Despite the fact that in a few days, hopefully, we will know the appearance of the next iPad Pro 2 (the true rival at the height of the Galaxy Tab S3), both Apple and Samsung have already left their first tablets on the market for this 2017. Today we put two teams face to face to show similarities and differences.
Viewing characteristics and prices of the Galaxy Tab S3 and the new iPad 9.7, one would think that the tablet of Samsung it was going to be way above Apple on all parcels. However, the apple has been showing that it is also capable of creating a range medium-premium interesting and having its own closed ecosystem makes apparently more limited hardware perform surprisingly well.
Galaxy Tab S3 and iPad 9.7: face to face in video
There are plots in which undoubtedly the samsung tablet is better than the new iPad, and we are buying possibly the best current Android in every way with a kind of rehash of late 2013. The design of the Galaxy Tab S3, especially its screen, are far above pieces that come to be little more than a reissue of the first iPad Air.
As we say, the subject of the screen is very appreciable. The protective glass of the iPad is thick, it takes a lot of reflections, it does not get such a direct tactile experience ... but also, the display Super AMOLED Samsung is the best we can find today in the 10 inches. With great contrast, very deep dark tones and no need to raise the brightness to find vibrancy. Even at the time of reading, the Galaxy Tab S3 is very capable of replicating a paper-like background.
Performance comparison, the new iPad stays close
The processor of the iPad 9.7 It is an A9, that is, the same one that at the time premiered iPhone 6s, with which, that piece is not as outdated with respect to the Galaxy Tab S3 as the chassis. This detail, together with the great efficiency of iOS makes the latest tablet on the apple can get a little closer to the performance of the Android.
We see that even the multitask it is sometimes faster on the iPad, although the Galaxy works more consistently and safely. When the Samsung device offers us a page or a application, shows it to us already fully loaded, while its rival still has to do.
In any case, as we say, the new iPad is a very interesting device for a price not too high to be Apple. However, if what we want is a hardware absolutely up-to-date and the best possible display, the Galaxy Tab S3 is the winning option.
