I'm such a fan of Samsung Galaxy tablets that I'd rather suck it up than lose out on having it. In the big scheme of things, this rates an irritant factor of .0000000001 out of 1000.

Why would battery optimizations REDUCE contrast on an OLED display? Having a perfect black would save more battery since the pixels would be completely off. You're coping and you're lying. It has to do with Samsung's awful anti-reflective coatings.

[@RiceCubeTech]

@@Sensual_Burgerking oled isnt as efficient as people think it is. especially when it comes to displaying white text. a backlight, believe it or not, is way better for hitting bright white things while preserving more power. oled is very power hungry in everything but perfect blacks.

[@RiceCubeTech]

It is not a better panel. 120 percent coverage of DCI P3 isnt good if the panel is only 8 bit, youll still see artifacts and banding in gradients. The Apple panel is brighter, better for hdr, is actually true 10 bit, and is far more color accurate for HDR grading. Again, above 100 percent DCI P3 isnt good if the panel cant actually display the full range of colors. 10 bit is much needed for color work.

As far as the speakers go, did you change it to Dolby Atmos? The Book pro 3 is beautiful in beige color, modern/sleek build, I see no finger prints, the screen is gorgeous!! What sets this apart is the touch screen capability and the S pen is the best out there. The pen is so light and very slick. Also you don't have to plug in the pen to charge. These things may not be a big deal to some, but wanted to share what was important to me. If the screen dimmed, more than likely it is a setting you have checked that is making it so. I have mine on dynamic, used for a few hours striaght and no dimming. Also, I didn't have it plugged in.

Such a fan boy… the Samsung screen is miles better

[@ahaimes6320]

LCD displays are now as good as OLED as they can reach higher brightness and better battery consumption. Also, the screen reflections on OLED washes the blacks to grey. Add, the OLED has to dim when a white background is used for a little while due to that consuming more battery than LCD. Also a 1080p OLED is not as good as a 1080p LCD due to the pixel arrangement in OLEDS. Apple refused to use OLEDs for these reasons and that they do not last as long as Apple expects them. Apple has developed their own dual panel OLED which Samsung and LG will manufacture for them later this year. They will have twice the max brightness and their lifespan will be >2X what is on this Samsung. They will also not have the mirror-like screens that Samsung uses (to save money I suspect).

Finally, Mac can achieve better results in his tests, but what about adding compatibility tests in your test suit.

If you just get a subset of what a machine is capable of, it is hard to tell which one is better than the other.

The problem with Samsung is the reflection of the screen. Even though oled contrast is much better you cannot appreciate them because that screen is almost a mirror.

Other than the LCD screen glow, I enjoy Apple's displays but I like the LED displays for watching movies.

[@ahaimes6320]

He was referring to the known issue of reflective OLED displays that in sunlight lose their deep blacks and become rather subpar to look at. If you only use it indoors away from a light source it is fine but in real life, I prefer the MB displays.

[@azexy21]

@@ahaimes6320 no the glass shield is the reflective one gunuis do you see iphones eflective?

[@PTYC933]

I believe there is a big difference from phone oled to laptop oled. Phone oled can easily hit 1000nits, laptop you might see 600, and laptops if you don’t use it in complete darkness, then reflectivity becomes a factor, just like a smudged/micro scratched phone screen will look like it’s blooming compared to a clean and flawless screen in non complete darkness.

[@SamTheBattleshipp]

@@ahaimes6320 yeah, Apple's coatings on the Macbooks have been the best I've ever been able used so far. I'm very pleased with my Macbook Air's screen, just wish it had more nits brightness than 400, but not that big of a deal for me since I don't use it in bright lights.

[@SamTheBattleshipp]

@@PTYC933 true, and that is probably just my preference to the brighter displays. And you are so right about micro scratches causing issues for any display (or even glasses)

I like to Samsung amoled display.

[@mostafazeinivand]

Can hardly wait to see all the comparisons you guys will do between the different devices.

[@whatident]

My problem with Samsung is that they fundamentally think it's acceptable to be a copycat - if they're basically chuckling to themselves that they're copying so many of what Apple does, what does it say about the people who identify with their brand?

[@lukabosnjak3829]

That's why people who like samsung mostly don't know anything about actual capabilities of their products...

[@macrochipped]

It didn't always used to be this way. I miss the Samsung that used to be the anti-apple. Now they're a shameless Apple clone and if it wasn't for me actually liking One UI, I would've jumped ship a long time ago.

[@techstation365]

Samsung is not a unified brand like Apple. They are a conglomerate and do business among themselves. Samsung Semiconductors, Displays, Electronics etc etc are all different entities.

[@CT-vm4gf]

It’s because it works for them, they copy Apple and people buy their stuff.

I miss the days of upgradable ram, is such a cheap way to boost performance

[@ronald3836]

Behaviour unplugged is just a matter of the default battery-saving settings. The Samsung laptop can probably be configured to give the same performance unplugged as plugged (but it wouldn't last very long).

[@mostafazeinivand]

Great video as always! Look forward for more.

[@bartwaggoner2000]

The battery life for the performance of the Mac is still astonishing

[@Wintersoldier73]

I'll be interested in a comparison once Samsung introduces their own ARM chipset with ARM based windows build.

[@Wintersoldier73]

@Goobfilm cast I would just be interested in a comparison, not interested in windows. And there is an ARM version of windows.

[@aviatedviewssound4798]

You waiting for the snapdragon 8cx gen 4, i also heard intel is starting to rebuild they're instruction to more simple ones like arm they starting doing it with the 13th gen that's why it's was a big gain in efficiency but i heard the final version is supposed to be Jim Keller's lunar lake design that is to be released next year 2024.

Dolby atmos isn't magic, it can't make low end appear out of nothing. I suspect the results would be very similar

macbook has lesser storage, less ram and DDR4 not 5, slower ssd, worse heat management, 60hz, 2k display compared to 120 hz, 3k, annoying notch, AT SAME PRICE (if you can compromise on battery a bit i.e. not travelling often) book 3 pro wins

[@mightyhuman5518]

They are incomparable. Booth are running different ecosystem and apple has upperhand due their own Manufacturing chips and OS

[@LanreSule-ip1uj]

the display of the Samsung looks better than here though

[@GreeKing83]

Interesting on the difference between performance plugged in and on battery on the new Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360. I have the Samsung Galaxy Book 360 Pro with the 11th gen i7, and get about the same performance scores on battery and plugged in. Also with the battery life measurement. Not sure if it's just this model Samsung, but I've noticed on my Galaxy Book 360 pro, it will say like 2 hours 30 minutes, and then after 10 minutes it will jump to 7 hours and randomly change. Not sure why though, but did a self test on my old Samsung laptop, ran a 24 hour youtube video and got about 9 hours on high performance and brightness maxed out before the laptop shutoff.

[@super_hero2]

The battery is not the same for the Galaxy Book3 though because mainly of the display resolution and display size. You will see a huge reduce in battery life compares to the Galaxy Book 1 and 2 gens simply because of that. I would estimate a 6 hour battery life doing the same thing on your current laptop. I don't know what magic macbook use but they sure are on a complete different level in term of battery.

[@GreeKing83]

@@super_hero2 I've read the MacBook Pro 14 with M2 Pro chip gets about 12.5 hours of battery life in real world testing. Samsung claimed 18 hours, but I could only get that if I had power mode set to best power efficiency, and fans on silent. For me, 6 to 9 hours is plenty.

[@super_hero2]

​@@GreeKing83 The M2 MacBook Air will reach at least 18 hours if all you do is stream KZbin video (like the test you mentioned above). You don't need to set power mode or anything on the MacBook. From the videos I saw, I would estimate the MacBook to outlast the Galaxy by 3 times. The Galaxy Book3 Pro probably won't last 6-9 hours if you are doing more than KZbin streaming.

@@audam-san7707 You need psychiatric help. Seriously, maybe you can sell the Samsung products to be able to afford some health insurance and some Zoloft. If you feel the need to be combative over someone's opinion over tech and make multiple comments one after the other, you would do well with a straitjacket and some sedatives.
