Wacom Intuos Android Compatibility

Just yesterday, on the 5th, Wacom has made the move to make their tablets compatible with multiple Android devices. If you own the CTL4100 or CTL6100 model tablets, like the 'Intuos S' or 'Intuos M BT', you'll be able to connect (wired) directly to your phone and draw with your favorite drawing app, or just navigate through your phone.

With your phone and tablet always handy, you can create whenever inspiration strikes!

First, check to see if your Android device is compatible, and thus, which adapter you'll need:

* USB Connectivity must be changed within your Android settings
** Cursor changes to a Dot

Now that you know which port is on your phone, you can pick up one of these Wacom approved OTG USB adapters:

• CableCreation CC0018 / Type-C
• Rampow USB C to USB3.1 / Type-C
• StarTech UUSBOTGW / microUSB
• Ugreen10822 / microUSB
• Nonda MI22SGRN / Type-C
• Basesailor B07449RJV8 / Type-C

 

If everything checks out, you can go ahead and update the firmware on your tablet while it's plugged into your computer.

Finally, everything should be ready to plug into your phone with the appropriate adapter. Now you can start creating in any app without a computer weighing you down!

 

You can also follow Wacom's video to get started:

 

Hopefully we see these capabilities with all other Wacom tablets, like the Pros, in the near future.
