The drawing apps on android have always been dominated by third-party solutions, leaving the options that manufacturers pre-installed in the background. Samsung has been trying to change this perception for years with its native tool, a platform that often goes unnoticed compared to traditional quick notes, but has just received a necessary push to attract creators.
The Asian company has begun to deploy the version 3.9.22.23 of this utility, making it clear that he does not want to abandon his community. Although we must admit that this patch is a little late compared to the agility of the competition, they are finally paying attention to the historical demands of those users who are looking for more than basic doodling.
Renewed tools and a better connected ecosystem
The leap in quality offered by the update is quite notable, highlighting the following new features:
- Incorporation of 53 new brushes downloadable from the store.
- function dual stroke to combine two styles simultaneously.
- Preview of settings double tap the tool.
- Automatic and intelligent selection using the classic lasso tool.
- Adaptation optimized interface for use in landscape format.
But what really adds value to the workflow is its renewed integration into the brand environment. From now on it is possible to save unfinished projects by exporting them in the .penup formata proprietary system that respects the layer structure. Imagine starting a quick sketch on your current tablet and finishing coloring it next year on the screen of the future Galaxy S26 Ultra thanks to cloud synchronization, taking advantage of every last level of pressure on your pen.
Despite this undeniable performance improvement, we still have the question of whether the application will be able to retain the most demanding illustrators, who are already very accustomed to much more robust software. And you, Do you think these new features will make the platform your main canvas or will it continue to be a simple entertainment to pass the time?
