Score: 73/100
Huion HS610
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Wacom Intuos Medium Bluetooth (CTL-6100WL) offers a larger active area than the Small models while retaining the 4096-level pressure pen, Bluetooth freedom and a solid software bundle. It is lightweight and portable but still suffers from an outdated micro-USB port, lack of tilt and a modest drawing surface for detailed illustration.
The Huion HS610 is a mid-sized wired graphics tablet with a 10 × 6.25-inch active area, battery-free stylus, 8192 pressure levels, tilt support and a touch-sensitive ring. It offers extensive shortcut keys and Android OTG capability but lacks wireless connectivity and full Android pressure support.
