I picked up my tab s8 ulta for $344.00 after Samsung discount/trade in discount and work place discount. I picked it up from Samsung website and had the option to pick it up at my local best buy. What a steal.
Gaming on the s8 ultra laggy as hell i seen it as u was showing off the gaming side with asphalt 9 i have a oppo find x5 pro n huawei p30 pro n i can run games with no issues
Hello @
Tech Gear Talk I’m trying to decide which one is better for college or university either one
Which one do you think is better for gaming?
I have s8 ultra with the keyboard case , it's absolutely amazing ,I am always impressed by just how powerful it is .
Very misleading to call it Samsung 'Ultra" if it doesn't offer connection to the Cellular the network.
For amount of money it costs you can't use it if you can't connect to Wi-Fi.
@@yeldarleumas1847 yes that's annoying if you only can use Wi-Fi instead use network connection
@@SUCKWHORA Total madness! Anything that has the word 'Ultra" in it should. come with everything as standard.
Plus, we live in an age where people who have a device like this are travelling and *need* a connection to the internet .
@@yeldarleumas1847 Yes. The "Ultra" Means anything what you want is have in that version.
@@SUCKWHORA Exactly!
As a graphic artist and writer the Tab has been nothing short of phenomenal 👏 👌 ● True multitasking
● Dex
● outstanding performance and battery life
● Spen has lower latency, more precise tip for drawing, more features, works without charge and comes for free
● OneUI is has way more features than ipadOS and is better optimised for taking advantage of big screen and integration with the pen
● Not as much PRO apps as ipad but the ones it has have been great to me so far: AutoCad, ClipStudio, Krita, Canva, Concepts, BimX, Lightroom, Microsoft Office, Google apps, Samsung Notes and now LumaFusion
Which one of these apps that are completely free and very good to use?
The asphalt mobile game was lagging in s8 ultra lol 😭
@@alexanderthegreat1506seriously?
@docu-menter2702 Krita is fine on windows but idk how it's on tablets
@sketos_d It's practically identical to the windows version, but it has a handful of extra features relating to the stylus. It has the same landscape layout and you can adjust your workspace however you want
Hey. Excellent and on point review. I was an apple person and switched to Samsung recently. I ordered my S8 ultra tablet and I can’t wait to use it. I pick it up at Best Buy tomorrow. Thanks for an informative review/comparison.
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻Congrats on the new tablet!!!
Hi after using your S8 Ultra is it worth it ?
@Omar Reyes actually Samsung canceled my order. I got a 500 Samsung discount and I used my workplace discount. The tablet now comes to $375. Samsung canceled my order because the tablet was at an extreme discount. I Never received it. I called customer service and they told me that I can't use my workplace discount. It's like they are giving away the tablet. Unreal.
@@shyshy808 its very disappointing 😒
At this point you cant go wrong with these 2
I agree
So which one would you recommend if I primarily use for watching videos on it?
@@Johnmims65 I don't own either of them but I would say the tab s8 ultra, has a bigger screen overall and the aspect ratio is 16:10, and most videos are 16:9 so you will certainly not get black borders, also some movies have a 20:9 aspect ratios, the 4:3 aspect ratio of the ipad pro would have a lot of black borders for those movies. If you have an iphone, get the ipad I guess. If you have a samsung phone, get the tab s8. Usually that works for most people
@@9.8. I do have a iPhone but I’m not locked to one ecosystem
@@Johnmims65 if you have Windows Laptop, the s8 ultra could be used a second screen. Multitasking is infinity better on Android plus the extra screen estate can definitely take advantage of it. You can probably do the same with a Mac and the iPad pro.
I've been thinking about upgrading my Galaxy Tab S2 but I think I'll wait for the next generation of Galaxy Tabs. I have a 2018 iPad Pro, provided by my employer, which performs great but I much prefer Android over iOS. I'm surprised to see that the S8 series lags behind my 2018 iPad Pro in processing power. I love Dex but my S22 Ultra phone runs it very well. I'm excited to see what Samsung comes out with in the future and I hope that they seriously upgrade the processing power. I enjoyed your comparison.
Note that thanks to the EU regulation sideloading will be a thing on IOS given you live in Europe...
Do u want to sell it
I want to buy it
@@Suhasgovind51 I'm using it to control a Line 6 Catalyst 100 guitar amplifier. Everything else I just do on my S22 Ultra phone.
Yeah... Nah. The processing power of Samsung devices will never catch up. Apple is using straight up laptop + desktop level chips in their tablet. Samsung is stuck with Qualcomm and their mobile chips.
I own s8 ultra and man, the display and multitasking is superb!
I appreciate you sharing your experience.
"Buy nice, or buy twice." is very good advice.
I have an iPad Air 4th gen that I only use for my hobbyist art/sketching. While I probably won't (and have no reason to) upgrade, the S8 Ultra is really tempting, especially so after using the S Pen with my phone (S22 Ultra).
The biggest detractor is that I just haven't found any drawing/art app as good as Procreate on Android.
Clip Studio is OK, but I have yet to get used to it's interface yet. With the free version only allowing 1 hour per day of use, I haven't had the time to figure everything out, and I don't want to subscribe to it until it feels natural to use.
you can try infinite painter, it's quite similar with procreate with stack of feature but simple interface
Regarding the drawing apps , a lot of them while technically very good if you are familiar with them , some of them are just not intuitive, and at least from my point of view take a long long painful time to learn how they work.
Some of them for example have hidden menus with no obvious tell tale clues how to access them , and even when you find menus or tool boxes and select a tool it just does not work the logical way you would expect , and at times it is just frustrating to the point of I just close the app and do something else .
Some of them are just I’m sorry to say utterly terrible and not user friendly if you have never used them before .
It’s funny I remember some old paint programs from back in the amiga days ( showing my age here ), and even though they where not powerful machines like today and did not have a lot of resources in computer power the software was nicely written and just so easy to use.
@@mikldude9376 i agree. The apps in the apple ecosystem are at a different level, compared to the myriad of android counterparts. And this is coming from someone who has been using samsung dex since 2017
krita is free with no subscription premuim version or anything. it is completely open source.
Krita has a more involved UI by default but you can customize it to make it much more minimal. And the program is absolutely amazing and incredibly powerful. And FREE!
I bought the iPad 9th gen $269 @ Amazon for my mom for Thanksgiving. I also got the Ultra 128GB, 12gb ram for $960 @ best buy also the keyboard for $179. I got an extra 10% discount after using best buy's credit card. I am hoping that having more screen space will allow me to read from my e text book and have another window open to work from simultaneously. At work, can't wait to go home to fire it up!!!
Just bought standard galaxy tab s8, the tablet works better with windows laptop, it nice to have secondary touchscreen display really helpful with my workflow. The lack of performance is not bothering me, i do my hard stuff on my laptop, in fact it still considering really powerfull for android device
When i connect it to my laptop i cant use touchscreen only spen
I have the S8 Ultra, and it's amazing. I only have one complaint, and an opportunity for improvement in the next iteration of this tablet: the reflections are a bit much on this screen. In dim environments with no backlight at all, it is superb. But even the slightest backlight and I start seeing myself and other objects behind me on the screen. I haven't tried both tablets side-by-side, but I have owned older iPad pros, and I don't remember I had this issue with any of them, or else I would've noticed it.
That said, I still prefer my Samsung S8 Ultra to any iPad I owned before.
I believe although it has a full oled display, the ultras brightness max out at 380 nits compare to ipad pros 600 nits (up to 1000 nits or 1500 for hdr videos) but you should look at matte screen protectors to reduce glare
I believe the iPad Air and Pro series have an anti-reflective coating as well which may explain your experience with both tablets.
I'm an artist and when I got big savings, I'll personally go with Samsung because not only has bigger screen than iPad Pro 12.9 but it uses Wacom digitizers like other laptop electronics using it, which they've been working on back in the Note days. If you want to save money, the Tab S7 FE could be better option.
For casual artists, sure. But android painting/art apps kinda sucks. Even android's clipstudio is wanky compare to ipadOS version. The hardware is not the problem, android apps simply sucks compare to IOS.
@@nanodesu9031 There's Krita beta app for Android tablets and sometimes artists used a laptop and a screenless tablet to draw outdoors anyway, I've seen a lot of artists I knew of and sometimes professional artists draw on Ibispaint X using their finger. Of course most android art apps don't go on par with apple art apps but there's a reason most third world people who can't afford an iPad used it. Plus I can't stand those apple fanboys via TikTok saying "android bad ipad good" if they found out I used an android tablet instead of iPad so I had no choice to either getting a used iPad pro for the sake of Procreate or keeping my Intuos4 large for personal use.
@@nanodesu9031 If you give a professional artist a galaxy tablet they'll make professional work. You sound like the casual artist for not realizing something as simple as that.
Completely far from the truth. All the professional apps are in iPad’s ecosystem, and the ones that both platforms share, the iPad version is always the best, getting updates first before Android even. I can tell you all are hobbyists and not professionals because of that one statement alone. The same Video editor that movie houses use are on iPads, and not on Android. Same for Adobe’s entire suite, their android versions are such an unstable and feature-lacking joke. The M2 chip makes this possible, and makes Samsungs tablet more of a casual toy.
@@CarloGrams What year did you get your information from? You sound like you haven't used an android tablet in over a decade. The tools don't make the artist, there's plenty of terrible artist who use ipads lol. People use their phones and create better art than people who use the ipad.
Been using S8 ultra for a week now .. and it's really amazing
Thanks for this video, decided to order the S8 Ultra hopefully i get it next week :).
Glad I could help! Thank you for being part of the channel!
At this price point the iPad Pro should either come with minimum 500gb space or an SD card slot.. the fact you can spend $1500 on an iPad Pro and still be one 128gb is insane.
You seem to forget it has the Apple logo on it, that alone makes gives it a $500+ more flex value /j
@@TheNoviceAnimator_ too real
I got the 512 gb version for $1400
@@MRGAMER-tt8dr it's a joke. But still insain how much small storage apple give to their devices
IMO in both brands you don't need the flagships the mid range are great ipad air and galaxy tab s8
Agree.
I think buying what you need is the best option.
you cant compare them, the displays of the flagships are the best and if you use it for media then you should buy it
It's like Apple doesn't give you much for trade ins but with Samsung at one time there was a $650 trade in for an 10.5 Ipad pro for an S8 ultra which brings it down to like $450 lol Like I got the S8 for $200 (trade in) and the S8+ recently for $250 (trade in). I like the file system better than Apples in some way because it acts like a regular computer and maybe I'm using it wrong but IOS is confusing and sometimes I have no idea what is using space. But the biggest thing it has a micro sd slot which can be like 1 tb for $100 rather than whatever Apple charges lol
Apple devices do have a learning curve for sure mate , been an android boy since 2012 and picked up an iPhone and an iPad a couple of years ago , and I actually think it is more complex to use than android in a lot of ways , and for things that are just logical and easy on android , on apple devices it is sometimes frustratingly weird the way stuff works 😊, for the first two months of owning the iPhone I just wanted to burn it every single day.
I have warmed to IOS good points , but I do miss a lot of android points , and to this day , some things on apple devices still annoy the hell out of me .
The samsung one is Water Resistant though unlike the Ipad
My iPad Mini 6 can run some games at max settings, like Diablo Immortal, while my Z Fold 4 can't, even though it has Snapdragon Gen 1 Plus. Mini 6 has A15. It's really annoying paying for a premium device that can't compete with a small tablet.
Samsung needs to come up with a keyboard case like the ipad and it will be even better. The flimsy keyboard that comes with it makes it difficult and limits where you can use it.
If you're on the Apple ecosystem, you're a video/photo editor or you're a semiprofesional illustrator just go for the iPad Pro. If you're on the samsung ecosystem or only need a tablet for media consumption and some of the above but not from a professional perspective just get the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. Definitely you can't go wrong, they're extremely good. Same dilemma but less budget, take a look at the iPad Air and the Galaxy Tab S8+.
At this point, iPadOS is the only thing that's holding back the iPad. Cluttered homescreen is my first con. They can have all the apps in the world but if the core experience is iPadOS, then the S8 ultra is better for me.
I don’t quite follow. Most people would use the same apps on both tablets, but the iPad apps are mostly developed for iPad. I don’t see how Android doesn’t hold back the user experience. I owned both, only difference is I own the M1 Pro. If you’re an Apple user it’s not even a question. But if you own a Samsung phone, it makes complete sense for an ultra.
@@Jimmyfly215 the issue with android is the apps which arent that bad tbh. the os is there. the ipad is the opposite where the os is not as good but the apps are better.
@@Jimmyfly215 Apple's got no easy sideloading, deleting bloatware is a chore, horrid app organization on the home screen, the app folder is a mess, reset home screen also resets the dock but it's the only way to alphabetize the home screen, newly installed apps gets placed after Z, turning off bluetooth and wifi in mission control just disconnects them, forces you to repeat button holds and presses, moving an app from a 2 app folder still leaves one app in the folder, on the top off my head.
These little things might be small issues but it builds up over time.
I can't understand Ipad's file system at all and Android is actually like a regular computer. The irony of making it more "simple" for user ended up making it more complicated because somehow everything has to be "synced" rather than a drag and drop and you know where it actually goes lol
Thank you for sharing your thoughts - much appreciated.
Thanks for your always informative videos. But something that doesn't get much coverage is the performance of these tablets in direct sunlight. Could you make a recommendation? TYI Joel
At this point just waiting for the newer tab s9 ultra and for that s23 ultra, I've had all z fold phones and now Is time for me to go back to basics those cameras s23 cameras 🔥🔥🔥
I understand you better now with subtitles in different languages. thanks 🙏
Great unbiased and detailed comparison!
Just bought a m1 iPad pro, I felt safer in long term with the iPad. My air2 still working from release.
As long as you got it for video editing it makes sense. For any other use case the Samsung is the clear better choice
@@FrankFurthereven in terms of gaming and other uses ipad pro m2 still feels better
as always great comparation, i wish you review android 12L on tab s8 , it's amazing , I don't use Dex anymore
Thank you - I'll add that to the list.
LOVE THIS COMPARISON!
-San Francisco fan girl
I appreciate the feedback and the support!
I love my Tab s8 ultra. It's just a joy to use and consume media on 🔥
For me, based on experience. The s8 Ultra just feels like a big Samsung phone lol. The iPad display is brighter, and better in my opinion. Performance is superior, procreate and other apps Samsung just doesn’t have. I know Samsung has Dex, but I didn’t end up using it like I imagined. The Ultra is more customizable, and probably better overall with multitasking. But the guts of my work are within apps, and sharing a second display with my MacBook Pro.
Thank you for the insight and for being part of the channel, James!
Yep, android apps cant simply compete with apple's app store. It is the reason why pick up an ipad pro instead of an android tablet. I've always been an android fanboy and hated apple devices due to their ridiculous prices, but after using the ipad pro, it is really difficult not to recommend it (even though the price is still ridiculously expensive). Until art specific apps mature in the android space, I'd probably stick with the ipad
The screen is considerably better on the Samsung in 99% of use cases. If you're using it outside on a sunny day with the sun behind you then the extra brightness may be worth it. In every other regard the OLED is better
Also worth noting, while performance may be better on paper, in actual use there is no perceivable difference
Also from a professional perspective in light room etc for photo editing you get a full work flow version on the Samsung, the ipad version of the app is useless. Being that the Google app store is far larger than the apple app store you'll find this is more often the case. There are only a handful of apps which don't exist on the Samsung, where there are hundreds that don't exist on the app store
By default i think i speak for most every day ipad pro 12.9 users when i say we want balanced width and length this thing just ain’t it, on screen keyboard would be harder to use ease of use and reach would be annoying but if it was equally as balanced in width and became that larger size that possibly could end up happening with the ipad it’s possible people buy it but i highly doubt it since when you pay such high prices for a tablet it’s gotta be more than just an everyday Netflix and chill kinda thing the more power the better and the more the devices core power the more you’ll realise it’s either for you or not.
as an apple fanboy long live the iPad ;)
I had the iPad since the 1st pro with 1st gen apple pencil, served me well in medical school.
I appreciate you sharing!
Ive been a Samsung Dex user since 2017, and I still am (still using my Galaxy Note 8). But in reality, the strongest point of the android eco system is at best on consumption only. Sure they have better file management, and a desktop like experience with its variable window sizing capability, but beyond that, other than some note taking app, and MS Office, and some good emulators, there’s really nothing else there. The iPad, on the other hand, is all about high quality applications like MS Office, Notability, GarageBand (for sound production), iMovie and Focos Live (for video editing), etc. Apple might not have a “desktop like” windows management feature, but the iPad is not just a consumption device. Rather because of the great number of high quality, professional level applications to do actual work, the iPad is a TRUE productivity tool. Again, I use samsung as my primary phone, and I know Samsung Dex very well, but when it comes to tablet, and productivity, iPad is still superior, not because of the spec sheet, but because of what it can actually do. (PS. I’ve produced over 100 songs, and over 30 high quality videos in my two years of using iPad, but has not been able to create those things since 2017 with my Samsung Dex, because of lack of high quality apps in Android, unfortunately).
Can you edit photos with PS or LR on the iPad because I know that Samsung/Android only has a mobile version, which is limited? This feature is important to me when it comes to being able to edit photos on the go.
@@RichieColemanSr Hi, I’m not really a PS and LR guy so I cannot give you an answer to that (Im more on video editing and sound production). However, I saw a youtube channel called Andrew Lanxon Photography that might answer your question in a level that you are looking for. What I’ve noticed people struggle with when it comes to photo editing is the workflow on how to get the photo from the camera to the device, and vice versa. But that’s all I know about photography, because I have no working experience with these applications so far.
@@iPadChannel Thanks for responding and the information.
I have the galaxy tab s8 ultra and the iPad Pro 11’ inch 2021. I like both of them. I wouldn’t mind to trade in my 11’ inch iPad Pro to the new redesigned iPad Pro 13’ inch on March 2024. Just to have a larger screen like my galaxy tab.
1:23 what do you mean? iPad pro failed the bend test, ultra passed.
my Zfold3 was repaired twice under warranty and today i traded it with the Ultra. paid $499. looking forward to it
User of Android and Samsung plus windows eco system, it's a no brainer and I love my tab s8 ultra. I won't even get an iPad if it's for free as Apple users are missing out on the world of customisations and multi-tasking. I don't understand why Apple bogs down their extremely powerful hardware by limiting it.
I choose iPad Pro for it
*M2 chip better CPU better GPU with custom encoders and decoders for editing,,,
*Brighter display 1000 nits to 1600 nits true HDR and Dolby vision support and variable refresh rate display with much better anireflictive coating
*much faster thunderbolt port
* faster NVME storage
* better pro apps that specifically made for iPad in mind
* better video editing better editing apps and pro apps like resolve
* better rear cams with lidar better video rec prores etc
*much better footing keyboard and trackpad
* much better gaming with 120 fps support too
* full desktop web browsing and faster web browsing as many test shows
* longer os support
* Face ID seamless easy to uses works in all condition no need tp touch the device
*bluetooth 5.3
those are compelling advantages
The only thing I don't like about iPad is that they limit their software on purpose, for eg, the M2 and M1 have very weird differences, like the apple pencil holder feature???? Pro res? Most people who buy a tablet/iPad won't use it to it's full potential, as long as you’re not editing a 3000 hour documentary, there is no mean to argue
Fantastic review as always. What is the game you are playing at 17:04 in the video?
Hey Awesome Video.Subscribed to the channel.
I need your suggestion:
Used ipad pro 2020 (I am getting in 450$ in DUBAI) VS Ipad air 5 , which one should I buy ?
Excellent review, I've found that now that I have a chromebook with a 2k display and the latest intel processor that I don't use my iPad at all anymore. It converts to a tablet if I want to use it that way and has an excellent keyboard and it has ports galore including Thunderbolt ports, and a firewire port and it cost less than half of what these tablets cost. I can also play games on it from the play store, although it's not really my thing ,and I can multi-task galore.
Which one you have ?
Forreal which Chromebook you have sounds like a great device
You have discovered the holy Grail also. Like you, I purchased an Intel i5 convertible Chromebook (Acer 713). Oh my word, it is so much better than any iOS or android tablet. Simply because, we get a professional desktop class web browser. In fact it is the best version of chrome on any operating system or platform. Chrome books are becoming amazing
Bros using a chromebook 😂😂😂
Fantastic review. Thanks! Subscribed to your channel )
I always lean towards the galaxy. They are always open for experimenting with new features on their softwares.
Benchmarks have always been in favor of Apple. And yet, despite those numbers, Samsung has exceeded those numbers and most capable users would always choose Samsung over Apple.
Nope
Hopefully, the tab s9 ultra will have an in-display selfie camera, a 1TB (32GB RAM) option with 256GB (16GB RAM) base, and a laminated display while keeping the same thickness and putting a thicker 15000mAh battery and would love to see 4k display on that massive screen size. Also would love u see a book cover keyboard case bring a sturdy hinge and make it strong enough to angle without a need for the kickstand, remove the latency, add a usb c port and push the envelope with adding USB A ports and HDMI port
That's a laptop
Bruh 16gb ram is more than enough
@Hiển Nguyễn it is for now but for future-proofing and having TB's option u would want that extra RAM. 16GB RAM 1TB should become the base for sub 15" tablets while Tyan max it out at 4TB with 32GB RAM bring devenci and heavy pro apps like these to their tablet. Apple iPad in a lot of ways is iPhone L (android 12L (large)lol) but it's a step in the right direction giving iPad its os and putting more horsepower into their iPads their tabs should do that like come on 512GB max like what is this is it 2016, 512GB is usually the base storage of laptops or even 1TB and here Samsung is maxing out at 512GB on a 14.6" display. I know Samsung has an sd card slot but it isn't as fast as internal storage and it doesn't fully act as a USB internal storage and even if SD card acted as internal storage I'd still want ultra internal storage opition. How does this make sense their smartphones max out at 1TB and their ultra tab at 512GB.
@@Shan_Shah 16 gb is okay even computers don't need more than 10
@Curdi for future-proofing and heavy mobile gamers might want that RAM and with a 2TB storage option, u would want that extra RAM for the future as games are getting larger and larger at the point where we have mobile games approaching 20-25 GB which is getting to entry realistic PC level game those games use a lot of RAM. 16GB, for now, is good enough but 3-4 years later u might want more. And 128GB or 256GB shouldn't be the base of a 15" laptop sized even on mobile I agree 256GB should be the bare minimum now that we're getting into 2023 we aren't at subways surfer timez anymore
Tech channels are probably the only channels that people listen to the add part carefully
Can't afford any of this so I'm just gonna enjoy the arguments 🤣🤣
What is the actual Transfer speed on both devices? "On paper" thunderbolt 4 is supposed to smoke a USB 3.2 but I've seen speed limited before by Apple, especially when compared to MacBooks
I'll try to include that in a future video.
@@TechGearTalk thank you!
Reality is that both Ipad and Samsung offer great services with overall good quality…it all depends on the preference of the device and what do you preffer in general, both can literally do the same with minimal differences.
Really appreciate this review. I am wondering however which configurations of each tablet you have in this review? I am trying to decide if it would be best to future proof the Tab S8 Ultra and get the 16GB/512GB configuration, or if the 12GB/256GB would be enough? Definitely don’t want just the 8GB/128GB configuration.
The 8gb/128gb seems to be great
I have the 8/128 plus a 512gb micro
@@Maj0rTac0 and how do you find it ?
If you want a powerful workstation ipad pro, if you want bigger sized galaxy note then galaxy tab
Which Is Better Ipad Or Samsung for Working On Ms Office and Other Apps Like That?
From my experience microsoft office works better on the twb s8 ultra as samaung worked directly with Microsoft and the transfer between PC and samsung is a bit more seamless and direct between the two. Plus real windows and multitasking is better on the tab s8 ultra. My iPad pro is nice as well but it truly depends on what you are doing and if you are tied to an ecosystem.
@@kaiichinose9590 and what about the speed and Lagging?
As I Have Experienced Lagging and Slow Speed Using Android devices as it ages Old.
@iliyas5820 my tab s8 ultra has been great with speed, power and no lag really. My version has 16gb ram and 512gb internal storage. Multitasking and using dex has been awesome. I think it's the more well rounded and more versatile tablet. But I would wait for the tab s9 series because the efficiency of the snapdragon 8 gen 2 processor is fantastic and would be worth the wait. It's just around the corner but seriously the improvements on that processor in my s23ultra may look not big on paper but in real world use compared to my s22ultra it's just so smooth and the battery lasts about 3-4 more hours than my s22ultra.
I am looking for a capable tablet for media creation, boat navigation, 3D modelling with the pen, note taking... What should I get?
Thank you for an exceptionally good review.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words.
Samsung is better.
It has a home button. It have a real back button. It have a micro SD reader.
But for the price, I''ll go with a Surface pro 7+ or Surface pro 8.
And it can also run Android.
My “make or break” in my purchasing decision boils down to this… how well do they run iPad OS?
Hey Ross! Good to see you again.
😂🤣
@@TechGearTalk Similar, but much better looking than Schwimmer. I'm sure your lovely wife would concur. 🙂
I just wish samsug made a keyboard case similar to how Apple made there's. The Samsung keyboard case feels cheap and it's glitchy sometimes.
Apple Pencil has genuine replacement tips which can be purchased separately. Samsung doesn't sell replacement for SPen tips. Either be lucky in finding knockoffs or buy another SPen.
durability is really something to consider , which as a long time apple user, I can really count on apple durability. I also break a number of Samsung devices already so quickly.
I'm literally addicted to my s8 ultra. Amazing piece of tech.
As a person who want to game and do artistic work at the same time, which one do you think is the bang for the buck? I will in med school in few months and I need something from which I can do the above and read too. I want something which can take whatever I throw at it with ease.
anything art related, iPad is your friend cause of the app selections available etc
@@mza2001 that's why I am confused, the best is iPad when it comes to art because of iOS only apps but I don't have any other use from iOS platform. I like android far more than iOS because of it's versatility and sandbox like experience that why I even watched this video so that I can choose between iPad M2 one and S8 Ultra.
Guys relax, the Samsung may not be powerful, or light, or have useful optimised software, or run games fast, or have good sound, or good Ul, or anything like that.... but it has Dex. So you can plug in an external monitor and not have all these things on another screen as well. It truly is a beast.
as a professional photographer i really need pro apps (like lightroom) especially for photo asset management and batch processing… too bad ipad doesn’t have this yet
iPad does have lightroom
@@compteprivefr its not a Real Lightroom for professional workflow
Yes it does lol
iPad apps are so much better than Android. What use is hardware without the software. This is almost a misleading review. Small details like S-PEN is cheap looking and not comfortable for art work on a tablet.
i have both, but s8+5g m2 ipad pro 5g 1tb and love both, but ipad better for serious stuff. more NDI Apps, and thunderbolt, you pay more, but worth it.
Great review thanks man, i just have 1 question for you, as a concept artist, and an android user since forever, would you recommend the ipad or the s8 ultra for art? And can i download photoshop on both of them for free ? I want to get a new tablet for digital art, illustration, netflix and maybe games not sure abt that, and idk which one to buy both of them seem great
Hello, for art, ipad pro and procreate is the best, since procreate is only available for ipad os, and Photoshop is not free, u have to pay annual pr monthly, which is bad news, but procreate only cost 10 dollars and is a 1 time payment, so no monthly subscription or annual subscription like photoshop. And ipad screen has more accurate colors for drawing than any tablet in the market, plus the m1 chip or m2 chip are the best cpu in the market of computers and tablets, side by side with the intels core i9. And also ipad os is more quality than android. But if u choose android then good for you. But was a big mistake
@@elfua7347 i got the ipad pro m2 chip and i'm very satisfied. Thanks for your opinion tho !😊
A better comparison would be the S8+: its the same as the ultra but not comically and uncomfortably big
i’ve been thinking about buying one of them for school but i don’t know which one is easier for me to write notes and save files
Hi , i guess its more then an year with s8 ultra for you @Tech Gear , can anyone please comment on the longetivity of samsung s8 ultra tab. I am an ipad air user and it has been working great since the last 2-3 years. Is it the same with samsung s series tabs??
im looking for the same answer
Nice comparison man, as always ❤
In conclusion you can't go wrong with either tablet or the ipad...got it !
i cant feel 120hz refresh rates and 240hz touch response on games like LOL and mobile legends on tab s8 line. went to turn on show refresh on dev mode it shows 120hz but the game really felt 60hz and i couldnt feel 240hz touch response its really delayed
Love you man but, Pleeease Stop the Smooth Zooming in every 2 seconds LOL.
You give the Nits number of the iPad but not the Galaxy - why?
S8 Ultra front camera looks great!
The iPad Pro is just the best tablet on the market, period. Better aspect ratio for a tablet, better screen (mini led is indeed, in my opinion, better for HDR ; actually, every professional calibration screens use mini led technology and none uses Oled). iPad OS is better than android in my opinion, although I understand it's a matter taste but at least there is no denying there is much more apps and much more quality apps on the iPad than on android tablets. And then of course there is the Apple system, which for some is like a golden cage, but to me is just an awesome way to use all your devices and them working together really well. I love my iPad M1 500 gb. It's such a pleasure to use this device, and it's already really capable compared to the M2.
Not true. External storage can't be used for most apps on Samsung tablets. You ever tried installing most apps on the external storage (e.g. on microSD) through Google Play app store?
Yes. All the time. Very few have not worked for me.
Wow. I tried to do it on S6 lite and S7 FE. Didn't see an option to move the apps to external microSD storage under apps' settings (contrary to many tutorials). Lots of others on reddit struggle to do the same. If you could do a video or something tutorial, that'd be gold. Thanks for your content as always
S8 Ultra is a beast only you talked about this.. no other youtuber focused on this
In my openion samsung uses the better format for their displays
Samsung’s latest and greatest tab S9 ultra scores 5,000 points less than the iPad Pro M2 1TB model in geekbench, now some people might say that Apple is not putting all that power to use and all that but, seriously all that power goes to the promised longevity of the iPad, combined with 7 years of major updates the iPad Pro can easily survive for 4-5 years more than the S9 ultra in its prime
8GB or 16GB for the upcoming Davinci Resolve? :)
I have the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. The Ultra is TDB, lol

Balanced assessment... they still aren't identical just yet. "Apples" vs oranges comparison 🤭🤭🤭
Ha!
Sir want a tablet for 5 to 6 years.... Which i pad or tab s8 ultra would be better choice for me...
Ipad apple still upgraded 10 years
My biggest confusion and just generally really don't understand about Android tablets or Android in general is that first why don't Android smartphones have face ID sensors for biometric authentication? That is the most secure way to protector the informations within it plus they're in the past has had one or two and Android smartphones with this 3D depth sensoring technology. This shows that they definitely do have the ability to do such creations. For example the Huawei Mate Pro Series smartphones does have the 3D facial recognition sensors plus the original Vivo find X from 2018 also had that. A lot of android companies doesn't want to disturb the display that much with a notch but even the original Galaxy Z fold from 2019 had a knowledge with triple cameras which why couldn't they replace that with the face ID sensors. Now about the tablets, since they have a decently sized bezel for the face ID sensors to actually be placed within and also not disturbing display why wouldn't they do the 3D face ID scanners to their tablet at least?
I've been loving my Samsung tab s7+
Hey there, could you please tell me if using Samsung evo plus 256gb sd card w/ tab s8 128 gb model to store movies will affect tablet speed or not ?
I have never used iPad in my life but I'm planning to buy iPad pro m2 so am I taking a right decision? It is for office work, gaming
Depends on what you’re using for office work. If it’s light business work you could get buy with an iPad Air and probably the new iPad 10th gen. Unsure if it’s 10th. For gaming and if you prioritize gaming on the iPad and play online games against others, then the Pro 1T with 16gb of ram versus the same iPad Pro with less storage which has 8gb of ram instead. I was thinking of getting the iPad Pro but instead went with the cute iPad Air 5 in purple 256gb and an iPad mini 6 for reading. I don’t do my main gaming on my iPad so that’s not as important for me. But I play some games like GTA San Andreas on it and the iPad Air M1 chip does more than I need. I use it for video editing and drawing. I use my iPad Air 4 for media consumption and my iPhone or mostly my TV which I prefer. The iPad Air 5 is amazing and works great. Never had an issue just one thing. For drawing. A bigger canvas would be nice. Hover feature would be nice but it’s not a necessity. I WILL get the next pro model but for now I’m super happy with the air and was able to also get an iPad mini for reading because reading in bed on my Air was very uncomfortable but if I read on my couch, it’s fine with the Air
@@triggeredlatina thank you so much pal... I'll think of a good decision before buying.😌
Which should I choose as a medical student? Please help me
Which one choose for photo editing:)?
Where do I find the backgrounds on the thumbnail? Can't find them
nice wallpapers. from where?
No reason (except for greed) for Apple not to have 16gb in even the base model. Not making you to get the top two models to get 16gb standard.
Does anyone know of an Android note taking app that comes with a virtual ruler? I noticed that Samsung Notes on S8 Ultra doesn't have it, while Apple Notes has it.
Thanks for the video :)
Hope it was helpful!

I didnt even know samsung still made tablets. I use to love my Samsung Note years ago but ive always hated their skinny design. iPad is just too good i could never switch.
