Another 40+ min video?! Who watches long videos like this?
We do. And I really waited for your review. It's so practical and comprehensive for artists and designers. Thanks for this! 😃
My favorite section is Line test. Your reviews are like x-ray. I love it.

As long as you put the timestamps for people to skip quickly through, it's OK.

I finally got Xiaomi Smart Pen 2. As a beginner in digital art I was very pleased by pen's performance. It behaves pretty good, but in some programs you definitely need to adjust stabilization to make smooth and clean lines. I have a lot of experience with traditional materials, but drawing on a tablet is something very unusual but also pretty fun 😅
Can you please tell me which app he is using to draw here? I'm getting my pad delivered in 2 days - thanks
@@BLADE_PLASMASure) Well, the picture on this video's thumbnail was made with a program called Infinite Paint.
But Teoh also tested such drawing programs in his video:
1) Clip Studio Paint (i personally use it the most)
2) Medibang Paint
3) Krita
From where did you get the pen? I am not getting it
@@sukalyanplays566 From our ukrainian chain of stores "Allo" , it cost me approximately 110 dollars, or 4000 UAH.
Pen link to buy?
thanks for the video! I've been really waiting for you🎉
this is such a comprehensive and in depth review ! i love it. imo if ur a beginner artist, and you have no other devices to compare this to, you d be happily content with this tablet
Yay finally! I been waiting for you to review this
This is a great review that helped me choose a tablet pc. Thank you.
Thank you for the time and best effort to share these informations to us artist ❤❤👊👊👊🔥🔥🔥
looks decent. i will have try it first myself. i like to believe its just "bad" for people with better devices and can be a blessing for those who dont.
Im starting on digital art and its good for me, honestly I havent got this kind of jittering while using inifinite painter. Theres some latency too, dont mind it that much
@@MichelSebastian8 im using ibis paint. its butter smooth for me. no jittering and latency in my experience. battery life for both pen and tab is fantastic.
I think it just isn't there yet. The line jitter/wobble alone is hard to accept, no matter what the cause is. Maybe the pen still needs some times for development.
A Samsung Tab S6 Lite 2022 will provide a better drawing experience for about the same price with pen included. If on sale - much less!
I agree with you. I was almost sold for this tablet, until i came to know about the line jitter thing. Because, I primarily want a tablet for precise drawing experience.
Just the fact that you have to buy the pen for 99 is bad. It's a shame, the tablet is quite good but not for 400 bucks. Maybe 300 would've been the best price for this.
@@EnterpriseKnight In the video Teoh said the pen is US$50-60. It isn't as good as the Apple pencil or a Samsung S-pen. Maybe there will be someone come out and make an excellent tablet and stylus for drawing, but for now, Samsung Tab S still reign in both price and quality.
Honestly it’s better than 1st gen, the line is more taper… I’m drawing using Infinite Painter and their brush have stabilizer setting so it’s not a big problem to me 😂
@@NB_nobodyyou can change that I've watched another yt channel he was able to do it
Fire vid my man! I'm getting mine tomorrow
Did you purchased?
@@oxosoxo_ yep
Great review. glad to see someone doing a review while actually drawing.
I'm on the fence between Xiaomi Pad 6, the Lenovo Tab P11 pro 2nd Gen, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8. Looks like I can get the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro 2nd gen right now for crazy cheap because of their sale plus Rakuten 15% cash back.
Will be using mainly for media consumption so I don't have to use my phone and then also to do some drawing.
Thanks for your effort! You just saved me. I'm considering using it at my serious travel art station since it has a really good spec with good price.But if the pen isn't as good as s pen I afraid I would be annoyed. Maybe I should buy something else..
If you have limited budget,possible options are iPad 9, iPad 10, Samsung Tab S6 Lite, Samsung Tab S7 FE, OnePlus Pad.
@@teohontech7141Samsung Tab S6 Lite drawing have an insane lag.
Great video ty sir
hi thanks for your contribution, i really watch your videos just before i buy. How was the line quality using artflow mate? Artflow and concepts is what i use to create.
Thank you!
Awww. I hope they can fix those problems with updates/pen firmware updates.
Thanks for the video...
This video has been very informative for me about the stylus. I got my Mi Pad 6 8/128GB for $280 during global intro release but didn't buy the pen. And now I'm planning to get the pen for casual drawing and saw this video. I guess a basic capacitive pen would suffice for now and wait for sale.
for drawing purposes (and im hoping to get the best experience from it) and some gaming, entertainment, could you suggest should i get an ipad mini 6 or mi pad 6, since im also in a tight budget?
thank you man
Thank you for this great review. I have question: if i use other stylus like noris digital original instead of xiaomi pencil 2, does this help to resolve all drawing issues you talked about?
This tablet only works with Xiaomi pen
I think slight movement you mentioned for xiaomi pen is for the pressure sensor
Thanks!!!
good review
Which better for drawing xaiomi pad 6 or oneplus pad for pen style??
Very detailed review, can I also ask if this tab supports SuperDisplay app? I'm planning to use it as a graphics tablet for my pc.
It does, but there will be latency with wifi and cable connection
In terms of drawing and note taking performance, which would you recommend, the Xiaomi Pad 6 or the Oneplus Pad?
Hi.i like your video.csn you review realme pad also? Thanks
Many thanks for all your videos !
I want to buy a tablet for my daughter who wants to use it to draw : do you think the new Lenovo tab P12 can be a good choice (it has a huge 12.6" size and a pen for 380€). The problem could be the refresh rate (only 60hh) isn't it ?
60Hz is standard and is alright. I have not tested the Lenovo tab P12 before so I cannot say much about the pen performance.
You can see my review for another Lenovo tablet here ruclips.net/video/cajJsASoLWY/видео.html
22:00 I'm a bit confused, so is the Xiaomi Pad 6 compatible with the Samsung S pen? Or not at all?
Is there a compatible smart pen that works well with this tablet for drawing and writing? Thanks!
Is this tablet compatible with the spen? ¿Could also be compatible with a pen from a cheap wacom tablet?
thx!
Hi hi, have you tried your staedtler noris jumbo with this tablet? And if you have, how did you like it/do you prefer it over the mi pen? Thanks!
Only Xiaomi Smart Pen will work with this tablet.
What kind drawing apps do you use
can you do a tutorial for your drawing. looks amazing. i would love to learn
It’s actually just very simple line and flat colour style with the app Concepts. ruclips.net/video/pMV6COZ34ws/видео.html
hi, please try to connect the tablet to your computer as a second screen and display Photoshop on it and show how it works, thanks for your video
hi Im am just new with the drawing or graphic art thing can you give me advise which app I can use for a beginner like me? thank you so much!
Infinite Painter, Sketchbook, Concepts, Krita, Clip Studio Paint
Nice update, bro I want to write notes using this, do u think it's a good one copying notes compare to Apple ipad
This works well for taking notes
@@teohontech7141 thanks for the quick response, also how is the latency while writing notes, is it quick enough like ordinary pen on paper or does it lag please
@@shekhar3796There is latency, but it's low latency that doesn't really affect note taking. See this video for demo ruclips.net/video/h6LVYo7p4lc/видео.html
@@teohontech7141 thanks
Which one would you recommend more - Xiaomi Pad 6 or OnePlus Tab (mainly for net browsing/youtube and very casual drawing)? I can get them for simillar price.
Maybe the oneplus pad since the screen is larger
Can you leave a link to the pen to buy, please?😊
Hey, what screen protector can you recommend for writing/drawing with the smart pen?
Nowadays I don't use screen protectors. I just use flip case. But I guess if you really want than get a matte screen protector but don't spend more than USD 10-15.
Thank you for the review, Does this tab support Adobe softwares ? (Photoshop, Illustrator, Aftereffects, etc.?)
No
@@teohontech7141 thanks a lot for responding
Will the Xiaomi pen gen 2 nib wear off using papertouch screen protector or matte ones? Will the apple tip covers fit the Xiaomi pen gen 2?
Just buy replacement tips from AliExpress
Hi theo, great video.. I'm thinking of buying a tablet like that for my drawings or the huion kamvas 13, I'm on a tight budget so ipad pro is out of the question . I would mainly use the device in creating tshirts designs mainly anime characters with some text in it, I'm current using intious pro m via photoshop but I can only use that device in my office work , unfortunayely can't bring it at home. Would device would you recommend.. budget is 300 400 usd
If you're looking for something you can bring around, there's Xiaomi Pad 6, Samsung Tab S6 Lite (2022), Samsung Tab S7 FE.
If you don't need portability and you can buy from Amazon US, the UGEE U1600 is just USD 160 now and that's a good pen display. amzn.to/3RgIedi
@@teohontech7141 thanks brother
@@teohontech7141 one more question please. Ugee or huion kamvas?
@@Fascinating10 They both kinda have the same drawing performance. Huion has more features. But if you want a no-frills very affordable pen display, Ugee is good
Do you think the new pen is an upgrade over the 1st gen and do you think the benefits will carry over when connected with the pad 5. I've been having some connectivity issues with the 1st gen pen
Just slight upgrade. Not sure if it’s worth the money for the upgrade
First of all, thanks for the review. I have a question for you Which one is better ipad Air M1 chip or Xiaomi Pad 6? Like for the Over all performance n all. Please guide
M2 has the best benchmark and performance. But it doesn’t matter unless you use apps that make full use of all the power. I recommend you choose the tablet based on the apps you use instead.
I'm a graphic art student. I'm debating whether to get Galaxy Tab S6 LITE or Mi Pad 6. As far as I know, they're comparable in terms of screen resolution and storage, but from an artistic standpoint, I want to know which works best in your opinion.
I'm asking the same thing
Mi pad had larger display then s6 lite. Ill choose pad 6 here instead of s6 lite. S6 lite more better in writing consumption. But really it depends on your compatibility on a dvice.
Get ipad ,better software 😂
Bro, any cheaper alternative for buying the pen 🖊️ for this, i mean any other compatable alternative stylus for Xiaomi pad 6 please
I don't think there are other alternatives to this pen. Anyway, from AliExpress it is USD 50-60 and that is not too expensive.
Hii! Can you help to decide on what to get? This or Sam Tab S9 FE? thank youuu
Xiaomi has better hardware. Samsung has better pen and OS
In my Xiaomi pad 6. Can't grant permission to add images from Gallery. In medibang paint app. 😢😢 Any solve?
Did you tested the pad 6 max already?
Thanks... Can I use sumsong pen for xiaomi tablet and is it better for writing?
Only Xiaomi pen works with Xiaomi
Hi, how is the pen now? Has there been any updates that fixes any of the issues said in the video?
I no longer have this tablet to test anymore
Thank you. Which program are you using?
Concepts
Can you review the new Xiamoi pad 6 max.
Can we use stabilizer in krita to fix the problem.
What would you recommend samsung s9 fe , xiaomi 6 or xiaomi 6 pro ? For notes , drawing, and just for living? Camera quality also important.
If you draw often, Samsung is good. Otherwise get Xiaomi which is cheaper, not the Pro version because normal Xiaomi Pad 6 is good enough
Would you recommend this tab for academic needs and smooth note taking experience? Please share the your view i am in dire need?
For note taking it works fine. No issue
Yes it's the best for student on budget
Hi! I am going in med universitity this year, so I decided to buy the tablet for note taking. What to choose, xiaomi pad 6 or samsung tab s9 FE?
Maybe s9 FE since it is newer, overall a better tablet too.
Can this be fixed with any app or anythin? Same has with p11 gen2 pro
Was there any comparation with huawei matepad 11 ?
Can i know what tempered paper you use
Hi May I know what apps you used to draw? Thank you
Medibang Paint, Concepts, Infinite Painter
Hi, is there any better stylus pen compatible for this tablet?
Some alternative?
Only xiaomi pen works
@@teohontech7141
Thanks.
hi, may i ask what app do you using in your xiaomi pad?
Concepts and Medibang Paint
I own a pad 6, Kindly please tell me what apps you're using for drawing 🤔
Medibang Paint, Infinite Painter, Concepts
Bro have you use alight motion Pro in Xiaomi pad 6
I purchased this tablet a few days ago for studying and note-taking. But I also want to draw with it, what drawing app works best with this tablet?
Medibang Paint, Infinite Painter, Concepts
Is it good for note taking and study as compared to s 6 lite
Great review! But I'm still in doubt between Samsung S9 and Xiaomi pad 6 pro, let's not consider price or extra cost with accessories - consider that I can get one tablet with the pen, which would be better to choose focusing in drawing and note taking experiences?
Of course you have to consider the price. So many YT reviewers recommend products as if people are loaded with cash.
For drawing, get Samsung for better pen performance.
For writing you can get either. Actually get Xiaomi because it is much cheaper. And not the Pro version (more expensive) unless you play many graphics intensive games.
@@teohontech7141 One thing I really like on your reviews is that you do consider the costs also and most part of the public are not loaded with money, just in my question I disposed the cost issue because in my country after some new import laws the difference today would be minimum so I really would care only in performance and drawing experience, thanks a lot ❤️
@22:05 Did you use samsung S pen on redmi pad 6 to compare it with xiaomi pen ? if that so, Shall I buy a samsung S spen instead of xiaomi pen ? I will be using only Microsoft one note app for taking notes, coz I'm comfortable with one notes only, My purpose is to just highlight the text, add some text in pdf. NO DRAWING purpose
Samsung pen does not work on Xiaomi tablet
should i get ipad 9 256gb (second) or mi pad 6 256gb + smart pen? because in here the price is not that far
fyi i mainly draw on desktop with pen display, so i wanna buy tablet when i'm outside the house
i have samsung a8 2019 with s pen but i don't think it'll cover what i do now, because the internal storage is only 32gb, 8 inch of screen, and the pen is not that good either
I feel like the Xiaomi is more worth the money because the iPad 9 is a very old tablet release in 2021 using the specs from 2020.
The Apple Pencil will have better drawing performance. And that's main thing the iPad is better than the Xiaomi. If you use graphic design apps that need typography, layout or vector, get the iPad.
See this video for more demonstration on the drawing quality of Xiaomi
ruclips.net/video/qQqZYybbWb8/видео.html
@@teohontech7141 i usually designing on desktop using photoshop, so i don't really need design apps on my tablet, i just need tablet good enough for drawing and gaming (sometimes)
did you say you can use samsung s pen on xiaomi pad 6?
Well as a genshin impact player I can surely say if you can sacrifice everything just to play this game then go for Ipad 9th gen ( I bought Xioami pad 6 because I use mod apks which cant be done on ios software)
💀
Can you tell me what is the best app you use for drawing??
Infinite Painter, Medibang, Clip Studio, Sketchbook, Krita, Concepts
Which would you recommend between tab s6 lite and xiomi pad 6 for study and note taking.
Xiaomi Pad 6 has much better specs
@@teohontech7141 for note taking is Xiaomi pad 6 okay?
Do you think Xiaomi Pad 6 is better than surface pro 9? or surface pro9 is better? I read some tests, and I think when you talk about pen in tablet, Sumsung is the best, then apple and microsoft. other Android tablet can't compare to those three, is this right?
Surface Pro runs on Windows and is more versatile, but way more expensive. Drawing performance is good but I enjoy drawing more on Samsung and Apple
@@teohontech7141 So purely from a performance perspective, is it better than other Android tablets outside of Samsung? I heard that the hardware performance of the surface slim pen is on the same level as Apple, better than other Android tablets using active capacitive pen technology (Android tablets outside of Samsung)
@@teohontech7141 basically I know Surface slim pen is not as good as Spen, and because of software, apple pencil might be better, but is suface slim pen better than other tablet pen? like Xiaomi and OnePlus.
I can't make a decision between the Samsung Tab S9 Plus FE and this Xiaomi Pad 6. For drawing, which one will be the better buy?
For drawing, go with Samsung
Hi! Can tab s7 fe handle multiple layers? I do art commissions and stuff on a daily basis, and my layers can sometimes go upto 40+ layers. I usually work on 1770x2006 px with 300dpi. Do you think it will lag?? Can it handle heavy drawings? Can it also handle large brush sizes??
I no longer have that tablet to test so I can't say for sure. But 1770 x 2006 isn't considered to be a high resolution file so it should be alright.
Can you please revisit this tablet with another pen which might work better . Or is this depend on tablet itself ?
Only Xiaomi Smart Pen works with this tablet
could you please check the new hyper os update this tablet got
I need exactly this thing and searching this kind of detailed review on past 3 months!!! And also i have a doubt if the stylus is the issue can i buy any other stylus for this tablet?! It will be helpful If u sugget it!!
I don't think there are other stylus that can work with this tablet
Considering budget constraint, which one would you recommend for note-taking?
Important aspect I am looking is least latency.
The note taking performance of this tablet is quite good. See this video
ruclips.net/video/h6LVYo7p4lc/видео.html
If you need something even cheaper, then it has to be the Samsung Tab S6 Lite (2022)
@@teohontech7141which app did you use to draw in the beginning? Thanks
which pad is good for notetaking?? ipad 9th gen or xiaomi pad 6???
Both are good
hey i was looking to buy this pad... was worried if i will be able to run sketchup or autocad on this tab. wondering if i should get it
If you mean Sketchup from the web browser, yes. But there's no Sketchup and Autocad app from Google Play Store.
Is this budget tablet useful for architectural drawings? Please tell me or make a another video.... I don't have much money to buy iPad or Samsung tablet
It should work fine except for the drawing limitation mentioned in the video
Out of xaomi pad6, Samsung s9 fe, onplus which one is best for note making for students.
Will be grateful, if you answer.
They are all good for note taking
So we need to use protected glass , will it disturb drawing experience?
Not sure about whether tempered glass will affect pen performance. You can get those thinner ones which is good enough to prevent scratches
what's the life of that nib? Is there any alternative for this pen?
*what do you recommend for note taking - Tab s9 fe or Mi pad 6 ???*
For note taking just get xiaomi because it is much cheaper
@@teohontech7141 It doesn't matter if it's cheap, because in my country s9 fe cheaper. I need quality for note taking and studying. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
what samsung tablet did you use for comparison here? thanks
Tab S9 Ultra
On pdf annotations does palm rejection work fully?
Yes
What app did you use for the drawing ?

I m a newbie in digital art. I used to draw traditionally on paper. Can you tell me what apps I should use???

Is there a Xiaomi stylus that fits all Xiaomi devices?
what is that drawing app your using?
i got pen v2 for pad 6.. but my pad is pad 5.. they dont go along so well..
😅😅 its hard to draw
and much of the time at around 5 mins, the pen started to stop working,,, even in their native software notes... this has been my problem.. and not even their updates fixed this.. probably i need to change tablet now
any fix on this issues?
Apps I use are Concepts, Medibang, Infinite Painter.
Regarding Bluetooth disconnection, are you using a magnet case? If so try without magnet case to see if connection is better.
Or it could be xiaomi has bad pen
Is it possible for you try the second generation pen on the Xiaomi Pad 5? As I am looking into buying the pen and it is announced that the second gen pen will work on the older generation Pad 5 but there are still no reliable review that can validate the performance of the stylus on the last gen tablet 😅
Pen 2 works normal on Pad 5 (need to use last update OS)
