like it is a feature they removed from the tablet starting with the Tab S3. not sure why, because it is definitely nice drawing on my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Tablet and pressing the button without bringing the air commands.
@@M4rtinK it does, but it can be worked around. I turned the air command feature back on and Artflow Studio did fine with holding the button to erase without opening air command. Infinite Painter I just had to Long press the button to go between Pen and Eraser. Not a entire deal breaker LOL
I bought an iPad Pro instead , but i wish android company step up to the game someday. I love google and their products. The biggest downside for me in iOS is it didn’t support google lens. And also Siri sucks as compare to okay google. That being said with ios13, they made iPad like a mini computer tough. For sketching nothing beats Procreate, but if they can make photoshop full version to support in android tablets it will be a game changer.
Hi all.. I am looking for the ruler option on the Samsung S6 tab like the one which is there on ipads. My underlines are going all over the place. Is the option there or not?
I really dislike Apple products I know they’re very high tech but I would prefer to have something that lasts more than six months without intentionally being lagged down so I have to give them more money.
I'm an Apple fanboy, but prefer Samsung tablets because they last long, like 4-5 years and still work fine. Plus are cheaper and come with an S Pen, so easy choice. I feel like Apple devices get slower/laggy so quick and with every iOS update. But still love iPhones over Samsung phones.
Hi I am thinking of getting a refinished S3 or new S6 for my 10 year old daughter for her drawing. What's your recommendation for a 10 year old kid who started to enjoy drawing.
I recommend the Tab S6 Lite (pen included) instead of the more expensive Tab S6. Either that or the iPad 10.2 inch with Apple Pencil. Or check Apple refurbished store www.apple.com/shop/refurbished
Is there is pen only mode? I want to disable it from reading palm or fingers and only respond to the pen. I am left handed and a lot of apps put controls on the left. I really need to know this.
Hi Teoh, I just bought Samsung Notebook 9 Pro which comes with Win10, 16 Ram, intel i7, dockable s-pen, etc. It can run full photoshop as well as function as a tablet bc it has 360-degree hinge. I used to have Microsoft Surface Pro but will never go back to it for the last 2 years I have bought these Samsung Notebook Pros. It has 10hr battery life bc I have the large 15" screen but you can get the little 13.3" screen for longer time lasting. Personally I don 't like the battery version of the s-pen so I am using an artist one made by Wacom but I also have the Staedtler pencil you showed. Give it a try!
That circle/icon can be moved, but if you click the side button accidentally, it still calls up the menu. Anyway, Samsung has updated their OS and Air Command and that icon can be turned off permanently.
@@teohyc OMG I JUST SAW YOUR TOP COMMENT IM SO SORRY. btw my comment wasnt a mean one (I meant how you read it) maybe you read it in a mean kinda way ITS TOTALLY NOT. sawryyyy🤣🤣🤣
would you recommend this if for example i would connect it with an app on my PC (example: use Paint Tool Sai via Windows screen share app), or do you think that a dedicated pen tablet for PC would be better?
Not sure if Windows screen share will work. There are some apps that allow screen share but I've not tried those so I can't say much. Anyway, my general advise is to buy based on the software you want to use. If you want to use Paint Tool Sai, just get a pen display.
@@MiroslavPodstavek On 100% Ipad pro. In my opinion nothing can equal with tablet from Cupertino. 120 hz screen make a job, and Apple pencil was also very considered. New ipadOS is convenient to use. But is very gently, you can buy new which could be band. I'm sorry for my language, but I've just started study English
Hey, I'm an advanced artist and just wanted to ask something. Can you also use the S6 Tab Lite for high quality drawings? Or is it a lot better to buy the S6? I hope you could answer. Nice review btw!
Thank you! I have been looking for a review on drawing with galaxy s6! Yours is very useful! Thanks again. Can you please tell me if galaxy s6 Lite has the same drawing features? Can you make a review on it please? Thanks a lot!
The Jelly Effect (wobble) is still apparent when scrolling up and down reading web articles. Does it bother you personally or was it bad enough to dampen your enjoyment? Is the effect only during web browsing or it's everywhere? ... I actually already bought this S6 online and it is on its way to me but discovering the wobbly effect is really ;/
Thanks for this in-depth review. I’m considering getting this tablet, mainly for office work with the occasional sketching (hobby). Will the parallax error be an issue if I apply a tempered glass screen protector?
Ipads give you access to more apps used for art. The apple pencil is also really good in many ways as you may know, from pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, shortcut buttons and more that I cant really think of at the moment The tab s6 is also great. It's more affordable, and while not having as many apps as the ipad, you really only need one app, and there are some Good apps out there, like medibang, Autodesk sketchbook, artflow, and a few others. Honestly, for better quality, go for apple. For Affordability and frankly more accessibility, go for the s6.
Check my response below. IMHO the Samsung is a "safer" buy long term. FYI Samsung Pen (wacom) offers much better pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, shortcut buttons than the AP.
@@Figuremakr samsung pen is not better than apple pencil, both are in equal level. The only thing better in samsung is software integration where you can transform image to text and other
@@aliefr2984 The most noticeable difference is usually the Samsung has better IAF, and it has hover detection. The Apple Pencil tilt function does a greater range than Samsung, but that might vary from app to app. It is possible the Apple Pencil works fine for most needs, others have found the Microsoft N-Trig pen to meet their needs too. Never the less Wacom EMR is the industry standard and the best in responsiveness, customizablity, ergonomics and simplicity. The Samsung sPen is based upon licensed Wacom EMR tech. The subtle thing is that the Samsung Pen (Wacm EMR) simply works as expected. Just pick up the pen and use it on the device, no sync, charging etc. Those who have used any other pen variations tend to notice sooner than someone who has only used traditional media, as to them, the Samsung Pen will work as they will expect.
Still the 256 GB variant seems to be so far very rare - I even talked to a person in the local (Czech Republic) Samsung store and he confirmed only the 128 GB versions (wifi & lte) are going to be officially available here, not the 256 GB.
@@M4rtinK I'm hoping to acquire the 256GB WiFi variant myself. That's unfortunate but if you want the 256GB version, I imagine you could try purchasing it online?
@@elvintp10 That would be an option, but I'm afraid it would make any possible in-warranty repairs harder. Also the extra 2 GB of RAM could be useful in my case likely for Linux on Dex, but with that initiative apprently in limbo it might not be that important now. So will likley just get the 128 GB/6 GB LTE variant soon via licak distribution channels from a reputable local eshop.
Samsung has finally added the setting to remove Air Command! April 2020.

I think that for my main, the iPad still takes the cake for the app support and I think it just looks more premium. But the Tab S6 truly is a good tablet, has great HDR, amazing speakers, and the AMOLED screen on it is gorgeous for media consumption.
Thank you so much for this review! it was very helpful
You can attach the pen aside the tablet it has magnets there too
Thx for reviewing it :)
Been waiting since release 👍
Thumbs up for the timestamp!
Thank you for the review!
Very good review, useful from the Point of View of the real use
MESSAGE TO SAMSUNG: I hate ipadOS. I despise Apple. I love my Samsung phone. Despite this, I have an ipad pro because it has a 120hz refresh rate and extremely quick response time (no visible lag) on pen strokes in apps like Infinite Painter and Procreate. Until you release a premium tablet (high refresh rate, no stroke lag, hardware dedicated to graphics) and customizable S-pen button commands that does not skimp on art-specific functionality, millions of ipad users like myself will never switch.
As soon as you guys release a tablet that can compete with the ipad pro on graphics power and response time, I'll make the jump to Samsung and not look back. You now have a 120hz phone coming out with the S20 line, which I'll be buying (I have an S9+ now). Don't cut corners on your next tablet for artists. Beat or match the ipad pro.
I'm an Apple fanboy, but I will choose the Tab S6, cheaper and almost the same performance, plus it comes with an S Pen. I'm quickly turning into a Samsung user, ever since I got my 1st Samsung device (the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 from 2016 which cost me around $200). This tablet made me realize how much better Android is... and the sad part is I talked so much trash about Samsung/Android all my life, without ever using their devices.
I'm pretty sure the S6 must be better than my 8 GB Tab A. I've endured using a 8 GB tablet for almost 4 years, which is a pain in the a**, cause I can't download apps, pics, vids, etc. I can barely do anything... not even play games, because I'm usually with around 300 MB storage, which makes everything slower... It's time for me to upgrade from 8 GB to a S6 with 128 GB.
But a 8 GB Galaxy Tab A, still made me fall in love with Samsung. Sorry iPad/Apple, I don't think I'm going back to you in a while. This is karma for me, for criticizing Samsung way too much lol
@sunshine sunshine nah, losers use anything that is not Apple or Android, both are great, but now I prefer Android/Samsung.
Galaxy Tab S7 is 120 Hz
Wow, the first time left-handers don’t get destroyed by accidentally touching a ‘page’ with their hands!
iBis PaintX on android has that double finger undo feature
Thanks, good to know. :)
My favorite drawing application to use on Android. :)
Ibis Paint is one of the best drawing option
It's one of best drawing apps on Android
IBIS is outdated in many features.
Brushes an be barely customizable.
UI is outdated, not ergonomic.
The only thing thats good for the app is it can be run on older devices that have weaker processors and less ram.
Hi Teoh, Thanks for all of your clips. Questions for you: I still draw by hand structural, mechanical details on grid line papers. I draw house floor plans, concrete footings with rebars, wood frame, roof, stairs, steel components, screws, bolts, washers ....with precise engineering details ... in full scale. Never had a tablet with pen like you have. What kind of tablet do I buy, Samsung Tab 6 or iPad Pro? What app in their tablets do I use to draw straight lines? On the papers, I always use ruler, protractor, rubber... How can I scale an object in exact scale, e.g. 1:1 full scale, 1:2 half scale, 1:10 a ten times smaller? Do I need to use a physical ruler to draw on the glass surface on the tablet? How do the Architects use their tablet? What app do the Architects use to draw floor plans, house elevations? How do the Architects draw srraight lines in exact scale 1:20; 1;50; 1:5 etc. for printing out later to constructio drawings, blueprints? Thank you!
Not too sure about architecture drawings. With Procreate app on iPad, they have the shortcut to draw straight lines so you don't need a ruler for that. As for scaling, I don't know how architects handle that so I can't say much. There are also vector programs on iPad for those who need precision.
Thank you, I think I am going to buy this tab ☺️
Nice review. Nice you showed that older pens are possible to use as well. Enjoyed.
When u were drawing, and the picture was zooming out far... Is that just because of the app or because the it being a fault in both s6 and s4?
It’s probably the app since other drawing apps don’t have this problem
Its because of the app. I have the same Problem with it
Thank you for review, Very big question, i have problem to choose tablet for drawing. Problem is all windows tablet with stylus get hot and fan work all time. You use many tablets and question is what is most cold tablet you ever use ?
Hey there, I used Surface Pros and Books - they got extremely hot and loud at times.
I switched to an iPad Pro 11" and have been extremely happy :)
I chose the 64gb version, because of iPadOSs external storage support + iCloud is really cheap!
I have a surface and a tab S3, the tab never really gets warm. Id imagine the s6 would be the same
Tab S 4 doesn't get warm and has no fan. I imagine the Galaxy Tab S6 would be much better than the Tab S4.
the Surface Pro 6 i5 doesn't have a fan in it at all and can run full Photoshop. I think that's part of the reason--running full, workstation-grade software and a full operating system just requires a lot more power. Of course, the other part is that modern iterations of ARM chips were developed for smartphones, so battery life, and therefore power consumption, and therefore heat, were prioritized in a way that a desktop-class CPU architecture like x86 weren't.
But having both the iPad Pro (2 of them) and the Surface Pro, it isn't really a comparison. The Tabs get a lot closer to something productive, but in the end, they're both devices designed to be luxury Netflix viewers and e-mail readers, with a little productivity thrown in to justify it to the consumer. In the real world of professional graphics, almost no one is using them. Most everyone just uses a mouse and keyboard to begin with, with the holdouts using Wacom pads over Windows or (somewhat less likely) MacOS.
Even though I have a Surface Pro, it's exclusively for the road. In the office, I wouldn't dream of using one of these low-powered devices. I've got an enormous midtower workstation that's dozens of times more powerful and saves me time. I can't imagine how long it'll take to do something like a smart sharpen on a Tab or an iPad Pro in full Photoshop (when it comes to iPad at some point in the future) compared to the 20 seconds it can take on a huge render on an 8-core hyperthreaded CPU, 64gb of RAM and a Titan X.
That doesn't mean I don't like my iPad Pro. Not at all, so much so I bought a second one. But I've tried using them for work and they always end up falling back to where they were designed to be, which is watching movies on a plane or in bed, in which case, they're terrific. When Apple says "Pro," I've learned they mean "luxury." This isn't like the "Power" moniker in the G3/G4/G5 days when the devices were really intended to be used as workstations.
IPad pro + procreate app is everything you need. Even if you hate Apple and ios
I got this tab a week ago. The screen is noticeably darker in the bottom left corner, then becomes brighter in the top right corner. Is anyone else having this issue?
I've always been pretty bad at art, this tablet is awesome to practice. I really bought it for the display mainly though
Can you scribble notes onto a PDF file like you could write note on a real paper document? Example company documents or company manuals.
I’m sure you can if you find the app that’s capable to do so
thanks for the review!
I dont saw this in your video but a small tip for those who dont want to charge you pen at this time and dont want to put it on the table and see this gap that occurs due to the protruding pencil - there is an additional magnet on the right side of the tablet (where you can insert your flash card). it doesnt chage s-pen but you can just place it there. I found this very convenient
Thanks, very excellent review
Welcome :-)
Very informative video. Thank you.
Watching from tab s6 😘😍
I just love the Tablet.
I'm genuinely interested.. what would be the equivalent of an app like procreate but through android? Any fellow artists out here?
Currently using ibis paint X and Medibang paint.
@@eponine_draws8719 Thank you, I'll try both
Artflow and infinite painter
Try them
One app you might want to look into is LayerPaint HD. It's very similar to Medibang Paint and even saves to the same MDP format - I'm not sure if there's a formal relationship between the two - but it doesn't have nearly as many quirks, stability issues, and autosaving works fine. It also has a scalable UI which makes working in portrait mode a bit more plausible.
I, too, would also be interested to know how Linux on DeX fares on things like GIMP or Krita. It's rather niche functionality which people seldom cover with the thoroughness you do.
Despite my overall enjoyment with the Galaxy Tab S4 particularly the S Pen, I had to return the device and go back to iPad Pro as the Samsung didn't have the power and ram to handle the resolution and layers I needed for Autodesk Sketchbook. Anyone know if the S6 improved specs address this?
How many layers do you use? And what is your resolution, file size?
@@teohyc My last project was in the 6000px x 8000px range but that is larger than what I normally deal with. The 2017 iPad Pro handled that size flawlessly with 20 + layers while the S4 couldn't open it at all. I like to draw in at least a 4K size for large scale printing capability. The Samsung S4 could handle that size but I was confined to about 7 or 8 layers tops. When I inquired with Autodesk tech support they said it was a hardware limitation and Samsung people said it was a software limitation.....(I'm shocked)
@@cornerofthemoon Weird, drawing size and layer count should not directly dictate RAM requirements, unless the application is programmed in a very simple manner and allocetes the maximum memory a drawing & layer might ever need. It should be possible to optimize quite a bit based on what part if thebdrawing & layers is actually been touched, which layers are hidden, which are visible (you migh cache those to a single blended layer in RAM), etc. But it could be autodesk programmers are so used to desktop machines with tens of GB of RAM that they are not able to do such optimizations.
Just so you know you do have the ability to attach the S Pen to the side instead of the back of the tablet, but please note that it won't that way.
It won't charge, but you don't need to charge it unless you do want the bluetooth features. Otherwise it works fine.
I had no idea lol thanks for that.
5:37 What's the name of the app? Do I need to download the app here or is it on that tablet from production?
That’s Wacom Bamboo Paper. I recommend Concepts instead
@@teohyc thanks! 😀
I never use mine for drawing so I wasn't sure what it could do (as far as drawing, etc). Thanks for this video!
How are you both good and bad at drawing???
Hi Teoh -- are you aware of any "paper like" screen protectors that work for the Samsung tablets? I have a Samsung Tab A 10.1 inch and I have a difficult time finding a textured screen cover.
Just look for matte screen protector. Don’t spend too much. They are all pretty similar
Isn't there a way to turn off air command in the settings? I have pre ordered an S6 and am looking forward to getting it. I am "upgrading" from a Note 10.1 2014, which I was able to turn off air command when the button is pressed, which allows me to press the button in ArtFlow Studio to erase. In infinite Painter, pressing the button, switches between pen and eraser
Also interested in this - having the button available for drawing & getting ridd of the annoying miss clicks would be useful.
I wasn't able to find it, even with Google search. How did you do it with yours?
@@teohyc Googled it myself, looks like it is a feature they removed from the tablet starting with the Tab S3. not sure why, because it is definitely nice drawing on my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Tablet and pressing the button without bringing the air commands.
@@ericborc Ouch, that sounds like serious usability regression...
@@M4rtinK it does, but it can be worked around. I turned the air command feature back on and Artflow Studio did fine with holding the button to erase without opening air command. Infinite Painter I just had to Long press the button to go between Pen and Eraser. Not a entire deal breaker LOL
Wow good video and ı like your drawing🤗
I bought an iPad Pro instead , but i wish android company step up to the game someday. I love google and their products. The biggest downside for me in iOS is it didn’t support google lens. And also Siri sucks as compare to okay google. That being said with ios13, they made iPad like a mini computer tough. For sketching nothing beats Procreate, but if they can make photoshop full version to support in android tablets it will be a game changer.
Agreed. Fucking hate Apple company, can't wait the moment Android will produce a decent replacement
Hi all.. I am looking for the ruler option on the Samsung S6 tab like the one which is there on ipads. My underlines are going all over the place. Is the option there or not?
I still wont go back to ipad 🙄
Why?
@@MohammedHassan-ft2ym expensive and needs corrupting updates
I really dislike Apple products
I know they’re very high tech but I would prefer to have something that lasts more than six months without intentionally being lagged down so I have to give them more money.
@@mirabechtolt559 I didn't even realize I wrote this reply 😐
I'm an Apple fanboy, but prefer Samsung tablets because they last long, like 4-5 years and still work fine. Plus are cheaper and come with an S Pen, so easy choice.
I feel like Apple devices get slower/laggy so quick and with every iOS update. But still love iPhones over Samsung phones.
Hi
I am thinking of getting a refinished S3 or new S6 for my 10 year old daughter for her drawing. What's your recommendation for a 10 year old kid who started to enjoy drawing.
I recommend the Tab S6 Lite (pen included) instead of the more expensive Tab S6. Either that or the iPad 10.2 inch with Apple Pencil. Or check Apple refurbished store www.apple.com/shop/refurbished
@@teohyc thanks!
Is there is pen only mode? I want to disable it from reading palm or fingers and only respond to the pen. I am left handed and a lot of apps put controls on the left. I really need to know this.
Very helpful thanks.
Hi Teoh, I just bought Samsung Notebook 9 Pro which comes with Win10, 16 Ram, intel i7, dockable s-pen, etc. It can run full photoshop as well as function as a tablet bc it has 360-degree hinge. I used to have Microsoft Surface Pro but will never go back to it for the last 2 years I have bought these Samsung Notebook Pros. It has 10hr battery life bc I have the large 15" screen but you can get the little 13.3" screen for longer time lasting. Personally I don 't like the battery version of the s-pen so I am using an artist one made by Wacom but I also have the Staedtler pencil you showed. Give it a try!
Thanks for sharing your experience
6:12 he does realise that he can move the little circle on the other side right?
That circle/icon can be moved, but if you click the side button accidentally, it still calls up the menu. Anyway, Samsung has updated their OS and Air Command and that icon can be turned off permanently.
@@teohyc OMG I JUST SAW YOUR TOP COMMENT IM SO SORRY. btw my comment wasnt a mean one (I meant how you read it) maybe you read it in a mean kinda way ITS TOTALLY NOT. sawryyyy🤣🤣🤣
Please make a review on samsung galaxt tab s6 lite please!
would you recommend this if for example i would connect it with an app on my PC (example: use Paint Tool Sai via Windows screen share app), or do you think that a dedicated pen tablet for PC would be better?
Not sure if Windows screen share will work. There are some apps that allow screen share but I've not tried those so I can't say much.
Anyway, my general advise is to buy based on the software you want to use.
If you want to use Paint Tool Sai, just get a pen display.
Great video. I was wondering between new galaxy tab and iPad pro 2018 to buy, but now my decicsion becomes easier.
and what is your selection?
@@MiroslavPodstavek On 100% Ipad pro. In my opinion nothing can equal with tablet from Cupertino. 120 hz screen make a job, and Apple pencil was also very considered. New ipadOS is convenient to use. But is very gently, you can buy new which could be band. I'm sorry for my language, but I've just started study English
고마워요. 리뷰 잘 봤어요. 이번에 아주 삼성에서 잘 나왔네요. s-pen도 기본으로 제공해 주네요. GOOD!!
Hi Teoh can you make a video explaining how tbe layers works in digital art? 🙏
Good idea
thank you very much Teoh... why don't you try (Infinite painter) as a drawing app? I think it's an excellent one
Love my s5e
Alsome review very good keep up the good work
Hey, I'm an advanced artist and just wanted to ask something.
Can you also use the S6 Tab Lite for high quality drawings? Or is it a lot better to buy the S6?
I hope you could answer. Nice review btw!
They have similar drawing performance so you can go with either
@@teohyc I see. Thank you for answering, it helped me a lot! Have a great day!
Thanks for the video, good content. Would a paperlike or other screen protector allow more conrtrol for drawing?
Any matte screen protector will do. Just search Amazon for reviews.
Thank you! I have been looking for a review on drawing with galaxy s6! Yours is very useful! Thanks again. Can you please tell me if galaxy s6 Lite has the same drawing features? Can you make a review on it please? Thanks a lot!
I'll review that soon.
@@teohyc Thank you very much!
Can you try Ibis paint? Has the double tap option for android has much options, I use it on phone but I wanna see how it works on a tablet...
How does the parallax compare to display screen drawing tablet?
There's no gap to speak off. It's just the thickness of the glass, then the display. It's a laminated screen
If the S pen's battery runs out, does it keep typing?
S Pen does not need battery to work
S6 is too small they have to make a 11or 12 inch and change the screen to 120.hz i think it will sell much more
6:35 Turn on Dex mode and that issue will be gone. I use ibis Paint C and I mostly open it during Dex mode. It just feels more natural.
*ibis paint X
Hey , which do you think would be better for graphic animation. The Samsung galaxy tab s6 or the huion kamvas pro 13?
Huion because you have access to all the animation software that runs on desktop (Windows or Mac).
Ill still keep my tab s4 which is working fine with sd 835 still smooth to use.. probably wait for tab s7..
Is there going to b a s7 tablet next year? Like the next samsung phone they are already talking about it b4 the note 10 get out ?
I have tab s4 for art and use infinite painter but iPads are better
Damnnnnn..ipad is so fcuking smooth.no lagging at all
Can be used as a drawing tablet for windows?. I mean that the tablet works just as a touchscreen monitor .
It can but you need an app to mirror what your computer shows. I don’t know of any app that can do a good job
love your videos man.
hello I wanted to know how many hertz is this tablet i have 6 go
and
I have 6 go of ram
Real artists know how much better the Procreate app & Apple Pencil are
Although I don't like apple, I'd have to agree with you
Apple logic: money > customer
The Jelly Effect (wobble) is still apparent when scrolling up and down reading web articles. Does it bother you personally or was it bad enough to dampen your enjoyment? Is the effect only during web browsing or it's everywhere? ... I actually already bought this S6 online and it is on its way to me but discovering the wobbly effect is really ;/
I've to scroll slowly to avoid the jelly effect
Can you rest your hand on the screen whilst drawing??
Your review was great, thank you. Could you please recommend similar products? To compare prices and performance :)
Currently Xiaomi Pad 5 has great value for money
Thanks for this in-depth review. I’m considering getting this tablet, mainly for office work with the occasional sketching (hobby).
Will the parallax error be an issue if I apply a tempered glass screen protector?
Glass screen protector is thin. It may add slight parallax. If you get a flip case, there's not much reasons to get a glass screen protector.
Teoh Yi Chie ok thank you! :)
Have you reviewed using the staedtler noris pen? I heard that it could be an alternative for artists as well.
Review's here ruclips.net/video/ytwFKJK5vAo/видео.html
Hey teoh yi chie
I had a question
Why should we consider tablet for drawing and not a laptop or pc along with a art pad
If you want to use computer software, then get a screen-less tablet. Otherwise you can get either for drawing.
Thanks for the review! I am thinking of buying either an S6 or an S4 for drawing. What do you think would be better?
For drawing they have the same performance
Finally, what i've been waiting for, before deciding the ipad pro 2018 or tab s6
Ipads give you access to more apps used for art. The apple pencil is also really good in many ways as you may know, from pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, shortcut buttons and more that I cant really think of at the moment
The tab s6 is also great. It's more affordable, and while not having as many apps as the ipad, you really only need one app, and there are some Good apps out there, like medibang, Autodesk sketchbook, artflow, and a few others.
Honestly, for better quality, go for apple. For Affordability and frankly more accessibility, go for the s6.
Check my response below. IMHO the Samsung is a "safer" buy long term. FYI Samsung Pen (wacom) offers much better pressure sensitivity, palm rejection, shortcut buttons than the AP.
@@Figuremakr samsung pen is not better than apple pencil, both are in equal level. The only thing better in samsung is software integration where you can transform image to text and other
@@aliefr2984 The most noticeable difference is usually the Samsung has better IAF, and it has hover detection. The Apple Pencil tilt function does a greater range than Samsung, but that might vary from app to app.
It is possible the Apple Pencil works fine for most needs, others have found the Microsoft N-Trig pen to meet their needs too. Never the less Wacom EMR is the industry standard and the best in responsiveness, customizablity, ergonomics and simplicity. The Samsung sPen is based upon licensed Wacom EMR tech.
The subtle thing is that the Samsung Pen (Wacm EMR) simply works as expected. Just pick up the pen and use it on the device, no sync, charging etc. Those who have used any other pen variations tend to notice sooner than someone who has only used traditional media, as to them, the Samsung Pen will work as they will expect.
For people who has no budget problem, I think its better to choose ipad pro.
Do you think this is comparable to the 2017 ipad pro 10.5 inch?
Apple Pencil will be slightly more accurate. But it really comes down to the apps you want to use, and whether you want to be in Apple's ecosystem.
@@teohyc Thank you very much. You are genuinely one of the best reviewers on this website. Keep up the good work, my friend. 😎👍
Hi! Hace you tested s7+? I'm looking if it worth the price over s6. Whay do you think?
I've reviewed that. I recommend the small Tab S7 instead because it has much better battery life. ruclips.net/video/bsKL0qYV-aw/видео.html
I believe the 256GB variant is an option for both the WiFi and LTE models. I've seen it on Samsung's official website.
Still the 256 GB variant seems to be so far very rare - I even talked to a person in the local (Czech Republic) Samsung store and he confirmed only the 128 GB versions (wifi & lte) are going to be officially available here, not the 256 GB.
@@M4rtinK I'm hoping to acquire the 256GB WiFi variant myself. That's unfortunate but if you want the 256GB version, I imagine you could try purchasing it online?
I have 2 Tab S3 (one wifi the other LTE) I am going to wait for the 256GB/8GB/LTE model later this year. prices are bound to go down too.
@@elvintp10 That would be an option, but I'm afraid it would make any possible in-warranty repairs harder. Also the extra 2 GB of RAM could be useful in my case likely for Linux on Dex, but with that initiative apprently in limbo it might not be that important now. So will likley just get the 128 GB/6 GB LTE variant soon via licak distribution channels from a reputable local eshop.
@@M4rtinK Ah, that is an important point to consider. Hope you enjoy using yours. Hoping to get one soon myself.
