J’ai eu peur avec tous les commentaires ngatifs que a soit les Franais ou les trangers, pour l’instant j’ai 0 problme, je dirais que ces dfauts c’est les haut-parleurs, son autonomie de batterie et la pile du stylet en AAAA, cependant j’ai pas d’information sur l’autonomie du stylet, deux piles sont inclue dans le pack, mais j’ai command des piles rechargeables pour tre tranquille. J’ai pas test l’HDMI, il faut un cble spcifique pour l’utilis ( pas inclue ).
J’ai achet IbisPaint, l’application gre bien les fonctionnalits de la tablette comme l’anti-tremblement ou les points de pressions du stylet, il faut un temps d’adaptation car la texture de l’cran est lisse comme la plupart des tablettes/tablettes graphique cran, attention toutes-fois si votre application gre l’anti-tremblement, si vous mettez l’option en temps rel a fera un effet de ” lag “, personnellement je les mis en “pres”.
—————————————————————————————————————
Bref a donne a :
Les + :
– Tablette assez puissante ( vit de laisser en arrire plant des applications, et rgler bien Android )
– Pression du stylet
– Anti-tremblement si l’application est compatible
– cran de “bonne” qualit pour le prix
– Sensibilit tactile bon
– Les accessoires incluent –> Protge cran, deux piles AAAA inclue ( je vous conseille d’acheter des rechargeables sur internet, modle de pile extrmement rare en France ), housse, stylet, un gant de dessin, chargeur avec toutes les prises mondiales, cble USB-C, serviette pour cran.
– Application Autodesk pr-installer ( test, pas mal mai il y a mieux )
– Pour l’achat de la tablette, vous aider un enfant en Inde
—————————————————————————————————————
Les – :
– Batterie pas endurante pour une grosse utilisation
– Pile rare en France pour le stylet ( pile AAAA ), dommage certains stylets des marques concurrent s’utilise sans piles.
– Qualit des haut-parleurs
– Cble spcial non inclue si vous souhaitez utiliser l’HDMI
– N’est pas faite pour la photo ( normal en mme temps )
– cran sans filtre anti-reflet
—————————————————————————————————————
Moyens :
– Peu d’applications pr-installer, il y en a quelque une mai largement moins que toutes les tablettes et smartphones, pas de surcouche
– Calibrage des couleurs, pas mal mai peut mieux faire
– ( Vue dans certains commentaires ) Si vous compter offrir la tablette a un jeune enfant, faite TRS attention, ce n’est PAS un jouer, la tablette reste fragile comme tous appareil du mme type.
—————————————————————————————————————
En bref, je suis satisfait de cet achat, bonne tablette pour les dbutant(es)s mais faite attention aux enfants, pas conue pour les professionnelles qui trouveront mieux. Mes images proviennent de cette tablette, amusez-vous bien 🙂
Pros

– Programas para dibujar preinstalados
– Va rpida y no tarda en cargarse
Contras
– El lpiz va a pilas

– Baja calidad del altavoz
I wanted a tablet to try and do more digital art , and it’s really easy to use! It’s light and easy to travel with, whilst still being big enough to draw with. It’s got great software and I highly recommend!! It’s really good for just drawing on the go if like me you have far too many art supplies you want to take with you everywhere! It is a standalone product which is so hard to find with good pen pressure sensitivity! 10/10
Very good for beginners.brought as gift for my daughter who wants to get into graphic art. She is 13 and gets along with this very well.
Bought this product for my daughter costomer services was secound to none very helpful and gives yiu a excellent servise indeed would not buy from anywhere else as Amazon do go above and beyond to help and satisfy customers needs awesome shopping experience would recommend amazon 100% satisfied
Bought for my artistic daughters 10th birthday and have not been dissapointed in any way! She loves it so I’m happy!!
Unfortunately the pen was missing from the box but I contacted the seller and they sent one out the very next day! Would definitely recommend both the product and the selle
I brought this for my daughter, as she wanted a drawing tablet. My daughter has always had an iPad so this was a bit of risk. There are not many on the market but the cheaper ones are not portable and don’t have a screen. Also the more expensive ones are not portable, they need to be connected to a PC or some sort of a device. I spent ages looking for a portable drawing tablet, after researching and looking, I decided to get this as a surprise gift for my daughter.
She loves her new tablet, plus we see no difference, when I compare this tablet to an iPad. They have the same functions, plus has excellent features for drawing and it came with a glove, drawing pen and a cover.
There are not many about to pick from but this one is excellent value for money. plus it’s not only for drawing, it has all features that a tablet would have. Recommend 100%
This is a great product and we will have some great play with the photos
Lightweight
Good value for money
Easy to use and set up
I use it for technical drawings
My 12 year old draws comics
Can be synced to a laptop
This is a great little starter pad for drawing, the pen is high quality and performance good, although there is a slight parallax error between pen and line. The Android system takes a bit to get used to if you are used to Windows, but it just means the menus are in a different place. I’m enjoying using it so far and it seems well made and the bonus cover is useful.
Customer support are very helpful through Simban – we had an issue with the charger and they were good enough to send a replacement, despite the device being over a year old – thank you!!
Top product. Well designed and packed with wonderful artistic features.
Great product, especially for children. Daughter wanted an iPad Provfor drawing/ art apps like Procreate. Couldn’t afford an iPad Pro so chanced the Picasso and haven’t looked back – she loves it and now her younger 7 year old sister wants one, very intuitive to use. Highly recommended!
Bought for 10 yr old.Easy for her to navigate menus and use straight away.
This drawing pad is excellent for beginners and professional artist as well.
Really good for beginners; low price, decent size, nice look, light weight and truly easy to use.
Great product, as described. Brilliantly packaged and quick delivery. Communication great, all I all an easy, great purchase.
This product was purchased as a gift and does as described. The screen is nice and the pen is responsive. It has a tiny delay but nothing that spoils the function. Good price and worth the money. Pleased with it.
You get what you pay for but that is not always a bad saying to use. This item is great for beginners. The predownloded program is horrible but since its more of a tablet designe you are able to down load your own apps I use ibus paint and I know there are a lot of great free drawing apps for beginners. Since it’s also a tablet you can look up source material to refer to while drawing right on the tablet so you can down load the image and up load it to your drawing app so you can either trace reference for add to the photo. The pen works really well with the pressure sensitivity but the app I use wasnt really designed for pressure sensitive stylus so most of the brushes dont work with it but the few that do work fantastic. My only issue is the pen over heats some times and you have to take out the batteries to cool it down if you dont the battery will go out quicker and it already goes out pretty quick. But you get what you pay for. Over all I think it’s a great thing for people to use to decide if they want to do digital art.
En rsum malgr quelques points noirs je passe mes journes l’utiliser et je suis contente de cet achat. Pour les personnes avec un niveau avanc en dessin je recommanderais peut-tre un autre modle…
I got this tablet about a week or two ago and I love it but the pen has stopped working suddenly while I’m trying to do some commission. The nib seems to have come loose in the casing and isn’t connecting again and I’m not sure why that happened or how to fix it.
The best part is, I don’t have to be hooked up to a computer to draw. In the past I’ve had to cart a large bag around for my laptop and tablet, since I couldn’t use the tablet without my computer attached. Now I can draw anywhere with just a small backpack for my tablet, phone and charger.
Honestly the only drawback for me is how long it takes to charge, and how quickly I lose battery if I want true colors in my work. You can’t have everything, though.
Update 10/21: the art app that comes pre-installed can’t handle anything over ~2500x2700px and will cause the entire unit to lag. Experiment with other art apps if that’s going to frustrate you.
Got this for my nephew and he absolutely loves it he finds it easy to use he does photography on it he uses it for his art work overall a lovely little tablet for the price
My daughter liked most of the features on the table and found it easy to draw, the only thing is the size could have been a litte bigger, overy all she is happy.
It’s amazing but I wish the battery last longer so I can draw on my tablet a bit more longer because I’m loving it I get around 5hours of battery life on this so it’s not too bad but it can do better for the price of the damn thing xx
it’s a great tool for everyday online tasks.
fantastic for drawing.
My daughter loves it and it is a perfect gift for someone who loves a
Bought this for my daughter for Christmas, she loves it. Still uses it daily and sometimes spends ages on it.
She finds it easy to use, easy to download apps (which you will have to do), I think it would be handy for beginners to use as if you make a mistake, just undo and carry on.
The only bad thing I can say is the price, I found it a bit to pricey for someone to buy. I was going to buy it sooner but had to keep asking my daughter if she was going to use it on a regular basis, if not it would not be worth buying.
I purchased the Picasso Tab as an early birthday present for my 15 year old grandson as he is really in to drawing and graphic design.
He had no problems in setting the system up and has found it an extremely useful tool and fun to use.
It was delivered on time as promised.
Brilliant tablet, using for my son to do his school homework on and some drawing, can’t really fault it, the only thing I’ve noticed is the volume isn’t the loudest and it can sometimes sound tinny but not sure if that’s donnyo the app he needs to do his homework o
The tablet is surprisingly good and the pressure-sensitive pen works fine. Some apps are better than others but here is little pen offset. I intend to use the tablet for plein air sketching.
I love the product, it’s possibly the best item I’ve ever bought my daughter.
It’s the second one I’ve bought for her the first one having been dropped on its screen.
Unfortunately after the initial set up it stopped working hence why I’ve sent it back.
I will be quick to order another once it’s been received . Money well spent.
The on off for me to small . everything else is all I could ask. For . I am very happy .
Awesome easy to use drawing tablet. Great service and delivery. My daughter loves it.
Excellent product got it for my son who loves drawing. Got it at a good price too.
Got for my daughter’s Christmas and she loves it. Total value for money as it comes with extras. Arrived when it was supposed to.
Daughter was delighted with the tablet for her drawings, it’s quite good for the price.
Works well for art with accompanying apps and ones available from the Play Store. Glove and pen stylus are both useful. Would recommend for people who would prefer an all-in-one art and miscellaneous tablet.
Bought this for my twelve year old daughter who is passionate about drawing. To say she absolutely loves this is an understatement. She has drawn paople and landscapes in great detail and uploaded them to her social media. Brilliant and worth the money.
The more I use this tablet, the more I like it. I am getting addicted to it. I draw on it on a daily basis.
All in all, if you want a gizmo to sketch/paint with that doesn’t require a peripheral screen or separate device, this is ideal.
This product is a christmas present. Looks good in wrapping
Anyway, early days, but he loves it.
Given the price of this device, what you’re getting is a good value for the money. My son bought this for his birthday and it came updated to Android 8.1.0. The tablet includes a basic case, drawing glove, and a pressure-sensitive stylus, as well as the basic cords and accessories you would expect to find. It also includes a couple decent sketching programs right out of the gate, which allows it to function as advertised as a digital drawing pad without requiring additional software.
While I haven’t benchmarked or checked anything, it seems to work just fine as intended. I’m sure it’s on the slower side as far as tablets go, but the drawing is decently responsive and the pressure sensor works fine on the stylus. The screen is also a standard touch screen if you want to draw using your finger or navigate without using the stylus. There is a slight delay while drawing that I’m sure you wouldn’t find on a more expensive digital pad, but given that this is $200 and doesn’t require a PC, I think that’s probably an acceptable trade-off. It includes basic tablet functionality – wi-fi support, internet browsing, email, and the ability to download and run any Android 8.1.0 compatible apps. I believe the screen is 1280×800, which isn’t fantastic but works okay given the screen size.
Overall, I think this is an excellent entry-level tablet for those who are specifically interested in digital art. You can get better general-purpose devices, and better digital drawing solutions, but at the price point this is a pretty good all-in-one kind of solution, especially for kids who might not have access to a PC of their own.
Great stand alone product.Bought as present for my wife,she loves it.
As a hobbiest artist and university student I needed something more portable and quicker to set up than my laptop and screen tablet for days when I didn’t want the hassle or for going out and drawing on the go. This device has served this purpose well! The case is very handy and the pen fits nicely inside the little ring strap.
It’s a very good make and it’s good price to I had fun drawing as I normally do on laptop for me it’s good experience to draw on the go includes case as it’s useful I appreciate the fast delivery too
Bought for my granddaughters 11th birthday she loves it and has done so amazing pictures and is able to email them to me with ease
Artistic Drawing detail is as fine as I had expected. I haven’t learned how to draw fine pen lines yet.
Also had pay extra to get some of the brushes that should have been included with the Art App.
I was pleasantly surprised that it had Android apps and could do email as well.
I bought this product for my son who is 12 and absolutely loves drying and designing. He adores it and brings it everywhere.
I’m really impressed with the quality and style of the tablet and how easy it is to use.
I would recommend it to any up coming kid who loves art and drawing as it is a great platform in order to get them interested in autocad and stuff like tha
This product, for the price it is, is just fantastic.
I did a lot of research and it had good reviews – but even went to watch some reviews on YouTube to ensure i was getting what i needed.
The tablet is a great tablet and is ideal for an amateur designer like myself but also runs other programs just as well also.
My daughter has been drawing on paper since she was 3. At first I thought it was just a phase, but she has continued to draw for the past ten years. I give you this bit of information to politely say, it’s taken her 7 of those years to get me to buy this tablet for her.
We have spent so much money on special erasers, drawing pads, charcoal pencils, all of the “great stuff” artists use. We bought an iPad for my wife, and later handed it down to my daughter. Although there are some great apps for other tablets, the apps are limited in a lot of ways. For the past three years my daughter has been BEGGING for a “drawing tablet”. So I decided to do some research for specifics.
The good: this particular tablet arrives with a specific drawing app that IPhone or Android does not offer. The display is very good, obviously with it being a “smaller size” the picture seems so much clearer. It’s very responsive with the stylus that it comes with. The price is within reason, and it allows for “YouTube” recording.
The bad: although it does come with a leather bound case, there are no other options as far as a case goes. The stylus does not have a rubber tip, so you may have to buy a screen protector in order to prevent scratches (I’m not quite sure of this just yet, it’s only been two months). It only bolsters the desire for bigger and more expensive tablet.
The down and dirty: I would definitely recommend this product to someone who is looking to grow their artistic abilities. My daughter takes Art in school and has been able to expand her abilities because of the different abilities the app has. Definitely buy the glove for the artist tablet, it comes with one black one, but if it gets caught in the couch, eaten by the dog, or just forgot at school, then it kind of curves the “earth is ending” moments. Great product, just know you ARE getting what you’re paying for.
I bought this for my son (12) and he just loves it. Highly recommend.
Very good for beginners, can lag a little bit but I don’t mind considering the price
My daughter loves this but can’t figure out how to do moving animation.?
Gift for my daughter and for the price this is a great tablet for a young artist with everything u would expect from an andriod tablet with the added bonus off a pen .
This item arrived exactly when it was said to arrive which is refreshing compared to other services.
The tablet is absolutely amazing for drawing. The pen isn’t like other graphics tablet pens and actually feels like a real pen/pencil. Using it feels so smooth, the pressure sensitivity is beautiful and compared to some of the other devices available this is an absolute steal for the price it’s at.
If you want to get into digital art this is something I cannot recommend enough.
Purchased for my son and so easy to set up and easy to use. Would recommend
Bought it as quick sketching tool for my tattoo shop rather than spend on an i pad, glad i did. Does exactly what it needs to. Myself and the other artist find it very useful so far
Addition
Used it for a gew months now and still find it great. Works well with IBIS paint X ddawing app.
This tablet is amazing for anyone who is just starting out in graphics or illustration! Delivery was fast and product was packed very well. I have only had it for a month but I love it already and I can tell I am going to get great use out of i
Summary:
Stylus: works really well for the price.
Screen: It is not amazing but gets the job done. Could use a higher resolution/ higher pixel density panel.
Since there isn’t a ton of reviews online I will give a mini review based on my experience to help those who are interested in this tablet.
Who is this tablet for?
In a nutshell… Basically anyone who wants a budget tablet with a screen that supports a stylus. If you dont care about stylus pen support… dont even consider this tablet.
In my opinion the most important factor for this tablet would be the stylus and than the screen. The rest are great feature to have like the dual speaker, cameras, expandable storage and HDMI output. So I am only going to comment on those two aspects.
How is the active stylus?
Honestly looking at the price I had my doubts when buying it. But to my surprise the pen sensitivity is not bad at all. Also note that the pressure sensitivity is 1048. Honestly it is not bad for the price but just to put things into perspective higher end tablet supports ~8000 pressure sensitivity. The tips seems to be replaceable since they are selling it on their website. Just note that due to the battery, the pen is top end heavy. Overall the stylus works quite well and seems durable enough. Only thing is there is a lot of jitters in slow strokes but a fast stoke will smooth out the line. Also given the price point the jitters in slow strokes is expected.
Screen any good?
Not the greatest… resolution is low and not the most responsive to finger touches (Which could be a good thing when drawing with the stylus). I find that using the glove actually help with reducing the number of unwanted strokes from the hand resting on the screen dramatically. Even thought that is not the primary function of the glove…
Overall: I would suggest this tablet to anyone who wants a budget drawing tablet that works good enough to get the job done. However, if you are a little more serious and want to invest into a more capable entry level tablet that you can grow into I would suggest you to spent ~$400 for a GAOMON PD1560 or equivalent.
I bought this product for my son but he has not used it yet. It looks like good quality though. I have kept it cause I might just sell it if my son doesn’t want it. Great if you are interested in drawing.

Pacchetto: arriva in un gran bel pacco marrone marchiato amazon (per clienti prime). All’interno troviamo il pacco del Picasso tab. Lo apro e dentro troviamo tablet, alimentatore, cavo type c, 2 pellicole protettive, cover, penna, adattatori presa ENG/IT/US, manualistica e panno pulizia vetro.
Impressioni personali e primo utilizzo: lo osservo… il tab ben costruito, molto sottile, solido in mano, la scocca posteriore in plastica ruvida quasi gommata regala un bell feed. La dotazione e l’harduware sono coerenti con il prezzo di questo tablet. Tra questi mi ha colpito la presenza del mini hdmi che mi permette di disegnare, studiare o condividere materiale con amici comodamente sul mio divano di fronte alla tv. Perch no pu essere utilizzato anche per vedere film. Il tablet in generale fluido non presenta lagg di alcun genere o crash di sistema improvvisi. Il display si vede discretamente, non ha una luminosit elevatissima ma quanto basta. Le due fotocamere sono quasi inutili, stanno li giusto per dire che c’ la fotocamera. 2Mpx e 5Mpx, foto sfocate o mosse di bassissima qualit. Non sono le fotocamere per il punto forte di questo PicassoTab ma la penna in alluminio in dotazione. Parliamo quindi della sua funzione principale… La penna che arriva assieme a 2 mini stilo tipo AAAA ben costruita, solida in mano, interamente in alluminio satinato. Grip ottimo anche dopo ore di utilizzo. Sulla punta troviamo una punta touch sottile con sensore di pressione. I livelli di pressione non sono tantissimi ma una feature molto apprezzata. Le prime prove ho avuto qualche difficolt … perch tra penna e display dove appare il tratto c’ una piccola distanza dovuta allo spessore del vetro. All’inizio inganna leggermente ma dopo pochi giorni ci si fa l’abitudine. La scrittura ed il disegno tutto sommato sono piacevoli. E’ un tablet Android versione nougat e quindi abbiamo a disposizione molteplici applicazioni per disegno e/o scrittura. Il tablet non ha un tasto fisico per disattivare il touch classico con le mani e mantenere solo quello della penna quindi la scrittura potr essere confortevole 100% solo sulle applicazioni che hanno questa funzione. Ma non vi preoccupate perch il tablet ottimizzato benissimo, infatti anche se il touch della mano non disattivato nel momento in cui poggiamo la punta della penna sullo schermo automaticamente la priorit passa al tratto della penna non considerando la presenza della mano sul display.
Conclusioni: 170 per un tablet da disegno sono veramente pochi, se poi il tablet costruito bene e funziona altrettanto bene sono 170 molto ben spesi. Ne consiglio l’acquisto a chi si vuole avvicinare al mondo del disegno e scrittura digitali.
my grandson is well impressed with it and does everything he wants it to do. is bigger than he expected it to be. Uses for all his art work . I was impressed when I saw .it to how easy to use.
I watched a youtube review…
(Review: Simbans PicassoTab – Budget Tablet for Digital Sketching)
that sold me on this product and I had to buy it!
The reviewer, Teoh Yi Chie is a tech guy, but his review was from an artist’s perspective.
p.s. The stylus battery that came with the tablet lasted only a month… because I used this device for hours almost every day.
I found rechargeable batteries, a charger and a 6.6ft USB cord here on Amazon for a really good price.
ANVOW Rechargeable AAAA Batteries for Surface Pen for: $6.99
Olight UC Universal Magnetic USB Charger for: $9.99
In order for the charger to make a proper connection with the AAAA’s, I had to peel back the wrap to expose more of the battery.
Cable Matters USB-C Cable (USB A to USB C Cable/USB C to USB Cable) with Braided Jacket in Black 6.6 Feet for: $5.99
Here are a few samples of my work from using this device.
UPDATE: from November 2019
The tablet is still great, but I eventually had some issues with the stylus. I noticed that the tracking was off. I had to recalibrate the stylus almost every time I started working on a project. This may not bother a beginner, but for someone who does digital on a daily basis, it’s really annoying.
Was looking for a drawing tablet for my daughter, as we don’t own a pc , usual graphics tablets are not suitable for her. This apparently one of the best Android drawing tablet according to reviews on YouTube. My daughter said that screen size is good, using drawing apps easy, picture comes up very accurate, pen is comfortable to hold, also comes with a nice expensive looking cove
The only things i dont like about it is as an artist the diagonal line jitter is pretty annoying, but can kind of be reduced depending on the program you use. And i do have problems with palm rejection, but some art programs do fix that so it isnt the worst thing.
The thing i hate MOST about this product is the pen. It feels good quality and is nice and heavy but it takes AAAA battery, which i personally have not seen before and i can only find it online which is pretty inconvenient. But the WORST part is how it scratches the screen protector. Ive had this tablet two days or so and the whole screen is already ruined with scratches, all i did was draw one picture and take a couple of notes. So the screen protector would have to be changed extremely often which absolutely sucks. All the scratches make the screen harder to see, and id be afraid to remove it and try using it without it because i wouldnt want to damage the tablets actual screen.
Other than that its pretty good in all of its functions, and for the price i cannot complain. I wouldnt reccomend it for pros but for beginners i really think youd like it.
Four stars only because it wasn’t delivered on the day promised, but rather shipped OUT on that day.
UPDATE 4/2/18: I’ve been using this thing with MediBang and it does as promised. Although, my pen had an instance where it stopped working. At first, I replaced the battery, but still no bite. In the end, tapping it against my palm a few times got it to work again. It’s a good tablet, but I guess it’s a hit and miss with people who get theirs. Not saying you shouldn’t get this tablet, but do have some caution when buying it and after reading these reviews.
UPDATE 7/12/2018: This tablet holds up well and does it’s job as a tablet. I needed a new pen since the nib on mine was wearing down, and the Simbans site actually does sell them alone ( the pens ) for 30 bucks each. A kinda “ehh” price just for a vital drawing tool for the tablet, but it’s understandable due to the material the pen itself is made out of.
UPDATE 1/20/21: I’ve officially had this tablet for three years and it’s held up very well! While the camera no longer works (due to problems I cannot seem to figure out for the life of me), the picassotab has been nothing but reliable in furthering my digital art. It’s all in a matter of taking care of it via replacing the screen protector, keeping up with the RAM/background running apps, and making sure its in the case at all times. I would definitely recommend the tablet for any artist at any skill level, the pen pressure sensitivity is phenomenal.
Pros
* It comes with a charger (US as well as UK/Europe included) with usb cord (to use in outlet or charge by computer).
* If I wanted to, there is a HDMI port to connect to a computer or tv
* You can add additional memory.
*Pen sensitivity
Cons/Other Thoughts
* Technically I don’t have any or have not found anything yet. It doesn’t seem to get too hot when on for a very long time.
*This is my first tablet so I can’t say if it is heavy? I have arthritis and carpal tunnel so I wouldn’t be the best judge of it anyway. But it doesn’t seem too bulky or ridiculous.
*Compared to a wacom pen, the included pen certainly has some weight to it. I do not believe it is plastic, it is perhaps metal or something similar (from unscrewing the cap) when taking a look at the battery.
*The pen is not thick in width but it’s not super skinny either. I honestly do not know what to compare it too. Umm…..If you need specifics feel free to ask and I’ll try and get more information. It seems larger (in width) than a regular pen or pencil (is round/no edges). So maybe the size of a normal pen + maybe another 15%? Again I may just be way off but the weight and size does not mess with it’s balance or my accuracy drawing. ***edit I don’t know what I was thinking. It is the same size as a default wacom pen. Sorry. 😀
*The tip/nib seems similar to the default one that comes with a Wacom. I will update later to see how long it takes me to wear it down. To my knowledge there were no extras but I’m sure the universal default ones will fit. I will say that I will order more of the flex tip nibs.
Edit 3/3/18
I’ve been playing with it everyday. Again I only use it for the drawing/reference photo capability and not for internet browsing etc. Revisited the default art program (with the 99 cent upgrade) so am still learning about the different tools/features. I did figure out ow to change the background color. I haven’t quite found a way of adding color/painting that I like yet though. I now switch between it and ArtRage. The little daily challenges are also fun (can upload to deviantart).
I tried replacing the default pen nib with one of the other ones I am more familiar with (fits wacom pens). Nope. It did not work. I am still researching if you can only use the default pen/nib or if there is a way to make any styluses work. I feel that the default is too hard. I like the smoother/felt type ones. Even with the screen protector on the tablet as well as drawing lightly, a person will scratch the crap out of the thing. I’m sure it would be easy just to put another screen protector on but hopefully you catch my drift.
I did go ahead and purchase rechargeable AAAA batteries and an adapter as I use it for drawing a lot. Battery power overall? I can’t gauge yet. I have ot remember to pay attention. I charge it all the way and also turn the screen off if I’m not drawing (ie sneaking in some drawing at work but a call comes in). I have noticed after disabling or force stopping programs the battery power is better. I also have wifi off because again, I’m just using it strictly for drawing purposes.
It’s really good, wanted a tablet to do my drawings on and this does exactly that, takes a while to get used to as usually I use pencil and paper. Only 4 stars as it is quite slow.
so far so good, right quality for this price, using for taking notes and watching video services
So far so very good. Looks good, nice screen clarity and colours. Can’t say over time but it seems like it might be a real find.
Belle tablette ractive et quipe de Androd 7, donc un plus. Wifi, Bluetooth et GPS (pas test) sont de la partie
J’ai aim : l’cran de protection livr (dj en place)
L’tui simili cuir parfaitement adapt,
le prix somme toute intressant compte tenu de la qualit du produit,
le stylet, un rel plus pour la navigation, les notes et le dessin.
La notice claire en franais.
La connectivit notamment HDMI (cble non fourni) pour brancher sur la TV.
Les adaptateurs de prises USA/GB/ Europe pour voyager tranquille
J’ai moins aim: le fait qu’on nous fait miroiter la prsence de Autodesk Sketchbook install d’origine alors que c’est la version gratuite que tout un chacun peut tlcharger sur Google Play. Pas une vraie licence donc!
On est loin de l’conomie de 40 avec les produits livrs (tui et cran)
Le standard micro USB type C, certes plus robuste et rversible mais qui oblige rinvestir dans un autre cable de secours si vous avez comme moi nombre de cbles micro usb classiques avec vos autres quipements.
Le slot pour carte SD pas vident ouvrir. Par contre impossible de se tromper de sens d’insertion avec ce systme de “petit tiroir.”
En conclusion aprs une semaine d’utilisation, il n’y rien redire. Je ne peux que recommander cette tablette qui suffira amplement pour un usage lambda, jeux d’arcades, films, navigation web, dessin… En revanche pour les jeux gourmands en ressources elle atteindra sans doute vite ses limites.
I brought this for my 13 year old daughter as a Christmas present. She loves it!! Highly recommended. Battery’s on tablet and in pen last long time, easily down downloadable apps. And free leather case
It works best I have found with Adobe Sketch, not with Autodesk Sketchbook like everyone seems to recommend.
Something to note… It runs on an older version of Android so anyone needing to cast to a chromecast will need to download the chromecast app.
There is a screen protector that scratches very easily. So applications that use pen pressure will cause scratching. You can remove it if it becomes too scratched.
There is no power light, so you have no idea if it is charging or not until the screen comes on.
Brilliant tablet. I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. Can’t fault it at all. She wanted it mainly to draw on and colour in and it does exactly what it says on the tin. Very happy daughter!
My Daughter is very into producing digital art and wanted an inexpensive tablet to sketch on. This tablet has ticked all the boxes and she is thrilled with it.
The customer service we have received has been excellent.
Very nice for the price. A bit disappointed that there is no free keyboard, this is the one with the free electric pen. I must have read the ad wrong.
Great tablet, very comfortable to work on, pen graphics easy to use.
This is a present for my granddaughter she asked for a tablet but her favourite occupation is drawing so this one is ideal. It was delivered promptly and is as described. It appears to work fine although I have not tried anything on it just set it up ready for her I cannot comment on speed or the drawing app.

Beschreibung:
Gleich mal vorweg. Wir erhalten hier kein High End Tablet das mit anderen Tablets die 3 oder 4x soviel kosten mithalten kann. Das ist schlichtweg nicht mglich.
Fr das Budget erhlt man aber durchaus ein gelungenes Gert. Bei meinem Tablet handelt es sich bereits um die Upgraded Version mit 2GB Arbeitsspeicher und einigen Software Verbesserungen.
Daher erhalten wir ein Tablet das mit dem verbauten Quad Core Prozessor fr alltgliche Aufgaben gut geeignet ist. Als Gamer Tablet und fr stark Speicher und Grafikfressende Anwendungen aber kaum geeignet.
Zum zeichen mit dem Stylus und fr Schreib Anwendungen sowie unterwegs zur Unterhaltung mit Youtube und co, ist es Prima geeignet. Auch das ein oder andere sehr einfache Spiel kann durchaus gespielt werden.
Das Android mit der Version 7.0 sehr aktuell gehalten und gut ausgereift. Bisher funktionierte alles einwandfrei. Keine Hnger oder sonstige Probleme erkennbar.
Das System reagiert schnell und relativ przise auf Eingaben. Auch der Stylus Pen arbeitet gut, wenn auch nicht perfekt! Hier hat wohl der Hersteller nicht bedacht das man eine glattere Display Schutzfolie htte aufbringen sollen und auch eine etwas hherwertigere. Denn der Stylus gleitet nicht so leicht ber das Display. Es ist leichtes Kratzen zu hren und bei genauer Betrachtung sieht man bereits sehr starke Kratzspuren auf der Folie!
Das ist auch neben dem Lautsprecher das Grte Manko wo man noch nachbessern sollte. Ich werde mir zur Sicherheit noch eine strkere zuschneidbare Folie kaufen.
Das Display ist kein Full HD Display. Lst aber gut auf und die Farben kommen gut zur Geltung.
Der Blickwinkel ist ebenfalls gut, bei Sonne spiegelt es jedoch relativ Stark. Gre von knapp 10Zoll sind gut gegeben. Diverse Anpassungen sind mit integriertem MiraVision noch mglich.
Vorne ist eine 2 M schwache Kamera integriert. Fr Selfies nicht brauchbar. Zur Videotelefonie brauchbar. Wobei man beachten sollte das, Tablet kann nicht als Telefon verwendet werden. Es kann daher keine Sim Karte eingesetzt werden! Die Internet Verbindung kann ausschlielich ber WiFi erfolgen.
Als Hauptkamera wird eine 5M Kamera verwendet an der Rckseite. Erhaben und fr schnelle Abfotografieren von Dokumenten und co unterwegs, brauchbar. Fr Urlaubsfotos kaum geeignet.
Blitz ist keiner verbaut.
Bluetooth sowie GPS sind ebenfalls integriert. Wobei das GPS auch relativ Schwach ausgeprgt ist. Der GPS fix dauerte relativ lange und war auch ungenau. Als Navi Ersatz daher nicht geeignet.
Die Vorzge liegen ohnehin im anderen Bereich und daher sehe ich die GPS Fhigkeit als nette Zugabe an.
Das Tablet kann mittels optionalem Micro HDMI auch an externe Gerte verbunden werden.
Der integrierte USB Anschluss ist auf aktuellstem Stand. Es handelt sich bereits um einen USB C Anschluss. Hier ist es mitunter egal wie man den Stecker in das Gert einsteckt. Das sind einer von mehreren Vorzgen bei dem Standard.
An der Unterseite wren Kontakte und 2 Ausnehmungen fr eine externe Tastatur vorhanden.
Wobei ich noch keine geeignete Tastatur bisher ausmachen konnte. Vielleicht folgt dies noch durch den Hersteller.
Dann wre das Tablet auch optimal zum schreiben geeignet.
Der Akku hielt bei mir knappe 5 Stunden durch bei Mittlerer Display Helligkeit und ziemlich viel probieren mit abspielen von Videos, GPS,Zeichnen und co. Das empfinde ich fr brauchbar um unterwegs ohne Strom mal einige Zeit arbeiten zu knnen. Optional kann man das Tablet auch mit einer Power Bank oder KFZ Ladekabel mit Strom versorgen.
Gerte Speicher sind insgesamt noch knapp 25GB Verfgbar. Daher bereits 7GB durch das System belegt. Wird einem der Platz zu wenig, knnte man ihm mittes micro SD/TF Karte erweitern.
Das System an sich sehr sauber und aufgerumt. Keine Bloatware oder hnliche Mlllaps vorhanden bzw gefunden. Eine Zeichen App ist bereits vorinstalliert. Hier lsst sich so einiges in Verbindung mit dem Stylus Pen zeichnen und anstellen.
Die Verwendung werde ich euch kurz im Video im Zeiten Teil vorstellen.
Ansonsten sind noch einig Gapps vorinstalliert wie Chrome,Playstore oder auch Youtube…..
Der Touchscreen reagiert gut.
Alles in allem ein gut ausgereiftes wenn auch noch nicht perfektes Tablet.
Daher noch kurz ein paar Pro und Contras.
PRO:
Guter Lieferumfang
Stylus Pen zum Zeichnen
Vorinstallierte Zeichen App, auch mit Fingern bedienbar!
Anschlussmglichkeit fr externe Tastatur
bereits neuer USB C Standard
Speicher Erweiterung mglich mit micro SD
Knapp 25GB freier interner Speicher
aktuelles und sauberes Android 7.0
keine Bloatware oder Malware im Test gefunden
Anschlussmglichkeit an externe Gerte mit micro HDMI
10″ IPS Display, Optimierung mit Mira Vision mglich
Touch Screen reagiert gut
Akku Laufzeit von mehreren Stunden je nach eingestellter Helligkeit
Contra/Verbesserungsbedarf:
-Display Schutzfolie zerkratzt bei Verwendung des Stylus Pen
-Stylus Pen kratzt auf der Oberflche hrbar
-mittelmiger bis unterdurchschnittlicher Klang der Lautsprecher, Blechern
-Klang ber 3,5 Klinke leider auch relativ schlecht
-schwaches GPS
-schwache Kameras (Bei schwachem licht sehr schlecht und hohes Bildrauschen) bei ausreichend Licht OK.
-fr aktuelle Spiele kaum geeignet
-Datenbertragung am PC mit USB C Kabel, BUG in der Software. bertragung war nicht mglich bei eingestellter Sprache (Deutsch-sterreich). Deutsch-Deutschland funktioniert!
-Bei eingestellter Sprache Deutsch-sterreich wird System.UI oft beendet
-mittelmiger WiFi Empfang
-mitgeliefertes Case wird nicht gut zusammengehalten (kein Gummiband)
-trotz USB C langsamer Datentransfer
Alles in allem erfllt bei mir das Tablet das was ich erwartet habe. Daher ist mir das Tablet gute 4 Sterne Wert!
As a bonus it is well spec’ed android tablet that means I can use it for a whole lot of other things too.
Price is right – For being able to see my digital drawings on the thing I actually am drawing on, with out having to purchase additional accessories, makes this exactly what I wanted, the next viable option in tablets I was looking at was well over 100$ more so price is good.
Screen – Large, very crisp and clear.
Accessories – Comes with a case, screen protector and pen. Perfect would have also included a drawing glove but for an additional 7$ I got my own.
Charge – I’ve had this thing off charge for many hours, watching Netflix and drawing on it and the battery kept going and going.
Cons:
Pen – Not sure if its the pen, or perhaps the screen protector, but drawing can feel scratchy at time. Not so much that I’d send it back but enough to notice.
USB C – Some people might like this but since I only currently own devices that are micro USB charged I have exactly 0 USB C chargers laying around meaning the one that came with the tablet is the only one I currently own. And its short. Making it a pain to charge and use at the same time. I didn’t see that it was USB C in the ad or I would have purchased additional cables when I bought this.
Weight – Its heavy.
Case – Free case is nice in concept but not the most practical in use. Trying to access the settings or notifications on the tablet when its in the case is a bit annoying as the case goes up to the edge of the screen making it hard to swipe down to pull down the menu.
Speakers – Watching movies/videos on this tablet are very tin-y. Earphones or external speakers are recommended.
Overall I’d recommend. All of my cons are small tiny nitpicks and honestly I’d still buy this tablet again even with them, its just things I’d wish I’d known.
Bought as a gift seems to work well and has the drawing app
Cons: tiny sliver(1-2mm) on far right of screen that seems to wrap colors from whats displayed on the left side, Lack of specs on tablet in booklet, No info on pen/pen battery life.
This was purchased for my teenage daughter to replace a dragon touch x10 tablet she received for Christmas 2016. It arrived about 3 days ago and has barely left her hands since. Charged to 100% the first afternoon it is only now at 5%. The case is sturdy and looks nice. It has a wrap around flap that velcros underneath of the tablet to keep it secured. On the back is a pleather flap for tucking the bottom of the case into to turn it into a stand. Not sure how well that flap will hold up over time. There is a magnet on the bottom for the pen as well as a loop at the top to secure it when traveling. The pen has a nice weight to it for drawing. There is a powerlight and up and down buttons to adjust sensitivity on the pen. I’m not sure if they do anything else. When you receive the tablet there is a small booklet enclosed. Unfortunately you will find more specs in the amazon listing than in the booklet that’s included. It is in several languages and tells you how to power the tablet on and off and includes diagrams for different port/cord connections but no specs at all. Apart from a photo showing that the pen is included there is zero information about it. The light on it will go off and it will stop working after 10-30 minutes. Sticking it to the magnet makes it start working again after a few seconds. I would really have liked more information on the pen itself. Does it charge only on the magnet or also when in the loop? How long should it be left for a full charge? What’s the expected battery life when charged fully? We’ve googled and checked the company website but haven’t been able to find anymore information anywhere.. which also makes me wonder if at some point it got lost or stopped charging would we be able to order a replacement? Since the pen is what really sets this tablet apart from others in the price range it would be a shame not to be able to replace it if needed.
My daughter is somewhat artistic and enjoyed drawing and coloring little characters the old fashioned way in notebooks in her free time but had never been able to translate any of her artistic skills to digital mediums. Anyone who has ever dealt with trying to trying to draw by mouse or touchpad or even get a decent signature with one of those store pen pads will understand the frustration. This pen tablet combo allowed her to make that transition easily out of the box. The preinstalled art app is called autodesk sketchbook. You are able to use layers and have several tools available as it comes but you can also upgrade the app for $5 to add more functionality, tools, and brushes with previews. The pen works really well with the app and it’s adjustable sensitivity comes in handy here. On higher sensitivities you are able to use brush strokes or airbrushing for example by moving it above the surface without touching the tablet. If you use recent photoshop though it doesn’t have 3d or custom brushes but I suppose you could always use photoshop app with it if you needed more. All in all it’s a great starter option for anyone wanting to play with digital mediums without having to commit to a high cost graphics tablet or sacrifice the other functions of a regular tablet. Nothing comparable in the price range.
