Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ vs iPad Pro 2020: Can Samsung take out the tablet king? By Christian David

Tablets are getting increasingly productive with products like the iPad Pro and the new Samsung Galaxy tab. S7 more and more people are able to turn to an arguably more versatile tablet, instead of needing a laptop, but while most consider the iPad Pro to be a solid, laptop replacement. At this point, the android tablet world is a bit of a mess. Samsung wants to clean up that mess, though the company recently took the wraps off the Galaxy Tab, s7 and tab s7 plus, but do the new devices really pose a threat to the iPad's reign? I put the tab, s7 plus and the 11-inch 2020 iPad Pro head to find out. If you like this video, please hit the like button and subscribe to the channel. It really helps support my work, and I would appreciate that support.

The first thing to notice about these two devices is their design and while they have their similarities, they also have some big differences. Most of the similarities between these two seem to be because Samsung has somewhat copied the iPad Pro's design for the tab s7, but they still both look great with their square edges and edge-to-edge displays. As mentioned, I have the 11-inch model of the iPad Pro and the tab s7 plus, which is the larger of the two tab. S7 devices they're, both incredibly thin feeling with a premium unibody build and antenna lines on the back that follow the curves of the device. There are some bigger differences in design, though, for example, the iPad Pro has apple's smart connector on the back, while on the tab, seven plus it's on the bottom, and while Samsung has put a magnetic strip on the back of the tab, s7 plus for holding the s pen, the Apple Pencil attaches to the top of the iPad Pro the tab.

S7 s, pen design isn't the best, especially considering it only charges. If it's pointing in one direction, I much prefer the top mounted magnetic charger on the iPad Pro. The design of their accompanying accessories is pretty different too. Now I'm not going to talk about third-party accessories. I'm only reviewing first party ones here: the Samsung s pen is a little shorter, thinner and lighter than the Apple Pencil, and I appreciate the feel of the lighter stylus.

They still feel natural though, and the upper pencil 2 feels a lot nicer than the original Apple Pencil thanks to its flat edge. Then there are the keyboards. I have apple's 300 magic keyboard, which is a very expensive accessory, but you get what you pay for the keys feel nice. The accessory is perfect for using on your lap and the mechanics of being able to charge through the case is a great idea. I really wanted to like the keyboard book cover on offer for the Samsung device, but I just couldn't get behind it.

I generally don't really like kickstand style cases in the first place, even though it makes for an infinitely adjustable angle. Furthermore, I found that, even though the magic keyboard isn't infinitely adjustable it's more than adjustable enough for me, that's not to mention the fact that the keyboard is held to the tablet with a pretty thin strip, and it's flimsy enough to not work during lap use. That said, the actual keyboard felt great, the keys had plenty of travel and on a desk, it's a great option. It's just that when I'm at a desk, I'm using a desktop computer. The display on these devices is a little different, but not a lot.

Different apple has seriously stepped up the display technology for the iPad Pro and both the 11 inch and 12.9 inch models are display with a pixel density of 265 pixels per inch and a 120 hertz refresh rate, and they both look awesome. They get nice and bright. They look and feel smooth and colors are vibrant. The display on the tab, s7 plus, is about as good, if not slightly better. It's also an OLED display with a 266 pixel per inch density and a 120hz refresh rate you're, not getting a radically different display experience on either of the two devices, and it's not worth buying one over the other for the display.

I haven't used the standard size, tab s7, which does not have an OLED display, but most reviews seem to suggest that the display on the tab, s7, is still awesome. Perhaps one of the biggest differences between these devices is their performance. The iPad Pro features an apple a12z bionic processor, which is one of apple's, most powerful processors. Yet and as a result, it can easily handle everything you can throw at it. In 2020 from mobile gaming to productivity, the Galaxy Tab, s7 plus, on the other hand, offers Qualcomm's current flagship chip, a snapdragon, 865 plus processors.

Again it should be able to handle everything you can throw at it, but it's not quite as powerful as apple's option. Benchmark results confirm this. The iPad Pro kinda destroys the Galaxy Tab, s7 plus, in fact it scored an extra 100 000 points on an tutu and its geek bench 5 multi-core score was almost double that of the Samsung device safe to say, while the Galaxy Tab s7 plus, is powerful. If you actually want performance, the iPad is the way to go, so both of these devices offer excellent hardware, so you'll be perfectly happy with either one right. Unfortunately, no using the iPad Pro is easily a better experience than using the Galaxy Tab.

S7 plus I'm not trying to say that iPadOS is better than Samsung's implementation of android. That's a different debate, the tab. Seven pluses issues are really out of Samsung's control, and it has to do with other apps they're, just not designed to take advantage of the screen real estate on offer by tablets like the tab. S7 plus they don't size properly. Borders are weird, and so on now, Samsung DEX does solve some of those issues by windowing, apps and using decks is generally a pretty good experience, but you shouldn't have to rely on using it to get anything done or to use basic apps, not to mention the fact that DEX doesn't support all apps and some services, like LastPass, just don't work on it.

The base operating system, of course, has its differences. Apple's iPadOS has been getting better and better, and it's a good experience on the iPad Pro. The OS now offers good multitasking features like split screen and slide over and more features are likely to arrive with updates Samsung's. One UI is pretty good too, and those that use Samsung phones will appreciate the extra customization features, but it does also have its bloatware and complications, and those wanting a simple experience won't want that the devices have a few special features to mention the iPad Pro has the LIDAR sensor for augmented reality. However, there aren't many apps that actually take advantage of the tech just, yet the device also has apple's face ID which allows you to access the tablet simply by looking at it.

The tab, s7 plus, has an in-display fingerprint sensor, which works pretty well, but it's not as convenient as the face ID on the iPad Pro and as mentioned the Galaxy Tab. S7 supports Samsung's decks, which offers a near desktop experience. They have different camera systems, but I'm not going to dive into those systems, as I don't really think it matters all that much. They both have dual lens cameras and can take good photos and videos. That's all you really need to know so.

The iPad Pro offers a better software experience, better performance and better accessories, but there's a trade-off. It can also be more expensive. Now. The only reason I'm comparing the tab, s7 plus with the 11 model of the iPad Pro, is that those are the devices I happen to have on hand, but the smaller tab s7, which has an 11-inch display, is probably more comparable to the 11-inch iPad Pro, while the tab s7 plus, is comparable to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. While the tab s7 comes at 650 dollars, the 11-inch iPad comes at 800 bucks and, while the tab, s7 plus, is 850 the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is a thousand dollars. Even the accessories are more expensive.

The tab s7 comes with an s pen, while the Apple Pencil 2 is 130 bucks and the tabs keyboard cover starts at 200, while the magic keyboard starts at 300. , but there's another option. Apple just launched the new iPad Air, which has a similar design, works with the same accessories and has a new a14 chip built into it and offers 600. It doesn't have the same special features like the LIDAR sensor, but not many will need those features without having tested the new iPad Air. I think it's probably the way to go in the end, the android tablet experience is a bit of a mess when it comes to productivity and the Galaxy Tab.

S7 and s7 plus probably aren't worth spending the cash on. If you really want an android tablet, they're the best out there, but otherwise you might be better served with an iPad Air or iPad Pro.
