Samsung in July was introduced its latest tablet offering, the 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. This is Samsung’s best and biggest tablet yet, so we thought we’d see how it stacks up against the 12.9-incher iPad Pro.
At 14.6 inches, the Tab S9 Ultra is significantly larger than the iPad Pro, and it has an impressive OLED screen with deep blacks and rich colors. Apple is using mini-LED for the latest iPad Pro and there are rumors that it will switch to OLED, but Apple hasn’t gotten there yet.
There’s a fingerprint sensor under the display that’s complemented by facial recognition (Samsung’s facial recognition still can’t compare to Face ID), and a horizontal front-facing camera so you can use the front-facing camera in landscape orientation, unlike the iPad Pro. There is no one Apple Pencil, but Samsung’s tablets use the S-Pen, which is feature-rich and comparable to the Apple Pencil (plus it’s included in the price). Latency is about the same, and there’s a convenient charging slot for it on the back of the tablet.
The battery lasts for about eight hours and for storage it supports a microSD card, which is not the case with some Apple products. It is IP68 water and dust resistant, which is a higher ingress rating than iPads.
There are some notable annoyances, like the $350 keyboard cover that’s heavy, can’t be used in one turn, and has a shaky, hard-to-use trackpad. The speakers aren’t as good as the speakers in the iPad Pro, and overall Android on a tablet doesn’t have the smoothness or usability of iPadOS on a iPad.
What do you think of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra? Let us know in the comments below.
