Artist review: Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro with Xiaomi Focus Pen

Pressure sensitivity is on par with Apple Pencil but there's no tilt sensitivity, and brushes that use tilt are affected.

Forgot to mention that Android 14 has locked the Android/data folder where Infinite Painter artworks are saved to. So to backup Infinite Painter artworks, one has to connect the tablet to a computer instead of relying on backup options available from HyperOS. Also the three backup options (Xiaomi Cloud, Google Drive, external storage) DO NOT seem to backup EVERYTHING.

[@Caradepotooo]

Nice review as usual. 6S user here. I think the cause of disconnections are due to the magnetic cover, when the front cover is attached to the back of the tablet: if you slightly detach it the pen works again. Best wishes from Spain.-

[@mr.gamerzz5694]

Definitely want to see you reviewing it for note taking ❤

[@KINGT0MA]

Finally someone made a sketch review on this tablet! Hoping to see you do a review on Vivo Pad 3 pro then compare it with Xiaomi Pad 6s Pro before you sell it again😄

[@yusufdavid2256]

As usual, one of the best (if not the best) tablet reviewers, especially for art purposes.

[@user-pm7oy6th2p]

If you're experiencing connectivity issues with your Mi Pad 6/6s Pro smart pen, try removing any magnetic flaps or attachments from your case, as they can interfere with the smart pen's connectivity. This interference is a major design flaw, so removing magnetic items should resolve the problem.

i read pen's as... 😄

[@rukiroka1827]

I really didn't expect you to review this tablet this fast. Because I really want your opinion on drawing on this tablet. I'm right now looking too find a tablet. My choices right now are ipad air 11, tab s9 or this. I really want to know about the drawing experience. Currently using ipad 9th gen without apple official pen.

[@teohontech7141]

If you don’t consider your tablet to be slow, the low cost option is to buy the Apple Pencil rather than spend a lot more for a new tablet. Both iPad Air and Tab S9 are good as pens have tilt and pressure. Xiaomi pen does not have pressure. That is the main difference for drawing.

[@rukiroka1827]

​@@teohontech7141 This is also my options, unknowingly my 9th gen iPad is already good enough. The downside is it only have about 35GB of available space. I'm using my 10$ 3rd party pen which is usable for taking note. I can't compared with 1 gen Apple Pencil in terms of drawing because I never try it. Because I'm right taking seriously with my drawing and do want to do my drawing involving sketching, line art, coloring etc.

[@mightyaxis3123]

Talking tech while drawing like epic master piece also no cameraman bro how do you do that 😮.

[@teohontech7141]

I do it slowly 😂 and in this situation with lots of sweat

[@rahmatstyles4218]

Drawing on Medibang is a good decent app, infinite painter I had bad experience. Wanting to get this due to its capabilities & the price. If I want something near to Samsung Tab series, I would get this. Anyway, I also do enjoy watching you drawing & testing the device outdoors.

[@kyre7700]

Hello! i'd like to ask your opinion about which graphic tablet shouild I pick. My 2 options are XPPen Deco Pro and Huion Kamvas 16 (2021). I've always used one with no screen so I'd really like to try one, for this reason i'd like to know if, in terms of drawing, those 2 models would you just fine, so that i can pick the screen over the new technology that Xppen has

[@teohontech7141]

Drawing performance is good for both. So it’s just personal preference whether you want a display or not, and your budget, and how much table space you have

[@wesperitiochannel2309]

Not sure yet as I am currently renovating my new place so there's no space to review large items

[@kartikproduction13]

Do you really need pressure sensitivity pen for ipad can't I draw and paint with normaly stylus or third party pencils ?

[@teohontech7141]

Good question. For iPad, there are much cheaper third party pens with tilt support and palm rejection. Those work well. Pressure sensitivity is good for creating line variation, thin and thick lines. If your lines only have same thickness throughout, it will look boring, relatively speaking. Eg, Imagine creating calligraphy with brush vs ballpoint pen. I will make a video on this interesting question.

[@rosetzu_nagasawa]

as far as Xiaomi is concerned, you pen is ALREADY TILT, hence its confused. Try with the tablet in horizontal position, it might be more consistent that way. Once again, Chinese makers DON'T test their own product, they just ship them as they make them. Xiaomi is the WORST offender. Xiaomy Yi action camera was shipped with OUT OF FOCUS lens for an entire year before the problem was detected with NO PRODUCT RECALL / rectification. Give it one year or buy it used. THEN the firmware etc would have ironed out their beta runs.
