If it's only about note taking, then there is no competition, nothing can beat Samsung tablets, whether it's S9, or even older S6 Lite. The soft feeling of the pen, the flawless writing experience, the no needing of charging the pencil for writing, the excellent Samsung notes, the extra features like translating any text (including images) by hovering the pencil on the text, included pen in box, ... and the list can go on.
And I am saying it after using iPad Pro, Galaxy tab and Surface devices. There is absolutely no competition.
was thinking about switching to surface pro because of the better multi task functionalities but i love the writing experience on my old tab s3. The S Pen feels so natural to write.
No, samsung should be the worst, all samsung tablets (wacom tech) are suffer from precision degrading by time and off center, the further away from center, the inaccurate it is, that's trade off of passive pen (no battery), which is pain in the ass as not having a calibration tool.
@@UP209D didnt notice any degrading on my 5 yo tab s3. But i agree on the edges the precision isnt perfect. But not so much that its affecting my daily writing.
Ordered tab s6 lite for 200$. 😊
@@UP209DI thought i was just imagining it on my tab s7 bec after 2yrs the pen i think has a delay after writing from the tip. Now I know why
Struggle is real....those retakes and edits u go through to make all these videos.....👍
Edits ?? Whats that 😂😂
🫤
I will share my experience with OP pad, hope it might help someone. I was looking for a tablet primarily for note taking, so handwriting experience was quite important for me. Long story short, I have sent mine back for a refund. Writing was absolutely impossible, I could literally see 3-4cm gap between the pen tip and line on the screen. Goodnotes was pretty much unusable on it, it would crash every time I tried to write and later it didn't even recognize the pen when it was connected. I would say that the OP pad is good for anything else than notetaking or painting. (For anyone interested, i have latency demonstration on my channel)
means oneplus pad doesn't support Goodnotes??
or you have a problem with your tab????
i was looking for a tab which i wanted to use for my study. Kindly help.
@@mdismail_02ojust use onenote, goodnotes is just bad on non IOS devices
Are you being serious ? Actually I am a medical student and primarily buying a tablet for notes taking , confused between Xiaomi Pad 6 and OP Pad ! But I was convinced because of larger screen display in OP to shell some more bucks to buy OnePlus ! If what u are saying is true then I will cancel my plan ..... please elaborate how bad it is
Thanks!
@@pritamshah6699if you can, get Samsung. Noone beats them in their pens and their tablet software in the Android Market.
I m from India and you making the perfect content for me as a student ❤
The video is not well edited! You are repeating yourself. Why you haven't cut it?! It's quite weird...
Thanks for making this type of videos....helps a lot for students..
Thanks for this great comparison 😊
conclusion:-Xiaomi pad 6 is best value for money tablet
This was a much awaited video. Thanks bro
Your work is Faar better than everyone out there. Keep it up bro. ❣️🔥🔥
Thanks alot.looking to buy my first tab for notes making. Really appreciate it 😊
Which one did u got
simply awesome, detail of this video, next level, all students must watch this before buying.
Thank you sir comparison does help 😊
thankyou for the video, you saved me so much time.
Great content. 🎉🎉
Could you please make a video on using Logseq app's Whiteboard on Xiaomi pad 6 for note taking?
12:15 The Xiaomi smart pen 1st generation is incompatible with the Pad 6. The Second generation is compatible with Xiaomi Pad 5 series or later. One other thing worth noting is that the Xiaomi Smart Pen buttons can actually be used in third party apps. They are mapped to page up and down and they have functions in some notetaking apps like notewise for example.
How's the note taking experience? How is the optimization? I heard it's really bad.
@@yukisong1259 Hi. It's Vader here. I have had the Pad 5 for over a year now and I have been using the Smart Pen second generation since release with my Pad 5 and the writing experience has been excellent! The latency has improved so much along with the accuracy and when comparing it with apple pencil's I've used, the Xiaomi writing experience is very comparable in my opinion. Despite it releasing just a year ago, app support is already great. I use notewise for note taking and it supports pretty much all the pen's features (buttons included). The Pad and Smart pen are simply unbeatable at this price point in my opinion.
@@yukisong1259 Our previous comment get deleted for some reason so here it is again: "Hi. It's Vader here.

@@yukisong1259no man it's really good but compared to Samsung notes which is designed for notetaking will take the crown no doubt however I bought mi pad6 and using it for last 6 months I use onenote and yeah my experince is awesome no lag nothing it's worth it Xiaomi is a new player in this field and it's already competing with samsungs best tablets ...in every aspect
I find notewise useless as it often fumbles in exporting the large documents....Flexcil app is far better
I bought Samsung tab s7+ when it was launched, it was the most satisfying purchase ever and it helped me a lot in my studies,note taking etc and ofcourse the display the sound everything is just perfect im using it till today still feels brand new💯
Awesome comparison. But its a shame that you compared S9 and not S9 FE since budget wise it is closer to the rest of competitors. But since ive seen that you do have experience with S9 FE would you still recommend Mi pad 6 as a budget option or would it be s9 FE? I especially ask about notetaking experience since some user report that S pen in S9 FE is only lag free in samsung notes app and is not as good in other apps as mi 6 pen is
He would most likely still recommend the xiaomi pad 6 since even against the FE, it's still a more affordable option with the added aspect that it provides more or just as much features as the FE. Also, the main feature about Samsung tablets is the usability of the Samsung Dex, which the Tab S9 FE doesn't have.
FE is not good, a classmate bought it for like 3 months using it normally and the motherboard burned out😂
@@azriel08 fe do have samsung dex
@@edogawaconan4869 yeah it can happen to any device, one instance doesn't usually tell us the whole story right?
@@azriel08 I have heard that the pencil has some real problem in xiaomi pad 6, the lines that comes out of it are shaky and not sharp which honestly imho takes it out of the competition if you are looking for taking notes and drawing during note taking.
can u plz give a review about redmi pad se about note taking and digital art..i only have budget like that..badly needed ..hope to see the revies soon...take love!
Please suggest me a pencil with palm rejection for a realme pad mini.

What is nebo bro and please could you share the experience of Oneplus pad usage does it really good for note taking and battery backup please share me about review bcoz as a student I'm thinking about buying the OnePlus pad for my note taking and one more thing does it any software like Green line after updating the software and does it have Palm rejection while note taking please share me your review about OnePlus pad ASAP...🙏🙏🙏
Hey! R ur hands touched the screen while u taking the notes? I just wondering if i can lay down my hands on the screen, r the tablet gonna respond it? Or it's just response to the pen?
You can. There is palm rejection for tablets advertised with their own pens.

One plus pad stylus alternative for oneplus stylus could be????
Can you make a video about the vigger differences between ios and android, more precisely samsung tabs and ipads? I've always been a samsung user but for the past months I've been considering to buy and Ipad m2 to start taking art more serious (for procreate, procreate dreams an video editing).

Just added. You can get the book "Keys to Drawing" by Bert Dodson to learn drawing
@@teohontech7141plz do check all the apple pencil alternative u have on xiaomi pad 6.
Its currently on sale in india n is available for just over 250usd
@@teohontech7141i m looking for xiaomi pencil 2 alternative just like thousands of other student 🥲
Yep, if you can't buy the book there's free videos out there. There are online courses and books that are costly but there more in depth and a little bit faster progression through the beginning of your journey and will still be good for ''experts'' out there. Courses for traditional and Digital art, all types of art styles. You don't need a good device or materials to start drawing either, but it does bring a better effective and performing experience.
The Edit 😍
loved the comparisons. Also, I just recently got myself a Xiaomi Pad 6 so can you suggest some really good note taking apps?

Great reviews. Can you update recommendation specifically for note taking, ink to text use, incl recommendation for best apps ( one note, nebo)? I'm choosing between Samsung S9FE, Samsung 8, and Oneplus Pad w/stylus, all nearly same price for BF. I have oneplus 11 phone, so was thinking oneplus pad direct sync is a plus, but samsung has more apps, longer os update, SDXC card, etc. On note taking apps, consider MS one note, but willing to get premium subscription for another as i take lot of meeting and interview notes. Thanks for updating your comparison with this info
I recommend Samsung simply because there are more features. OnePlus Pad is a good tablet but there are many good tablets out there too and the main thing I like about it is the 7:5 aspect ratio.
Thanks, for note taking is Samsung S9FE good enough or will I see any important advantage with S9 11-inch over S9FE?
@@shreelatasuresh S9 will have more features. I talked about the differences in this video czcams.com/video/lZI9gB3siNs/video.html
Teoh Samsung galaxy s9 fe or fe+ is better than ipad 10th gen or may be upcoming 11th gen ipads?
Which is better for note taking as a University student of math department and animation(as side business, painting, video editing)?
pls help me to choose between these tablets.😊
If you don't have to use iPad exclusive app, there's not much compelling reason to go with iPad. Tab S9 FE has way more features than the base model iPad 10. iPad 11 will probably follow the same feature set as 10
I have the xiaoxin pad 2024 (from lenovo) because im a broke student, it cost me $150 and i love it!!
Bro.. which is the Best budget drawing tab?

Vary detailed review
I have an S22 Ultra and have written more than three pages on Samsung Notes. And I want in the middle of the second page to empty space and move everything under this space down so that I can write something I have forgotten. After searching and several attempts, I found only one and impractical way, which is that I identify the content and withdraw it unfortunately, and this is difficult and impractical. How can I do this so easily? I stopped writing with a pen because of this problem.
Hey!! Can any different pencil can use for oneplus pad, apart from stylo( oneplus pencil).. plzz reply
Only OnePlus Stylo works on OnePlus Pad
@@teohontech7141 ok, thanku for your reply
Were the non-edited parts left in on purpose? Still a great video
was wondering too
Mistakes 😂
Hm... I think huawei matepad 11 is the best for me. Its similar to xiaomi pad 6 but quite expensive and good thing about huawei matepad 11 it comes with M pencil like samsung but the M pencil is weird because it force ur tablet to use a bluetooth... But my user experience is as good as these tablet great for note taking too ❤
No google service tho
No Google service or else I'm def. gonna get Huawei with no doubts
do u recomend lenovo p12 pro?
As owner of mi pad 6 max and Lenovo p12 pro I'll recommend Lenovo, but it was broken after 3 months of using without any dropping.
If you could get the xiaomi pad 6 and the Oneplus Pad for the same price which would you recommend?
If they are the same price, I may go with OnePlus as I like the larger screen. But the 256GB to me is a bigger selling point as OnePlus Pad only has 128GB
@@teohontech7141 That makes sense, thanks for your response! Will definitely be keeping a close eye on these tablets as black Friday approaches
Dimensity 9000+ 3years Android and 4 years security updates are enough as the updates will surely make it better if one plus wants to evolve 🗿@@teohontech7141
Extremely Waiting Stylous pen giveaway for Xiaomi pad 6 from your side
Hi.can Samsung S9 tablets show "hovering dot"/"hovering ring" when the digital pen tip is very very close to the screen but does not touch it yet? It's important because sometimes when browsing internet, you need to hover the digital pen tip over the certain menu for it to open and show more options.
Yes it can, not only the high end S9 series but also the economic S6 lite
Yes. The Tab S Series has been doing that for many years.
Yes, even the old Samsung Tablets have this feature. I have an old Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 that has it.
Apple>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all the tabs
Yes
Can you tell my what the app note taking name...
I am using S8 tab for office purposes and reading as well as note taking. What I see is the Spen nib gets worn out too quickly. How it compares with Mi, Apple and OP? Feel free to drop ur suggestions.
If you refer to original S Pen with soft nib, that may wear out faster, especially if you also use it in a matte screen protector.
Apple, xiaomi and oneplus have plastic tip so are slightly more durable.
Anyway, you can find plastic tips for S Pen are very affordable prices. So pen tip wearing out should not be an issue unless they wear out so fast that changing them is an inconvenience
mi pad 6 with smart pen is selling in India in only 315 usd. Should i get it ?

Best edit HAHAHAHAHA I am laughing so hard but I do genuinely appreciate your job for making this video
On which of these tablets is it more comfortable to watch movies in terms of color rendering quality, in dark scenes the details are visible and the colors are not dull or faded?
The S9, but it is also a lot more expensive than the others.
Would it be possible to use the damsung pencil with the other two android tablets? Would it charge on the other tablets?
Samsung pen can only work on Samsung tablets
@@teohontech7141 how did you perform all your tests on one screen?
@@direnagbaba6394 I used Microsoft OneNote and the file was saved to the cloud. So I opened the same file each time with same app but with a different tablet
@@teohontech7141excellent reply. Thank you
tab s9 is huge!!!
Best format for note taking: OnePlus.
Best overall: Samsung S9 + Galaxy AI + Mate Screen Protection + SPen with a titanium tip
Best App: Notein + CamScanner
I must say that the 3/4 format is more comfortable for working with written documents and this is precisely what the new Xiaomi has adopted. The second thing I would like to have is a webcam positioned in the center of the screen or failing that a second camera on the shorter side of the tablet. With the current configuration, video calls between tablet and cell phone are very uncomfortable because the other person seems to be looking into the sky. I think that in 2024 Xiaomi will be the best tablet for taking notes because now it has the same processor as the Samsung S9 at a more affordable price in addition to the 3/4 format and 50 megapixel webcam
🎉🎉🎉
Which is better for note taking? Xiomi Pad 6 or Samsung Galaxy S9+?
I have S7 but I am done with Smart view everytime disconnected. I am confused between Xiaom pad 6 vs OP . but I have tried open a book in my Oneplus 8 pro by Oneplus's note but I can't . In OP pad Can You open any book in Oneplus's note to Take note on it !

Whic app you use to draw??@@teohontech7141
do not hope anything besides apple and samsung tablet wold get the job done seamlessy. i have the pad6 and it is pretty mediocre, perfectly alligned with the price tag!
What do u recommend to me from pad 6 and s9 fe ?
I feel mediocre is quite harsh maybe not the best for note taking but it fairs well along with the 144hz refresh rate, long battery life, fairly capable snapdragon 870, 8gb ram and nice display for that price is an amazing deal
If you want to play games, yes.

I bought Pad 6 & I can tell you writing experience on this device is quite satisfying ✍🏼

How's the optimization?

With xiaomi pad 6 max, does the bugger screen makes it's screen size make it "better" in term of writing and reading in landscape?
Am confused in between Xiaomi pad 6 vs 6 max as both are similar but ipad's screen size makes me feel it is better?
Just got pad5 for $206 and smart pen 2 for $55. Considering pad 6, but there is no much difference in specs compared it in versus. I am new in this pen style tablet and my primary use of this is to start scribbling to unleash the devil in me in the art of drawing. 🤣🤣🤣
Considering the price, not bad for starting a new hobby for an amateur like me.
U mean the Xiaomi pad?
Is it new or used ?
@@iMrGhost New! It is more expensive in my place 2nd hand in FB market. Maybe they didn't know the price drop. Mine came from Hong Kong Xiaomi Official Store. Ordered online in our local Amazon like shop. No tax and free shipping. BTW I am from Philippines.
@@iMrGhostI got OP pad 128 gb for 342 $ and I think it's a good option at this price point
Xiaomi pad 6 is just the right size for a tablet
Shouldn't the writing test be done on each tablet instead of all in one tablet? I know Apple and Samsung have a better compatibility with their pens and many features, am I wrong?
The tests were done on each tablet. After each test, I just use the next tablet to load the same file from cloud, and test with the next pen.
what if you need the color to very accurate, for design?
Tablets can't be colour calibrated so you'll have to use the default factory calibration
@@teohontech7141 which one you think is closer to true colors? Or are they all pretty accurate?
@@MarcosCruz If you look at 03:51 where all the displays are showing white, you can see the white looks different on all the tablets. So which one is considered accurate? It is difficult or impossible to tell unless you have a colour accurate reference (printout) to compare to.
Having said that, iPad colours look better to me. However, many people would say OLED displays from Samsung are better. I personally still prefer LCD.
Please give me one pen of Xiaomi pad pen ... I need it 😢
I personally dont like the "personality" that samsung pen creates.... I prefer the hard one like ipad
yes the oneplus has better hardware but where does that bring you when you dont have good software that you can mostly find on apple app store..... i love my droids but apple is on that next level and android has many years to catch up.
Great review as always. What a pity not to see Tab S6 lite, maybe best value for money?
Ehhh the s6 lite 2022 is quite meh now after the tab s9 fe released
Here, both are the same msrp and you're getting a sharper and generally better display and better latency

Hello sir i need OnePlus stylo it is not available any where, i am student. Please sell me your OnePlus stylo..
You should have thought about before buying OP pad. That stylus is always out of stock
You forget remarkable 2
Honestly, the handrwiting with Apple looks the worst. My personal ranking is Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Apple.
Personally, imo if you want a tablet for drawing and note taking, I would stay away from Samsung, as they are using wacom technology which is working based on electromagnet, the precision is affected by closed other magnet source like folio case, speaker, etc... and also can gradually offset by time. The thing is while on most of devices using wacom digitizer (windows os) there is always a calibration tool built in so that you can optimize the precision, while samsung tab firmware doesn't provide any, thus once it become in accurate, there is nothing can make it work properly again.
samsung release the calibration tool fr !!!
get another s pen 3 years down the road
God what is this Wacom thing man, never knew about it. I genuinely hope that it is fixed in s10 series.
Does that correct the problem? like i dont know one bit about this whole wacom thing so just asking@@lazyidealist
As far I know isn't Wacom really favored by artists?

@@teohontech7141 thanks, I found it is at notes mode, not notebook mode. So there is single page with unlimited size. If it was pages as at Samsung Notes, Goodnotes, Notability... NEBO would be best note taking app, because they have iOS and Android cross platform sync

how bad is onenote in samsung galaxy tablet? I hate the apple pencil on my ipad air 5 im thinking of returning. Because the wrtiting experience was better and way less delay on my ipad mini 5 with a FAKE apple pencil while I bought the official one on the ipad air 5 and it was not a really good experience.

OneNote works fine for me

No. The pens are usually not interchangeable across brands
@@teohontech7141 so how are you doing this with same tablet?
@@amitchoudhary9268 I'm using different pen on different tablets. Samsung pen on Samsung tablet. Xiaomi pen on Xiaomi tablet.
The Lenovo Active Pen 3* and the Precision Pen 2 work** with the Pad 5. It may or may not work on Pad 6. But they're very cheap compared to the originals. Pressure sensitivity works, buttons don't. Idk about what tilt does and haven't tested it.
* The Active Pen 3 uses a hard-to-find AAAA (not to confuse with AAA) battery and can't draw straight lines on Xiaomi. The lines get magically broke, even on Windows.
** You need to root your tab, get Xposed running and install an Xposed module "maxmipad" or alternatively install a Custom ROM because normally its vendor locked.
