Huion used IFA 2026 to show how broadly its creative hardware lineup now stretches, from large professional drawing displays to smart notebooks and fully standalone Android tablets.
During our visit to the booth, the company demonstrated three notably different products: the Kamvas Pro 27, a large pen display aimed at professional artists; Huion Note, which digitizes handwriting on real paper; and the upcoming Kamvas Pad 12, a standalone Android drawing tablet designed to provide a more paper-like creative experience without requiring a computer.
Kamvas Pro 27 targets professional artists
The first product shown to us was Huion’s 27-inch professional drawing display.
The model demonstrated at the booth corresponds to the Kamvas Pro 27, which offers a large 4K canvas and multi-touch interaction. Huion equips it with two pens, the PW600 and slimmer PW600S, both based on PenTech 4.0.
One of the key specifications highlighted during the demonstration was 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity.
Huion says the 16K system allows the pen to distinguish smaller differences in pressure, helping artists achieve smoother transitions between light and heavy strokes and more precise shading.
The 27-inch version shown at IFA also supports multi-touch, making it possible to interact with the canvas using gestures in addition to the pen.
A large display designed for serious creative work
Huion positions the Kamvas Pro 27 primarily for professional artists and designers.
The display offers a 3840 × 2160 4K resolution, a 27-inch IPS panel and support for a wide range of color spaces. The newer 144Hz version also adds a high refresh rate, although the booth presentation did not specify whether the exact unit shown was the standard or 144Hz variant, so it is safer not to assume that detail from the demonstration alone.
The representative described use cases including illustration, sketching, cartoon work and other professional artwork.
Unlike a standalone tablet, this class of Kamvas display must be connected to a computer or compatible device to operate.
Huion Note keeps the feel of real paper
The second product was very different.
Huion Note is a smart digital notebook designed for people who still prefer writing on actual paper but also want a digital copy of their notes.
Anything written in the notebook can be synchronized to the Huion Note app on a smartphone, creating an electronic version of handwritten notes while preserving the traditional paper experience.
That is particularly useful for meetings, classes or anyone who prefers handwriting but does not want to manually scan or retype notes later.
Notes can sync in real time or be stored offline
Huion Note supports both live synchronization and offline storage.
When connected to the app, handwriting can appear on the phone in real time. If the notebook is used without the app connected, it can store up to 50 pages internally and synchronize them later.
The device records handwriting as vector lines and can export notes as PDFs for later editing or sharing.
It can also switch into a pen-tablet mode when connected to a computer, adding another use case for artists.
A more affordable entry point
At the booth, the Huion representative positioned this part of the lineup as a more accessible option than the company's large professional pen displays.
The representative mentioned a price of around €200 for the product being discussed and described it as a strong seller on Amazon.
Because that exact Amazon ranking and booth price were presented verbally and can vary by market and timing, they should be treated as booth-provided information rather than permanent specifications.
Kamvas Pad 12 is the more interesting new launch
The third device was arguably the most interesting because it represents a different direction for Huion.
The company showed us an upcoming standalone drawing tablet, which has now been identified as the Kamvas Pad 12.
Unlike traditional Kamvas displays, it does not need to be connected to a PC or laptop.
It runs Android 16 directly on the device and includes access to Android drawing and note-taking applications through Google Play.
At the booth, Huion told us the product would launch globally on September 17.
A paper-like surface without needing a computer
The Kamvas Pad 12 uses Huion’s Canvas Glass 3.0, with a nano-etched surface designed to provide a more paper-like feeling while drawing.
The tablet combines that textured surface with PenTech 4.0 and 16K pressure sensitivity, aiming to provide a more natural pen-on-paper feel than a conventional glossy tablet display.
The 12.2-inch screen uses a 3:2 aspect ratio and 2K+ resolution, giving artists more vertical workspace than a typical 16:9 tablet.
It also comes with several creative apps preinstalled, including HiPaint, Clip Studio Paint, ibisPaint X, MediBang Paint and Huion Note.
Huion is covering three very different creative workflows
The most interesting thing about Huion’s IFA 2026 showcase was the contrast between the products.
The Kamvas Pro 27 is clearly aimed at professional desktop work where screen size, color and precision matter most.
Huion Note keeps the familiar experience of pen and real paper while quietly creating a digital copy in the background.
And the Kamvas Pad 12 moves Huion further into standalone creative hardware, giving artists a portable Android device that can be used without a computer.
Together, those products show Huion moving beyond a single category of drawing tablets and trying to cover the full creative workflow, from handwritten notes to professional studio illustration.

Is the 16K pressure sensitivity actually noticeable tho? Feels like a buzzword. And 144Hz on a 27in 4K? who can drive that without a monster GPU, temps, power issues...?
wow didnt expect Huion to cover paper all the way to pro 4K displays. Kamvas Pad 12 looks cool though, if battery life and latency are decent then... excited but skeptical.
