The Best Android Tablets for Drawing and Illustration

If you’re looking for an Android tablet you can draw or sketch on here is a list of tablets with pen digitizers that are great for digital art.

1. Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5″

This is the top of the line Galaxy tablet by Samsung. It’s also the best Android tablet available if you’re looking to draw or illustrate on it.

Price: $649.99 See it on Amazon

2. Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7″

Last year's model but still really really good. If you're looking to save a little money but get a really good device this is a good one to look at.

Price: $449.00 See it on Amazon

3. Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen 10.1″

This is the low end version of Samsung's tablets. The price is good but the screen is a much lower resolution and generally the specs aren't as good but the drawing tech is good and not a bad inexpensive alternative.

Price: $269.94 See it on Amazon

Others I haven't tested

ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 (Z500M)

A really nice tablet at a really nice price. The Zenstylus is sold separately (It's about $40). The one catch is that the tests I've seen of the pen are really disappointing. A lot of jitter an inaccuracy. Probably fine for taking notes but also frustrating if you're drawing.

Price: $289.00 See it on Amazon

Huawei MediaPad M5 Pro

This looks promising. I haven't seen much about the stylus quality but the scribblings I've seen in other reviews look OK. Everything else about this tablet look good to, especially for the price. One thing to keep in mind is that only the Pro version can use the stylus.

Price: $429.99 See it on Amazon
