True I think Apple has a great advertising campaign, hence them being all about selling services more than the product itself. To be honest samsung is quite modest,but let the haters hate, Apple should check their rear view mirror though ,this silent competitor isn't all talk and always hit hard when least expected . These Koreans are proud people without the motor mouth and their resilience shines. Samsung isn't really worried . Good business skills are to help your competitor and make sure you are one step ahead. If you want to progress in live train people your skills so you got to move onto the next big thing,pushing yourself ahead and create more inner strength to see a project through seamlessly and plan better and apply perfect timing. These Koreans got Apple eating out of their hands,as they don't need Apple,but apple needs them
It’s because half the features don’t work as easy as they make out to be. Air gestures is very buggy and needs very specific scenarios. I have been embarrassed in meeting when relying on it.
@@B121AN1 Did you see the word quite? They are not the ones trying to pick a bone with everyone making more money than they do. Ios exclusivity is their biggest downfall. Next thing you know they will prohibit samsung from making displays to other companies other than apple.
This where the note series paid off. Samsung had the S pen since the first Note and kept improving it through the years. It's no surprise the s pen has so many features and works flawlessly.
@@112subhradipmahanta5 I have used both.. while it works perfectly, it still is behind the S pen when it comes to other features. And the biggest difference here is S pen comes FREE when you buy the tablet. Don't you feel a bit ripped off when Apple charges you $129 extra for the pencil when the competition gives theirs for free despite having the same, if not better, experience?
@@florider_hd I got an iPad pro and the first gen apple pen for free (it was actually for my grandpa but he didn't like it and prefers his galaxy note phone, but that's another story). Anywayy, i still laugh everytime i charge the damn thing. Looks like a freaking weapon and totally un ergonomic. I'm surprised no one talks about it much. Sure the second gen pen fixed that, but that new pen isnt even backwards compatible with its own ipads. So if people wanted to get the new pen, they'd have to essentially chuck their old ipad and get the new one too. I'm basically stuck with this ipad and pen unless I'm willing to spend a lot more damn money.
You’re right, the Apple Pencil looks like it was made for sketching and shading with the angled tip while the S pen was made for writing with a sharp pen tip.
@@vorathehamburger9528 woah there! apple pencil might be better for you but Samsung's Spen isnt trash it's pretty good for drawing too why don't you watch artists in yt who are reviewing the S-pen and Apple Pencil
I'm with the S-Pen. It existed and worked great when Apple was still in their "we are never going to make a stylus" phase. I never understood why other artists were so set on Apple products even when they weren't set up for an art experience. People were buying third party styluses that didn't work great just to be able to use it with the iPad when Samsung was over here with a product that worked.
@@abcdefgasdfg no he’s right. Im an artist and I can never use any android tablet period. Because there’s no adobe apps or pro create on them. Plus I doubt any android tablet would be as powerful enough as the iPad to support those apps.
@@irabflores3531 the iPad has been the gold standard for tablets for ages. It's not just because it's Apple. Samsung is definitely catching up though, which is great because it forces Apple to innovate. We all win here.
As someone who uses an iPad (8th generation) and apple pencil combo, I must say that the Samsung tablet looks quite impressive! The rubbery tip seems more ideal for note taking.
@@radostina-be3lu No, I've had it for a couple years now and I don't notice any stuttering or slowing down of the system. The pen is still really smooth and accurate when I draw or write
I got this rubber tips for apple pencil and it works great. I would love Samsung tablet but the pen only charging on the back is a deal breaker for me.
@@daa6375 Really love to get hold of a cheaper tablet with 12.4 inches screen size and 9 ms response time having a feature packed application like Samsung Notes. All of these are essential for fast note taking. :D
@@daa6375 yea i am getting the adonit dash 3 soon to write but if you have a device with pen support get the pen for it and not some off brand universal as they are worse
Right I'm an engineering student and not some going to be homeless artist. I want a good note taking tablet with capable multitasking functionality. And the Apple pencil is way too thick and the tip should be way smaller. Tab S7+ it is for me
I draw a lot on my s7+ tablet, what I like about the s pen is that you don't have to charge it if you're sketching, unlike the apple pencil you have to charge it.
@@nekogaming8461 Even though you need to charge it. If suddenly while taking any online class, if its battery gets discharged then you have to stop, and charge it for 10 minutes :P . And samsung is providing more value, S-pen is free pen inside the box, but Apple pencil costs extra 130 bucks.
@@HT-pl8du what do you mean? Do you mean the spen battery? Its a capacitor, not a normal battery, you can leave it fully charged or completely discharged without the battery life degrading
Hi long time digital artist here. I've messed with both and will 100% say the S-pen is much better off in both price, and usage. Much more responsive, and with the S-pen being passive it just makes more sense.
@@melissadalloglio2448 I myself don't use Adobe products because of the rediculous prices for how limited the software is. There's a lot of good free programs for artists that I use.
2:22 This is what I was looking for! Trying to find which one was better at the writing experience and offers better feedback. You should do a full video on just writing on the S pen. There isn't any other video out there that covers that topic.
wow it's crazy how few people talk about that. I had the samsung galaxy Tab 10.1 (2011) version . BEST writting tablet I have ever used. It had the best writting experience. I upgraded to the samsung tab 12.1 in the next year and was so disappointed beacause it had that issue with the "glides on glass" effect that felt so unnatural. I kept going back to my old slow 10.1 tab till I stopped taking notes. I still miss it and remeber fondly how awesome it was to take notes on it.
Using both I tend to lean more towards the S-Pen for drawing/art. Simply for the rubbery tip on the S-Pen. iPad requires a matte screen protector that wears down the nib because that glass is way to slick. Great content 👍🏾
@@MzwandileHarmans a real pencil is made of lead in which the level of hardness can vary from a standard hb pencil. When drawing on paper it has resistance. Apple pencil draws on glass and without a rubbery nib or matte screen protector has no resistance. It's what I mean and in order to get a real feel you have to add extras to the iPad where you can just use the tabs7+ as soon as you take it out the box. 🙏🏾
Personally, I have the S7+. I've had Samsung devices for a while, now. But since getting this one, I find myself using it in Dex mode mostly. It operates and handles just like a laptop, and with Microsoft 365, it really is perfect for that. I very rarely use the S pen, but do occasionally play around with it and Autodesk for drawing.
I am a business student and I have both of these. My story is that I cracked my S7+ screen last semester and I had to send it to Samsung to get fixed (thanks to premium care). So I was excited to take my iPad pro and dust it off and really "lean into it" until I got my Tab back (which together with the tab S6 before it I had been using for years in school). I tried it for a solid week, but in the end, it just couldn't do what my Tabs could do as far as the overall experience for note-taking, reading, and things of that nature. Sure, the iPad CAN do all of those things, but the experience is just....sub-par by comparison to the tab experience. So after a week or so I switched back to my Tab S6 until my repair was complete (almost 2 months, but that's a different story) and didn't miss a beat. I don't know if it's better integrated with Microsoft office, or just that the alternatives on iOS are just lacking by comparison, but the experience was not great. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was far better on the Tab S6.
If I have to use my tab for over 5 years then, should I go for tab s7+ or ipad for display quality ( considering screen burning issue on amoled display) ?
@@User-cb4jm Sure. Let me just preface by saying that while the tab worked best in my experience the iPad didn't do anything poorly. If you are starting out with either I'm sure it would be fine for what you need it for. but I started with the Galaxy Tab so the multitasking, the note-taking, the translating, the handwriting into text, being integrated with office suite and G-suite (in a more roundabout way) was almost effortless and snappy. The iPad writing didn't feel as good as Thao mentions in her comparison but the ease of things like smart select is a game-changer in my opinion especially if you need to just pull a picture from the internet and put it into a document. I'm sure you can do it on iOS, but it's just....less intuitive. on the iPad everything just felt disconnected. The best note apps couldn't connect to my suites, the standard note apps didn't sync with my suite, and while the office suite did work on the iPad, it wasn't as intuitive as it was on my tab. It felt like there was less I could do with my actual text in OneNote on the iPad compared to the Tab as well. It really just depends on what you start with. Both are premium devices and have tons of features and whatnot, but in my experience, the way the Tab works is just easier and more efficient. I didn't have years of learning how to use the tabs either, the Tab S6 was my first premium tablet and I only started leaning into using it for school work right before the pandemic hit. I was able to just pick it up and do things without much of a learning curve which is why I was expecting more from my iPad pro (2020 version if that matters), but it just didn't work as well. Full disclosure though my daily driver has been a Samsung device for a long time, and I've done light work on my phone for years as to where my iPhone XS I use more casually, though I do know my way around the OS. But that's just my experience, I'm sure if you are starting from having nothing, it depends on what system it will be used with. If you have macs then you can probably get the iPhone to work best with that for what you need, but if you have any other system then the Tab will probably be the way to go. Just depends mostly on your circumstances
@@User-cb4jm Long story short, iPad easily trumps Tab S7 and any tablets with its well optimized app ecosystem specifically crafted for iPad especially pro apps like Procreate, Lumafusion etc but for OS software itself, Android with One UI on Tab S7 actually feel more practical, more comprehensive especially with features like Dex, better file management and external screen support. Hope this helps ...
I'm an avid Samsung user and am looking at getting the tab s8 and totally expected the Apple Pencil and iPad to win in a landslide. This is really interesting to hear tho as I never hear about the advancement that Samsung has made in these categories
As someone who used the S7 consistently for artistic purposes, I'm surprised no one ever mentions that the spen nib wears out in time. The spen white rubber nib wears out and frays in 3 months of heavy use, and the harder black nib wore down in about a year for me, while the nibs are replaceable, Samsung doesn't offer them and you have to source them from online stores,
they also provide two different types of nibs. the black ones are great for writting because of how hard the nib is whilst the soft nib is great for drawing :)
Great video! I used the iPad Pro 2020 for the better part of year before picking up the Tab s7+ a couple months ago. I ended up giving the iPad to my wife. Like you said, both are a good experience, but the S7+ is a better fit for me. It might be because I am a long time Note user, but the S-Pen just feels better in every way compared to the Apple Pencil. Like you said, OS preferences will be a factor and you really can't go wrong with either.
And then there is me. After cleaning the screen, i use the pen when i watch movies or change between episodes to avoid fingerprints. I kid you not. The drawing part is fairly minimal.
You CAN go wrong with android because one of the hidden cost of owning android devices is the abysmal product support with security updates and only patch it for two years before they cease their support. My iPad Pro 2015 is still supported despite being 7 years old and thats one of the reason why I’ll always go apple.
@@slampest Wow, guess what? That way you’re increasing the possibility of scratching your screen because of the dust debris getting caught in pencils tip. Your finger is way safer if you’re that paranoid.
@@StonerSquirrel they upped that to 5 years. And if youre no 60 year old boomer you can install the latest security updates on old android devices via a root. Something that Apple will NEVER have. Therefore android devices technically get longer updates than apple. But if you buy apple because its "easier to use and more simple and user friendly" then ig this is nothing for you.
Don't forget that you also have options if you go the S-pen route. Since it used standard Wacom EMR, there are a couple third party pens with higher quality and better grip. Example includes Staedler EMR, LAMY AL-STAR EMR, Mitsubishi Hi-Uni Digital and even the Wacom One pen (that was used in Wacom One Display and available to purchase separately). All of them works with Samsung S-pen devices, so you can carry one pen and use it with both S21 Ultra and Tab S7. That said, Bluetooth functionality (remote-thingy) won't work unless you use the included S-pen, but for the intended purpose, these can works better and more comfortable.
For me as an artist, I'll go for the S PEN. I like when the tip of my pen is thin. It helps see through tiny lines. Plus all the extra functions and the fact that you don't need to use it only when it's charged. That was a great review, though.
I have both tabs. The spen tip feels waaaay better than the apple pencil. I wish apple gave you the option to switch to a softer tip that felt more like the spen.
I still love my tab S7. It's become more than just a tablet for me. It's like my own media/gaming paradise. Considering that I still have an IPad Pro 10.5, this tab S7 literally changed what I love about tablets. I've find myself wanting to learn more about my tab S7: drawing, painting, doing productivity work, etc... Things that I could hardly do on my IPad. And I still find myself learning more about my tablet since I bought it 3 months ago.
Don't forget that you an install game emulators on the Tab S7 if you want to play older retro games like Super Mario Bros., Sonic The Hedgehog, Mario Kart 64, etc.
I just wish it has desktop class browser like iPad OS, then it would be perfect for me. Since Samsung already have pretty deep collab with Microsoft in so many stuffs, would be nice if ARM Edge browser coming to Galaxy Tab with access to all Chrome extensions, that would be awesome. But for now, I can only dream for this to happen ...
@Logan Teo I use Edge, it's very good but none so far comes close as feature rich as desktop counterpart unlike Safari since it's now supporting extensions on all platforms which is great. I wish Google and other browser makers upped their game on Android side ...
You mentioned an eraser on the back of the stylus as a pencil does. You can purchase them for Samsung. I've had one for years, since my Galaxy note 5, and it still works great with the new tablets like the Samsung s7 FE. I'm sure it works on the s7 and s7+ pro
Air action alot people call it gimmick but i use it so much in this table the i didn't realize how useful that funtion is and with bixby routine + you can do alot of crazy stuff
Another advantage of spen is that one can change to use LAMY EMR and Noris series to experience better hand feeling. Moreover, the nib is changable, and there are rich selections of nibs in the market designed for professional wacom devices with various features. Peasonally speaking, since I use LAMY for paper work from middle school, I enjoy LAMY EMR so much.
Very good review. One more important difference between iPad Pro and S7 is software updates.IPad gets updates for 6 to 7 years.But S7 ,like any other android device gets updates for only 2 or 3 years.I request all reviewers to point out and highlight this difference ,so that a change may come in android manufacturers and hopefully they start giving updates for longer periods.
I use Apple and Samsung products and love them both. I really wanted Tab 7+, it's cheaper also..but got Ipad Pro instead, it has the biggest screen yet 🥰😍
While I do not have an iPad, I used to have the iPad 2 and I loved the gesture navigation on it. It is something I miss when using my Tab S7+ at times without the pen. Being able to swipe between apps, go home, and see recent apps was nice with just your hand. However the usefulness of the S Pen however does eliminate that and I find myself just placing the S Pen on the top of my tablet whenever I start using it. As you said the battery only matters when using BT functionally but I have had very long sessions and barely seen the S Pen's batter go down even into the 75% range. It seems it only really uses batter when actually using the BT functionality, so it can last very long based on usage.
Sorry? Doesn't the tab s7+ use the bottom bar to navigate through recent apps, switching between apps and home? I've used ipad pro before i believe the function is still the same
I’m typing this on the M1 iPad Pro 12.9”, I love it so damn much, especially in the case of drawing, i use procreate and it’s awesome. Planning on using it for the next 4 years for school, and I’m 100% sure it’ll last me for at least that long
@@kishanrajeev well my iPhone 7 has lasted since it first came out, only had to replace the battery just a few months ago. So I’m 100% sure this will last for a while
@@kishanrajeev It's not rare at all At least regarding iPads I know people who still have their iPad Air from 2014 I don't like Apple but iPads are FIRE
i will always choose iPad Pro + Apple V2 because of... Procreate app tbh. I use Procreate most of the time for drawing and knowing iPad will last longer. I haven't use android tablet for a long time so I don't know if S tablet will got the update OS support as long as iPad or not. Both seems great after all.
The fact that you have to replace the Appel pencil tip if you use it often, it shows how much the Samsung TAB S7 + is valuable in terms of price and quality
@@Toyeboy89Get your facts right. The CPU isn't by any means "slow". Snapdragon 8CX in PCs (based on snapdragon 855 from 2 years ago) run Photoshop just fine.
So personally I would prefer the S7 for most to all of my student work as it looks like (to me) that it would be better for that, BUT I believe that the iPad would do a lot better when it comes to a lot more advanced things that require great speed and reliability, but really both are extremely good tablets.
I primarily use my tab s7 for note taking pdf sketch ups and podcast consumption. works great for all that and the included dex mode is invaluable for school work.
Hi Harry, when you write on the S7 is the action almost silent compared to the plastic apple pencil on glass? I have an ipad mini with apple pencil one and a Note 20 ultra and a Microsoft Surface Go. The spen on the Note 20 is silent, which I like when using around other people. The iPad makes an annoying clacking sound with every stroke. The Surface Go is okay but the pen still makes a slight clicking sound as the nib presses in on contact. I trying to decide between an expensive Surface Pro 8 or a S7+.
From an iPad user's perspective (iPad Air 4), Tab s7 is way superior in terms of hardware specifications and software experience. However, the lack of pro apps like Lumafusion and Affinity Photos just forced me to go for the iPad
Nah,the thing that stops me Is that ipad is waaay to expensive,like,too much where i live And even if i am an artist,i personally find samsung better for me
It was actually Thao's incredible reviews that convinced me to get the S7+. It was a wonderful 6 months of continuous dating with the tab until... ...it just doesn't have the apps and hardware-to-software seamless interface for my specific needs. Notwithstanding Autodesk Sketchbook kept crashing even if I only had 7 layers on my work. I would liken the S7+ as a good jack-of-all-trades. Still...another very informative review.
Hey Thao! As you were saying that nor apple nor Samsung have erasers on the back of their styluses. Microsoft has an eraser at the back of it's styluses
Let me be honest here I just love how minimalist the videos are and I want to follow just for the S7+ but now I just watch every video Btw thanks for all the great reviews on S7+ please do more in the future🤗🤗
Overall experience, I still do prefer the Tab S7+ especially the Spen and the overall Samsung hardware and software, but the iPad still have better "pro" apps ecosystem compared to android overall.
Been using my tab S7/s pen for drawing for a few months now; really loving it. Have to say though, samsung REALLY need to make spare nibs more accessible... Anyone who is really regularly using their pen has that worry about wearing down the nib; and most of the third party nibs aren't as good as the one that comes with it.
That was the killer for me, as someone who only uses my tablet for art and drawing, when the pen nibs break, my tablet loses all functionality for me, and I can't keep spending money on garbage third party nibs that don't even work as well, I'd rather have a pen with a multi-year lifespan and replace the whole thing, than one pen I need to continually fix because the nibs only last between 3 to 6 months with heavy use, and I draw for multiple hours every day being a graphic design student...
hi i saw a comment where it said you can use other pens with the samsung tablet, like the pen from the wacom one. it just won’t have bluetooth and you will have to pay extra, but i’m sure those pens will have easier accessible nibs
at first I wanted to buy an iPad, since almost all of my colleague is suggested me to buy one. but after some research... the no need to recharge and bundled pen, the seamless integration with windows 10... well...TAB s7+ is FTW!
Both superb tablets. Very difficult to decide a best. For media I prefer the tab. For general web browsing the iPad. Can’t go wrong with either. The extra power on the iPad is a plus. But a lot of that brute power isn’t made use off.
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy tablet S7. To use for digital art and it is amazing. Like it's a big plus to have the spen included. Plus if you have a samsung phone. They connect so what I save to my phone is on my tablet and vice versa. Like I had a co-worker who is going to buy the Apple Pro for digital art but I brought in my tablet to show her that the S7 is just as good plus way more budget-friendly. She was convinced.
I think its a better position to charge the pencil on the backside, cause that way it doesn't act like a distraction when you want to view anything on the screen. Charging on the top side will irritate me soo much cause the pencil will always be in view.
@@debv.c I think u haven't used S pen, thats y u r saying so.. And it doesn't matter quality when u r using any pen for note making purpose. And for usability, I would not comment anything, because u know nothing about S-pen. So u use ur apple pencil I ll use Spen.. 😃😃👍 And most importantly writing experience of Spen is far far far more better than Apple.
@@vishalsrivastav4815 I am actually coming from s pen and have shifted to apple pencil. As soon as I got the s pen out of the box, the tip was frayed, and that's not the case with apple. The s pen sometimes does not respond, whereas the apple pencil always responds. And don't even get me started on the way the s pen's body is yellowing. So, don't comment assuming I know nothing about what I'm saying. Alas, enjoy your s pen and I'll enjoy my APPLE PENCIL. PEACE ✌
@@debv.c Ok bro got it... PEACE 👍... But I still say that u haven't used S pen, and u urself admitted that S pen inside the box was not good. So thats y, may be ur experience is not same as mine.. I used a Good S pen and it is definitely better while taking notes than Apple pencil. And I like using its other features also which is sadly not there is apple. 🙄🙂🙂👍
Personally I use my iPad to take notes & most of the time I use it with my keyboard so those extra features I don’t even look for.. what I like about my iPad is that I can answer calls & text from it while I’m studying & to me that’s all I need but I would love to try out a galaxy tab
I prefer the Pencil 2 because it doesn't hurt to touch any screen. with the spen, there may be a bad screen space when you want to draw. the pencil for writing and drawing alone is very easy without bothering. 😉
you're a very great informed reference for detailed information... i have the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone, and the Ipad Pro... but i've been wanting to get additional tablet with a different form factor to drawn on.. & i love that Samsung STILL allows you to add a SD memory card (to increase memory, and have a more private place to back up and save - off of public clouds).. so i'm doing research before i dive in... & i watched some of your vids.. you're videos are the bomb.. Yeah, i subscribed hahaha PS. i'm an artist, and i tend to like the feel of the S Pen better.. i have the Apple pen.. and it always needs to be charged. There's no way to turn it off (yeah, there are work arounds.. but it's work). The S Pen doesn't need to be charged.. it just works. & it comes included with the Tablet. Apple is always charging more for less. & i'm not an Apple hater.. i have 3 of their old tablets i bought when they first came out. I do music too, and their apps & hardware have always been superior to Samsungs for creative purposes (because of their low latency).. Samsung is just catching up.. but when i got the S21 Ultra, i see that they have made very big strides..
I can say that S7 plus is a better choice, it is much cheaper, you have a free S pen. Although the M1 processor is much faster than Snapdragon. But to be honest, it's the same. Most of us won't run any heavy tasks that require a lot of power In a tablet. We will normally use a computer to accomplish them. In tablet most of us usually use it to watch videos, surf the Internet, and reading, so the speed really doesn't matter. So get s7 plus is a better choice
I've never own these tablets and thinking of buying one in near future. I know picking samsung is better choice for me because I'm more of android and PC user and it'll work great with tab. All of the spen features, multitask, dex, external screen,freedom just awesome. But I'm buying tablet for art purpose and nearly all off the RUclips artist choose iPad over Tab
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, and own an iPad 10.2 inch (2019) model and I absolutely love both for their own features. So seeing the comparison going as the newer devices come out for both Apple and Samsung is absolutely incredible to see. Now, my iPad is only Wi-Fi, where as my Galaxy Tab has a data chip slot inside of it. one of the biggest perks was my Galaxy Tab offers expandable memory. I love Note taking on both, but different ways. I actually would bring two tablets into class instead of bringing in a laptop in college. I bought a keyboard that had the ability to connect to Bluetooth to three different devices. I loved pulling up my iPad into a notepad for handwritten notes on the PowerPoint or on a note taking app. I loved using my Galaxy tab and the s pen and my keyboard to take notes while typing and to navigate really fast, like you said, you don't have to juggle between using finger and pen, you can just use the pen. I have to use the older style of Apple Pencil, the one where you have to charge it, without connecting it to the iPad itself, and that is my biggest caviat of the iPad. It's another thing you have to remember to charge, or keep charged.
hii, I'm thinking of buying a tablet to draw, and play videogames, since you have an iPad and a samsung tab, wich one do u recommend the most? I've sen many ppl that prefers samsung and others that prefers iPad so I'm kinda confused..
I am telling you, Apple beats Samsung in the marketing department hands down. Apple not just makes overpriced products but also manages to convince people to purchase them!

Samsung should show off their features just like every other brand.
They are always silent about it and the features just stay in their device
It's because big RUclipsrs like MKBHD don't talk about it they only care about Apple.

So if people wanted to get the new pen, they'd have to essentially chuck their old ipad and get the new one too. I'm basically stuck with this ipad and pen unless I'm willing to spend a lot more damn money.
You’re right, the Apple Pencil looks like it was made for sketching and shading with the angled tip while the S pen was made for writing with a sharp pen tip.
Funny how the S pen is actually better for drawing.

I'm with the S-Pen. It existed and worked great when Apple was still in their "we are never going to make a stylus" phase. I never understood why other artists were so set on Apple products even when they weren't set up for an art experience. People were buying third party styluses that didn't work great just to be able to use it with the iPad when Samsung was over here with a product that worked.
I have to note, that an Heavy factor in deciding which, is procreate in my opinion. Very good program with a one-time purchase plan.
@Gabriel Gledhill people just use ipad because they think everything apple does is the best because is expensive when it's actually not
@Gabriel Gledhill "superior functionality" LOL
@@abcdefgasdfg no he’s right. Im an artist and I can never use any android tablet period. Because there’s no adobe apps or pro create on them. Plus I doubt any android tablet would be as powerful enough as the iPad to support those apps.
@@irabflores3531 the iPad has been the gold standard for tablets for ages. It's not just because it's Apple. Samsung is definitely catching up though, which is great because it forces Apple to innovate. We all win here.
As someone who uses an iPad (8th generation) and apple pencil combo, I must say that the Samsung tablet looks quite impressive! The rubbery tip seems more ideal for note taking.

wow it's crazy how few people talk about that. I had the samsung galaxy Tab 10.1 (2011) version . BEST writting tablet I have ever used. It had the best writting experience. I upgraded to the samsung tab 12.1 in the next year and was so disappointed beacause it had that issue with the "glides on glass" effect that felt so unnatural. I kept going back to my old slow 10.1 tab till I stopped taking notes. I still miss it and remeber fondly how awesome it was to take notes on it.

like tbh samsung is cheaper than apple which is very good 😭
@@aayushiisingh425 Boox Note Air
Using both I tend to lean more towards the S-Pen for drawing/art. Simply for the rubbery tip on the S-Pen. iPad requires a matte screen protector that wears down the nib because that glass is way to slick. Great content 👍🏾
great to know that some drawing artists prefer the s-pen 👍
A real pencil has hard tip
@@MzwandileHarmans a real pencil is made of lead in which the level of hardness can vary from a standard hb pencil. When drawing on paper it has resistance. Apple pencil draws on glass and without a rubbery nib or matte screen protector has no resistance. It's what I mean and in order to get a real feel you have to add extras to the iPad where you can just use the tabs7+ as soon as you take it out the box. 🙏🏾
what drawing/art apps are available for the galaxy tab? I always hear pro create is the best and that samsung havent got many app choices.
@@exory_ Clip Studio Paint, Infinite Painter, krita, and ibis are the best imo. With infinite painter being most similar to pro create.
Personally, I have the S7+. I've had Samsung devices for a while, now. But since getting this one, I find myself using it in Dex mode mostly. It operates and handles just like a laptop, and with Microsoft 365, it really is perfect for that. I very rarely use the S pen, but do occasionally play around with it and Autodesk for drawing.
How long have you been working with it !?
Can I use it on ipad??
@@gunjanpandey2585 no
I'm actually torn between buying a laptop or a tablet. But I'm putting my faith on your comment that Galaxy Tab A can work as a laptop :D
@@czaweenuh get a laptop
I am a business student and I have both of these. My story is that I cracked my S7+ screen last semester and I had to send it to Samsung to get fixed (thanks to premium care). So I was excited to take my iPad pro and dust it off and really "lean into it" until I got my Tab back (which together with the tab S6 before it I had been using for years in school). I tried it for a solid week, but in the end, it just couldn't do what my Tabs could do as far as the overall experience for note-taking, reading, and things of that nature. Sure, the iPad CAN do all of those things, but the experience is just....sub-par by comparison to the tab experience.
So after a week or so I switched back to my Tab S6 until my repair was complete (almost 2 months, but that's a different story) and didn't miss a beat.
I don't know if it's better integrated with Microsoft office, or just that the alternatives on iOS are just lacking by comparison, but the experience was not great. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was far better on the Tab S6.
If I have to use my tab for over 5 years then, should I go for tab s7+ or ipad for display quality ( considering screen burning issue on amoled display) ?
Could you elaborate which areas in particular the experience didn’t match up to the iPad. I’m curious about the differences in the tablet OSes.
@@User-cb4jm Sure. Let me just preface by saying that while the tab worked best in my experience the iPad didn't do anything poorly. If you are starting out with either I'm sure it would be fine for what you need it for. but I started with the Galaxy Tab so the multitasking, the note-taking, the translating, the handwriting into text, being integrated with office suite and G-suite (in a more roundabout way) was almost effortless and snappy.
The iPad writing didn't feel as good as Thao mentions in her comparison but the ease of things like smart select is a game-changer in my opinion especially if you need to just pull a picture from the internet and put it into a document. I'm sure you can do it on iOS, but it's just....less intuitive.
on the iPad everything just felt disconnected. The best note apps couldn't connect to my suites, the standard note apps didn't sync with my suite, and while the office suite did work on the iPad, it wasn't as intuitive as it was on my tab. It felt like there was less I could do with my actual text in OneNote on the iPad compared to the Tab as well.
It really just depends on what you start with. Both are premium devices and have tons of features and whatnot, but in my experience, the way the Tab works is just easier and more efficient. I didn't have years of learning how to use the tabs either, the Tab S6 was my first premium tablet and I only started leaning into using it for school work right before the pandemic hit. I was able to just pick it up and do things without much of a learning curve which is why I was expecting more from my iPad pro (2020 version if that matters), but it just didn't work as well.
Full disclosure though my daily driver has been a Samsung device for a long time, and I've done light work on my phone for years as to where my iPhone XS I use more casually, though I do know my way around the OS.
But that's just my experience, I'm sure if you are starting from having nothing, it depends on what system it will be used with. If you have macs then you can probably get the iPhone to work best with that for what you need, but if you have any other system then the Tab will probably be the way to go. Just depends mostly on your circumstances
@@saqlainansari9081 If you're afraid of burn-in, get the regular 11-inch Tab S7 instead.
@@User-cb4jm Long story short, iPad easily trumps Tab S7 and any tablets with its well optimized app ecosystem specifically crafted for iPad especially pro apps like Procreate, Lumafusion etc but for OS software itself, Android with One UI on Tab S7 actually feel more practical, more comprehensive especially with features like Dex, better file management and external screen support. Hope this helps ...
I'm an avid Samsung user and am looking at getting the tab s8 and totally expected the Apple Pencil and iPad to win in a landslide. This is really interesting to hear tho as I never hear about the advancement that Samsung has made in these categories
As someone who used the S7 consistently for artistic purposes, I'm surprised no one ever mentions that the spen nib wears out in time. The spen white rubber nib wears out and frays in 3 months of heavy use, and the harder black nib wore down in about a year for me, while the nibs are replaceable, Samsung doesn't offer them and you have to source them from online stores,
I have a Samsung s6 lite, and the nib is still functional after 2 years of use as an artist. While it did get dirty, I had 0 problems with it
Hi I am new to digital art... can you help me with the apps that we can use for digital art in samsung s7 plus tab
I agree
For drawing I prefer the S-Pen. I don’t slip and slide and the nib adds resistance and buttery feel like brush pen.
I feel the same experiences as writing on paper
But the range of angle is more on Apple pencil
@@DarkPa1adin Pencil vs Pen
Samsung's laptops has S Pens that work with tilt detection
they also provide two different types of nibs. the black ones are great for writting because of how hard the nib is whilst the soft nib is great for drawing :)
@@박다니-u5o yes That's true and user can use which one is comfortable to use that's amazing
Great video! I used the iPad Pro 2020 for the better part of year before picking up the Tab s7+ a couple months ago. I ended up giving the iPad to my wife. Like you said, both are a good experience, but the S7+ is a better fit for me. It might be because I am a long time Note user, but the S-Pen just feels better in every way compared to the Apple Pencil. Like you said, OS preferences will be a factor and you really can't go wrong with either.
And then there is me.
After cleaning the screen, i use the pen when i watch movies or change between episodes to avoid fingerprints. I kid you not. The drawing part is fairly minimal.
You CAN go wrong with android because one of the hidden cost of owning android devices is the abysmal product support with security updates and only patch it for two years before they cease their support. My iPad Pro 2015 is still supported despite being 7 years old and thats one of the reason why I’ll always go apple.
@@slampest Wow, guess what? That way you’re increasing the possibility of scratching your screen because of the dust debris getting caught in pencils tip. Your finger is way safer if you’re that paranoid.
@@StonerSquirrel they upped that to 5 years. And if youre no 60 year old boomer you can install the latest security updates on old android devices via a root. Something that Apple will NEVER have. Therefore android devices technically get longer updates than apple. But if you buy apple because its "easier to use and more simple and user friendly" then ig this is nothing for you.
@@StonerSquirrel atleast we can fix our own devices the way we want to
Don't forget that you also have options if you go the S-pen route. Since it used standard Wacom EMR, there are a couple third party pens with higher quality and better grip. Example includes Staedler EMR, LAMY AL-STAR EMR, Mitsubishi Hi-Uni Digital and even the Wacom One pen (that was used in Wacom One Display and available to purchase separately).
All of them works with Samsung S-pen devices, so you can carry one pen and use it with both S21 Ultra and Tab S7. That said, Bluetooth functionality (remote-thingy) won't work unless you use the included S-pen, but for the intended purpose, these can works better and more comfortable.
Which one is the best
@@mumbimwaura1297 personally, I think LAMY one is the best, but also is the most expensive.
Woah this is cool. Thanks for mentioning this!
For me as an artist, I'll go for the S PEN. I like when the tip of my pen is thin. It helps see through tiny lines. Plus all the extra functions and the fact that you don't need to use it only when it's charged. That was a great review, though.
does it get slower or have any bugs over time.
I have both tabs. The spen tip feels waaaay better than the apple pencil. I wish apple gave you the option to switch to a softer tip that felt more like the spen.
there are plenty different pens available for iPad.
nothing in the world has so much choice for accessoiries like apple products
The s7 has so much magnets that you can hang it on every magnetboard
My iPad pro stick well too
I still love my tab S7. It's become more than just a tablet for me. It's like my own media/gaming paradise. Considering that I still have an IPad Pro 10.5, this tab S7 literally changed what I love about tablets. I've find myself wanting to learn more about my tab S7: drawing, painting, doing productivity work, etc... Things that I could hardly do on my IPad. And I still find myself learning more about my tablet since I bought it 3 months ago.
Don't forget that you an install game emulators on the Tab S7 if you want to play older retro games like Super Mario Bros., Sonic The Hedgehog, Mario Kart 64, etc.
I just wish it has desktop class browser like iPad OS, then it would be perfect for me.

Another advantage of spen is that one can change to use LAMY EMR and Noris series to experience better hand feeling. Moreover, the nib is changable, and there are rich selections of nibs in the market designed for professional wacom devices with various features.

Very good review.
One more important difference between iPad Pro and S7 is software updates.IPad gets updates for 6 to 7 years.But S7 ,like any other android device gets updates for only 2 or 3 years.I request all reviewers to point out and highlight this difference ,so that a change may come in android manufacturers and hopefully they start giving updates for longer periods.
Samsung gets year updates and 4 years software updates, and u can use ur ipad for more 2 years without update.

Truee
While I do not have an iPad, I used to have the iPad 2 and I loved the gesture navigation on it. It is something I miss when using my Tab S7+ at times without the pen. Being able to swipe between apps, go home, and see recent apps was nice with just your hand. However the usefulness of the S Pen however does eliminate that and I find myself just placing the S Pen on the top of my tablet whenever I start using it. As you said the battery only matters when using BT functionally but I have had very long sessions and barely seen the S Pen's batter go down even into the 75% range. It seems it only really uses batter when actually using the BT functionality, so it can last very long based on usage.
Sorry? Doesn't the tab s7+ use the bottom bar to navigate through recent apps, switching between apps and home? I've used ipad pro before i believe the function is still the same
You can still write normally when the battery runs out
1:34 there are also wacom protocolls like aes and wgp that do require the pen to be charged to work.

I haven't use android tablet for a long time so I don't know if S tablet will got the update OS support as long as iPad or not. Both seems great after all.
The fact that you have to replace the Appel pencil tip if you use it often, it shows how much the Samsung TAB S7 + is valuable in terms of price and quality
Nah, its the same with spen. The tip usually last 6 minth to 2 years so if youre a heavy user youre gonna have change the tip
Yup
But 2 years of changing the tip
Isn’t even close to Apple Pencil which is known for its Tip replacement
They are both great! but for artists the apple pencil combined with procreate is amazing !
I wish Adobe would make Photoshop app available for these Samsung tablets like iPads have. It would be amazing to use the spen with it.
Yeah, I hope they'd port the PC version like how Krita, clip studio was ported from PC to Galaxy Tab. I guess Samsung has to pay them to do it.
Use emulator don't forget your on Android bro

@@Toyeboy89Get your facts right. The CPU isn't by any means "slow". Snapdragon 8CX in PCs (based on snapdragon 855 from 2 years ago) run Photoshop just fine.

I've been curious about this for a long time!!
I used to like the spen feel, but I like the way the Apple Pencil glides over the iPad Pro.
So personally I would prefer the S7 for most to all of my student work as it looks like (to me) that it would be better for that, BUT I believe that the iPad would do a lot better when it comes to a lot more advanced things that require great speed and reliability, but really both are extremely good tablets.

I primarily use my tab s7 for note taking pdf sketch ups and podcast consumption. works great for all that and the included dex mode is invaluable for school work.
Hi Harry, when you write on the S7 is the action almost silent compared to the plastic apple pencil on glass?
I have an ipad mini with apple pencil one and a Note 20 ultra and a Microsoft Surface Go. The spen on the Note 20 is silent, which I like when using around other people. The iPad makes an annoying clacking sound with every stroke. The Surface Go is okay but the pen still makes a slight clicking sound as the nib presses in on contact.
I trying to decide between an expensive Surface Pro 8 or a S7+.
From an iPad user's perspective (iPad Air 4), Tab s7 is way superior in terms of hardware specifications and software experience. However, the lack of pro apps like Lumafusion and Affinity Photos just forced me to go for the iPad
I wish i got the samsung :(
i think clip studio works on s7 ... ( not sure though)
its now on tab s8 too. I mean Lumafusion :)
In terms of hardware the ipad air 4 is way better than the s7, even the s8, apple silicone is nothing to scoff at!
Nah,the thing that stops me
Is that ipad is waaay to expensive,like,too much where i live
And even if i am an artist,i personally find samsung better for me
It was actually Thao's incredible reviews that convinced me to get the S7+. It was a wonderful 6 months of continuous dating with the tab until...
...it just doesn't have the apps and hardware-to-software seamless interface for my specific needs. Notwithstanding Autodesk Sketchbook kept crashing even if I only had 7 layers on my work. I would liken the S7+ as a good jack-of-all-trades.
Still...another very informative review.
When i figured out the screen shot with a swipe I was dancing. Great review. Honest and no BS.
Hey Thao! As you were saying that nor apple nor Samsung have erasers on the back of their styluses. Microsoft has an eraser at the back of it's styluses
Let me be honest here I just love how minimalist the videos are and I want to follow just for the S7+ but now I just watch every video
Btw thanks for all the great reviews on S7+ please do more in the future🤗🤗
You should get a M5 or M7 Samsung Smart Monitor for review.
Can you please do a video of how the S7+ is reading ebooks and taking notes from them, such as one would do with classwork
Thao, you're the best! I love learning more about my Samsung device with your videos, it's really useful!
Great video!! Helped me a lot with my decision
Overall experience, I still do prefer the Tab S7+ especially the Spen and the overall Samsung hardware and software, but the iPad still have better "pro" apps ecosystem compared to android overall.
I take lecture notes with my note 20 all the time, and the tiny spen already feels good. Imagine how awesome I can be with wide screen a bigger spen
Been using my tab S7/s pen for drawing for a few months now; really loving it. Have to say though, samsung REALLY need to make spare nibs more accessible... Anyone who is really regularly using their pen has that worry about wearing down the nib; and most of the third party nibs aren't as good as the one that comes with it.
That was the killer for me, as someone who only uses my tablet for art and drawing, when the pen nibs break, my tablet loses all functionality for me, and I can't keep spending money on garbage third party nibs that don't even work as well, I'd rather have a pen with a multi-year lifespan and replace the whole thing, than one pen I need to continually fix because the nibs only last between 3 to 6 months with heavy use, and I draw for multiple hours every day being a graphic design student...
hi i saw a comment where it said you can use other pens with the samsung tablet, like the pen from the wacom one. it just won’t have bluetooth and you will have to pay extra, but i’m sure those pens will have easier accessible nibs
U are so good at reviewing things!

@@vishalsrivastav4815 i agree... apple pencil's tip is a bit bigger and makes it harder to be precise. Overall Spen is the best at the moment
@@vishalsrivastav4815 I am actually coming from s pen and have shifted to apple pencil. As soon as I got the s pen out of the box, the tip was frayed, and that's not the case with apple. The s pen sometimes does not respond, whereas the apple pencil always responds. And don't even get me started on the way the s pen's body is yellowing. So, don't comment assuming I know nothing about what I'm saying. Alas, enjoy your s pen and I'll enjoy my APPLE PENCIL.
PEACE ✌
@@debv.c Ok bro got it... PEACE 👍...
But I still say that u haven't used S pen, and u urself admitted that S pen inside the box was not good. So thats y, may be ur experience is not same as mine.. I used a Good S pen and it is definitely better while taking notes than Apple pencil. And I like using its other features also which is sadly not there is apple. 🙄🙂🙂👍
I am looking for a tablet mostly for taking notes for my studies, thanks alot for a great video!
Thanks for this video it helped a lot ✍🏼
3:02 i really like that feature i can easily erase and customizable too
I just love your videos. Great quality, informative and useful. And fun to watch! Continue your great work!
Personally I use my iPad to take notes & most of the time I use it with my keyboard so those extra features I don’t even look for.. what I like about my iPad is that I can answer calls & text from it while I’m studying & to me that’s all I need but I would love to try out a galaxy tab
Quite the useful video. Kudos!
I prefer the Pencil 2 because it doesn't hurt to touch any screen. with the spen, there may be a bad screen space when you want to draw. the pencil for writing and drawing alone is very easy without bothering. 😉
you're a very great informed reference for detailed information... i have the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone, and the Ipad Pro... but i've been wanting to get additional tablet with a different form factor to drawn on.. & i love that Samsung STILL allows you to add a SD memory card (to increase memory, and have a more private place to back up and save - off of public clouds).. so i'm doing research before i dive in... & i watched some of your vids.. you're videos are the bomb.. Yeah, i subscribed hahaha PS. i'm an artist, and i tend to like the feel of the S Pen better.. i have the Apple pen.. and it always needs to be charged. There's no way to turn it off (yeah, there are work arounds.. but it's work). The S Pen doesn't need to be charged.. it just works. & it comes included with the Tablet. Apple is always charging more for less. & i'm not an Apple hater.. i have 3 of their old tablets i bought when they first came out. I do music too, and their apps & hardware have always been superior to Samsungs for creative purposes (because of their low latency).. Samsung is just catching up.. but when i got the S21 Ultra, i see that they have made very big strides..
I feel like a lot of functionality can be overwhelming and ends up not being used to its full potential
this is a core fundamental of things tech, also reliability and consistency play in the same ballpark.
Finally a fair and objective review of both tablets!
Love your explanation. 2 years ago, but still, this is all useful information
thank youu! your review are so helpfull..
Great comparison. Samsung needs to adopt a 4:3 aspect ratio for better note taking and sketching
Please review the S7 FE when you get your hands on it
No they don't. 16:10 is the better aspect ratio overall for most things.
Can u plz make more vids comparing samsung tabs and apple tabs
I can say that S7 plus is a better choice, it is much cheaper, you have a free S pen. Although the M1 processor is much faster than Snapdragon. But to be honest, it's the same. Most of us won't run any heavy tasks that require a lot of power In a tablet. We will normally use a computer to accomplish them.
In tablet most of us usually use it to watch videos, surf the Internet, and reading, so the speed really doesn't matter. So get s7 plus is a better choice
It’s not free, it’s just included in the price
@@-rarefied-8280 but why the price is lower overall?
@@chenmoney1920 😔 apple really thinks we're rich
I think this video deserves a 2023 update comparing the the iPad Pro vs Galaxy Tab vs Surface Pro. Cheers!
This was so helpful, thanku
I've never own these tablets and thinking of buying one in near future. I know picking samsung is better choice for me because I'm more of android and PC user and it'll work great with tab. All of the spen features, multitask, dex, external screen,freedom just awesome. But I'm buying tablet for art purpose and nearly all off the RUclips artist choose iPad over Tab
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, and own an iPad 10.2 inch (2019) model and I absolutely love both for their own features. So seeing the comparison going as the newer devices come out for both Apple and Samsung is absolutely incredible to see. Now, my iPad is only Wi-Fi, where as my Galaxy Tab has a data chip slot inside of it.
one of the biggest perks was my Galaxy Tab offers expandable memory. I love Note taking on both, but different ways.
I actually would bring two tablets into class instead of bringing in a laptop in college. I bought a keyboard that had the ability to connect to Bluetooth to three different devices.
I loved pulling up my iPad into a notepad for handwritten notes on the PowerPoint or on a note taking app.
I loved using my Galaxy tab and the s pen and my keyboard to take notes while typing and to navigate really fast, like you said, you don't have to juggle between using finger and pen, you can just use the pen.
I have to use the older style of Apple Pencil, the one where you have to charge it, without connecting it to the iPad itself, and that is my biggest caviat of the iPad. It's another thing you have to remember to charge, or keep charged.
hii, I'm thinking of buying a tablet to draw, and play videogames, since you have an iPad and a samsung tab, wich one do u recommend the most? I've sen many ppl that prefers samsung and others that prefers iPad so I'm kinda confused..
I am telling you, Apple beats Samsung in the marketing department hands down. Apple not just makes overpriced products but also manages to convince people to purchase them!
