- WACOM PRO PEN 3 delivers precision drawing without needing a battery or bluetooth pairing
- WACOM MOVINKPAD 11 uses a matte screen that reduces glare and improves pen control significantly
- Android’s lack of Photoshop and Illustrator -Support Continued Mobile Creative Workflows in general
WACOMS MOVINKPAD 11 is an unusual addition to the Android tablet area, not because of its treatment strength or app ecosystem, but due to a prominent feature: support for WACOM PRO PEN 3.
According to PCWatchcosts this device just under 70,000 yen (about $ 471), making it cheaper than many competing tablets and includes the same pen technology that is trusted by professional artists.
Still, its appeal seems tailor -made to a very specific audience, and it’s worth asking if its forces really outweigh its compromises.
A well -known pen, now in an independent tablet
Movinpad 11 comes with WACOM PRO PEN 3, which, unlike many battery-powered settings, uses EMR (electromagnetic resonance) to achieve low latency, battery-free performance.
It has long been preferred by digital artists working with pen screens such as Cintiq and Intuos Pro.
Now, with this Android tablet, Wacom seems to target users who want to practice at the professional level of peninput without needing a full computer setup.
From a usability point of view, the experience is generally fluid, especially when using the drawing of apps such as Clip Studio Paint debut, which comes pre -installed.
However, the lack of Android versions of Adobe’s photo editing software remains a limitation for users who depend on tools such as Photoshop or Illustrator.
This device has an 11.45-inch screen with a resolution of 2200 x 1440, and it also uses a matte finish that resists glare and fingerprints.
This surface combined with Pro Pen 3’s fine pressure sensitivity gives a more natural sensation than the glossy panels found on many mainstream tablets.
For illustration software where Pen slides and surface resistance matters, this hardware combination is a great advantage.
But like an Android tablet, Movinkpad is 11 less impressive because it runs on a medium -sized Mediatek Helio G99 processor with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.
It is sufficient for drawing and basic multitasking, but not unusual.
Despite its prominent sales sites, Wacom’s software decisions are raising valid questions.
The custom interface, WACOM UX, allows quick access to a sketch -app called Wacom Canvas, even when the device is locked.
This can appeal to beginners eager to draw instantly, but the lack of biometric approval and wider Android productivity features can feel restrictive.
Likewise, although it is convenient that third-party ERR-PENN also works with the device, the software ecosystem around Android remains limited to serious graphic design software users.
Movinpad 11 feels more like it fills a niche, and neither stands like a powerful Android tablet, nor is it aimed at established professionals.
Instead, it is an accessible entry point for students and hobbyists in the hope of developing their skills using the same tools found in professional environments.
