Which is better, the Samsung Tab S9 Ultra or the iPad Air 13inch? The Tab S9 Ultra is at 850 and the iPad Air is at 679, not to mention that it does not come with the Apple Pencil.
Best objective non biased reviews out there.. for me I prefer the Samsung.. both impressive devices but the free S-pen.. faster refresh rate and expandable memory swayed me in that direction. 🙏
@@Johnmims65i have 15p and MacBookp m3, i choose samsung because if media consumption and you can download apps through internet which is apk, but why i have apple products? Simply because of the security, optimization, and social status
I actually prefer samsung or any androids too, and for the longest time my last ios was iphone 6 because of their crazy pricing, but this time I am going with ipad air, the cost of 256gb s10+ is around 1350 on sale here in canada right now, 1550 regular price, youre closed to getting an ipad pro 256 at the point, while the ipad air m2 256 is 950 cad, how the hell did samsung cost more this time around? I havent payed attention to tabs until recently, but damn I saw some vids were even the regular ipad 10 gen is going toe to toe against s10+ excluding refresh ofcourse when it comes to raw performance, heck you can even get ipad pro 7th gen open boxes for less, and even less on bestbuy marketplace.
Used to own the whole apple ecosystem, had an 11 inch ipad pro with m1, had to change to windows due to work and realized I was bored of my ipad, yes, really powerful but not much to do unless you were using video or photo editing tools, so things I donˋt use, now I have a galaxy tab s9+ and love it, perfect to use while in a plane, good for casual gamming check emails and all of the things that I like with a better display, 512 gb of storage, awesome pencil an way cheaper, also DEX has saved a ton of times so is my safe to carry device, unlike the ipad.
same here. Was bored of M1 iPad Pro because of the limiting software and OS there was no where to use that power of hardware. was no fun. Just iPhone on a larger screen without WhatsApp. Also for multimedia the aspect ratio of iPads suck.
For me i have the tab s8 and the s9 is more fun to use w the s pen in box , micro sd card for expendable memory, open OS, higher level multi tasking, no limitations etc
I've used both extensively. Would say that if you're a student and looking for a 'one for all' solution, tab s9+ with the keyboard is better for you. You can do all your work, consume media, play/stream games and dabble in digital art. Its the better all rounder. If you're a digital artist / creator, definitely go for the iPad air. the S9 lagged a lot for me in demanding apps, experienced stutters when selecting tools, palm rejection wasn't as good and the s-pen periodically did weird things. no issues with any of that with the iPad. Android fans might argue that the s9 is equally good when it comes to creating but in my experience, its not true. all those little niggles do become a huge bother when you're in the zone and made me resent using it so picked up the 2024 iPad air instead.
Lee - thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to share your extensive experience with both. I think you provided a very balanced and helpful perspective. I appreciate you for being part of the channel!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm a student which is my main use, but will also be editing video so I think the ipad is probably better for me. My ecosystem is samsung tho :(
I purchased a new 1TB Galaxy Tab S9+ with the slim keyboard for $1,000 before taxes off of someone from EBay. I was going to buy the new iPad Air but once I added it to cart with the keyboard, it came up to $1,600 so I rather save the $600 and go with the 1TB S9+.

My iPad Pro (old model) is literally bent, curved, it fell from 6 feet.. a nod due to my stupidity..it fell..twice, and I’m not even kidding. Now it’s the first iPad curved screen. Still works I want a new one
Got the M2 iPad Pro 12.9 for my wife who thought she wanted the Air 13. The mini-LED and Tbolt port were the deciding factors. Same keyboard for both and she already has a Pencil 2 so a no brainer. Crazy part is the price for a 256GB M2 Pro was so close to the Air with 512GB that it made no sense, especially with how you can easily use external storage with Pro models. I bet the M2 Pros go on intermittent sales until supplies run out. They’ll be supported for years, but Apple has to stock making them or the Air sales will stall when I bet they were hoping for big sales.
Aspect ratio wise, the closer it is to 1 (i.e. 1:1), the higher the viewing area for the same diagonal length. Simple calculation will tell, A = d² x l x w / sqrt( l² + w²). 1 x 1/sqrt(1+1) = 0.707, 4 x 3 /sqrt 25 = 0.48, As the aspect ratio grows longer, the denominator grows faster. Of course, usability and practicality is a factor, but nowadays phone is just about the same area as a Samsung Note III, despite having a longer diagonal
S-pen you can change the tip of you don't like the feel on the screen. I took advantage and it's awesome. Also screen protectors that feel like paper when you write is usually for artist but feels great for taking notes as well.
If the Galaxy Tab S9+ (actually any Galaxy Tab for that matter) had the aspect ratio of an iPad I'd take the Tab any day over the iPad. I use my tablet for digital art, and the more square shape works better - for me. I wouldn't turn either down if someone wanted to give me one lol - but because of the aspect ratio, i prefer the iPad. Wouldn't it be amazing if Samsung brought out a tablet with an aspect ration like the iPad? I'd buy that.
The biggest turn off for me with the ipad is the screen ratio....still using my s8 + and ultra....and watching movies on it , is just great....not as great as on a big tv....but still.... with the 13 inch ipad the only things getting bigger are the black bars.....but correct me if I am wrong....thanks for the vid!
Check € and $ prices. Cheapest 13" Pro I believe is $1299 which translates to 1196,70€, but it is 1579€. That is more than $400. And yeah some states in the US have to pay tax which I believe is 5-9%, still crazy difference, but it's the same for all products these days. Almost.

I say, buy neither and wait until either iPadOS becomes more capable & open, and the iPad Air gets 120Hz support, or Samsung gets close to Apple in terms of raw performance.
I was 100% sure I wanted the iPad...until watching the video. All the great marketing of apple was literally shattered by the reality of the test. Thanks man - you saved me a lot of money!
I was quite ambivalent between the supposedly-cheaper Samsung and the better-perfomance Ipad (except the 60hz display) until I saw Samsung is more expensive. You could argue it has a 120hz display and includes the pen, but no, in 4-5 years time that thing probably won't be able to handle newer, more demanding apps. For that same price, get yourself a Xiaomi or Huawei tablet, they're much better values, or pay $100-200 more for the Ipad pro
Great video ! As a futur medical student i want to buy my first tablet. I'm quite interested by the new Ipad air but it will be my first apple device. Is it a problem ? And which tablet offers the best softwares for a med student ? If someone could advice me I will me delighted.

Should I get the Galaxy Tab s9+ or the 13-inch iPad Air for notetaking? I've had a tablet years ago but it began to slow down after a few years and now I currently own an iPad and it still works fine (after 6 yrs). I have a Samsung phone so I thought it would be better for me to get the Galaxy Tab s9+ and the S pen is included, I love how we can expand the storage as well. I want something that will last me about 4 yrs or so, and I intend to do light work such as a annotating/note taking, watching lectures, anything that is school related. Which one should I go for?
Get the Ipad. Always disappointed with every Samsung product I have ever bought. Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 15 was the last straw. Ipad is better for note taking 100% and office apps, Adobe Apps etc all run silky smooth due to the m2. If you want to run emulators go ahead and get the S9.
processing power wins the day. s9+ got a superior display that was let down by inferior processing, air13 was let down by the 60hz display when it's got great processing. s10+ is still behind in processing power.
Genuine question and i've been back and forth between Samsung and apple tablets, i need the apps on iOS but i think Samsung tablets are just better. I'm gonna study computers, games, so i need art apps like procreate but nomad sculpt is also a necessary app but it's 20 bucks on IOS (from what i've heard) also i think it's kinda hard to operate on IOS as a loyal android user, so any help? (i have up to 1,300 JOD to spend) keep in mind i need to multi task, draw, and take notes (NOTE: i want to use good notes but also a pen (s pen or apple pencil) i'm really torn)
Hello,in your opinion, which one is better ipad air 13 or ipad pro m1 12.9? I am not creator or anything I'm just a student so i will be using it for note taking,studying,media consumption and some gaming what will be better 120hz but with m1,bluetooth 5 (idon't care a lot about the other difference)or m2 and BT 5.3 but 60hz? I have glaxy s21ultra, so will i miss the high refresh rate on the air in studying and gaming or the m2 Make it more snappy and not that crucial?
S9 ultra is more comparable to iPad Pro M4 13 inches, they are priced similarly..but the S9+ is around $999 which is slightly more expensive than the Air, but its worth it because u get the Spen included (u mentioned notetaking so u must be dropping 79 or 129 dollars on a pencil), dynamic amoled display, 2 cameras, and it will be integrated better with your s21 ultra.. Also personally i find samsung's spen better for notetaking as its a softer tip.. I have the tab S9 FE and I absolutely love the Spen...
I know this was 4 months ago but now that the tab s9 plus has come out please do a comparison of the tab s10 plus and the ipad air 13 inch because their very similar in price especially because of the fact that one comes with a pen and one doesn't
@@TechGearTalk For general purpose utility and productivity or content consumption pretty much any tablet over the past 5 years is probably sufficient for most users. For me to spend $800+ on one though there needs to be something a lot more specific than just being an elegant messaging, Netflix and RUclips slab. I buy Macs for Logic Pro and iPads for Procreate, but I have a PC for gaming. The software dictates the platform.
This is the new iPad Air. It came out last week. I compared the M4 iPad Pro to the Tabs S9 Ultra here: ruclips.net/video/QBFXPWWxRY8/видео.htmlsi=nxrNFCjFEvZ2Y6b4
@TechGearTalk Can you please tell which one to buy between samsung tab s9+ and ipad air 2024and apple pencil combo as I am getting both at same price. My main purpose is for notes and qbank solving and multimedia and on and off gaming??
Ipad m4 is incredible. M2 is also really decent for anyone below prosumer (being on their tablet too often) or actual professionals. Get the M2 Pro. Its better
Thanks for another enjoyable and balanced review. My son's birthday was on 5/19 (he's 43!) and I gifted him my 10th gen iPad. Some might consider that a self-serving act of kindness since I just purchased the M1 iPad Air 5 at Walmart for $399US, but we're both happy 🙂
Same. I'm a samsung user but I want to try ipad. But there's a lot features samsung have that ipad don't. And also the expandable storage. Still I can choose. Did you already buy one?
should i get the ipad air 11 or tab s9 plus ? i get them for the same price i have a windows pc and a iphone 15 and im only using my ipad for games like genshin impact, roblox and for netflix and youtube the 120 hz diplay is nice but i have bad experience with android and im scared that some apps are not good optimised i hope you answer me because i really dont know what to buy
ı currently use samsung s23 and ı need a tablet which one should ı choose for taking notes at uni as a dentistry student and also using for watching something but ı really want to use it in long term
@@padminipatel6159I choose iPad Air m2 btw because it looks more trustable and sometimes people are judge me because they are almost same prize and if ı choose Samsung over apple it looks like wrong choice
There is no comparison; it's a very simple choice: For entertainment, like watching videos and doing basic tasks, go for Samsung. For productivity, such as digital art, photo/video editing, and note-taking, go for the iPad.
This is the correct answer, The M2 is a beast on the Ipad and the support for productivity apps from Adobe, Microsoft and Final Cut as well all make it a better work tool. I keep seeing emulators mentioned for the S9 which is pretty funny.
@@tenwatts2378 Emulators? I draw and i thinking the 3 apps open is better for presentation on the s9, also want to do some video editing. Which do you think is best?
this is the best ipad by far. no issues and i love no fan noise and no more heating issues. if your picky and want more bell whistles and hype get the pro. i design and this machine can handle every level of it. great review it helped me get this ipad from your past videos on ipads! big thanks !
Is ipad air has AI technology as galaxy AI.. dont say apple is working on it.. this is ai world .. a little animation issue doesn’t matter.. nice technology matter
I’ve been wanting to upgrade from my iPad Air 4th gen to a galaxy tab s9+ or maybe even ultra, but idk if it’s worth it. The main reason I want to change is because I use my iPad a lot for gaming, and I really wanted to have multiple games at once in it, but don’t have enough storage space. Can anyone pls help me? I’m losing my mind over it
I think that s9 ultra is not worth it because its giant and might be too hard too handle and also s9 plus and ultra have the exact same performance and everything
Im more of an apple fan (i have an iphone) but I will probably get the s9 plus. the reason i will do that is because i need excellent performance and sideloading. Apple doesn't have sideloading. If we exclude sideloading, ipads are totally perfect. I hope I helped you
One last message Excellent performance: galaxy tab s9 plus (120hz) Balanced plus performance (not at the middle but also not perfect): galaxy tab s9 fe plus (90hz) Good performance: ipad Air 2020 (your tablet) ( 60hz)your tablet is still very good.
@@OHIOannis I like it because of it’s big size. Since I want to use it to play, the big screen is precisely what I’m looking for. But thank you for your answers, I’ll take them into consideration 🙏
You should compare recently lunch ipad air 13 to ipad pro 13 and previous year ipad pro 12.9 so we can see the gap between air and pro model price gap between them its worth to upgrade or which one to buy according to price point 🙏🏻
@@zungaloca i need your suggestion, im torn between these two. Ipad m2 and galaxy s9+ i graduated already. And i need it for reviewing/study and zoom calls meeting. For my upcoming board exam. Also for watching movies and slight gaming like PUBG or COD. BUT! i have an iphone 12 pro max.
Thank you so much for watching. Just a heads up - that is mentioned twice in the video. Once in the stylus section and once in the final thoughts. Hope that helps clear up the facts for you. Have an amazing day.
Better samsung cause included pen why wastes money on pen not included get the ultra for 1200 now price dropping 1300 for apple no pen ultra 14 inch with pen
I wish I could willingly bring myself to buy a Samsung peofuct. I’m sure they’re make good phones and tablets. I’ll just never know. I’m sure they’re a better deal, I’d just rather spend an extra few hundred on the m4 pro 13

That's definitely an excellent option (especially if you can even get close in price)
I don’t agree
@@DeathMetalJediwhy?
Apple need to add "Handle With Care" note 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or "Only fold along the long side".
I was 100% sure I wanted the iPad...until watching the video. All the great marketing of apple was literally shattered by the reality of the test.
Thanks man - you saved me a lot of money!
I can get a S9+ 5G for $300
Should I pull the trigger and purchase it? What would you do?
Yea man that's a deal. Can always trade in in the next year for something newer
I am deep inside Samsung ecosystem and I get 100% value for money.
For zoom calls meetings, which is better? Or equally good?
Thanks for watching! Either would easily accommodate a basic zoom call.
I was quite ambivalent between the supposedly-cheaper Samsung and the better-perfomance Ipad (except the 60hz display) until I saw Samsung is more expensive. You could argue it has a 120hz display and includes the pen, but no, in 4-5 years time that thing probably won't be able to handle newer, more demanding apps. For that same price, get yourself a Xiaomi or Huawei tablet, they're much better values, or pay $100-200 more for the Ipad pro
Great video !
As a futur medical student i want to buy my first tablet. I'm quite interested by the new Ipad air but it will be my first apple device. Is it a problem ? And which tablet offers the best softwares for a med student ? If someone could advice me I will me delighted.
If u have other apple products then it will be easy to sync. But i fu have android/windows products then go for samsung
Would you compare ipad air 13 and s9 ultra? Thank you
I did an iPad Pro 13 comparison with the S9 Ultra because it was a more appropriate comparison: ruclips.net/video/QBFXPWWxRY8/видео.html I hope that helps.
Should I get the Galaxy Tab s9+ or the 13-inch iPad Air for notetaking? I've had a tablet years ago but it began to slow down after a few years and now I currently own an iPad and it still works fine (after 6 yrs). I have a Samsung phone so I thought it would be better for me to get the Galaxy Tab s9+ and the S pen is included, I love how we can expand the storage as well. I want something that will last me about 4 yrs or so, and I intend to do light work such as a annotating/note taking, watching lectures, anything that is school related. Which one should I go for?
Go for iPad. I am also buying ipad air 13 m2 chip as my first tab for study purpose.
Samsung
Do you know people who own both, even if it’s separate people? You can ask them.
Get the Ipad. Always disappointed with every Samsung product I have ever bought. Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 15 was the last straw. Ipad is better for note taking 100% and office apps, Adobe Apps etc all run silky smooth due to the m2. If you want to run emulators go ahead and get the S9.
@@tenwatts2378 Samsung is the best 👌
processing power wins the day. s9+ got a superior display that was let down by inferior processing, air13 was let down by the 60hz display when it's got great processing. s10+ is still behind in processing power.
Genuine question and i've been back and forth between Samsung and apple tablets, i need the apps on iOS but i think Samsung tablets are just better. I'm gonna study computers, games, so i need art apps like procreate but nomad sculpt is also a necessary app but it's 20 bucks on IOS (from what i've heard) also i think it's kinda hard to operate on IOS as a loyal android user, so any help? (i have up to 1,300 JOD to spend) keep in mind i need to multi task, draw, and take notes (NOTE: i want to use good notes but also a pen (s pen or apple pencil) i'm really torn)
Hello,in your opinion, which one is better ipad air 13 or ipad pro m1 12.9?
I am not creator or anything I'm just a student so i will be using it for note taking,studying,media consumption and some gaming
what will be better 120hz but with m1,bluetooth 5 (idon't care a lot about the other difference)or m2 and BT 5.3 but 60hz?
I have glaxy s21ultra, so will i miss the high refresh rate on the air in studying and gaming or the m2 Make it more snappy and not that crucial?
S9 ultra is more comparable to iPad Pro M4 13 inches, they are priced similarly..but the S9+ is around $999 which is slightly more expensive than the Air, but its worth it because u get the Spen included (u mentioned notetaking so u must be dropping 79 or 129 dollars on a pencil), dynamic amoled display, 2 cameras, and it will be integrated better with your s21 ultra.. Also personally i find samsung's spen better for notetaking as its a softer tip.. I have the tab S9 FE and I absolutely love the Spen...
get a Samsung tablet. It'll be much better for you.
You guys make a really good point, i guess you are right. Thank you
No question Samsung Tab S9+ is better.
Agreed 👍
I know this was 4 months ago but now that the tab s9 plus has come out please do a comparison of the tab s10 plus and the ipad air 13 inch because their very similar in price especially because of the fact that one comes with a pen and one doesn't
Will do!
@@TechGearTalk thank you 😭😭
Can u do video editing on Samsung?
As a student which ipad is best to buy as my first purchase
nothing apple
Video/audio difference at 10:00 isn’t even even close. iPad wins that one!!
why does nobody compares ipad air m2 13'' and samsung s9 ultra ?
Im using iPhone 15 which one should I but
Ipad
No Procreate or Artstudio Pro on Tab S9 makes it an immediate non-option for me.
Glad to hear that you're taking your app requirements into account - super important.
@@TechGearTalk For general purpose utility and productivity or content consumption pretty much any tablet over the past 5 years is probably sufficient for most users. For me to spend $800+ on one though there needs to be something a lot more specific than just being an elegant messaging, Netflix and RUclips slab. I buy Macs for Logic Pro and iPads for Procreate, but I have a PC for gaming. The software dictates the platform.
Can I use tab S9 for a long term or I should take ipad air??? I’m so confused now 😭
Hi @TechGearTalk, did you made any review on ipad air m2 vs mi pad 6s pro?
Not yet. Need to try to get a mi pad
Why comparing to the old one ? The new iPad M4 comes with amoled

Go for ipad air
Which did you brought?
Go for Samsung and not for Apple !
I got an iPhone and buying a Tab9+ to have the best of both worlds😀
I got s9+ for 518 dollars.... Is it good deal?
Ipad m4 is incredible. M2 is also really decent for anyone below prosumer (being on their tablet too often) or actual professionals.
Get the M2 Pro. Its better
Thanks for another enjoyable and balanced review. My son's birthday was on 5/19 (he's 43!) and I gifted him my 10th gen iPad. Some might consider that a self-serving act of kindness since I just purchased the M1 iPad Air 5 at Walmart for $399US, but we're both happy 🙂
I'm very confused..Which one I have to buy 😖
Same. I'm a samsung user but I want to try ipad. But there's a lot features samsung have that ipad don't. And also the expandable storage. Still I can choose.
Did you already buy one?
@@annamaegonzalgo673 No.
should i get the ipad air 11 or tab s9 plus ? i get them for the same price i have a windows pc and a iphone 15 and im only using my ipad for games like genshin impact, roblox and for netflix and youtube the 120 hz diplay is nice but i have bad experience with android and im scared that some apps are not good optimised i hope you answer me because i really dont know what to buy

Same
@@padminipatel6159I choose iPad Air m2 btw because it looks more trustable and sometimes people are judge me because they are almost same prize and if ı choose Samsung over apple it looks like wrong choice
@@SelinÇıplak Thank you for the advice but it's apple ok with Samsung phone ?? Like you are using it currently
There is no comparison; it's a very simple choice:
For entertainment, like watching videos and doing basic tasks, go for Samsung.
For productivity, such as digital art, photo/video editing, and note-taking, go for the iPad.
This is the correct answer, The M2 is a beast on the Ipad and the support for productivity apps from Adobe, Microsoft and Final Cut as well all make it a better work tool. I keep seeing emulators mentioned for the S9 which is pretty funny.
@@tenwatts2378 Emulators? I draw and i thinking the 3 apps open is better for presentation on the s9, also want to do some video editing. Which do you think is best?
The aspect ratio odds the samsung tablets bugs me
this is the best ipad by far. no issues and i love no fan noise and no more heating issues. if your picky and want more bell whistles and hype get the pro. i design and this machine can handle every level of it. great review it helped me get this ipad from your past videos on ipads! big thanks !
Is ipad air has AI technology as galaxy AI.. dont say apple is working on it.. this is ai world .. a little animation issue doesn’t matter.. nice technology matter
Do you recomend the samsung tab s8+ in 2024? :)
I'm still rocking the tab s8 ultra and it's a beast of a tablet in 2024
@@themoviebay thanks! I have the tab s6 and tab s8+ is on sale here in sweden for 500$ so I think I should bye it
Have a tab s8 plus here going strong but I am really unhappy with the lack of Third party magnetic cases made for Samsung tabs
@@HATCH5T Yeah I search for a cheap case but its was not much. Much more for the Ultra
I’ve been wanting to upgrade from my iPad Air 4th gen to a galaxy tab s9+ or maybe even ultra, but idk if it’s worth it. The main reason I want to change is because I use my iPad a lot for gaming, and I really wanted to have multiple games at once in it, but don’t have enough storage space. Can anyone pls help me? I’m losing my mind over it
I think that s9 ultra is not worth it because its giant and might be too hard too handle and also s9 plus and ultra have the exact same performance and everything
S9 plus is a very good tablet at Almost everything but s9 fe plus is also great for the price and has balanced features
Im more of an apple fan (i have an iphone) but I will probably get the s9 plus. the reason i will do that is because i need excellent performance and sideloading. Apple doesn't have sideloading. If we exclude sideloading, ipads are totally perfect. I hope I helped you
One last message
Excellent performance: galaxy tab s9 plus (120hz)
Balanced plus performance (not at the middle but also not perfect): galaxy tab s9 fe plus (90hz)
Good performance: ipad Air 2020 (your tablet) ( 60hz)your tablet is still very good.
@@OHIOannis I like it because of it’s big size. Since I want to use it to play, the big screen is precisely what I’m looking for. But thank you for your answers, I’ll take them into consideration 🙏

Great sir but my question:- sir where are you from
Nice Job Bro !!!
Thanks so much - super appreciate it!
Love and support from India
9:52 I think you labelled these wrong
You're absolutely right! Great catch!
Apple will take another 2 more generation of iPad than Apple will come up with 4 speakers than call it their latest innovations!
For now they are reserving that for the iPad Pro
You should compare recently lunch ipad air 13 to ipad pro 13 and previous year ipad pro 12.9 so we can see the gap between air and pro model price gap between them its worth to upgrade or which one to buy according to price point 🙏🏻
Good idea. Working on it!
Samsung better software

60 hertz sucks and is a dealbreaker! I go for the s9 plus
If that’s a priority - definitely go s9+
Clearly Apple bias didn't even mention the S9 price include a S-pen , with Ipad you need to buy a Pencil which will add to the cost.
Thank you so much for watching. Just a heads up - that is mentioned twice in the video. Once in the stylus section and once in the final thoughts. Hope that helps clear up the facts for you. Have an amazing day.

ipad air>>>>
Damn that samsung tablet is really overpriced
Samsung > Apple
Naah
The iPad pro with OLED and better refresh rate and better chip is the best
Compared to the air is full and mid standards
iPad software is superior. All the apps scale correctly. Nuff said.
In the end, it's all about the ecosystem and the tablet optimized apps... iPad wins.
If you are in that ecosystem.
I wish I could willingly bring myself to buy a Samsung peofuct. I’m sure they’re make good phones and tablets. I’ll just never know. I’m sure they’re a better deal, I’d just rather spend an extra few hundred on the m4 pro 13
I heard Samsung tab s10 ultra will be lunched January 25
2 overhyped and overpriced tablets. Nah~
Why give it 60hz in 2024 😂😂
Probably to differentiate from the Pro

Genshin runs at 800p and pubg in 720p maybe u only played this game Android devices that's why u never noticed
In iPhone any pro max device i have 13 pro max genshin runs on 1600p
