Thanks for this! I always just used the in-built Samsung notes for my stuff, but on a whim I watched your video and decided to go with Bamboo Paper... OMG Best decision ever! Thanks!

Nice tablet. Any device that one can draw on and make art on should be able to handle something as simple as writing in my opinion. Great demo. ^_^ Thanks for showing us how it handles writing.

I think you should've taken a look at samsung notes as well. I think its the best note taking app available on Android, and it makes using the Galaxy Tab S3 really great.

[@yourappan]

Teoh, thanks for the great review. I was trying to find out if the Tab S3 supported palm rejection technology and your video answered that as well as what app would be best suited with the S Pen. I am going to purchase one right now. Thanks!!!

I need to make digital handwritten notes for my class, should I buy this or wait for the ipad 2018 model to hit retail and buy an apple pencil. Handwriting quality is my only priority....

[@SteveHarpsterDraws]

I just bought one this week. Any suggestions for a good case? Not planning on getting the keyboard.

[@teohyc]

It's best to get those that can prop up the tablet. I'm referring to those designed like the official Apple iPad cases.

[@shalimarxj1L0hq]

Now that I've had my tablet,not one illustrated but cheaper version.i can write quite flently on it at first I was not used to it.after 3 months off and on I can write and probably draw anything.so if you boughta tablet and don't feel with it writing.work on it.also in one note it helps to use columns before writing and erase them later if you like neatness.it really helps draw top bottom in a wild colour then 2 to 3 columns then erase rose when done.in time it's paper.

Tipp for you: Try Lecture Notes

[@doanvietanhcao3608]

Hi Did the display recognize your hand while you‘re taking notes?

[@WaskiSquirrel]

This is impressive. I've been disappointed with handwriting on the iPad. It is fairly intelligent about palm-rejection. But, I think I need a piece of software where I write in a magnified view. I wish iPad would take a pen like this one with the magnet.

[@teohyc]

+WaskiSquirrel The iPad Pro and Apple Pencil is also very good for taking notes. But more expensive of course.

[@dr.donnawalter4380]

Teoh Yi Chie - and you have a pleasant sounding voice which makes listening enjoyable. There are only a few reviewers like that which is a plus to add to the information you impart. Thank you.

[@michellegeorge1853]

Thank you for making this video. Which tablet is best for taking notes in grad school?

[@teohyc]

Any of the Samsung tablets that support S Pen are good. iPad 10.2 is good too (but there will be a gap between the pen tip/glass and the actual screen. For note taking, the iPad doesn't have any advantages over Samsung as note taking apps on Android are as good as those on iOS.

[@daverogers2240]

Hi Teoh, thanks for a great review. Can the writing be converted to text?

That is, that will give me a palm reject support.? Thanks for the comprehension.

[@teohyc]

Tab 3 or Tab S3? If latter, S Pen works. If your tablet does not come with stylus, it's not going to support stylus with palm rejection

Hi Teoh, Before I ask my question I must say that I absolutely love your videos and have learned a lot! Thank you so much! So on to my question. Have you tried an app called FiiNote for android phone or tablet? I'm using it on my Galaxy Note. I've been trying to find a good in depth review / tutorial of it but nobody seems to have any really good info on it. If you have used it, could you send a link to your video review? Thanks in advance.

+RED redstar That's an Android phone. For drawing, I suggest Adonit Jot Pro (one with disc tip) or for writing, Adonit Dash 2 or Adonit Snap

[@redlady120]

Teoh Yi Chie thank you so much. :) it's really a maze to chose which pen to use, what with all the ones out in the market. thanks again. :)

[@redlady120]

hi! hope you remember me. just got me an Adonit Snap. still trying to manage its uses. the great part is it is indeed responsive when used on the C9 Pro. :D the note-taking though is a challenge as it's difficult to make it legible. I use Squid too on my C9 Pro and Note 2(yeah! it still works). Not as polished as the SPen that it came with for notes but I think with time I can manage it. oh. if you can suggest too a note-taking app apart from Squid that would be dandy. thanks much again. :)

[@miseltoe1]

Ok thanks anyway :))

[@gunjanparashar]

which is better new ipad pro 10.5 and tab s3 if only note taking is the main objective . please suggest me one i prefer android so i am confused .

[@teohyc]

I feel that iPad Pro is better. But Samsung Tab S3 is quite good too, and more affordable.

[@zedrameses1564]

The Galaxy Tab S3 is really excellent for OneNote. I have big notebooks with many file attachments, and it works flawlessly and even faster than my Surface Pro 4 in opening and syncing OneNote. For long handwritten notes with sketches and equations, for me the S-Pen with the 0.7mm tip is way superior than Apple Pencil which has a bigger tip.

[@dontriston]

Hello! Thanks for your work. One question: to take notes and to write in the tablet, which do you prefer, Samsung S3 Tab, or Huawey MediaPad 5 Media Lite? Thanks from Spain.

[@teohyc]

Huawei may be better because screen is slippery. When writing, you want to write fast. But Tab 33 is going to be more precise at capturing handwriting.

[@dontriston]

Thanks again. So...there isn´t a winner. Really the accuracy of the huawey in normal task is bad?

[@teohyc]

@@dontriston It's not bad. It's good. Just that the Samsung I feel is more accurate. You can see the example handwriting in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJW0g3WrqJyjprc

[@MegaMar20]

When it comes to capturing much of the details of one's real handwriting, how does tabs3 compare to ipad pro 12"2017? second generation. Which one is more representative of your real handwriting on paper? I tested Note8 and found oit captures 100% of my handwriting in normal to fast speed. But it's a phone not a notetaking tablet. I have seen you have done a Art centred comparison between tabs3 and ipad pro but i didn't see any points on handwriting/notetaking experience. I am really curious to know which tablet feels more comfortable to write on?

[@teohyc]

iPad Pro is excellent at taking notes. It's able to capture my handwriting very well. But handwriting accuracy also depends on the app used. Both Tab S3 and iPad Pro are good at taking notes. The main difference is the feel due to the pen design and the apps available on the platform.

[@HolidayGolightlyify]

A great video! Is it possible on Samsung to divide the screen into 2 parts so that you can open a pdf on one side of the screen and notes on the other side of the screen? Can it record lectures? And can you annotate pdfs? Thanks!!!

[@teohyc]

Yes, BUT it depends on whether the app you use. Not all apps support dual screen mode.

Thanks a lot for the answer! very kind of you. :)

[@teohyc]

I just bought a cheap SGD $10 case from eBay. It's those general flip case (looks like Apple iPad flip case)

[@lindarhoxha3500]

Teoh Yi Chie I wouldn't suggest to use cheap magnetic cases at least in my experience, it messed up with my display and touchscreen on my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 and after a month not using it touchscreen it got back to normal

[@archiveinstitute1499]

Thanks for the quick reply. My work involves journalism. Can I record a conversation on the S3 and write at the same time?

[@teohyc]

+Archive Institute I think you can probably do that with split screen with both apps running. But since it is split screen, you will be writing on a smaller area. You also need a mic. I'm not sure really because I don't record audio from tablets.

[@archiveinstitute1499]

Thanks.

[@richalwani]

Hi, I like your review. Do you have a specific review of the Inkredible Pro and especially with the Samsung Tab S3?

[@teohyc]

+Richard Alwani I don't have a review for that. Maybe in the future

[@richalwani]

Thanks. Just bought the S3 and the Inkredible. Looks like the S PEN ONLY function does not work, so can't use finger erase.

[@richalwani]

Hi. I got the Inkredible Pro on my Tab S3. Been having some really quirky issues with it. I don't know if you had experienced something similar. My issue is during writing, it will sometimes, just not pick up anything from the pen and it will take a lot of swirling the s pen around before this app picks up the 'signal' and continue to write. I have complained to them and they have asked me to do a couple of things to diagnose, but I don't think they understand the issue clearly.

[@teohyc]

Does the problem only happen with Inkredible Pro? I did not have that problem with Inkredible, although I have it with Medibang Paint Pro on rare occasions. Try Samsung Notes and Squid apps too. Samsung Notes is good for taking notes too, and there should be no problems.

[@richalwani]

Teoh Yi Chie Yes only with Inkredible. I got the Squid and bought the tools but not the subscription. I really like it. But I do miss the writing instruments offered by Inkredible. And the look of the paper. Bought the Bamboo as well but not so impressed with it. Too basic.

[@elcangrivas]

Can you do a New top 5 or 10 best stylus for iPad? I want a stylus to take notes in a iPad Air 2, I see one of your videos and I love the Adonit Pixel, but in your review you don’t talk a lot of note taking, I know the adonit is a little bit pricey but I want the best stylus, cause I don’t want pay for something that doesn’t work good in all aspects. Hope you make an update in that! Thank u!

[@teohyc]

Best stylus for taking notes are those small hard tips that allows one to write fast. There's Adonit Dash 3, Adonit Snap. However, there can be parallax DEPENDING on the tablet that you use, and also the orientation of the tablet, e.g. landscape vs portrait.

[@elcangrivas]

Teoh Yi Chie So the Adonit Dash or snap are better than the adonit pixel to take notes? I have a iPad Air 2, I want the stylus cause I don’t wanna have to use notebooks anymore, that’s why I want the best

[@teohyc]

The best would be Adonit Pixel, but that's also the most expensive. Please check which apps are supported by Adonit Pixel on their website Adonit.net. Apps that are supported are more accurate, those are usually the graphic drawing apps. Adonit Dash 3 and Snap however work on all apps, but there might be parallax depending on the app. Which is why I can't answer what is the best because Pen A with App A may be best, but you may be using Pen A with App C, or Pen B with App D. That's the state of the situation right now with iPad non-Pro and these styluses.

[@elcangrivas]

Teoh Yi Chie Thanks a lot for the answers! You have a new subscriber!

[@eXBouncers]

Can you please test how accurate the S Pen is on the Yoga Book and if it will even work?? Please! Yoga book pen has been giving me random jitters while I'm writing and I need to write notes in college.

Hi Thanks for the video. I have some questions:- 1)i was looking for a tablet for note taking, but while taking notes, i kind of do a lot of undoing and redoing, so is there any app on s3 which has shortcuts that i can customise for it?? 2) Will the battery last if i take notes continuesly for a day on s3 since l am a med student and there's a lot of note taking to be done??? 3) best stylus and apps (considering shortcut features on stylus and app) for note taking on ipad pro??? 4) I had tabA with spen but the problem was when I would rest my palm on the screen and write notes l would frequently touch back button and everything would close. Do you find that problem too with tab s3???

[@teohyc]

+Nudhair Ahmed 1. Some apps have the undo button on the screen. 2. Battery should last whole day, 10 hours or more. It can charge 1% per minute so it should not be a problem even when battery is low. 3. iPad Pro best stylus is the Apple Pencil. There a lot of good apps on iPad. Wacom Bamboo Paper, Penultimate. 4. I always turn the tablet upside down when taking notes to prevent touching the back button.

+Zayce Stark Apple Pencil has less lag, but it really depends on the graphic app that you use.

[@eXBouncers]

What is the difference between the Galaxy Tab S3(SM-T820) and the Galaxy Tab A(SM-P580)? I am looking for a tablet for mostly note taking, reading etext and watching videos, not much gaming or intense use. The Tab A is a lot cheaper than the Tab 3 which makes me question the the main differences. The only reason I'm leaning towards the Tab S3 is because the pen looks more comfortable since it's thicker. Thanks

[@teohyc]

Tab A's specifications aren't as good as Tab S3. And the pen is thinner. Tab S3 pen is more comfortable to use.

[@drnr15]

Is pen is supported by s2tab

Tab S3 has good battery life. Check out iPad 2018 and Apple Pencil too. Price is quite close to Tab S3

[@Dapplewh]

I'm on a budget.. what tablet would you recommend that I can use to take notes?

[@teohyc]

+Dapplewh If you need pressure sensitivity, then Yoga Book or Samsung Tab S3 but they are more expensive. For less expensive options, there are many and the differences among them aren't bit. You can only use capacitive styluses. The ones I recommend for note taking would be Adonit Dash 2 or Adonit Snap

Would you recommend getting the Samsung tablet or a regular iPad and the Adonit pixel?

[@teohyc]

Samsung Tab S3 with S Pen. It's more accurate. Has good pressure sensitivity, flawless palm rejection, ability to expand storage via microSD card, battery does not require charging, and the drawing apps are as good as iOS apps, and it's cheaper (I think) because the S Pen is included.

Tab S3. Im using it for my lectures. productivity wise, i believe it's more than the ipad. it could meet my everyday pen and paper needs and yeah go paperless lol. im using one note for its platform compatibility and versatility. expandable memory for me is very important too!

[@prfgee8788]

How accurately does the Tablet convert your handwriting to Texts when you choose to use handwriting rather than keyboard for composing texts? My Note 10.1 2014 tablet still serves me well but I am thinking of upgrading.

[@teohyc]

It can capture handwriting quite well with the S Pen, depending on the app that you use of course. I use Wacom Bamboo Paper app for writing and it works really well for note taking. I'm not sure of any Android app that convert handwriting to digital text though. Do you have any recommendation?

[@prfgee8788]

Thanks for your reply. I use FiiNote on android and it does some kind of character recognition on my handwriting and then it comes out as proper Font. It does a pretty good job but does make mistakes that slows me down when writing. I am hoping the TAB S3 will do a better job to minimize the mistakes cos I write a lot. Thank you.

[@gunjanparashar]

if note taking is the only purpose which one you will suggest tab s3 vs new ipad pro 10.5 . difficult to come to conclusion please help. which is one is more closer to paper leaving the extra feature of s pen i.e always connected , no battery etc . i can manage all the cons if it is close to real paper

[@teohyc]

+gunjan parashar If you want close to paper. You can just get a matte screen protector that makes it feel like you are writing on paper. As for whether S3 or iPad Pro is better. I would say iPad Pro may be slightly better because the refresh rate makes the strokes appearing more instant. As for accuracy, both tablets are very accurate. If you can, try them out at the store.

[@gunjanparashar]

Teoh Yi Chie thank you

[@kashour555]

Can I use the prn to make notes on PDF documents?

[@laululla]

This question is important. I belive most students make notes on lectures material, mostly pdf:s or power points

[@WR88IcZw]

Can you turn off pressure sensitivity in the tablet?? And can you write on the powerpoint app?? I have a Surface Pro 3 and I write on OneNote, it is the best software for me according to the quality of the handwriting, but I don't like that it is impossible to get a continous document like word or powerpoint. But word and powerpoint don't have the option to turn off pressure sensitivity (I don't like pressure sensitivity and the quality is best for me without it), neither the surface has the option. I wish I could write on power point so my notes could be like a power point document and also without pressure sensitivity. Galaxy Tab S3 could meet my needs?? Thank you.

[@teohyc]

+WR88IcZw You cannot turn off pressure sensitivity on Tab S3. I'm also not sure if Microsoft Office apps are available on Android OS. I know they have Web apps though.

[@alexiamoreno1238]

Do you think it would be alright if a buy the s3, just to use netflix, spotify and do some homework in word? I don't want to buy a laptop because I have one and I don't use it very much so I want something not that expensive to do that stuff and take it with me...

[@teohyc]

Yeah, the S3 is powerful enough. I'm not sure about the user experience of using Word on a small screen. Should be alright.

[@obinamdupak2894]

You should have reviewed the handwriting along with your handwriting on real paper. Imo

[@rajsuthar999]

How about recording the screen lecture in real-time as video and sound? Is it possible ?

[@teohyc]

You need to find the right app to do that. It's not related to hardware

[@destinyovbiebo8988]

You can use icecream screen recorder for that

[@flaviorotellini9386]

Is it possible to download the app "Nebo MyScript" on it? It would be great !

[@teohyc]

You've got to search the Google Playstore for it. If it's there, it can be installed.

[@starr8111]

Somebody answer plz which 1 was the best app and what pen did he have

[@teohyc]

Best pen is the S Pen that comes with it. Good apps you can try are ArtFlow, Sketchbook and Medibang Paint Pro

[@jael2236]

i have this tablet already, but it seems like there no great note taking app in playstore should i buy an ipad? or get a 2 in 1 laptop?

[@teohyc]

Tried OneNote, Inkcredible, Wacom Bamboo Paper, Squid?

[@stayingbyskz]

Does the S Pen work for Samsung Tab E?

[@tristanhall5971]

So would you get the Tab S3 or Yoga Book Android? as overall tablet and note taking

[@teohyc]

If my primary use is for taking notes, Yoga Book is more accurate. Samsung Tab S3 is also good at taking note, and is a better general tablet.

[@tristanhall5971]

Teoh Yi Chie good to know, thank you.

[@amzy3142]

Evernote?

[@bleexrossignol9782]

Hello. In 2019, galaxy tab S3 or S4 for handwritting ? Is the spen integration different ?

[@teohyc]

It's the same. They perform similarly.

[@siraf4496]

Can you suggest a budget tablet pc for drawing??need help

[@teohyc]

Maybe Samsung Tab S2 with S Pen. Most budget tablets don't have active styluses, hence no palm rejection and pressure sensitivity.

[@siraf4496]

Tq very much

[@rnronie38]

Does it support palm rejection? And if yes then how good is it? Is it better than ipad pro or less better or equal?

[@teohyc]

There is palm rejection. Performs about the same as Apple Pencil

[@er.sh.b.rranjan138]

Can we use this tablet with laptop for teaching students?

[@teohyc]

Not sure about that. You may want to research streaming apps that run on Android.

[@welsh2266]

So how about using this tablet for school work? Is it good for that?

[@teohyc]

Depends on what type of work you do in school. For typing long periods, it would be better to get a dedicated keyboard, or get their keyboard cover. Overall, Android can do lots of things. I like that you can use the Tab S3 as an external hard drive to store files. You can also expand the storage with external microSD card to an extra 200gb++.

[@welsh2266]

Teoh Yi Chie Samsung have a video out called "how to master lectures" & I was wandering hiw this tablet competes with the ipad pro during lectures. like in the video the guy is pulling things from the lecture onto his screen & I was wandering how? is this as good as the ipad pro when it comes to taking notes, letter writing, inserting pictures & stuff like that.

[@teohyc]

The Tab S3 can do whatever the iPad can do in the classroom situation. iPad Pro writing experience is going to be better but Tab S3 is quite good too. iPad Pro (generation 2) is more expensive though. If you can find an older brand new model or refurbished model ( www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad/ipad_pro_97/wi_fi ) at good price, the iPad Pro is a better buy. But the Apple Pencil is extra USD $100. And there is no way to expand external storage.

[@maddiemb4268]

Try google keep notes. I really loved that aap
