M4 iPad Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 | Shocking Tablet Upset?!

Today let's compare my two favorite tablets. The M4 iPad Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. Both pretty good in their own rights, but which makes more sense for you?

[@ColinHuijser]

Okay massive rant coming up... You're absolutely right, and I hate it so much... I have a Samsung tab S7+ right now and I love the damn thing. I've had it for almost four years, and what's so amazing about it is that is has an excellent OLED screen, 120hz refresh rate and the best pen. The iPad only has that now and people are wetting their trousers... Well ok, yeah the screen is amazing on the iPad but still, the screen on my tabS7+ looks amazing as well. And after 4 years it stills operates as brand new, it never feels slow. It has only recently begun to feel a bit sluggish in for example Lightroom. The keyboard case is great and you have a place to put your pen. WHY HASN'T APPLE SOLVED THIS AFTER ALL THIS TIME?! But here's the kicker, and this is what I'm most frustrated about.... I'm going to buy the iPad M4. And here's why: I absolutely love working on my tablet. I want to do all my work on my tablet, I kind of dislike my laptop now, that's how much I love my tablet. I only want to use a desktop with 2 screens for ultimate multitasking and power use, or use my tablet. But there's a big problem: I can't use any of the pro apps that I want to use on the Samsung... I want to edit on my tablet in resolve, which I love and use on my Mac, but I can't on Samsung. I want to write my scripts in Final Draft. Not available on Android. I want to use the full version of photoshop: no can do. I want to take notes in Goodnotes; well okay you can, but like you said, it kinda sucks on Samsung... And I absolutely hate all of this. Because I'm now going to switch back to Apple again (I used to have an iPad before I switched to Samsung) because I really want and need to use those apps. I'm going to spend more than 2K on a device that in some ways will be WORSE than my four year old tablet (the multitasking, the pen) or similar (120hz, OLED - kinda) only because my Samsung has no acces to the professional apps. Pffff. And I know why it is: Android releases about 500 devices each year and the app developers cannot optimize for so many devices, but they can optimize for the couple of Apple products. But I just WISH Samsung could make a lucrative deal with Blackmagic and Adobe and some other developers, that they could only optimize for their absolute flagship products like the Galaxy tab+ or Ultra. Because let's be honest: the Samsung Tab is the only actual competitor to the iPad. So forget about all the other crap, just fix it on the Tab. But that won't happen because Apple's deal is waaaaaay too good for them I guess and they probably don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. But here's the thing: I think they'd make good money from it. I would buy all of Samsungs stuff and persuade all my friends as well. Hell, I almost convinced some people to switch to Samsung phones before I started to change my mind (because op the iPad and Resolve/photoshop etc) because you know what: the phones are better as well! There's splitscreen, close all apps, swipe right to go back in every app etc. Why is there no splitscreen on iPhone!? Okay... rant finished. But for real, I think the iPad will be amazing as well. The optimization on the Apple stuff is absolutely amazing and I'm looking forward to have all my devices in the same ecosystem again. And that screen... you can professionally grade on it. Stunning. And the M4 will probably last for years. But dear god do I hope iPad OS 18 will make things better. I don't necessarily want Mac OS on a tablet, I don't think those two systems match well, but I hope the multitasking will be better and that they'll take the restraints of. And oh lord I just wish tablets would have a desktop. I dunno, I love working from my desktop. Anyhoe, sorry for the long post. Love your vids man, you're not one of those corporate shells that only says the good stuff to get shit for free. Keep up the good work!

[@vriyena]

your mood swings about both the tablets was entertaining to read😂.

[@ColinHuijser]

@@vriyena haha thanks, I'm happy my misery regarding tablets is of some use!

[@jaysonva4256]

I love seeing so much passion on this topic, unfortunately you are absolutely right it's why I use an iPad mini for my apple only work and a tab s 9+ for everything else it's hard leaving the apple ecosystem for pro apps so I just minimize it plus the iPad mini is IMO one of the best devices apple has ever made would kill for a mini pro with a m3 chip 120hz hdmi output etc I hope the EU regulations regarding sidelining allow for better flexibility on iPadOS like we have on andriod

[@DFuegoH]

App developers should definitely prioritize the Samsung Tab S lineup because productivity wise it outshines the iPad. I don't want to be placed in a position where I have to switch to Apple just because of a few apps that are exclusively available on ios.

[@ruzaroos]

Great post. I think Pro App is too often equated with Creative Professional App. For the vast majority of the knowledge workers and students, the Pro App is the browser and an office suite. The mobile OS browsers and office suites are so inferior to their desktop OS counterparts. The rise of the tablet in the general workforce and student populations was largely driven by weight and battery superiority to laptops. I think this whole conversation will change if the Snapdragon X Plus & Elite actually stick the landing.

[@Gilfordd]

bro there are 60 year olds just graduating with their degrees, you good .

[@mdsmd55]

[@LivingByFire]

1. There is nothing wrong with going back to school. I graduated from seminary at 40. Good for you Gary! 2. I traded my Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra for an iPad Air m1. I did that because my entire family is in the Apple ecosystem, plus I am making the conscious shift to using a tablet as my only computer for livestream, video editing, etc, and the iPad Air is the device I could afford to make this shift.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Thanks! I'm actually really excited to get back at it. And that's something that keeps me firmly with apple too, my whole family has iPhones and its really easy to share access to subscriptions and other functions if we all stay together.

[@bryans8656]

Great comparison, as usual. Both are great devices, but more than I need. I took advantage of the new iPad releases and picked up the iPad Air 5 when the price dropped to $399US.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Dang that's a great deal too. I've also been doing my note taking on the iPad 10th gen and I think you can do all the same work there for less than half the price.

[@swankyorc2294]

hiiii i have been watching for a while love the work keep it up

[@iu1191]

Your videos are just so good. Your opinions are so honest and relatable. Even when I don't agree (and I agree a lot), it doesn't take away from the review. These kinds of reviews are for the 99.99% of people who buy these devices. People who use them in their daily life and are NOT comparing. If I have an iPhone and MacBook - get the iPad ...no-question. If not, the Samsung is the tablet de jure. It is not difficult, but people want to compare and say this one is slightly better than the other - if you are in the ecosystem .... you will not notice 'cos you will never have both. Why would anyone get both who is not reviewing them. They cost over $1000 each! Thanks for doing this so we don't have to.

[@SamuelObafemi]

Facts!!!

[@black.bird.]

13:58 The key sentence 👌🏻 This is the first time I am convinced that the Galaxy Tab is better suited for me. I will have to wait a couple of years before my 10-year-old laptop retires. Thanks for the video. It helps.

[@garynagle3093]

I recently bought the iPadPro M4 13”. I use a foldable ProtoArc keyboard and Bluetooth Logitech Mx anywhere mouse. Can work on my laptop or tablet. Marked more sense for me to be able to use on multiple devices.great video

[@The_Calm_Chaos]

This was a very good comparison. I've had both and while I've stuck with the iPad, mostly because of the ecosystem and slightly better aps, the Tab really impressed me in many ways that the iPad didn't. I also really loved the Samsung 2-in-1 book cover at the time - especially how you could separate the tablet from the keyboard but still keep the back cover on, as well as the way the 'book' kept the stylus in a secure place. I also preferred the feel of the Samsung stylus compared to the iPad pen, and that it also didn't need charging to use it for most things. I agree that the magic keyboard feels like it's constructed better, but it makes it so heavy in the end, which is not so good for transportation. They're both really good tablets and in the end it just comes down to how you want to use them, and I guess what ecosystem you are in.

[@KevinTspirit]

Great comparison review, as usual! I decided not to upgrade my iPad this year, it's great as at what it does. I do have a Tab S9 and can actually get some more things done on it easier than the ipad. When I need more power or control I have my M3 Macbook Air. The beauty is when I travel for extended periods, I can load all 3 in my bag and not be weighed down.

[@m.hreels9822]

very interesting comparison

[@Marcalitus]

My brother has the 11inch too and a lot of KZbinrs complain about how flimsy the Magic keyboard is when it is on your lap. Can you confirm the same for the 13th or was it why you exchanged it for the 11inch? Because I just sit on bed and do my work while I had my iPad 2018 with the Magic Keyboard which never failed me.

[@koll4t_cs645]

So it's settled, I'm getting my little sister a samsung tab for her notes taking and college work. Thanks for the great vid.

Hi, been watching you for some time. Do you live in Washington State ? I am English and live in England. I have several cousins who are from Poulsbo. Do you know it?

[@kead6636]

When you are working away from home with the tablet, are you working using Dex at all times? Could you talk about your usage when taking notes for example?

[@_Sedorikku97]

Tried both tabs. Unfortunately, the tab S9 is just unusable for me since it is too reflective. It takes me out of whatever I’m doing. It also has a bluish tint which is very disconcerting.

[@easily_excitable]

It is WILD to me that Samsung hasn't addressed reducing reflectivity on their tablets. Tab S9 Plus owner here. Blue tint is gone when activating "eye comfort" (which mimics TrueTone for iPad).

[@_Sedorikku97]

@@easily_excitable it should be an easy fix too. Crossing my fingers they use the coating they used on the S24 Ultra on the S10 series. I’ll probably go back if they do that.

“It’s the Dark Souls of computing” is the most accurate statement ever about using the iPad for productivity.

[@TheEverydayDad]

[@xoanxose7870]

I switched from the ipad pro to the samsung galaxy tab 3 years ago (I'm now on the tab 9 as well) and never looked back. One thing I've not see mentioned in the review is how you can still use the Samsung easily as tablet without detaching the case just flipping it over, which you cannot do with ipad pro, great when reading documents or books or viewing pictures on portrait mode. I just wish Dex would support natively 4k on external monitor, can be a bit blurry on those.

[@koll4t_cs645]

"1059 or whatever samsung feels like" 😂

[@PhantomNaj]

I have the 11 inch M4 iPad Pro as well. I returned my Magic Keyboard just because of the weight alone. I didn’t need it. But, I was originally going to have this as my on-the-go device. After a week of carrying around the iPad in the Magic Keyboard, I just went ahead and got an ESR folio. It’s lighter and makes it much easier to travel with. Plus, it’s much cheaper than the apple folio.

[@CartoonMonkeyStudio]

I have an older M1 Ipad pro, and the S9 Ultra. I end up using the S9 ultra more, not sure an oled screen / new processor brings anything new to the ipad for me. Superdisplay on Android / and a windows laptop make the S9 Ultra into a real time wacom pen display for another machine. Game changer. The ipad has it's uses, but I always feel more at home on the S9.

[@sumitjangraa]

I have the same devices and since the day I got my S9 Ultra I have rarely headed to my iPad. Everything that I need to do works on both but I just prefer the Samsung. Even though it might be slower than the M1 let alone M4 but I never noticed that.

[@sumitjangraa]

iPads in my opinion are too limited by their OS. It is like attaching Cycle Pedals to a Hatchback. iPadOS is limiting, even tho it might have a lot of power under the hood, it is of no use if I cannot harness it properly.

[@MikloV99]

I switched from a Galaxy Tab S7+ to an M1 iPad Pro and I really miss DeX mode. I love the iPad, but there’s a lot that I miss about the Samsung.

[@a7mednj787]

You can also easily find the Tab s9 around the 500 to 600 dollar price point with deals or open box or with a plan, and the case gets heavily discounted as well I got my s9 for around 550$ 128gb open box and the case for standard price and got an sd card for 1tb all in all it cost me around 850$ to have this amazing device and still in my eyes as someone who tried both the ipad and the tab s9 the s9 is the better bargain unless you seriously require apples ecosystem which even then there are far better deals with previous models or used ones imo

I got the IPad 10th Generation and I got the Smart Folio cover ! It is magnetic and I feel it might be a bit heavier. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks and sometimes the magnetic cover gets on my nerves! But I do have to say the IPad is less likely to come out of the cover which is good.

After my GCSEs I’m looking to buy an iPad Pro, and I’m not sure between getting the 13 inch or 11 inch, if I were to get the 11 inch I was wondering if it is worth also getting a monitor so I could use an external keyboard and mouse with the monitor and iPad while at home at my desk, but then I could just use the iPad when I’m at school for example. What do you think? Is there any point also getting a monitor, and should I go 11 inch or 13 inch?

[@suli_xli]

Still rocking my tab s7+. Don't feel the need to upgrade yet. Maybe after tab S13?

[@ljacobs357]

I agree with you. I prefer the Tab S9 because of its flexibility and customizability, especially when using Dex. I actually prefer the Samsung ecosystem because there are more devices that it is compatible with, including seamless switching between the earbuds and watches. I suppose it's a matter of which ecosystem you prefer, but I find iPadOS unnecessarily limiting. As for note-taking, I use Samsung Notes, which I find superior to Goodnotes.

[@pluggedev8464]

Curious why you switched to the 11inch after you got the 13inch pro initially? I just ordered the 13 inch after a lot of contemplation. I checked them both out at the Apple Store and found that multitasking on the 13inch is just better. The bigger screen allows for more usability out of stage manager (which I never used on my older iPad Pro 11inch).

[@jimtipton8888]

Hoping the function and ability of the OS on the iPad starts living up to the hardware! It can become frustrating. iPad has the potential to be a rock star.

[@TechAfterThoughts]

Maximizing you budget suggest: Samsung products get much cheaper when slightly older. The s8 ultra is 699 at bestbuy and an openbox keyboard is 72. Staedtler jumbo EMR pens are 30-40 bucks-they are way better than any spen or Apple pencil for drawing. When I need a portable mouse I use the Apple trackpad from my iMac. Gestures are supported and it's way slimmer to transport than a mouse.

[@chidorirasenganz]

It’s funny that you think the Magic Keyboard is heavy when it got lighter and now the 13in with the keyboard weighs less than the Macbook Air lol You probably would like the smart folio better since that’s the equivalent of the Samsung keyboard you used

[@Osmosis909]

Why can’t Apple just a Mac OS lite? Similar to how Dex functions. So you get some kind of Linux Desktop experience (skinned for Apple) and you can switch between iOS Tablet mode and Mac OS lite desktop mode. Surely it can’t be that difficult.

[@TheEverydayDad]

I don't have an s9 ultra, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like such a big tablet

[@techinrl9869]

I have both an iPad Pro and an S9 Ultra. Like Gary says, the Ultra is just too big. Unless you have massive hands, the tablet will start to droop within seconds of holding it up. Not only is it bigger but it's longer, so that weight works against it. It's designed to never leave its case while an iPad can be comfortably used outside of it, even the 13" version. One thing I do hate is the Samsung keyboard. The keys are beyond stiff and lose half my keystrokes. You have to physically pound the keys to make them register. I've had keyboards for the S7+, the S8 Ultra, and the S9 Ultra and all of them have very, very stiff keys. I'd suggest going third party for a keyboard because to me, those keyboards are unusable. I do love my Galaxy Tabs. The only thing I wish Samsung would do is to put a brighter screen on them. 400 nits is just too dim. One thing to note is that Samsung changed up the keyboard from the S8 Ultra to the S9 Ultra, so the S8's keyboard lasted a whole one year. At least Apple's keyboards will support years worth of tablets.

Watching this on my Samsung S9, don't regret it one bit!

[@TheEverydayDad]

Its such a great tablet.

@@KevinTspirit The last tablet I owned was from 2011 so I think it was time for an upgrade.

Watching on M4 pro blows away that piece of shit.

@@markoquendo675 The Samsung s9 has a calculator. Does the iPad have one? Lmao

[@bilalarar1571]

Like you said let’s get real. The keyboard without a trackpad in my opinion is useless. And the weight is a trade off for quality, durability, and aesthetically. I think the Magic Keyboard is a win. Also the display on the iPad you only mentioned the name gets longer every year but you didn’t mention it also gets much much better every year going with that longer name. 1000 knits SDR on an oled is simply superior in every way. It’s probably the best display ever on any device. So I’ll take a longer name.

Trust me guys the tab s9 is superior and more fun to use. One of the best I've owned . It comes w s pen in box , is water proof, can do higher level emulation , no limitations, better multi tasking , has micro SD card, has open operating system etc. Also apple got that apple pencil idea from Samsung

[@sweedishpie360]

I use my tab s9 for emulator gaming and streaming my pc at home. So to me and ipad would be useless.

[@user-jk4pp7hm9t]

The ipad screens are built by samsung.......

[@miguelbravo1931]

never is mention that apple devices have been using samsung parts and software since 2007, without samsung there wouldn't be apple

[@hannes6114]

Funny you compare a 500 euro tablet with a 1000 one

[@anamveersingh531]

Test both tabs Warzone mobile lags in s9 ultra ipad m4 runs without lag so ipad wins

[@matthewgaines10]

I’m keep that in mind if I have something other than productivity in mind in general and Warzone in particular.

[@Davidplays2016]

Apple all the way men!

Oh to look like u at 40 seems hopeful
