ALBAWABA - XPPen, the Chinese Digital Art equipment company and Wacom competitor, has pulled the sheets today from its all-new Magic Drawing Pad, dubbed as the first professional mobile digital drawing tablet, claiming to open a new category in the industry while obviously taking hints from Apple’s iPad Pro.
- Stylus Pen
Branded as a “magic studio on the go”, the new Android-powered tablet, targets creatives and content creators, it features the world’s first 16k Pressure Levels stylus, X3 Pro Pencil, powered by a custom chip that is described by XPPen to have smart algorithms intended to improve stability and performance, it features a customizable side button and uses the infamous EMR Technology, which means no batteries involved and no pairing required, similar to professional drawing tablets like the Wacom Intuos and XPPen’s own Art Deco line-up, unlike the Apple Pencil which requires constant charging and an initial connection process and a sleek design with no buttons.
- Screen Display
The Magic Drawing Pad delivers a QHD (2160 x 1440) 3:2 aspect ratio display with a color accuracy of 109 percent sRGB, and a peak brightness of 360 nits, a number that falls in comparison with Apple’s 1600 nits bright Liquid Retina XDR. The X-Paper display, claims to have the feel and texture of real premium-paper crafted using AG etching technology, with a TÜV Rheinland certified blue-light protection.
- Storage, Battery and Other Features
The tablet comes with a single option of 256GBs of storage, expandable with a microSD port up to 512GBs, it has 8GBs of Ram, and an Octa-Core ARM G57 MC2 processor that’s performance is to be seen after it arrives to consumers and gets benchmarked. The battery has an 8000mAh capacity, which XPPen claims it can last up to 13 hours of use.

XPPen’s Magic Drawing Pad, sized at 279 x 192 x 6.9mm and weighing 599gs, is now pre-selling at a $499 price point, expected to ship on Jan. 30.
