DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!! iPad Pro vs Galaxy Tab S7+
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2021
- Should you buy the iPad Pro or the Galaxy Tab S7+? Can the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus dethrone the iPad Pro as the new king of tablets? Over the past few years, #Apple has been sitting pretty comfortably at the top as the best tablet around and it almost seemed like each year the battle was over before it began.
Then came #Samsung and said, not so fast, we want a shot at the crown - and depending on what you need, they may have done it.
I’ve used both for everything from media consumption, office work like emails and notes, managing my TH-cam channel, replying to comments, doing social media work and even gaming.
Today, I’m going to put the #ipadpro and the Galaxy Tab S7+ head to head, talk about the good and the bad and help you choose which one is right for you.

The title of this video should be” If you aren’t sure about what tablet to choose, I’ll make it even harder for you.”
Sorry.
@Cheese This video is comparing the 2020 version of the IPad Pro not the 2021. Now if it’s between the 2021 Pro versus the Galaxy S 7 +, 21 IPad Pro all the way
@Fromage 5.5x processing power but apple daddy blocks you from fully utilizing it
@Fromage ur talking about the M1 iOS pro which in short words is much more worth it than Tab S7+ but he’s talking about 2020 iPad Pro which has the same RAM and many more similar features
But very fair analysis and unbiased
Spoiler alert: He leaves the decision up to you…
As per usual.
so...dislike!
Thank you. 6 minutes in. Out!
This should be pinned.
YESSSS THANK YOUUUU !!!!
Gift me any one of them, and I won't even complain.
Bro... Your account name is dope though
bruh
Dude I was like:WHAT IMPOSSIBLE😱😱-
Also me:oh wait. It’s not verified
Me: I would not reply
Also me:oh thats fake
There's people that are dying Kim
Basically, if you are not committed to the Apple ecosystem or are very interested to use the tablet for photos, Samsung is the best cost-benefit for you. Well, that's what I thought 😂
If you aren't committed to the apple ecosystem the alternative is always the better option
I bought the s7 during the sale. I sold my iPad to some who needed it more than I did. I use Samsung Dex, have a new iMac and galaxy phone so I an computer agnostic. Everyone is happy.
Except the iPad has a better display and better SOC.
@@Evan_Rodgers LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@Evan_Rodgers did u even watch the video
I have tried both, but for note taking I have to give it to s pen for two reasons.
1.) The s pen is lighter, so your hand doesn't get as tired. When I am doing math homework for hours, the heaviness of Apple Pencil actually kinda bothers me.
2.) The soft tip gives you good resistance for control. I have tried Apple Pencil with mat screen protector, but I didn't like it as much since it feels like I'm grinding the pen-tip to the screen.
How much is the battery life of S7+?
@@morningqueens7766 screen time more than 8 hrs... If u do high performance stuff... 6 hrs easily with highest brightness
As a S7+ user I have to admit I think I definitely made the right choice. Yes 'some' apps aren't quite as optimised as well, but it is an Android limitation, not a Samsung one. As Sagi keeps repeating, the Samsung has much better screen quality and that is always the deciding factor for me. You spend all your time looking at that screen, and if you haven't used a Super AMOLED screen before, when you see one, it is much better than what other manufacturer's have on offer. The benchmarks that show the iPad beating the Samsung don't really translate to real world use where in combination with tightening up the transition animations through developer mode, the Samsung I would say is nothing short of lightening quick.
The whole package is just tons better value, with not really any stand out negatives. When I bought the tablet I got the folio case for free, and a small discount for pre-ordering. I priced up the equivalent ipad pro, and was shocked to find it would've cost me £500, that's right, £500 MORE. That's just nuts!
I think Samsung will have to have a solid answer to the upcoming offerings from Apple this year though, particularly if Apple modernise the designs of their macbooks and ipads to get rid of all the black bars and terrible old looking bezels. I'm curious about the M1 macbooks at the moment, and will be watching closely the offerings from Dell XPS line and the new Macbook range, but for what you actually get with the S7+, it is by far the better device in my opinion.
Thanks so much for sharing Julian! I appreciate you taking the time to provide insight and perspective. Thanks for being part of the channel!
@@TechGearTalk No problem pal! keep up the good work, really enjoying your vids, they are unbiased, clear as crystal, well laid out, not too short or too long, very enjoyable to watch!
Please with the Apple myths/lies about optimization. Android has 900,000 more apps, and tens of thousands more free apps. Watch "How Apps Look: Tab S7 vs iPad Air 2020" and get educated on the facts.
@@RK-um9tu" Get educated on the facts" 🤓 The M1 chip alone makes the iPad Pro a no brainer. Also it's no myth that Apple has better optimization as someone who has used both Android and Apple. You just have an apple hate boner bud.
@@julianmorgan5994 how is the tab holding up now? I am planning on getting the s7+ 6gb
Finally an unbiased apple product review
Thanks so much for the feedback! Appreciate you being part of the channel 👍🏻
I got that joke lol
Something which you didn't mentioned price wise is the additional price of the Magic Keyboard for the Ipad which is an additional 300$+150$ for the pen =450$ extra which is roughly 50% of the price of the S7+ which you actually get a lot of deals which offer you the keyboard+the tablet on purchase.Great video non the less!

I own tab S7+ . I love watching youtube and Netflix here. I use this tablet for takimg notes and work. This is my firsf table. I've been waiting for a great contender of ipad amd this is it!
How good is that display!!!
Only wat scares me is pixel burn in amoled display in long run n its expensive for replacement
@@sum5687 no more burn amoled in latest versions
@@jaiconruedas i own s20 ultra n had pixel burn issue luckily it was under warranty so replacement was free of cost but long run amoled r prone to Burns even in latest amoled technology.
@Walter Wanami I think it's good replacement. Should be based on your regular work in laptop. S7 plus can handle presentations, documents and spreadsheet.
I just picked up a tab s7+ about a month ago and i love it. I do alot of photo editing and it has all the power i need and the screen is amazing
That’s awesome! So glad it’s working foe you. That screen is absurdly nice.
Trying to figure out which one I should get as I like to do digital art and coloring it.
@Oo Kk proof it
What apps are you using for photo editing? I returned my Tab S7 because it uses phone versions of adobe software where as the ipad versions have (nearly) full capabilities.
@Oo Kk almost every single company out there does that. if your product says "made in china" chances are it was slave labour
For me I would go with the Tab S7+. I feel there are more multi-tasking options. I prefer the 16:10 aspect ratio. Samsung has had an S Pen for almost Ten Years. They have been improving Wacom's technology and the experience shows. Now when we get to the DEX functionality - DEX gives you that laptop functionality when you need it. The display on the S7+ truly is amazing. The iPad is an amazing device, but all around I choose the Galaxy Tab S7+
yes I agree
Qualaquam snapdragon technology you mean
Samsung is planning to ditch Dex this year! Look it up!
@@napoleon-sk5oc only on mac and windows so samsung users can't connect their tabs to mac or windows
@@napoleon-sk5oc also only on windows 7 ad mac
the ipad pro pencil and keyboard price is outrageous, and the software is geared toward creative productvity. For Office / Programmer / Teacher productivity, Galaxy is far more superior, because of Android.
Yep
The only superior thing about the Samsung is price. That’s all it has
Thank you for saying "Teacher productivity" big help! 😁

I have tab s7. Absolutely love it. with all the accessories and dex mode it's like a mini laptop that I can carry on short trips without towing my Alienware.
You would consider it worth it, better than apple?
I literally bought this tablet specifically because the tablet is nice for entertainment consumption in the weird moments on a trip. I love my alienware 17, but it would be a pain to lug through an airport
@@tiffanydavis2779 In India, with apple being arrogantly expensive, yes, definitely. Samsung is not cheap but it is still better priced and delivers more value. Plus I am not tied down in the Apple ecosystem, so I am comfortable in choosing an android tablet. I know the main concern is with apps where Apple is the clear winner, but in reality we all use very limited number of apps and most of the apps (even for drawing and graphic editing) are very well supported. Maybe 1 or 2 are not optimized but that problem is extremely rare and I have personally never faced it.
@@justin-time5880 agreed 100% it gets the job done effortlessly.
@@TaazaPubZ can we do drawing or graphic design on tab s7+ better then ipad?
dude ive watched some videos of you during all these years and saw how you improved your style but never think why i keep watching you. just a moment ago i saw it, im non native english-speaking person and i just understood that you speak very clearly that i understand almost everything you say. keep imrpoving good job you are doing here!
I would've gotten a ipad but there just to expensive...for me that's where I like samsung! Samsung is good too me
It's definitely a great value Heather! Thanks for sharing. Appreciate you being part of the channel!
Try to sell a samsung tablet after 2 years, 80% money gone apple ipads work for sonlong and keep its price

Best tech reviewer, no gimmicks and a straight to the point review. Thank you.
Appreciate the kind words Michel 🙏
After watching your video, I had no questions because you explained everything. Thanks! And I hope that you and your family are safe!
So glad to hear that and thank you for the kind words. Appreciate you being part of the channel
Wow great video and review of both ecosystems. Usually the reviewer is already swayed towards a specific ecosystem. This is a perfect unbiased review. It depends on the user. I'm so glad I came across your channel. I am a recent apple person who converted to Android. Samsung in specific. Note 20U, active watch 2 and now looking to get my iPad replaced with the tab s7+. Honestly now when I play with my iPhone I can't believe how I went so many years without all this technology added.
How was your experience shifting from ipad to samsung tablet? (If you did)
@@PolkaGeekmm I find the experience on the Samsung S7 plus tablet to be so much more efficient. I use Samsung native note taking app (similar to Apple notes) but with more options. I love that it sinks across all my Samsung devices seamlessly. What makes it even more simple to use is the keyboard combination. It’s like using a laptop. I love the fact that good lock is available for the tablet. It makes a lot of the apps more user-friendly. I would highly recommend it.
This is the most unbiased review I've watched!

I really appreciate your kind words and support!
Really excited to see what Samsung will do with their new tablet seeing as how S7+ is already so good
Definitely going to get real interesting! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Me too. Would love to see more developer optimize their apps in samsung tabs.
It's gonna be a minor update, to a big one. S7+ is already a lightning fast multimedia machine. I have it since November and still happy with my purchase.
Don't forget the tab s5 was a downgrade from the tab s4.
I want to store my spen inside that tabs8, also improvements to the spen latency. Other than that, this thing is perfect. Just need support long term.
I Have the Tab6 which does more than enough for my business, will be upgrading to Tab7+. Great video!
Appreciate you sharing. Thank you for being part of the channel!
@ when it will come
I have tab s6 and tab s7+. Not worth to upgrade, no real difference in performance( and daily I use s6 more because of size) Wait till tab s8 atleast.
@ why are you so confident with it?
@@MrPoliarinis s7+ was the biggest jump in samsung tab history lol

LCD?
@@Konkov LSD
That was very informative!!! Thank You Very Much!!!
The refresh rate of the Galaxy Tab S7+ is not static, when you're on 120Hz it dynamically decides whether to use 120 or 60, unlike what the video says. Go into developer settings and enable the FPS monitor to see this in action, that portion of the review that you gave to the iPad was the same on the Galaxy Tab.
Man finally some android tablet which outperforms ipads for things i want. Like media consumption , gaming and price. Thanks for reviewing this this one is better compared to ipads for android users I mean most of the population.
Nah man iPad is top tier for gaming. M1 is so well optimized that your battery will barely drain.
@@swizzwizz12 yeah, its gpu and cpu is the same performance as most laptops or pc's or the m1 chip may be even more better than most normal pc specs
Subbed, like that the main focus in the comparison is about user experience and "feel", but still go into the raw specs.
I appreciate the input! Thank you for being part of the channel!
I even swapped my 12.9 2020 cellular version with s7 plus. After using the ipad for nearly a year, I know Android meets my expectations more when it comes to tab.
Was undecided whether to buy an iPad Pro 12.9" or iPad Air 4 as my first iPad ever. Bought the iPad Air 4 in the end. Having used Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 for the past four years since its release, mainly for drawing and media consumption, I am finding iPad Air 4 in some areas a bit of a let down, and I am so glad I have not splashed out on the beyond expensive iPad Pro 12.9". From a drawing point of view, I find the S-Pen to be smoother and much more precise than Apple Pencil 2nd Generation claims to be, or rather, what some people claim it to be. The fact that Apple is not transparent about their Pencil pressure sensitivity levels is quite telling. Bought Procreate on the iPad Air: not impressed. Some brushes are fun to use, can come up with some pretty decent decorations and abstract paintings, but overall I think it is an overly priced app for what it offers. I much prefer Autodesk Sketchbook, which I have happily used for the past 4 years on my old Samsung Galaxy Tab S3, and also tested it on my new iPad Air 4: really like night and day between that and Procreate. I am seriously contemplating buying Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 plus, for the larger display and Super Amoled, which is what I am accustomed to and frankly prefer over Liquid Retina. Anyway, for drawing, personally I prefer the experience Samsung can provide with its comes-in-the-box, no-need-to-be-charged and decent amount of pressure sensitivity underrated S-Pen, over the expensive rip off that is Apple Pencil. Looking forward to see how much the S-Pen has improved on Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 plus. Thank you for the review, you have got yourself a new subscriber. Peace :)
I'm super grateful for the feedback - that is exactly the kind of input I was looking for. Thank you for being part of the channel!
Personally, I'm so happy I came across your comment. I've been on the fence in regard to Apple's iPads and Samsung tablets. I'm specifically looking to buy one to use Procreate or the like in conjunction for art purposes and your reply was so helpful. THANK YOU!
@@clm3807 you are welcome. In the end I bought Samsung Tab 7 Plus: very happy with it, typing out this message using Tab S7 Plus infact. Highly recommended, and I would probably go for the Samsung Tab S8 Ultra if I hadn't bought the S7 Plus just a year ago. Plenty of amazing drawing/painting/graphic design apps available including Clip Studio Paint. As stated in my early comment, Procreate is not worthy. Oh and the S-Pen on tab S7 Plus is seriously divine, buttery smooth and very, very precise. Thank you for your nice reply to my comment, hope you enjoy your device of choice!
This is incredibly helpful! I also primarily use Autodesk Sketchbook and I felt I was really being sold on procreate (one of my main reasons for being more inclined to get an iPad pro)
@@Lory73 i want to buy the s7+ but i am concerned of it slowing down after a year or 2.
I have the s7+...get the ipad pro! Ipad apps are well optimized. Android has to do better in the software tablet space! Most apps are blown up phone apps! The screen on the s7+ is absolutely amazing as well are the speakers but that's about it! BUT....you can get the s7+ much much much cheaper with a pen and keyboard! I got the s7+ and keyboard for $450. Less than half of the iPad Pro alone!
I really appreciate you taking the time to share your personal experience 🙏. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Hey, have u ever tried little bit of coding on the Samsung? I’m thinking to move from iPad to tab because the softwares demanded by my college aren’t again le on the iPad
@@Paul-le1fo If you do, keep your iPad. Use both like I do. The s7+ besides the 5G/speakers/better display but I still prefer 4:3, is inferior to my iPad in every way to me imo, like borderline trash vs iPad. Apps aren’t even optimized STILL for the s7+.
i own the S7+ and i use the Desktop site on the browser for everything. i rarely use the app.. maybe it's just me but i found no problem in that. it's basically like using a laptop for me and i dont need to download the app that fills up space.
@@AndrewHadi07 thanks to everyone, but I might be going for a 2in1 finally
Amazing video, since I’m not tied down to any ecosystem as I like things from both apple and android and often switch between the two when it comes to their phones and watches. I was debating between these two tablets and I find that the integration system between the tab s7 plus between it and windows it much easier and file and data transfers are more fluid between pc and Samsung. I like that the tab s7 also has extended display which is so nice and dex is very nice since I don’t have a laptop. They both aren’t full replacements for laptop but I have a fully built pc and the connection and transition was just easier on the tab s7 even when using adobe, word, excel they seem to function more properly on the tab s7 in my experience. Both gorgeous devices. I wish the tab s7 had that magic key board though as the keys are back lit and the stand feels more solid.
Soon those options will be entirely unavailable for flagship Apple and Samsung devices. Samsung has already gone the Apple route with their new watch
i would love to buy any of these but the thing is, i can't afford them 😂

@@IndyVisuals nop. Tab s6 still beats iPad pro in every single way
@@MrPoliarinis yes but is it durable? I have confidence I can use the IPAD pro for the next 5 years with no issues.
@@IndyVisuals have you ever used 4-5 years old iPad with actual version of software? 😂 They're unusable, yes it sounds good in commercials maybe in reality it's not so good. But another topic is overall functionality. And a a tool ipad is far behind, yes it's OK for media consumption, has some better very specific apps in appstore ( for example for work with 3D models) but as a good tool its way too limited. With earlier ios version + jailbreak and milky-way2 mod os so it can be usable maybe, but no it's not intended to be a tool. No proper mouse support. But it's OK, it for different people for different needs. If you need get a job done get tab s6/7/7+, if you lacking of confidence and need "show off" factor get an iPad. Which will cost and weight more than MacBook air

Watching this from my Tab S7 Plus which I love. Great video.
Still rocking a TAB S4 and loving it. Bought it at a good TMobile price and added the FINTIE cover with bluetooth keyboard when it came out. Works great.
Watching this on my iPad 12.9 2020, but my gf is an android user and wants a tablet I think the Galaxy Tab s7 is the way to go
It's a really good option if she's going Android - no doubt. Thanks for watching and for being part of the channel!
It’s unfortunately I’m an Android only person my entire life, but the s7+ is like a second rate iPad Pro to me. Besides the speakers and screen, my iPad Pro is superior in every way for me. I’d stay away unless you absolutely have to buy Android. Tab os is incredible. The s7+ os is like a slower clunkier less intuitive iOS gestures/fluidity.
@@MobileAura Couldn't disagree more as a S7+ user. The screen quality is much better, and at the end of the day that's what you stare at, it is the most important factor. The Snapdragon 865 is an excellent processor, and in real world use, is nothing short of lightening quick. There are plenty of TH-cam videos showing the S7+ beating the Ipad pro for speed too so no idea why you're saying it's slower? if anything it's also more intuitive as you have Dex, which means you have a laptop-like experience too if needed for workflow, something the Ipad hasn't got at all.
The only downside is a few apps here and there aren't optimised, but that isn't a Samsung problem, that is android. For most users, the S7+ represents a vastly better value product at a saving of £400-500 for the Apple equivalent. The good news as well is that more apps are getting optimised all the time, not to mention Samsung has now committed to 4 years of software updates!
@@julianmorgan5994 What you’re talking about is in-paper vs real-world. In the real world my iPad is much more fluid much more intuitive and absolutely a much smoother experience in every aspect. Every app is just nicer/better made/less glitchy.
I’ve used my iPad Pro 2018 since, well, 2018, and I have only 2 complaints: lack of 5G, 4 GB ram becomes annoying sometimes (rarely).
I’ve used the Tab s7+ since release, but it’s been collecting dust for 3-4 months... Complaints: Codm/pubgm is unplayable even today, gestures are slow and unresponsive at times, huge white bar at the bottom of apps that go full screen, every app feels like a dollar store version of iOS app lower res not as nice looking. Buttons are annoying on the side/not as nice. Device is almost as heavy even though it’s much smaller display-wise.
You say better screen? I agree in terms of quality, but 4:3 aspect ratio + lcd means no OLED burn = better “screen” for me in the iPad, yet again comparing paper specs vs real world experience.
Trust me I’m a huge apple hater and I really really tried to love the tab s7+, I was so excited to never have to deal with Apple again, turns out the tab s7+ to me is like a generic version of the iPad Pro with 5G, faster charging, more ram and some unique features, but compared to the iPad Pro they can’t compare, they’re not even in the same ballpark experience wise. And this is coming from somebody who hasn’t had a PC since 2014 and has been a purely mobile platform person. I’m on my tablet 14-16 hours a day if I’m not working.
So these little fluidity things and optimization issues make a huge gigantic difference in your day-to-day use of the product, for me it’s just not there yet, and won’t be for a very long time.
wait for the s8 tab. it should be coming up soon
Damn, the Samsung tablet has really stepped up its game. It’s just a shame that the apps haven’t caught up with the new tablet. There’s no procreate or art studio pro…😑but the price is soooooo nice and 8gb of ram sounds SUPER SUPER nice.
I hope they keep up the great output though. It’s about time someone dethrones apple. The App Store for the Samsung tablet really needs to catch up though.😮💨
It's app store is just fine lmao
@@LordHyperi0n samsung store and google play is very lacking compared to apple. I love samsung and hve no brand loyalty but I only wish Samsung had a better set of apps. But i guess not everything can be perfect.

You should try goodlock modules from Samsung like multistar. With it you can have change app window size, or use as many apps as you want even not in DEX mode. Also it solve that random app rotation

I like Samsung devices because of all the freedoms I have with it so many different free things you can do. With apple its either not allowed or you have to pay 🤷 not to mention Samsung dex is just insane
I don't like dex but I do love android. This is why I'm getting an iPhone 13 because all my family and friends are getting an iphone/have iphone, or maybe a zfold 3 if it's VERY good, but I'll always have an Android device.

So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!
What did you decide?
@@tiffanydavis2779 I bought the Tab S7+, even though the iPad is more user friendly, the Samsung Tab can do a lot more than the iPad, the Samsung tab for me is worth the money I spend on it as it allows me to use it to the full extent. But at the end of the day it is whatever you are comfortable with, I also own samsung phone so I may have just selected something I am more used to.
@@srikarkovirineni3545 thanks for the advice!
@@srikarkovirineni3545 would you get the s7+ or wait for the possible s8+
The Apple ecosystem also comes with your purchase of the iPad Pro.
lol. for sure!
Absolutely - check out this video: th-cam.com/video/TJ-TaDeg27c/w-d-xo.html Thanks for being part of the channel!
Samsung is getting closer and closer to a good ecosystem like apple
@@MichaelK1710 Samsung dominates phone market, displays,Buds+ are amazing, etc.
Apple dominates tablets, watches, laptops (sort of I hate Mac OS), and displays for pc actually (xdr)
I’m an Android fan boy but I feel like my 2018 dominates my s7+ and I tried to like my s7+ but I’ve never been more disappointed with a device.
Kinda true.. *but you forgot apple ecosystem is an extra 2000 bucks*
This really was an excellent review/comparison. Thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Great Video, Thanks.
I have both, as a graphic designer. The s-pen feels way more comfortable than Apple pen although Apple does a bit better with palm rejection... I use the Tab s7+ way more than my IPad.
At this moment Clip Studio Paint is the best asset Tab s7+ has for artists, it is a bit complicated to use at 1st, but it is a very complete app. Apple still has procreate, which is great. And this is really where it comes down to when comparing these two devices: The apps. Tab s7+ severely lacks of pro level apps. I use Clip Studio the most for drawing, Krita for animation, kinemaster for video editing and wave editor for audio editing. Those to me are the best apps available for each categories.
The hardwares are equally great, Premium, you can't go wrong with either. Image and sound quality on both are amazing.
Valuable comment. Thanks for sharing.
@@PraveenAV you're welcome
Excellent. Thank you so much for sharing your actual experience 🙏🏻
@@TechGearTalk no problem 👍🏾
So basically you use the tab for fun and iPad for work ? I love it
You can change the browser client to desktop in android browser settings which resolves your issue with the mobile browser view. You'll have a regular desktop browser like on your laptop. I thought you might want to try it out.
Hi Evander - I have that turned on (for the Samsung browser: Request Desktop Sites: enabled) and TH-cam is still taking me to the mobile version. Let me know if you're getting something else (this is not in Dex)
@@TechGearTalk Did you try other browsers? I no longer have mine, but Samsung’s browser worked for me.
Great comparison. I think I'll check out the rest of your content
great comparisons, thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it Matt!
The tab has faster transitions from screen to screen. It also glides up and down pages faster and handles multitasking like laptop with a full processor.
"When I'm at home and not wearing a mask" would have been such a weird thing to say 2 years ago!
True
Hopefully a weird thing to say in 2 years as well :)
The mask does nothing
@@unbroken1010 That’s simply not true. And you don’t have to be rocket scientist to understand this. Let me explain. The mask 😷 maybe does not help protecting from Corona, but it helps to reduce spreading it. Sure you saw yourself breathing in the winter before. You see how your breath creates a big cloud infront of you, now try the same with a mask. The cloud will be much much smaller if even visible. So the mask helps to reduce the spreading.
@@Grim_Azrael no .. New studies show them at 10 percent effective at best..

What a great review. I love your uplighting.
It's like you read my mind in terms of recent questions in my mind regarding a nice, high performance tablet that can double as a production device in a pinch. Cheers once again! Top notch work as usual!
Thank you so much for the feedback and support Sean!
iPad has better apps for editing (Affinity, Lumafusion, etc.) where as Android has vastly superior file system.
I thought I was lucky when you made video about both of the products I was thinking about getting now a comparison amazing.

The S7 plus is great. i have had it for over 7 months now and its the best tablet ive used so far. I dont carry my laptop around as often anymore
I feel weird because I have a Galaxy S21 Ultra, but I'm an artist that does work for money sometimes (mostly just a hobby), and I strongly prefer the more canvas-like aspect ratio and the pen feel of the Apple iPad Pro. I don't really play games on my tablets or phone, and I watch Netflix usually on my 4k TV (I don't get out too much), so those particular facts not a dealbreaker for me. With the 2021 iPad pro, I think that the screen and its weak spots will definitely outperform the Tab S7+.
Your channel is seriously the best sub I've ever done!!!
Great overview and breakdown, thank you 😊❤️. I have a Fujitsu T936 but am looking to purchase a standalone tablet. Thank you for explaining the choices,
Ravi Peiris M.D.
Out of the box, yeah Tab S7 lacks a few things but with apps like goodlock, it really fixes everything. What i really like the mkst is the file manager, DEX, and the ability to download apps off the internet which is all that apple lacks imo. Regardless both are monster machines
I am of the exact same opinion haha. I love sideloading, and Good Lock on my Tab S7.
Great video, mate! I've been an iPad Pro guy since 2016. Tried the S7 Plus for a few weeks, but aside from its gorgeous AMOLED screen, I still prefered the iPad. I'll be getting the 2021 12.9" Pro + Magic Keyboard, later this month.
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate you taking the time to share you experience. Thanks for being part of the channel!
Why did u preferred it?
great video, but one thing I need to comment about apple vs Samsung is the updates, how many years each company is updating their product?
Another informative video, thank you! Regarding RAM differences between the iPad Pro M1 12.9" and the Galaxy S7+: Does either OS utilize RAM more or less efficiently?
This video was so cool! Congrats wow
So glad you liked it!
The ONLY thing I wish I could find for my S7+ is a true stand alone 3D Modeling App like Shapr3D for the iPad. As of right now, I can cover nearly all my computing needs, including Art, Design & Photography with what's in the Play Store. But 3D modeling is sadly lacking.
Very informative and unbiased review..thanks bro

Thanks for the descriptive comparison, I think I'm gonna go with Samsung S7+. It's much more affordable and works almost the same as an iPad.
As a digital artist, I would love to own an iPad Pro one day since it has wider display compared to Galaxy Tab.
Nice review. I have an older iPad Pro but I prefer Android, even for tablets. Apple still has its advantages and exclusive perks. But here's why I find the Tab S7+ to be the best choice.
Customization and full access to the file system. Android has a much more customizable interface than Apple. I enjoy the array of live wallpapers Android has to offer. The animations are customizable and practically limitless. iPad has animated wallpaper but all the ones I've tried on iOS are only on the lockscreen and only move when pressed.
Samsung has a really nice edge screen feature that allows you to quickly access favorite or frequently used apps at any time. I like this feature. It works nicely with Nova Launcher, which I prefer over Samsung's launcher.
On Android, it is easy to download, send, extract, archive, arrange, rename and convert any file type. This is very important. It is an essential function iOS lacks. iPads have a file manager but they are nowhere near as useful or capable as the file managers on Android. There is a default file manager on Samsung devices but there are several others that can be installed and come with more features. iOS does not allow users to have as much access to the file system as Android does. For example, I can connect a portable hard drive or thumb drive to the Tab S7+ and instantly access the files without transferring them to the tablet. I like being able to do that. Especially when I am screen-mirroring.
This is another advantage Samsung has. Tab S7+ can wirelessly mirror content to any smart TV. It is basically universal. iPads only screen mirror to specific TV models unless you purchase an Apple TV.
Android also has a broader selection of web browsers and much more efficient ad-blocking options than iOS. The default web browsers on the Tab S7+ and iPad Pro are alright but not great. To me, Safari, the stock iOS browser, works better than other browsers on iOS. But on the Tab S7+, other browsers are better than the Samsung browser and comparable to a desktop browsing experience.
Expandable storage is another important feature for my uses. Tab S7+ has it. iPad Pro does not. I have the 512GB storage option on the S7+. It was on sale for $880 at Best Buy. The Sandisk 1TB memory card that retails for $500 at Best Buy was on sale for $190 but cost $140 because the $50 giftcard given with the tablet purchase was applied. So I was able to get 1.5TB of storage on the Tab S7+ for $1,020 when the 1TB iPad Pro which is non-expandable, hasn't really gone on sale, is still $1,500. With the Apple Pencil, that bumps it up to $1,630. Samsung gave me more storage, a stylus and better overall specs for over $600 less than the iPad.
Speaking of value, you mentioned the s-pen being included with the Samsung. Not only is it included. It can do more than the Apple Pencil. For basic use, the S-pen does not need to be charged. The Apple Pencil does. S-pen has bluetooth, which is more useful than I realized it would be. It is an extension of my tablet similar to the way my smartwatch is an extension of my phone because of the media control functions. This is especially useful when implementing Samsung's dual audio, which allows me to connect any two bluetooth audio devices simultaneously, regardless of the brand or model. This works great for when you want to stream music without having songs interrupted by calls or notifications like you would if your phone was connected. If you are hosting an event at home whenever life goes back to normal, the pen offers a convenient way to control sound volume, pause, play, repeat and skip tracks without having to pick up the tablet.
I also like being able to use the pen as a pointer and mouse through the S-mouse app. I don't use the camera very often but I like being able to use it as a shutter button.
Gaming is also an advantage the S7+ has. Their partnership with Microsoft and Google opens them up to a broader range of gamers. Android's support of emulators compared to the lackthereof that exists on Apple stands out to me. On the Tab S7+, I can download and apply patches to run modded versions of old-skool games. I can run the original, non-modded games from any region for most consoles of the Sega Dreamcast era all the way back fo Atari. Apple is playing catch up and just recently started supporting certain kinds of bluetooth gamepads when pretty much every gamepad imaginable has been compatible with Android for years. It is not as easy to install emulators on the iPad as it is on Android. On top of that, I have used chains of adapters to connect original wired SNES and PS1 controllers to the Samsung while also connecting to the TV via HDMI for the full retro console on the go vibe. Apple doesn't do that.
Samsung's native note-taking app is practically perfect. I use it frequently and have not seen anything similar that I like better. Also, I find the aspect ratio of the Tab S7+ more ideal for reading digital comic books than the iPad.
These aren't all of the reasons I prefer the Tab S7+. But I just wanted to share these because the iPad is great but the Samsung can do things that I don't think many people realize it can do. Or maybe these are just uses most people don't think of.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such thorough feedback and insight. Grateful to have you as part of the channel.
Thanks man
Excellent review 😊
And the 'buy nice or buy twice' became my tagline while discussing new purchase decision making with my wife 😅😊. Big thanks again
Thank you for the kind words!! Glad the tagline is helpful. I appreciate you for being part of the channel!
I wish that Samsung would get around to updating the Tab S2 8" - for light media consumption and browsing that was the perfect tablet 5 years ago. It is very light (272 g) so if you use it as e-book reader it is incredibly comfortable. But because it is a 6 year old design it has poor battery life.
I love the Tab S7 and S7+ but they are just too big and heavy for me - not really a criticism they are aimed at a more professional work environment than my home use.
Great video and unlike so many reviews, unbiased
I love your honesty! Thank you for the hard work
I used to be an iPad user but found Tab S7 plus extremely power and versatile. I recognize though the iOS has a better eco system for softwares which delivers slightly better experience. But the iPad is way too expensive when you have to match up with the Tab S7+ with pen and keyboard. You would need to pay nearly 50% more on the iPad when you got a pen and a keyboard and storage up to 256G. The Apple tax for additional memory is penalizing its fans.
Awesome review 👍
I have not been back to your channel for a while but this was very very helpful. It brought out some very sensible points I am more Android than Apple this really put things in perspective for me. So Thank you. I will come back again
I feel like waiting to see the s8+ announcement to see if the next iteration is better than the iPad pro I currently have (2019 11inch?). I hope it has higher refresh rates
When they droppin the S8+ ?
Me just buying an iPad for procreate: I regret my life decisions 😀
If you had to do it over again, You'd go Tab S7 +?
Woman moment
That’s the exact same reason I bought my iPad Pro… and now knowing how good the tab s7 is, especially since I have all galaxy devices, galaxy watch sport, galaxy buds +, s21, etc. and its even more frustrating knowing that apple accessories are ridiculously expensive and not as good of a quality. And that’s not just hating on apple, that’s from trying their accessories for the iPad Pro, like trying the magic keyboard, which is a joke for $350

good content thank you , for the information it helps alot i am looking into buying 1 off them soon but i am not sure which but my main reason i am buying is for gaming specifically PUBG mobile which one would you recommend from the two
Ok let me sum it up for people:
-If you are in a school, office, or teaching workflow that needs a good multitasking device. (Plus more affordable and expandable storage) Choose Samsung.
-If you are an artist or someone who needs a beefy processor thing for work (graphics designer or video editor) yet you don't want to buy a laptop or pc, choose Apple because of the M1 chip. (Granted it's more expensive and the pencil is NOT included, if it suits you more than Samsung, then buy it.)
