Why does the pixel suck at using drawing apps like Autodesk SketchBook Pro?

[Helmut28]

My Note 3 and Note 4 ran this app perfectly and I could draw really intricate pictures. With the pixel doesn't even allow you to draw straight lines it's squiggly and the calibration seems way off you put the stylus down on the screen and it may be off a quarter of an inch sometimes. Why can't the pixel run this program just as good or better than a five or six year old phone?

Because the Notes have an S Pen and the Pixel doesn't? And because there is no stylus in the market that's as accurate at the S Pen?

The Notes use a second digitizer specifically made for the S Pen, developed by WACOM Technologies, the ones that developed Surface Pens and other e-canvasses. Samsung is part owner of that company.

No stylus in the market comes close in accuracy because the tech is in the screen itself, not the pen. The closest you can probably go is an active stylus, but even those have tips twice as thick as the tip of an S Pen.

Basically if you want to draw properly on tablets, it's Note or nothing.

It's not the Pixel had a problem with the app. The Pixel doesn't have the hardware that the Notes have.
