The Lenovo Tab Plus TB351FU is one of the cheapest Android tablets with a true active pen and pen pressure for drawing and handwriting. But is it any good?
Specs:
Display: 11.5in 2000x1200 90hz IPS/400nits
Processor: Mediatek Helio G99
Ram: 8GB
Storage: 128/256gb (micro SD expansion)
Headphone jack: yes
Camera: 8MP front / rear
Speakers: JBL Speakers/24 bit support
Pen: Lenovo Stylus, 4096 levels
Music: Scarlet Fire - Otis McDonald (Youtube Audio Library)
Summary: this video is a review of the Lenovo TB351FU, one of the least expensive android tablets with true active stylus available domestically. This tablet is well built and has a solid feature set, but is held back by a lower end processor that makes it sluggish at times. The review is split into two parts, physical characteristics and drawing capability. The tablet is incredibly well built and has a great media consumption experience. There is a TON of bloatware.
The tablet's pen is a Lenovo stylus on the LPP 2.0 protocol, not compatible with any pen other than Lenovo specific. The pen pairs by Bluetooth for the button support and battery read out. Unfortunately the LPP Pen is not the greatest in terms of precision/response which can make drawing harder than it should be. Many drawing apps have a stabilization feature which is necessary to use in order to get clean lines. The experience results in a lot of undoing in order to get precise art. While sketching on this device is fine, it is not the greatest experience for doing more in depth artwork as every line will have some wobble unless extra care is taken, making it hard to work quickly.
I'm not exactly the best artist, but I do notice this, it reminds me of drawing on an older laptop with a early gen n-trig screen.
I had the best drawing results with Ibis Painter X and Clip Studio Paint
If art is the primary concern most new artists would be better suited with a dedicated drawing tablet (assuming they have a PC) or paying a bit more for a samsung with the wacom stylus.
