XP-Pen Deco 01 V3 notes

Overview

This is OK tablet that despite being released in 2025, uses an older generation of technology.

Basics

Compared Deco 01 V2

XP-Pen sells this tablet as an upgrade to the Deco 01 V2 - HOWEVER this looks to be the same exact tablet with the same exact pen and having the same exact drawing performance.

Android support

XP-Pen says that one clear improvement is that this tablet has better Android support. I did not find that to be the case. It had the same issues as I encountered with the Deco 01 V2.

Pens

P05 Pen pressure handling

The included pen has exactly the same as the old model and has the same high IAF.

Using with Android

XP-Pen says this tablet wil work with android devices.

However, my initial attempt at using this tablet with my android devices were unsuccessful. Despite using the XP-Pen companion android app, while the android device did recognize the tablet, all drawing was heavily distorted.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong or the fault lies elsewhere.

Better alternatives

A better choice in 2025 would be these tablets: Pen tablet recommendations (MEDIUM)
