A list of compatible android devices

Dear community, I need your help.

I was taking part in a disscussion, of wether there is a list of compatible devises or not. And there is! The List of Supported Tablets — Krita Manual 5.2.0 documentation

The problem is, that those on that list are graphic tablets and not android tablets. So I searched through the forum and web and did not find a list. Now I want to compile that list, so that we can update the documentation.

If you have an android tablet and krita runs on you device and your device is not already listed here, please reply to this topic in the following structure:

DEVICE:
| Brand | Modelname | has a stylus | stylus with pressure | stylus with tilt | drawing with touch supported | krita starts at least | ux (0-5) |

For example

DEVICE:
| Samsung | Galaxy tab s6 | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | 3 |

Just copy the example and edit it for your device.
Also feel free to reply if your android tablet does not support krita and is also not listed here.

If your android tablet is listed please react with a :+1: if you can confirm that entry and :-1: if you can not confirm.

If you want to list multiple devices reply multiple times or do multiple lines.

Thank you for your help!

There are talks to remove that page and instead continue it here in the forum as a wiki. It is here - A community curated list of working tablets with krita!

You can do the same for the android tablets

I would collect the data here and afterwards we can update the curated list.

| Samsung | Galaxy tab s7+ | yes | yes | yes |

Hi

You may want to add:

  • stylus pressure
  • user experience (from 0 to 5) because even if Krita start, if you only have 2GB ram with an old 2 core CPU you won’t draw a lot :slight_smile:

pressure sensitivity works well including the ability to adjust using curves.

experience is about 4

reason for lower rating

  1. interface needs overhaul
  2. brush could use more optimisation
  3. special effects need more GPU horsepower as even gaussian blurring is causing crash sometimes

It would have been better to edit your previous posting, to add the information to it. :wink:

| Samsung | Tab S7 | Yes | Yes | Yes | 4/5 |

It would be easier to read as a table like this:

Brand Modelname has a stylus stylus with pressure touch only supported ux (0-5)
Samsung Galaxy tab s6 yes yes yes yes 3
Samsung Galaxy tab s8 ultra yes yes yes yes 5
XpPen Magic Drawing Pad yes yes ? yes 2

Markdown format to get table :

| Brand | Modelname | has a stylus | stylus with pressure |touch only | supported | ux (0-5) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | 
| Samsung | Galaxy tab s6 | yes| yes | yes | yes | 3 |
| Samsung | Galaxy tab s8 ultra | yes | yes | yes | yes | 5 |
| XpPen | Magic Drawing Pad | yes | yes | ? | yes | 2 |

note: I’m not sure to understand the “touch only” meaning

Would “touch only” mean that there’s no keyboard? :thinking::person_shrugging:

I would suggest adding “tilt” function as a parameter.

| Brand | Modelname | has a stylus | stylus with pressure |touch only | supported | tilt supported | ux (0-5) |

In which case…

| Samsung | Tab S7 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | 4/5 |

p.s. - I had assumed “Touch only” meant it is possible to use Krita with the tablet even without a stylus. If that’s not what was meant, please clarify. Thx.

Has no stylus, but you can draw with your fingers in krita.

Okay, that’s a little different… many “pen” tablets (like many XP-Pen, Xencelabs, Huion models) have stylus-ONLY response, i.e., no finger touch.

Whereas screen tablets with a stylus (e.g., Samsung, etc.) have both touch and stylus response (sometimes configurable).

As such, perhaps what would be helpful is to reframe the category “touch only” into “touch supported?”

This way, when drawing comparisons (pun intended), this could provide for more meaningful insight and manage expectations for folks shopping for an input device.

That is what I am trying to do.

But I can not expect that every one writes it that way. So I opted for copy my line and I will create a table later with those lines.

Hi everyone.

-DEVICE:Tablet
-BRAND: Samsung
-MODEL NAME: Samsung Galaxy Tab S9FE
-STYLUS IN PACKAGE: Yes
-STYLUS WITH PRESSURE: Yes 4.096 pressure points
-STYLUS WITH TILT: Yes
-DRAWING WITH TOUCH SUPPORTED: Yes
-KRITA STARTS AT LEAST: 5.2.3

I feel great.
Obviously those who have the possibility get a galaxy tab S9 or S9 ultra.
Which are the top of the range.
But even with this, you will draw calmly.
I am very happy.
Together I covered a bloototh keyboard so that I have the ability to have shortcuts.
On Amazon you can find the case for the tablet together with the keyboard.
TOP.
Now I can draw anywhere.
Without the clutter of the laptop with all the power cables and the graphics tablet.
You can start the work outside and if you don’t finish it, you can then finish it at home. Fabulous!!
Obviously in my opinion many things for the tablet should be revised taking inspiration from other software, first and foremost Procreate.
Also because having the desktop layout on a tablet is not convenient.
While combining the touch of the tablet with your fingers together with the pen, you would get maximum usability.
Anyway, for the moment I’ve solved it with the Bluetooth keyboard.
The tablet with case and keyboard weighs 1,100kg and is very comfortable to carry anywhere even in a backpack.
:heart:
This is my complete kit.

And how I set up the program layout to draw vertically.

Keyboard merge helped me a lot.
On the left with the keyboard I set all the shortcuts so the work proceeds quickly.
Otherwise only with the touchscreen it would have been very problematic at the moment.
Another thing that should be reviewed is the touch of the palm of the hand.
As you can see in the video I posted as a demonstration, sometimes the touch of the palm of your hand takes you out of the action you are doing at that moment.
