Galaxy Tab S9 vs. iPad Pro Comparison: Don't Buy Wrong! 

I prefer the flexibility and ease of use of the Tab S9. The iPad is still too locked down. I use Dex when I need to be productive, and tablet mode when needed. I do have a iPad Mini 5. Other than the form factor and performance, it has poor battery life, a dim display and overheats in hot and humid weather. I also have the Z Flip 5 which integrates well with the Tab S9.

The biggest problem with iPads is that the screen aspect ratio makes watching movies a no go. Then there's the awful restrictions on iOS.

Having the two of them... with Apple you got to pay extra and way too much for: The Pen (not included), pencil hover "novelty" (with Samsung has been present for years), extra RAM, extra storage, good quality sound, 120Hz, brighter screen, etc. Moreover, the Apple pencil sucks (Come on, 130 bucks for outdated technology? It has been untouched for more than 4 years now) and is so unconfortable to use, give it a try to the S pen and you will never look back at the Apple pencil. Apple Notes is trash if you are a serious note-taker (writing two words on a screen does not account as serious note-taking). Please guys, be exigent, you are giving them your hard-earned money, and being fanboys is just stupid. Samsung is improving year after year, Apple has been in a confort zone for years now, our fault.

Great video man! Excited for my Tab S9 that got as a Xmas gift for myself.

Excellent review and roundup. I agree, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is a very compelling tablet. The whole Tab S9+ and S9 Ultra is impressive, if not a little pricey, but included in that is a lot of good features. Any idea if any of the S9 keyboard covers will work with the S8 models?

Great presentation as always 🎉

i hope some reviewers will cover more of HDR and dolby vision on devices and whether any of the media does support them or not.

Thanks for the reviews. It's been years since flagship devices can run android games flawlessly. Wouldn't it be more useful to show PS2 or Switch emulation performance in the gaming section instead of PUBG and Asphalt (for android device reviews)? Consider using the same build and games oveer thee year to create a standard. Maybe even a dedicated video on that topic, I'm curious to see how S9+ and S9FE+ compare.

Which one is more future proof and less prone to virus ? Thanks

Whats the Storage on these UFS 3 or 4.0 ❓️ Whats the Storage on Tab S8 Plus have ?

very nice review

Will be interesting to see what apple does with the M3 iPad Pro with OLED screens The Galaxy series are really good tablets but I still prefer the iPads for the integration with other Apple products, and the better keyboard accessories.

The longer battery life was what did it for me. Hopping between classes at uni, I don't ever have to look for th seat in class that's next to an outlet. I can go multiple days of taking notes, typing docs, and not worry about it. I'm not doing video editing so there's no real world performance difference for me that would make me jump to the iPad pro. I just don't have a reason to care.

Good, honest review,

ello, I currently have a Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 tablet, which may be great, but I mostly use it to watch movies in the car. At night or in the shade it's ok, but when a little sun hits the screen it's worse. I have a question whether the Galaxy S9 plus would be a much better equivalent or maybe only the S9 Ultra. And how do the S8 Plus or S8 Ultra compare to it?

What does it matter that Apple tablets have such powerful processors if the company still gimps them? If I'm going to spend several hundred dollars on a device, I want to be able to use it to it's full potential!

Please make a compare video with note taking experience

I have the iPad Pro 12.9 with the Magic Keyboard. It’s very heavy. Multitasking is honestly hard to use and very much a nuisance to get the windows the way you want. Lots of wasted space in the stage manager view. Floating freely resizable windows would have been much better choice but there Apple trying to avoid being like Windows. I have played with the galaxy tab s9 series at the store extensively and their screens are far better than the iPad. iPad has a yellow hue on the screen and makes things look dull. Almost like a retro filter. You can’t tell how bad it is until you hold it next to a Samsung galaxy AMOLED display. Other than window management, I do prefer the iPad as I work with numbers spreadsheets and pages documents a lot and that software is buttery smooth and very well designed for iPad. Excel on android is janky and the menus are not well thought out. Honestly, other than a few iOS/android only apps, most of the stuff I use would be better done on a laptop and I will be selling my 12.9 iPad Pro and getting the MBA 15”. Screen, keyboard, first rate trackpad and first rate software. Light as well. Perfect package.

I Love Android Tablet with Big Screen Such as Lenovo, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi Tablets!!! 👍🏻😃👍🏻

Are the screen quality of the 3 Tab S9 models the same (in terms of color and brightness)?

I so badly want to get a Galaxy Tab, but the huge performance & future proofing of the iPad Pro is really hard to consider the Galaxy Tab. I really wish the Android silicon was up to par with Apple Silicon.

I have the Samsung tab s8 and I emulate the nintendo switch games sometimes a 50 fps and have micro SD card which the iPad clearly can't even do

I literally can't find an s9 book cover keyboard ANYWHERE

The 11" Tab S9 battery life is dismal. 3 hours less SOT than the preceding S7 and S8.

I chose the S9 Plus. It's much better than the others!

I stopped watching after 0:59 mark. 😊

Very nice review however i really want you to compare Tab s9 with ipad pro 11 inch m1 chip 2021 or please be kind and recommend here in comment which one to get my primary use will be gaming and social network apps like Facebook TikTok Instagram whatsapp. I really want to see how apps like TikTok and Instagram looks like on both devices

how about comparing xiaomi tab 6 and iPad Air M1 in real life . I dont see the point of iPad having M series chip except , its cheaper to manufacture for apple. real life meaning sound ,screen , dolby vision , ( samsung refuse to pay dolby for vision ) and battery . most people use tablets for consumption and not for productive stuff .

I'm an Apple user. I have a iPhone, MacBook Pro and an Apple Watch Ultra. But Im still using my trusty Samsung Tab S6. Maybe will be upgrading to Tab S9. I never liked an iPad :)
