I bought this tablet when it was released exactly a year ago.
What I like:
- Can be used by an android ( but I don't use it since I find the screen small, I use a 27 inch and 21 inch monitors).
- 8000 levels of pressure sensitivity
- 8 shortcuts buttons that work pretty good
- the pen weighs nicely
- 10x6 to size which is really good for the price (70$ with shipping and taxes a year ago, I think it's 60-50 with shipping and taxes now, which is even cheaper).
- Not only it's good for beginners, but also good for professionals too.
- The two shortcuts on the pen are placed nicely and they are easily reachable
- you get around 10-8 extra nibs that are durable as hell (I still use the one that came with the pen and I don't think I am gonna replace it anytime soon since it still doing greatly. I am not even sure if I'm gonna be alive to use all the nibs while I am still alive)
-You can assign different shortcuts for each application.
Cons:
- The shortcuts sometimes are useless since 8 buttons are not enough. I prefer to use keyboard for shortcuts now.
- You can't see the shortcuts buttons in the dark. I solved it by buying stickers that light in the dark and put it on the buttons.
I wish I have a wacom tablet just to test the quality differences, if it even exists.
Thanks for the detailed comment!
Thanks for your information
@@huonggianghuynh206 No problem!
This tablet actually have more advantages but I forgot to mention them. If you're planning to get a tablet, just get this one and it will easily last +5 years and each nip will work perfectly for 2 years (it depends on how much art you make and pressure sensitivity. If you make the tablet sensitive in the settings, the nibs will surely last more). Also you get 3 gloves (I did get 3 gloves but I think it's a mistake ;) ) which means you will have spare gloves over the years along with the 9 nibs you get. All of this with 8k pressure sensitivity and 10x6 inch size and 8 hotkeys for 70$ (including shipping for me)???
I would consider this tablet the best budget tablet ever in terms of longevity and quality.
Oh and did I mention the tablet's program? you can assign different shortcuts for each program with re-assigning it everytime. I use photoshop and blender and krita, I like to have different shortcuts for each program.
@@rahulv8882 Are you talking to me or to the channel's owner?
@@salehodinie6615 both!
As a beginner, I was very new to this kind of thing. A few friends recommended this to me. It's outstanding, 5/5.
Awesome! And yeah it's great!!!
aint it just amazing when the tablet comes with a glove lol
Yes it is! :D
@@ImadAwan 👍🏻
That’s what I said when u got it
I mean when I got it

The sword opening the box wouldve been more fun and more samurai-ish but thats a really good review
I wish I could do that but, I recorded that footage long after I unboxed the tablet ;)
This drawing tablet is really really good I own the same tablet it's actually the first drawing tablet that I owned and I've been using it for a weeks now and I can say that I'm really satisfied as a beginner and practising digital drawing definitely recommended it it's worth a shot 👍👍
Yess! Absolutely! :) Thanks for sharing!
Can trace drawing by this
Does it lag when you switch b/w tools and in general? I've heard that from quite a lot of users and it's the only thing holding me back from buying this
@@shraddhadudeja5909 work's so well to me no lag maybe just the software they use? I try different drawing software such as clip studio, medibang, paint tool sai and photoshop and it's working so well
@@vincentaguilar7011Ahh okay great, thank you!
I've been using this tablet and there are no complaints so far, it gets sh*t done , the packaging is awesome too. And it comes with extra nibs, been using only 1 nib for about 5-6 months (4H/day)with a bit of wear. I can already sense it's gonna be with me for years as a secondary after I buy a screen tab.
Yeah I still use it from time to time; it's great! :)
I actually have this tablet! It's my first and Im still currently using it. If you get used with it enough it feels like second nature already. Sometimes I don't even feel like I need to rush in buying a screen tablet. This one pretty much does it. Like the experienced artists always said it's not about the gear, the tablet or the other expensive artist materials it's all about the artists skill and finesse.
Absolutely! Well said!
hello friend I hope you answer me, a year ago your comment and I wanted to know
Did your pencil tips last?
There are many people who say that there are no spare parts for the pencil.
Can you make animation with this?
You don't *need* a screen tablet. This one is much better in terms of ergonomics and the feel of the pen. Much better to work with a tablet that has no display since it won't cause any neck/back problems long term.
For someone that lives in a third world country this is really cool for a "cheap" price bcs even this is quite expensive in my country. For now I've been drawing only on my phone with a rubber pen so getting one of these in the future would help me alot, thank you for the great review brother!
Where do you live then? And how much this tablet cost there
I live in UK and it cost 50£ which isn't that expensive for good quality
It costs 90€ here , it's hella expensive just like every other graphics tablet
It’s a 100$ here in India
Try the disc stylus it works way better than the rubber one 💯
I live in india and i dont think kt can be called cheap
I started to draw since i was like 5 or something but i started digital drawing 4 years ago and i used a small wacom intuos, i felt like it was to small for me and because of your review I decided to buy the xp deco 01 v2 and i loved it, thank u.
When you review it in an honest way, it really feels much more better
Bought one like a month ago.
Best thing ever.
I dont draw or so, i was just looking for an alternative to a mouse because all my wrist and fingers were hurting from clicking so much.
Anyways, this has helped me a lot. I can say it doesnt hurt anymore.
Plus, i'm into pretty note taking and well, with the right program and some config, i can take advantage in what i like too.
And yes, i downloaded Krita and other programs to practice drawing 😅
💕
👌🏼
Awesome! Have fun creating stuff! :)
Bro just now i saw yours video about "compositing tips in Photoshop" and the blending option tip was really helpful thank you very much
Thanks bunches friend! Glad to be of help!!
THAT DRAWING IS SO SICKK!!! awesome work!!!
Thank you so much!!
Yesterday, i bought it's brother, xp pen deco pro small. I am new in digital painting. So far so good.
Great!! May it serve you well! Have fun drawing!
Does it lag when you switch b/w tools and in general? I've heard that from quite a lot of users and it's the only thing holding me back from buying this
@@shraddhadudeja5909 sorry, b/w tools?
@@dwihusnawan7324 Like when you use the button on the pen to switch from pen tool to eraser or vice versa?
@@shraddhadudeja5909 in this case, I didn't find that problem
after watching a few review and reading the comments, im very set on buying this now! It seems amazing for its price ^^ I really cant wat to get my first drawing tablet after years of drawing on my phone and ipad with only my finger and medibang paint 😂
Awesome! Don't forget to use my promo code for a discount! :)
So how is the tablet?
I literally bought it yesterday and received today.....i know nothing about pen tablets as i am a very beginner but it feels good to draw with and to look at ( I mean, it is pretty clean looking tablet ). Great review btw, i agree with everything you said.
That's great! May this tablet serve you well! ;)
It is been three months since your comment. Do you regret buying it? I've read numerous comments about lagging and bug issues (freezes after 20 minutes of work, drivers are malicious and they often times don't work, it scratches easly etc.)
7 months now...
thank you for the review! i needed to replace my tablet, and i decided to try getting this one after checking out a few other tablets. the explanation on the functions was really helpful, ive never had a tablet with tilt support before and it seems awesome
I've been using this Graphic tablet since 1 week now i made few Illustrations with it and posted on my Instagram I've tagged you also but you've not seen yet , and the Graphic tablet is just awesome , & thanks for showing this sir i am having a great time while Illustrating with it 🥺💜💙
What computer you are using? Mine doesnt work perfectly like I did with wacom. It jitters and jumping around tiny bit when I move to menus in Photoshop. And I cant drag scrolling bar perfectly.
Hey, you've probably noticed these by now but I need to make sure. The pen stand can be opened and there are places to put the nibs inside, and it's made in a way that you can lay your pen on it as if it was on a table which is possibly why the pen doesn't firmly stand on it
Anyways it was funny when you clenches your fist in the glove XD you YEETed the quick guide
"instead of standing the pen id rather not stand the pen"
lmfao im dead
I can't stand that the standing pen doesn't stand on the stand.
DIS SOMEONE ACTUALLY SAID "STAND"?!😳
Never knew Pakistanis are making such amazing and helpful content!!! Keep it up.
Thanks a ton!
hi, remember me? I'm finally ordering the tablet it'll be here by Thursday :)
For me drawing without this protector is much better. I like that smoothness and specific sound
I got my xpen deco pad yesterday!!!
It's larger then I expected and works just fine for me!(m a beginner 😅)
Also thank you for the coupon!
Yay! That's awesome! Have fun painting! Feel free to show me what you made! :)

Can u comment that is it works on Samsung galaxy M11...plz plz..its urgent

Glad it was helpful!
I really loved your review. Short and to the point, it really helps
Glad it was helpful!
Imad, Thanks for that very informative, I shall now purchase one, once again thank you.
Keep rockin', above all: STAY SAFE. Gus. UK
Thank you so much! I am so glad to be of help! Have fun drawing!
Thanks Imad! Very helpful. I am going to start my PhD and this device is exactly what I was looking for to make annotations on the fly. Definitely saved me from a big investment on iPad so I have you to thank for that!
I just bought it and waiting for it to come, I'll update after I trying it. Thank you so much for the video!💖
How is it?
@@krisssdakillerrr7004 it was beyond my expectations, I'm very happy😆
At first I thought "What we gonna do with all those buttons?" but it wasn't like I imagined. I use most of the buttons and they REALLY help. The texture sheet is also really good but there's something that I really want to say. The texture of the tablet itself feels like it can be eroded easily but IT'S NOT and feels really good (and somehow soft) while drawing, it is an amazing tablet compared to it's price. I highly recommend it.
@@meimikadzuki7149 :3, cómo te va con la tableta en estos tiempos?
first time i see a review of something that i want to convince me to buy and i subscribe to the chanel because the explanation was fun and professional.
This is my new graphic tablet now, one more subscriber.
Is this tablet good?
Been checking drawing tabs for the past week and you release this video 💪😁
Hope you like it!! :)
@@ImadAwan yeah bruh this fits in my budget 👍🏽🔥
i spent over half a year trying to save up for the Deco 01 and i even entered an art competition just so i could claim the prize money which was £25 and i won. I still hadnt saved up enough cuz i had to and i mean had to get that kneaded eraser so i bought it. And finally after such a long journey i have finally saved up enough to buy the Deco 01 and ill be ordering it soon possibly feb 14th cuz of certain issues. BUT OMG ITS BEEN SO LONG AND IM SO HAPPY AND BLESSED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Amazing! Have fun painting! :)
@@ImadAwan :O its the one and only. Thanks!
Just got mine in the mail. Thanks for the recommendation!!
Hope you enjoy it!! :)

@@shraddhadudeja5909 it has a few times but not enough for me to be thrown off by it. I'm just starting out so it's better than going all out on a super sophisticated piece that I won't know how to use. I've enjoyed using it this far. Way better than using my mouse.
@@sighlus Ahh okay. Thank you!
Looks interesting, I bought Huion 1060 plus half year ago as my first tablet. Works great but I feel like it would be more comfortable if it was a little bit smaller
Interesting!!! I’ve never used a Huion! I’d love to test it out as well :)
i have the 1161, i believe its even larger, and i love the size, its better for your wrist as it prevents carpal tunnel syndrome
Can we connect this Tablet with Sketchbook in mac ?
It is very useful, light, effecient and easy to use with best results, I'm new in digital painting and I was confused what to buy...an advanced display tablet or simple easy and cheap graphic tablet, I found this XP-PEN in electronics shop, I buaght it and I am so happy to have. Best luck for XP-PEN Co. and users. it's price is just $70.
Thanks so much for the review. I got this for Xmas and I'm looking forward to experimenting with what it can do!
Just ordered the tablet because of this video and your other amazing videos, thank you for inspiring me to start drawing!
Hello !! did you get the tablet yet? if so, how is it working out? i've been thinking about getting this
@@freshsliceoflemon283 Yeah I got it, its been fantastic, I got a friend that own a wacom tablet that was over and said its just as good. The setup wasnt hard either and for the express buttons I got seperate keybinds for each software like corel painter, photoshop, krita etc. I've been using the tablet daily both for sculpting in 3D and drawing and I have noticed no problems just joy. Its a huge difference going from mouse to tablet. Feel free to ask if u have any other question :)
D., Thank you for the quick response ^^!!
is this a tablet you would recommend? I have been drawing on my Iphone 8 for a year now ((it's 138.4mm tall and 67.3mm wide)), and have been using an Iphone 7 before that before it broke.
Hope if I'm not bothering you
@@freshsliceoflemon283 Oh wow, yeah you will notice a big difference going from a phone to a tablet, I'll highly recommend this tablet. With the discount code from the description below video it was almost a steal :) no problem
@@SwordsInRock Does it have any lag? Or any major bug issues with drivers, freezing etc.?
Thanks for the review man, really informed.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good review. Convinced me to buy this tablet. Thank you, Imad.
would love to see more reviews of such things.
Hope I get to make more reviews! I enjoyed this one!!
I bought this and used for 4 months smoothly. I use this for online teaching and it works like butter. But after 4 months it developed a problem in a particular zone where it felt like it was getting slipped. But as I was under the warrenty I got replacement within two days. Let's see what happens next.
What do you mean by slipping? I’m considering this tablet for university for physics so I can go digital this year struggling to see if this is portable and wondering if I should go for the wacom intuos small or this
@@rachelle9518 You can watch it here. I made this while claiming warranty.

great review.. really appreciate it and it really helped to choose a better product as there any many in the market
Just bought the XP-Pen Deco, and discovered something by accident, I already had the Ugee driver installed and found it works with it just the same as with the XP-Pen driver and also one of my Ugee stylus works with it too. I believe I read the two firms are related.
Oh! I didn’t know that 👀
I just bought a kamvas a couple months ago and it works like a charm but its not that "portable" since I'm a student and I'll be moving a lot qhen everything goes back to normal. I might buy a regular tablet for portability tho. That one looks so thin and light, would be a perfect fit for my backpack.
Absolutely! This is a good choice; it fits in the laptop bag with ease!
Thank you for this review, I needed it
Glad it was helpful!!
Thanks a lot for this lot's of love 😘 from 🇮🇳 india
Thanks bunches!!
Yeah this tab is very convenient, im using it almost for 9months. ;)
Great! And yes it's awesome! Pretty precise! :)
do you need to charge the tab itself?!
@@namanhnguyen2649 We cant charge it, it isn't wireless/Bluetooth Just plugin and have fun> :)
@@gouthamvanga5129 do we need a driver?-
How does the nib hold up? That is one thing I'm really worried about. Like ik all nibs wear down eventually but I just wanna know how does it hold up generally
Thank you for the review and covering the orientation feature 🙏 'm a lefty😊
You’re welcome 😊
Beginners? Beginner to using a tablet, and getting a cheap one to try out and see if you like working on a screen as opposed to working on a tablet. That makes sense. I have the XP-Pen Star G640, even cheaper than the one reviewed. I find it okay, I have managed to do some very detailed drawings, but had to seriously develop some new techniques as the pen is very slippy and the lines go all over the place. What I want in a tablet is to know that my lines stay where I have drawn them and pressure sensitivity.
That drawing is sick. 👌
Thanks so much for this review! I'm new to digital painting. I want to invest in a good quality tablet of medium to large size with tilt functionality. The large Wacom is highly recommended, but WOW that price tag! I was saving for the Wacom, but XP Pen may have won me over.
Xp pen deco pro maybe is a good choice
Thanks man! Glad to be of help. Wacom or Xp-pen, whatever you choose, i hope it proves to be useful for you and your work. Have fun painting! :)
Great review, clear and concise, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Helpful video; helped make my choice easier

Why u didn't cut the box with the sword 💔 jsjs, nice review i was looking for pen tablets and it looks like a good option.

@@AnaBeatrizCastilloRodriguez haha XD the truth is that I recorded that sword footage long after I unboxed the tablet ;) no excuses this time!

Works great!
Hi Imad, the film that you've put back on the tablet, is the "same-one" you've pilled out when you unpacked it, or does it come with a totally separate one? Nice drawing at the end! Thanks a lot.
It does come with a separate screen protector. Once you open the box you see the tablet first and under the tablet is the screen protector. However, from what I've seen, many prefer not to use it cause the texture it gives isn't really as good as the tablet itself.
For the same price would you recommend this one OR Huion HS610 ? + Thanks for your video keep going ❤❤❤
the best part of the video is @ 5:24.
Perfect!
And what is the program you used on laptop to draw ??🙌
Hey bro.. the discount code still works. I've ordered one for me. Thanks 😊
Wow! Great! :D
Thanks!
