How precise are the digitizer/S Pen?

[JaredTamana]

So the other day I got cheated out of a Wacom tablet on Kijiji. I saw a Note 8.0 for $50 CAD and was thinking maybe it could suit my needs instead. How precise is the digitizer, though? Since I'll be drawing with it, if it isn't precise, it's out the window for me. I've used Samsung's Tab line twice (Tab 2 and 3) and have been impressed neither time.

Also, the S Pen - it's pressure-sensitive, correct?

Thanks for your time!

Yes it is pressure sensitive, and a curate enough for some who draw on their tablet. The drawback is firmware. A tablet with 4.1.2 JB, will have accuracy, but after that you must re-align the spen once for it to recover back to proper alignment. Another option is to go with sphere kat custom kernel build and it will have the alignment fixed for you.
