About HUION Kamvas 16 Gen3

The HUION Kamvas 16 (Gen 3), released in early 2025, marks a significant leap in Huion’s mid-range lineup. It transitions the series from a standard hobbyist tool into a high-performance workspace for intermediate and professional artists, specifically by upgrading the display resolution and pen precision.

The most notable improvement is the 2.5K QHD resolution (2560 x 1440) on its 15.8-inch screen. This provides a pixel density of 186 PPI, offering much sharper detail than the 1080p Gen 2 model. The screen features Canvas Glass 2.0, a nano-etched anti-glare glass that is fully laminated to minimize parallax. It boasts professional-grade color accuracy with 99% sRGB and 90% Adobe RGB coverage, ensuring colors remain vibrant and true to life across different devices.

The Gen 3 introduces the PW600L digital pen, powered by the new PenTech 4.0 system. This technology doubles the previous standard of pressure sensitivity to 16,384 levels. Combined with a low initial activation force of just 2g and a reduced nib retraction distance (0.35mm), the drawing experience feels remarkably stable and responsive, closely mimicking traditional media without the "wobble" often seen in older digital pens.

Huion has prioritized workflow efficiency with a symmetrical design that includes:

Dual Dial Controllers: Two mechanical dials that slightly protrude for easier tactile adjustment of brush size or zoom.

6 Silent Press Keys: Fully programmable shortcuts that operate quietly.

Connectivity: Flexible setup options via a 3-in-1 cable or a single full-featured USB-C cable (now with a non-recessed port for better third-party cable compatibility).

At approximately 1.2kg and 12.6mm thick, it remains highly portable while offering a solid, professional build.
