There's no denying that in the last few years, we've seen a veritable explosion of pen and display tablets from competing companies. At this stage in the competitive game, the hardest part for creatives has been figuring out what makes one tablet better or different than another at each budget level.
Wacom recently expanded its lineup of entry-level pen tablets, adding the $600 Wacom One 13 Touch Tablet, the first pen display in its category to feature 10-finger multi-touch gestures.
XP-Pen has announced the second-generation, $599 Artist Pro 16 display tablet for artists and retouchers. The updated tablet boasts a 2.5K resolution with a stylus that leverages an X3 Pro Smart Chip with a "world-first" 16K pen pressure technology.
Wacom has announced four new Wacom One brand tablets designed for beginning artists seeking an affordable and portable pen tablet or display tablet solution for their creative work.
The Apple iPad rules the tablet space to the degree that there really aren't any true challengers despite attempts from the likes of Samsung and Lenovo. Xiaomi is also in that ring and is attempting to differentiate its Pad 6 by positioning it as a tool for "more effective work."
Pen display tablets have been getting better and more affordable, so it makes sense that all-in-one devices like the Huion Kamvas Studio 16 would follow the same path. But what makes this device a little different is it's a pro pen tablet made for designers, illustrators, and photographers to help them get their art created quickly and easily while also being a fully functional Windows PC.
Xencelabs has announced the Pen Display 24 Studio Series, a new drawing tablet combined with a display that competes directly with Wacom's Cintiq series.
Wacom's Cintiq Pro 27 might be expensive, but it is one of the most immersive, accurate, and stable display tablets ever.
The OnePlus 11 is now official, bringing the brand’s newest flagship phone to market, plus a debut tablet in the OnePlus Pad that also goes the flagship route.
There are now tons of pen tablet makers out there and the options have given new users far more power to choose from a wide variety of styles, features, and obviously prices. The new $40 Veikk Voila L gives beginners an impressively competent "bare-bones" pen tablet to learn on for scant little investment.
Anyone who has spent any extended time editing photos with a mouse will find that often, it's just not the best experience. That's why so many editors switch to a drawing tablet (also known as a pen tablet), but picking the best one has gotten surprisingly challenging in recent years.
The $199 Huion Inspiroy Giano is one of the largest Bluetooth 5.0 pen tablets currently available, and it has a drawing surface area of 13.6 by 8.5 inches (16 inches diagonally) making it an ideal tablet for creatives who need a larger area to work with while retouching or digitally painting on larger 4K and 8K displays.

When Apple announced their new M1-powered iPad Pro in April of 2021, I totally ignored it. I thought to myself, “Why in the world would anyone be willing to pay a grand for an iPad?!?”
Huion says its new $160 Inspiroy Dial 2 (Q630M) pen tablet is designed to enhance and improve every feature from the previous tablet and "boost efficiency of creatives to the next level." I think the company achieved that goal.
Huoin has announced the successor to the Inspiroy Dial Q620M: the Inspiroy Dial 2. The company says the new drawing tablet not only optimizes the design but also adds a second dial that it claims helps further improve productivity.
Graphics tablets come in all shapes, sizes, and prices, but until recently, there has been very little competition in the space. This left potential users with very few and often very expensive options. That's the market the Veikk VK2200 Pro enters and is trying to change.
When it comes to precision and professional image editing, nearly every working retoucher will tell you that a pen tablet is an absolute must-have tool, yet the entry cost of these tools can be a deterrent. Thankfully there are several entry-level tablets like the Veikk VK1060 that offer some professional-level features without breaking the bank.

The last few generations of iPad Pro were already powerful enough for serious photo editing, but the benefits of such a small and versatile device have never quite outweighed the cons of a tablet-based workflow. The 2021 iPad Pro -- with its M1 SOC, up to 16GB of RAM, Thunderbolt support, and mind-blowing miniLED display -- makes the best case yet for ditching your laptop. But even with all this power under the hood, it’s clear the iPad is still an accessory, not a laptop replacement.
We are all likely familiar with Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop as far as editing applications go and a lot of people love these apps for their versatility and powerful suite of features. But they do come with a price, and paying a fee isn't always what every photographer is looking for.
