Huawei’s GoPaint App: New Feature Support Plan for 15 Tablets

In a move that's sure to excite digital artists and tablet enthusiasts, Huawei has announced a comprehensive new feature support plan for its GoPaint app. This plan, set to roll out in stages starting late August, will bring enhanced capabilities to 15 of Huawei's tablet models, ranging from flagship devices to mid-range options.

GoPaint: Huawei's Homegrown Digital Canvas

GoPaint, Huawei's first self-developed drawing app, made its debut in May 2024. It quickly gained traction among users for its robust set of features, including:

• 100 brush strokes

• Various canvas options (ink wash, old paints, watercolor)

• Shortcut gestures for color selection and canvas control

• Immersive painting mode

With the recent launch of the stable version, GoPaint has leveled up significantly. Users can now enjoy:

• 150 preset brushes with 80+ brush settings

• AI-powered smart tools for selection and curve correction

• Fantigan Painting Engine 2.0, supporting 8K large canvases with 120fps

The New Feature Support Plan: What's in Store?

Huawei's new plan aims to bring these advanced features to a wider range of devices. Here's a breakdown of what users can expect:

Why This Matters

This new feature support plan demonstrates Huawei's commitment to enhancing the digital art experience across its tablet lineup. By bringing advanced features like AI-powered tools and 8K canvas support to a wider range of devices, Huawei is democratizing high-end digital art creation.

According to a recent report by Digital Art Trends, the market for digital art tools is expected to grow by 25% in the next five years. Huawei's move positions them well to capitalize on this trend and compete with established players in the digital art space.

What's Next?

While the initial rollout focuses on Huawei's more recent tablet models, the company has plans to bring the stable GoPaint app to older devices as well. Users of models like the MatePad Pro 12.6 (2021 and 2022 versions) and MatePad Air 11.5 can expect the update in September 2024.

For those with even older models, don't despair. Huawei has promised support for devices like the MatePad Pro 11 2022 and MatePad 11 between October and December 2024.

As digital art continues to gain popularity, it's clear that Huawei is positioning itself as a serious contender in the space. With its commitment to bringing advanced features to a wide range of devices, the company is making a strong statement about the importance of accessibility in digital art creation.
