STOP WASTING MONEY! Galaxy Tab S9+ vs 12.9' M2 iPad Pro

Should you buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ or the 12.9” M2 iPad Pro?

A few days ago I compared the Tab S9+ to the 11” iPad Pro but I got a few comments saying that a better comparison would be with the 12.9” model, because - for one - they are closer in size. But while that’s true, there are some things that are a little confusing

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison between the Galaxy Tab S9+ and the 12.9” M2 iPad Pro was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

I have both an Tab S9 Plus and an iPad Pro. I have to admit that DEX on the S9 Plus is an amazing thing to have and allows me to skip using my laptop for most things. With DEX, pretty much any app can be added to the multi window format. I've become so addicted to my S9 Plus that I find myself not using the iPad Pro unless I need to badly charge my S9 Plus, which usually doesn't take long as I have a 45 W charger that will add 50% battery in a little over 30 minutes. I also find the S-Pen a lot more comfortable and effective than the Apple pencil. Being able to write in OneNote and Samsung Notes is a game changer for me.

Just sold my ipad pro m2 and got tab s9, best decision i ever took to replacing or upgrading my technology ever!! Don’t get fooled yall by the screen, in real life the tab s9 display is just phenomenal! It is shame to even compare it to the ipad

[TischTosh]

Thankss for the audio side by side.... as an audio tech, the audio is important to me. It amazes me what samsung and Dolby do with tiny speakers!

[mathrix]

I live in Turkey, Samsung Tab S9 Plus 12/256 is 740 dollars, iPad Pro 12.9 M2 128GB is 1500 dollars with Apple Pen 2.

[pepelinsuarez]

I have both. The S9+ has a much better display(oled), better speakers, and the front facing camera is in a landscapemode(perfect for videocalls). Moreover, the image on videocalls on the Samsung is superior to the iPad Pro.

I would give apple my money if they are not making Windows users go crazy with their stupid file management

[JubileeRM]

I love my iPad Pro 12.9 M2. Upgraded from the M1 but no noticeable difference. Used to be a Samsung tab user from day one until I switched a couple years ago. I still miss the ability to install apk files on Android tabs, especially for movies and music but I still don’t see myself switching back any time soon. I use a S23 Ultra as my main phone though. Best of both worlds ❤😊

Thanks for this comparison, I was one who requested for this comparison. I bought iPad 12.9 (M2) educational discount and got the apple pencil free.

[tucoerquilenne]

Interesting comparison. I was looking at the S9+ but for some reason Adobe Creative Cloud does not have a Android version. I am planning on upgrading to the M3 next year and was looking at the S9+ as well. If Adobe Creative Cloud had an Android version then I would seriously look at a Samsung Tablet. I also like the Micro SSD slot built in so I can max out storage for not much more money. Unlike Apple where you really pay a premium if you want that 1 or 2 TB level storage.

[kindde]

Apple iPad, has better app support and faster processor and Samsung S Tabs has more features and is cheaper overall, both are high quality; take your pick of what works for you.

[aperez]

When you were talking about price, I think you underestimated the importance of the stylus not being included with the iPad. Would a lot of people purchase this item without a stylus? Because of the closeness in overall quality of these two tablets, it seems to me like the better deal is easily the Samsung galaxy tab.

[michelecintramika]

For me, the fact that it has a micro SD card slot is very important. Because I can have several micro sd cards to view my photos taken with my Canon R6 II. And I like the freedom of Android and the 14.6” screen size. And I paid $1, 200 for the 512Gb Tab S9 Ultra + Keyboard Cover and S Pen. All in the same package. If it were on the iPad, it would cost around $2, 500 here in Brazil. And on the Samsung Brazil website, I am paying $1, 200 in 12 installments of $100 per month. 😄. But I have a 10.5” Wi-Fi+4G iPad Pro for when I want something “smaller”.

Been a Apple Fan Boy since 2008, Never have owned any android devices, At present Got 15 promax and 6th Gen Ipad pro, Recently our company I work for gave us Samsung Ultra to do some of the video editing. Long story Short I went and bought my own Ultra for personal use and also bought S9 2nd gen plus for my wife. Samsung Tab is the King hands Down.

[serktv]

8:10 Did the ipad just stutter a bit 😅 I thought apple was the king of smoothness

[tytownsend]

Great video. Really loving my tab s9 ultra. Imo, the s9 ultra is better for watching movies, taking notes and light productivity and the s pen does a whole lot. My wife has the i pad and that is also a beast. I guess it comes down to your personal preference. Keep up the good work.

[MrCharlton]

DEX is a game changer for me and the main reason for buying the samsung. Also I just sit in the Samsung / Android camp generally. Ipad looks amazing too though

[bryans]

I look forward to your comparisons, they've become part of my morning routine.
I agree that the preferred ecosystem will be the deciding factor so for me, if I was in the market for another tablet, the iPad Pro would be my choice. I have to say, though, that the Dex capability on Samsung products is a killer feature that I'm envious of.

[SnidMist]

Also almost all apps will be paid apps where as android will give you a freedom of free apps

[JubierJimenez-icof]

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.
