Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Display Comparison
iPad Pro vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Review
Both great as far as I am concerned though as with everything pros and cons either way. Whatever you choose for your own specific needs I am sure you will be happy, though I would argue that the Tab S8+ is the natural rival to the iPad Pro 12.9 and that the Tab S8 Ultra is on its own as a one off with no real tablet competition at this size, only 2-in-1 W11 machines.
@Joe Filter or a galaxybook pro
@Graham Brown only if you pre order it.
I do reading, web surfing, and communications, so I’d prefer the iPad in portrait orientation. The Samsung tablets are you 16 x 9 and don’t fit standard pages as well. But if you’re watching videos the Samsung aspect ratio is perfect.
What comparison would you like to see between these two tablets next? I’ve got a Stylus/Note-Taking comparison in the works!
One of the best Comparison review video ever…….. From an Apple Fan boy (9 to 5Mac)
As an artist – can you focus on “feel” when taking notes?
The Apple Pencil will always have that slippery plastic on glass feel but Samsung’s EMR should allow you to use different and better Wacom styli with it.
I have both and the tab screen looks better hands down the iPad u can see better outside other than that it goes to the tab.
@fablewalls majority of the time you’re using it indoors and on top of that, you’re using it at night and/or in darker settings.
The mini LED display is what makes it brighter, but consequently also makes the bloom terrible.
The blooming on the iPad is so bad that a lot of people actually thought it’s a glitch or bug and have even returned it due to this.
On OLED type displays there’s no blooming at all.
Because he didn’t render 4K 30fps video on both devices… because then he will know s8 ultra is better by few seconds… also… he didn’t open white screen on both with full brightness to see which one is actually brighter…. Watching experience is better on s8 ultra because lesser black portion than to fill 4:3 ratio iPad display…. He just read the specs
I have an iPad Pro 9.7″ and bought a Tab S7+ for half the price of an iPad Pro 12.9″ and the aspect ratio is way better for what I use a tablet for (video and comics). Videos are kind of tiny with huge black bars on the iPad Pro. I’m even trading in both for the Tab S8 Ultra. Samsung’s are a lot cheaper when you factor in the fact that they come with the stylus and keyboard case (for pre-orders for the latter). Being able to sideload apps is a gamechanger for me too. I didn’t like how slippery the Apple Pencil Gen 1 was but I think the Gen 2 is a lot better in that regard. So yeah, I think it just depends on how you use your tablet.
For Android, Go to developer settings and set the animation to 0.5 down from 1.0 that will make the UI & Apps transition much quicker and smoother.
@RunForPeace 2020 i know i am using it but still i can see some animation with iphone than android which reduced animation. you can make device launch apps faster and look smooth i have compared it and found it its faster than ios feature can use it i wouldn’t say no and not having it
You’ll definitely have to do this as the Samsung tablet ages, and it will not age well as far as the processor or system updates. But if you are buying this to watch video I think this Samsung is the one to get.
Or just turn them off…I have them off on my 2 Samsung phones and my Tab S8 ULTRA…I have USB debugging on too …
Wow a honest comparison from a apple reviewer…lol. Did you turn off the vivid display settings for the samsung before the review. Yes it’s more saturated with that turned on. Also talking about the aspect ratio, let’s be real vertically the iPad is more what most of us are used to but horizontally, the samsung clearly has the edge. And the Samsung has deeper blacks.
No contest when it comes to screen and watching media ultra wins you must have mentioned the iPad pro about a million times
Yeah when sometimes the ultra looked better
to me videos looked way better on s8 ultra because of aspects ratio and colors too
Im an fan but considering the screen size difference & both being around the same price, i would go the Samsung tablet.
Im no expert but my viewing on this comparison i couldnt really tell that much difference! I would much prefer the bigger screen. Just my opinion. Thanks Miles!
Trust me dude who did this is practically blind . You can see noticably blooming on the iPad mini led which is consistent with back light controlled mini led. You can see the S8 ultra has much better Contrast and sharper thanks to it’s higher resolution . For power I’ll say iPad pro will destroy the S8 ultra. In terms of screen quality the S8 ultra is a no brainer.
Problem with the iPad it only support 15 watt charging as the android supports 45 watt charging.
@NekoSinonTv even the new M2?
Just a side note: why didn’t you run the displays through a color test system? Eyeballing it is not a good measure of display color quality, which is why we have P3, sRGB, etc.
You can change the window speeds in the developer settings and if you make them faster it might be more smooth
How weird. He’s making comparisons and clearly expressing a subjective opinion. The content looks better and more enjoyable on the amoled panel and it is a fact, but he says the complete opposite lol. iPad is more true to life, but that doesn’t mean it looks better than the Tab S8 ultra.
He’s an apple fan that’s why he prefers apple and ipad.
I’ve done a side by side comparison of the iPad pro and S7+ and the AMOLED looks better. Blooming is really distracting in the dark scenes
@M A of course AMOLED looks better anyone who knows technology will know the answer is obvious this dude just an apple fan because they never bring or make anything new.
There are a few display modes on Samsung devices vibrant (the mode you had it on), advanced a mode that you can calibrate, and natural a neutral mode.
Finally, a series of relevant comparisons. Great job!
I have the iPad pro and the blooming is really bad, the only time that I would say this display is better than amoled is when there is no black on the screen, which is almost never. Not to mention the aspect ratio, 16:10 is way better if you plan on doing gaming(ps,xbox,steam) on the tablet.
The only thing that I know about these both tab, that S8 ultra has multitasking features and its easily to do work because the android can have third party easier. But its not always safe because of the third party can do harm to your tab. Also, the battery life is stay longer than Ipad. Ipad is definitely win against performance and resolutions. But its hard to get third party apps because the apps you have to buy it, and apple ios is safer than android. However, the battery life span is quite disappointed for apple products. More benefits to tab 8 ultra is the size of the screen. Its totally worth it!
The Tab S8 Ultra has 2 display settings. By default it’d set on Vivid mode. Try using Natural mode to get the most accurate colors 🙂
There is just no comparison. I have both. The Ultra is massively superior for streaming. It’s bigger, multitasks much better. Sorry but Apple is way behind Samsung now. I was so glad to retire the iPad Pro and step up to the best tablet available. And it actually has a real file syetem!
Stunning comparison. Thanks 🙂
I had an ipad pro and traded it for the S8. I absolutely love the s8. Paid less than $600 and it came with the spen which is awesome. I use it often in dex mode as a legit laptop and also as a desktop when plugged into my monitor. One of the coolest devices I’ve owned. I’m hoping Apple gets innovative again. More speed and a better camera than last year’s model needs to change.
How did you pay less than $600?
