I was so excited to try this tablet for my art, as Android has a ton of things that make for an efficient workflow including air gestures (with the S-Pen Pro, not included), air actions, DEX mode, syncing with my Windows computer, and so much more. The mint color is gorgeous, and I loved everything about the tablet... except that it couldn't do the ONE thing I bought it to do.
It worked fine at first, but then I noticed there was an extreme delay in gestures when switching from pen to gesture, and sometimes just wouldn't work at all. This happened in my Clip Studio app as well as others. I spent hours with support for the tablet and with CSP before being forced to factory reset, which somehow solved it... Until I installed the updates.
Turns out, the issue is with OneUI, and hasn't been resolved for years according to the complaints on Reddit dating back to 2022. This delay completely interrupts my workflow, as I can not seamlessly switch from drawing with the pen, to zooming or rotating with my hand.
I had returned the first tablet I got, under the direction of the support desk, only to get a second one, spend hours re-installing my brushes on CSP, only to find the same problem. It's definitely an issue with OneUI.
For everyone else who doesn't care, or who doesn't intend to use it for art, it's 100% fantastic. Bright screen, powerful budget tablet that can do so much more than you think it can.
For artists? I am so sad to claim defeat to the iPad which can do the one thing this one can not: Work.
The straw that broke the camel's back for me is more of an issue with Clip Studio Paint's Android version which does not allow you to access your files in ANY other way except through the cloud, making it absolutely impossible to batch move your files from your tablet's CSP to your desktop, external HD, or other devices. You literally have to manually open each file from the cloud, onto desktop, then save it where you want. Or you have to access the files ONE at a time through the cloud, click an arrow, open the file location, cut the file and paste it where you want. And of course the file location doesn't have ALL your images in one place. it places it within 3 tiers of foldiers for each. individual. file.
So after going through 2 tablets, hours of support, blood sweat and tears, I finally have to call it quits on the Samsung Tablet yet again and switch to the 2x more expensive iPad. I'm so devastated.
