Our Adonit Pro 4 review explores this stylus in more detail. The disc tip is small and transparent, so you can see where you want to draw. It's made entirely from aluminium so it's very light, and it has a streamlined pen clip with a grooved hook to slip into any pocket. Like the Dash, it's a passive, non-Bluetooth stylus, but it cuts down on the frills such as the palm rejection, shortcut button and tilt technology while still offering a very elegant stylus.

The Staedtler 180 22-1 Noris Digital is quite a specific stylus compatibility-wise, and like many of the options on this best stylus for Android list, it won't work with all devices – they need to have EMR technology in order for it to work, so double-check before buying.

Note that some Samsung devices also have their own S-Pens that are specifically optimised, like the Galaxy S21. Samsung tends to bundle the pen in with compatible tablets, so if you're still looking for the best drawing tablet, this can represent a significant saving compared to having to buy the tablet and pen separately, as is the case with Apple products.

It can be tricky to get a pressure-sensitive stylus that works on an Android tablet, which can make them less practical as artistic tools.
