Even though the iPad has a lot of horse power, iPad os doesn't allow it to utilize it's full potential 😅

[HabitualFixation]

Have an iPad Pro M1 but I just bought a S9 ultra and a Galaxy fold 5. The s9 is a consumption KING plus Dex helps make work flow a breeze, especially with screen formats. Speakers better imo. I do miss the floating Apple keyboard. That things always been a beast.

[VitiateTheImmortal]

I changed from the ipad pro to the s9 ultra and damn. Numbers are nice but in real life the s9 ultra feels so much nicer! And i got upgraded storage for free xD ✌️👌

[jimmymac]

I actually disagree with the "app optimization" argument. Especially if you are in Dex. Most apps work much better with resizeable windows, but in regular tablet mode, you still have the option to resize apps that are not optimized for bigger screens. This versatility in my opinion gives users way more flexibility on how they wanna view an app and how it fits on the tablet for better optimization.

[abrahamroberts]

I have both S9 ultra and 12.9 ipad pro m2. The sound on the Samsung is better for me. I also find the S9 ultra just more fun to use. I use iphone, ipad and apple watch ultra - so I obviously like Apple - but I have to give the tablet points to Samsung this time. ipad pro is fantastic but S9 Ultra is just over the top great!

[agprime]

Nice review I currently have an iPad Pro but I ordered the s9 because the multitasking is just on another level and the flexibility you get with android for side loading and emulators also expandable storage and the file manager system, and I think now that android has Lumafusion is just great. I don’t like how apple iPads are extremely lockdown and there is just so many small things that makes the experience feels like a bloated iPhone. Not to mention office seems to give you a better experience on android pretty close to the PC experience, Just my opinion every persons use case is different.

[kennytay]

I would be keen to see how well each tablet maintains its performance under a sustained load. On benchmarks that run for a short while, I don’t think is a fair test. On paper the M2 is a lot faster, but knowing that it throttles quite a fair bit even in a thicker MacBook Air, I don’t believe it can sustain its performance in a thinner iPad. I know the M1 in the iPad Pro 12.9 will throttle, and likely even more so with the M2.

[adityamisra]

2 things are imp for me: Spen included in box and notes app (built in) is top notch

[fvahamonde]

I have both. Tab Ultra crushes iPad. Especially for content consumption.

[driven]

I was all set to buy an M2 iPad Pro. Apple screwed up my trade in, which delayed my purchase. But I am sort of happy that it happened. The Tab S9 Ultra is the first Android based tablet that I am considering purchasing. The screen, the Dex mode, the multi-tasking.

[eduard]

Man I wish we could have a mix of both. The screen, battery and features of the Samsung with the performance and apps of the iPad.

[DrYawningMoon]

Samsung Notes app should be used for comparing S Pen latency.

[RonaldVirgil]

Each of them has their pros and cons. Samsung does allow you to do a little bit more with their gadgets, while Apple is not. But, everyone has their own preferences ! Thank you for making this video comparison between the 2 of them !

[jimgom]

Great comparison. But note that the benchmarking apps are totally different on different OS, using different API so they are not comparable. The only way to compare the performance on both, is by using the same applications on both and see how they perform in terms of responsiveness, loading speeds and battery usage ! They are both great powerhouses and each one is the best on his world !

[aubreybrackett]

You should do a comparison of how the most common apps for each. Samsung has optimized quite a few apps over the last year. I don't use any that are stuck in a partial screen format (mobile version) like I have on the iPad.

[harshgawali]

my 2018 iPad pro is still performing like a beast!

[keithjohnson]

For specific use like photo or video editing I would choose the iPad Pro over the S9 Ultra. But I would more likely get a 13" MacBook Air and trade the touch screen and rear camera for a real file system, an extra USB port and a properly placed front camera.

[TheKazujiro]

Samsung ftw. Apple fan boy as usual. Samsung sounded better on the music test.

[mattpipes]

I use my iPad for drawing with Apps like Procreate quite a bit… My iPad is a 2018 pro and I can do layered artwork up to 30 x 30” output size at 300dpi in Procreate, which is nuts for a tablet. I also occasionally make and edit videos, draft documents and use the entire Affinity suite of graphic design Apps and my 5 year old iPad doesn’t break a sweat. I would be interested to see if the Samsung can keep up… but I would definitely choose the Samsung over a Surface Pro any day of the week.

[ricarmig]

It is a simple as this;
- all-rounder, specially as a desktop substitute for office, web browser, NAS/Network or multi window: every tablet with the Samsung DeX;

Multimedia editing, games: iPad Pro

The thing is, the iPad is still a tablet; the Tab (even my Tab S6 Lite) is a hybrid between an android tablet and a PC. You can do MUCH more with a Tab than with an apple, but it depends what you want: if I has to edit multimedia, the apps and chip acceleration are much better on apple.

The extra speed from the M2 is nonsense because Apple won't change to an hybrid OS, so it is lost. Even the M1 is already "too" powerful...
