Wacom enters mid-range segment with Movinkpad 11 Android tablet
The Movinkpad 11 bridges the gap between budget peripherals and high-end professional hardware, offering 8GB of memory and an 11.45-inch display for creators seeking dedicated digital art tools.
Wacom has released the Movinkpad 11, an 11.45-inch Android-based graphics tablet designed specifically for digital artists. Priced at US$500, the device positions itself as a mid-range option, sitting between low-cost alternatives and the company’s premium offerings. The tablet features 8GB of memory, 128GB of storage, and includes the Pro Pen 3 stylus as standard equipment.
The Japanese manufacturer, founded in 1983, has spent recent years iterating on its Movinkpad series to provide creators with dedicated hardware for digital illustration. The new model weighs 1.3 pounds and is battery-free, requiring a USB charger for operation. This design choice distinguishes it from standalone consumer tablets, aligning it more closely with traditional graphics tablet workflows while leveraging the Android operating system.
At US$500, the Movinkpad 11 occupies a distinct niche in the market. It is priced significantly higher than entry-level competitors such as the Huion Inspiroy H640P, which retails for approximately US$30, but remains well below high-end professional models. For comparison, Wacom’s own Movinkpad Pro 14, released last autumn, costs US$899 and features an OLED screen with 3K resolution. The device also competes with broader consumer tablets like the iPad, which can cost up to US$1,100, and professional displays such as the Cintiq Pro 27, which retails for US$3,500.
The hardware is accompanied by the Pro Pen 3, a 6.3-inch stylus featuring three programmable side buttons and customizable nibs. Wacom offers replacement nib packs for US$15, allowing users to adjust the tactile feel of the pen. The tablet runs on Android and can be synced to a Google account, facilitating the integration of creative materials. Security settings allow users to set an initial PIN, though this can be adjusted to a swipe or disabled entirely.
Software support includes Wacom Canvas, a free application providing basic digital art tools. Users seeking advanced features can opt for Clip Studio Paint, which is available via a one-time license fee that varies by version. The device is marketed toward graphic designers, cartoonists, animators, and video game designers, as well as traditional artists who use tablets for sketching before transferring work to paper or vice versa.
