- The Wacom Pro Pen 3 offers precision drawing without the need for a battery or a Bluetooth couple
- Wacom Movinkpad 11 uses a matte screen that reduces dazzling and considerably improves pen control
- The lack of Android assistance of Photoshop and Illustrator continues to limit the creative mobile workflows overall
Movinkpad 11 of Wacom is an unusual addition to the Android tablet space, not because of its processing power ecosystem or its application, but due to an exceptional characteristic: management of the Wacom Pro Pen 3.
According to PcwatchThis device costs a little less than 70,000 yen (around $ 471), which makes it cheaper than many competing tablets, and includes the same pen technology faithful to professional artists.
However, its attraction seems adapted to a very specific audience, and it is worth wondering if his forces really prevail over his compromises.
A familiar pen, now in an autonomous tablet
The Movinkpad 11 comes with the Wacom Pro Pen 3, which, unlike many options powered by battery, uses the DME (electromagnetic resonance) to obtain performance without battery with low latency.
It has long been favored by digital artists working with pen screens such as the Cintiq and Intuos Pro.
Now, with this Android tablet, Wacom seems to target users who wish to practice the input of the professional level pen without the need for a complete computer configuration.
From the point of view of conviviality, the experience is generally fluid, especially when you use drawing applications like clip studio Paint Bearfing, which is preinstalled.
However, the lack of Android versions of Adobe’s photo editing software remains a limitation for users who rely on tools like 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 which resists glare and fingerprints.
This surface, combined with the sensitivity to the fine pressure of the pro Pen 3, offers a more natural sensation than the brilliant panels found on many general public tablets.
For illustration software, where the pen slides and surface resistance, this hardware combination is a major advantage.
But as an Android tablet, the Movinkpad 11 is less impressive because it works on a Mediatek Helio G99 Midragan Mediatek processor with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.
This is enough for basic drawing and multitasking, but not exceptional.
Despite its protruding sales arguments, Wacom’s software decisions raise valid questions.
The personalized interface, Wacom UX, allows quick access to a sketch application called Wacom Canvas, even when the device is locked.
This could appeal to beginners eager to draw instantly, but the lack of biometric authentication and wider Android productivity features may seem restrictive.
Likewise, although it is practical that the third -party DME pens also operate with the device, the Software Ecosystem surrounding Android remains limited for serious graphic design software users.
The Movinkpad 11 has the impression of filling a niche and does not present itself as a powerful Android tablet, or established professionals.
Instead, this is an accessible entry point for students and amateurs in the hope of developing their skills by using the same tools found in professional environments.
