Huion Note E is an Android 15 note-taking device/electronic notebook powered by a MediaTek Helio G99 SoC and equipped with an 8.4-inch color LCD designed to work with a battery-free PenTech 3.0 pressure-sensitive stylus.
The device ships with 6GB LPDDR4 memory, 128GB storage, and a single USB-C port for charging and data. The company says the 1920×1080 display leverages “AG nano-etching technology to create a refined, matte surface that mimics the traditional pen-on-paper experience” and provides an e-Paper-like experience, while maintaining a 60 Hz refresh rate.

On the software side, the Huion Note E runs Android 15 with “Smart Handwriting tools” to configure pressure sensitivity and type of brush (fountain pen, ball point pen, highlighter pen…), handwriting to text conversion, content search, audio recording and note synchronization, document annotation, and landscape/portrait modes support. The Huion Note app aims to ease note-taking on Android devices, including the Note E.
I previously experienced the company’s pressure-sensitive digital pen technology when I reviewed the Kamvas Pro 16 (2.5K) 15.8-inch drawing tablet with a similar PW517 8192-level stylus. That was quite a niche display targeting artists and graphic designers, and with the Note E (X50), Huion now aimed at the broader consumer market.
The Note E X50 “Smart Digital Notebook” sells for $369 on Amazon and the Huion store and ships with a protective case, a battery-free digital pen, a USB cable, a nib clip, ten replacement nibs, and a Quick Start Guide. You’ll find more details on the product page, including a user manual (download section).
