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

[vjdfl]

Never thought I would be able to replace mac os and feel satisfied. The s9 ultra (and Fold 5) has completely changed my mind and exceeded all of my expectations of both samsung and andorid

[fromscratch]

I haven't touched my iPad ever since I got the tab S9 ultra.
Much superior multi-tasking because of floating windows, side panel, etc
Better writing experience because of lighter and softer (free) s pen
Massive gorgeous screen
Samsung Notes is actually wonderful

[akis]

DEX mode is undefeated. A real light medium use laptop replacement.

A few years ago I would have never gotten a Samsung tablet, but I recently got the S9 Ultra a week ago and I gotta say, they really stepped up their game. I was contemplating between the iPad Pro and the Ultra whenever I went to Best Buy, but as much as I wanted to like the iPad Pro, something about the Ultra was just so much more appealing. Especially that AMOLED screen, what a masterpiece. Plus the S Pen feels so much better to use than Apple's Pen which feels like I'm holding a branch/stick when I'm writing (IMO).

[GeorgeGiann]

Having used both pens, I can say that for me, the S Pen wins every single time when it comes to the writing experience.

[bryans]

Thanks for another great comparison. I'm happily mired in the Apple ecosystem and I sure don't need another tablet, but if I was starting over I think I'd give the Samsung tablet the nod. With that big gorgeous screen and Dex mode I can see this being the only device a person would need in many situations.

As far as Photoshop/Photo Editing goes, one of the GREATEST features of my Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, your files stay resident on your workstation and you don't have to copy files back and forth.

I find that SuperDisplay works exactly the same wired or over WiFi. If there's a difference, I don't see any. As you mentioned, it's SO much better than Samsung's Second Screen. It's pretty crazy to me that Samsung definitely knows how much of a superior product SuperDisplay is and they could easily license the technology (like they do Wacom's EMR) or even purchase the company without even batting an eye, instead they ship a vastly inferior piece of software...

Plus, the device is awesome all on its own... Literally blown away by how great it is!

The S-Pen is fantastic and FREE in the box. You don't need to add a paper-like screen protector ($40) in addition to the $130 you'll pay extra for the Apple Pencil...

I'm a 30+ year Professional Graphic Artist. When some say that there aren't Professional Visual Arts apps on android it's just really incorrect, because I use them everyday. Autodesk Sketchbook, Infinite Painter, Concepts, Krita are just a few of the apps available on the Google Play store... There are many more... Are there a few apps available on iPad that aren't on the Play store? Yes, of course, but a good carpenter never blames his tools, and with expertise and talent you can do anything and everything on android apps that you can do on iOS apps - NO DOUBT.

If you're already entrenched in the Apple 'eco-system'... Then pay the extra $500 to $1500...

Apple is sticking to 4:3 ratio even on larger iPad Pro while Samsung provides more trendy 16:9 aspect ratio. AKOLED screen, Dex for laptop chores. Not everyone wants extraordinary powerful chip to cut and edit videos and to transfer them. Samsung is giving what majority would be satisfied with.

[jexxy]

Problem with Ipad is they are using an overpowered chip held back by underpowered software.

[abrahamroberts]

I have both and this is the best unbiased review I've seen so far. Both tablets are fantastic and I couldn't choose between the two so I picked up both. I use the S9 Ultra a lot more. The beautiful big screen is just such an amazing experience, the battery life is impressive for such a big tablet and the keyboard case adds a lot of functionality. I'm not sure what Apple was thinking with the camera placement but I really don't like it. I use the S9 ultra for video conferencing at work and I never use my ipad's camera. When family want to facetime I usually just pick up my iphone instead so I don't look like I'm looking away all the time. LOL

[kenoyski]

Samsung Notes is a highly underrated note taking app. I tried using other apps, but Samsung Notes does everything I need + more.

[tiadaid]

I recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, and honestly the memory expansion give it and all the Galaxy Tab devices a leg up on the iPad. I also have a 64GB iPad Mini 6 (bought that because the 256GB model was not available when I ordered it) and the storage restriction is a pain, plus I don't want to pay more for iCloud.

[Mickieshelton]

That tab s9 ultra vid sample was crystal clear..damn...super DUPER CLEAR..lol

[akosiraph]

sold my ipad for this and no f regret!! the 2x dynamic amoled, the unbeatable dex and better file management♥️😍 it supports SD card you can just buy the 256gb much cheaper and expand to 1tb

[aternity]

tech youtuber like these need to be appreciated and get more views

[jeff_johnson_]

Thank you for a complete and amazing comparison of the two tablets. You left no stone unturned, brother. Appreciate the thoroughness 100%.

[Hello-yvwq]

call me Apple fanboy but iPad Pro is NOT the best tablet, but the "better tablet"

the whole apple ecosystem is unbeatable

but I admit Tab s9 Ultra alone is the "best tablet" right now
