As an artist, coming from an iPad Pro user to a Tab S9 Ultra, the drawing experience is amazing. The screen is gorgeous and you have so much space to fit all of the tool palettes and still have a big space for your canvas. Also have so many pen options! Im glad i made the switch.

The 11" iPad is in fact NOT 4:3 in aspect ratio. Only the 12.9 or 13 inch version is. The 11" is 10:7 which started in 2018. The current iPad mini (2021) is 3:2. All iPads used to have 4:3 back in the days, but atm there are at least 3 different aspect ratios in the lineup.

[@luxel3365]

Yep. 4:3 is like 1.333, but The very M4 11 inch shown here is actually like 1.452. So it's thinner than the 4:3 of the original iPad. For reference, the S9, S9+ and Ultra all have 16:10, so 1.6.

[@sweealamak628]

It's iPad for me because of the aspect ratio. It mimics an A4 size sheet of paper which is the most readable format to human central vision. Anything wider than 4:3 for a handheld tablet spills over into our peripheral vision... yes there is biological science and math behind Apple's design decisions.

Samsung is amazing actually. I remember when Dex was first announced, I immediately said I'm never going to use that. Now, I use it everyday. When I was overseas for 8 months and working from a hotel with terrible internet service, I used my phone data and the apps on my phone to work through my PC. It was a lifesaver. At home now, I'm still using Dex every single day. Samsung has some features that make it so that I can't even use a different Android device. It has to be Samsung at this point.

[@teohontech7141]

Yeah, Dex is so good that it makes Stage Manager look bad, pretty looking but not as useful.

[@KuttyJoe]

@@teohontech7141 The beauty of Dex to me is when using it with a separate monitor. I actually ran my business with Dex for about a month when I went overseas. The internet at the hotel was terrible so I was using my unlimited phone data. I had Dex running through my laptop. I did the work on my laptop, then sent the files using my the email client on my phone, and using my phone's data. Before that happened, I thought I would never use Dex. Even now, I still use it sometimes when my home internet is not working. On a separate monitor, it's not super smooth but it is really powerful anyway.

[@madmozg]

Great review! Thanks for telling about PWM its very important for sensitive people.

[@JordanVR]

I'm happy to see pwm being recognized but do want to add that temporal dithering/FRC seems to be another huge eye discomfort trigger. It's pixel level flickering, can only check with a microscope and fast camera in slomo

[@JordanVR]

Also pwm can be acceptable if the frequency is high enough. Sadly new displays using "DC dimming" are using a software DC like dimming which causes strain too btw.

[@renichii621]

hello, thank you for the video! but i'm sorry i'm still cannot decide which ipad do you think i ishould buy. i never buy apple's product before so it will be new for me. i'm an artist, mostly draw anime/manga style and probably will learn animation too. i want to buy ipad because i'm interested using procreate. i mostly draw/work at home, even if i buy an ipad i will only use it at home. i just like its mobility to allow me drawing anywhere instead of sitting for hours in front of my laptop and wacom. i dont have any budget for now, but i want to buy an ipad that will be able to use for a very very long time. do you have any recommendation? thank you! >

[@teohontech7141]

I don't think you'll go wrong with either. If you want to use Procreate, then it's gonna be iPad. Decide based on the software you want to use. Both tablets can last for years until they physically break down.

[@bluedogbluey6742]

Hi Teoh, if I may, could I ask for your opinion on if someone who has not used tablets for art before but wants to start, between the ipad pro or even the air I guess and the Samsung s9. Which of those would be easier to use for art. They both seem to have pros and cons to me. thank you.

[@teohontech7141]

iPad Air is more worth the money than Pro because of the lower price point. But do compare prices with M2 iPad Air and refurbished M2 iPad Pro (if available). Between iPad and Samsung, drawing performance to me is on par. iPad advantage is there are more graphic design apps that handle vector, layout and typography. Otherwise between iPad and Samsung, you can choose based on features you like and pricing.

I tried out both the iPad and the Tab S9 series in person. Previously, I used a drawing tablet. Unfortunately, the Tab S9 series doesn’t detect very subtle brush strokes; you have to press the pen tip firmly on the screen to draw.

[@teohontech7141]

[@teohontech7141]

Wacom has better sensitivity for pressure across the whole range. Pen point is sharper and easier to see the line. But Apple Pencil Pro is pretty good too, as shown by the many professional who use only iPad to create art

Hey there! I have a question, for uni. and watching movie-shows yt etc. Which one should i buy; ipad air m2 11" or ipad pro m2 11" (all of them with pencil tho) ? In my country the ipad pro m2 11" is 5k more than new ipad air so which one is better for long term? New ipad is 2 years younger and it will be get more updated that's the two reason im stuck with it: m2 pro price and update stuff... 🤷🏻‍♀️ and also is it big enough 11"? I want to buy the 13" but the price diff is literally 10k its so much tho. I would like to state that the iPad I bought can be updated for at least 6-7 years and that I want to use it for a very long time without lag or other problems.

iPad is way better for drawing Samsung is and always will be laggy at some point after a year or two. Android products have no value for trade in. Eventually it would cost you more as you upgraded in the future.

[@Leif_YT]

I guess my next one will be a Samsung. I've used iPads for a while but the Apple Pencil is pretty fragile (I'm on my third), the file system and sharing on iOS is super annoying & restricting and I don't like it that I can't backup the iPad to a different cloud storage provider / NAS. I also prefer the aspect ratio of the iPad, but that's probably the only thing at the moment.

[@teohontech7141]

The big problem with Android backup is not everything is backed up UNLESS you check. iPad can backup to computer, just not to NAS.

[@Leif_YT]

@@teohontech7141 last time I had to restore an iPad backup my pro create files were missing. Backing up to a computer can be very annoying on iPad because can't do it wireless and automated. I wish we could have apps like on Android where selected folders get automatically backed up to a network share , but I think iOS doesn't allow such apps because of it's very restricted file system. At least I couldn't find any that would do it. An annoying part of automated iOS iCloud backups is also that we can't access them through a browser or so. We can restore it in to amother device, but not access the backup to restore a file from it. You also can't do a partial restore. Like if you delete / reinstall an app the iCloud backup won't give you the data for just that app back in many cases. Then you can only do a full restore which you might not want. It's sadly super limited what iCloud backup offers in functionality / accessibility compared to some other solutions.

[@teohontech7141]

My guess as to why your file is missing is because that file wasn't backed up in the first place. Wireless backup to a computer will be painfully slow. And Apple devices don't have the best wireless connection so there is high chance of wireless backup having problems. I mean I already have frequent problems sending video files wirelessly to my Mac. iCloud backup is a system backup and not a files+folder backup. That's why there is no access to individual files and folders online. I use iCloud together with Microsoft OneDrive for access to files+folders.

[@cinemacrawl1234]

Should I buy the Tablet S9 or wait for the S10? Please help

[@teohontech7141]

I don’t think S10 is gonna be fundamentally different than S9. So it’s okay to get S9. Price should be good now after so many months since release

[@mi___]

wait for s10, then buy the s9 because the price would drop

[@dockbc]

I don't like the boxy look of the ipad. The Ultra has much more space to work with being 16:9. I draw in landscape, so the Ultra is so much better than the boxy ipad. The bezels on the Ultra are much smaller than the thick ipad bezels. I don't like anti reflective coating on electronics, it down grades color quality. Apple needs to redesign the ice pick pencil, S Pen is a pleasure to draw with. Both tablets are nice but I would buy the Ultra over the ipad.

[@teohontech7141]

Ultra is physically bigger which is why 16:9 is still usable. S9+ is not as usable even though it is 16:9 especially in vertical orientation. Because some apps have fixed size UI that will take up more space on a smaller display

[@HipposHateWater]

Agreed in the context of using it as a dedicated landscape mode device. That said, 4:3 plays better if you want a device that's more orientation agnostic. (iPad lineup, Surface Pro, etc) It's a "pick your poison" sort of thing for sure. (For example I'm happy with my 12.9" iPad as it is in ProCreate, but not in CSP. I'd definitely prefer the additional 2ish inches of horizontal screen real estate with the Ultras just to accommodate CSP's infamous UI clutter if I was using it purely as a desktop CSP drawing tablet.)

[@D10NIELCD]

[@teohontech7141]

[@victoryart19]

Tab s9 sounds more natural and ipad pro m4 sounds more fun. Also since tab s9 is longer in landscape so the speakers are more far apart to give a better sense of direction.

[@KuttyJoe]

On Android, there are more options for backup because you can just get a back up software from the google store and use it to back up precisely the things you want to back up rather than backing up the entire tablet. I use DriveSync which can back up to my cloud storage of choice. I back up to Google Drive specific folders on my tablet, not the whole tablet which is pointless. It backs up my phone and tablet to Google Drive, which is also synced to my PC. It's like a perfect solution. When I had an iPad Pro, it was terrible. Either you back up the entire tablet to iCloud, which I don't even have an account, or you buy a 3rd party back which has almost no access to the iOS system. This is still the worst thing about the iPad. iOS itself. File management is awful.

[@teohontech7141]

The thing about selective backup is you must know in advance where your files are saved. Some apps let you save to the cloud (great so no backup required), some save to the file folders, some save into the Android data folder (Infinite Painter).

I don't understand why Samsung won't make one of their Spen enabled tablet in the 4:3 aspect ratio. They have to know creatives are using and want to use Samsung products, it's not all about consumption.

I've been on a S8+ for two years and am now on a S9 ultra and its been great. Btw, don't get tablets with mandatory cords and the need to connect to a PC if you want to go around town doing art... it's far too cumbersome.

@@BaronBacon I'm seriously looking into the XP Pen Magic Drawing Pad, are you familiar with it? Teoh did a review of it.

@@ajwalker4416 Look up Brad Colbow's review on it. It's an average tablet, but you'd probably be better off saving up for something better like a FE edition of a samsung tab. imho

@@ajwalker4416 I actually prefer the XP pen magic drawing pad, better aspect ratio, better matte type of screen without having to apply a screen protector, replaceable pen nibs officially from their store and no bloat ware, mostly just essential apps on it

I'll be honest. Android has a better selection of drawing apps I mean, they have Krita, for corn's sake!

[@teohontech7141]

Krita is a great app, but it's more of a desktop app that needs a keyboard to be productive.

[@Jj82op]

For sure, it all depends on your own workflow. I will use my tab s6 lite mostly for simpler drawings or sketches (I haven't tried pushing the processing power yet) and I've noticed that I am able to do almost everything with just the pop-palette and favorite brushes. People always mention the UI but I guess they don't know that you can 4-finger tap the screen to hide/unhide it.

No.. sounds like a lot of that is unnecessary garbage, and more than half of that is on Samsung. Also, 13" inch is almost twice as much $$. You lose. Apple's been bad since first gen IMac.

god i love 4 by 3. so much less wasted space. widescreen is so dumb.

[@runeass]

I disagree. For pure consumption, 16 by 9 is 10 times better than 4 by 3. For normal work, it's 4 times better.

[@ldfjlas]

@@runeass the only reason to make a screen widescreen format is if you are watching movies. Nobody should be watching movies on a tablet. Pretty much nothing else is formatted like that. TikTok videos are formatted for framing people and people are vertical. Vertical format is far more practical than some antiquated movie screen format from over 100 years ago. I got a Wacom MOVINK and it is widescreen and almost unusable though they claim it’s 13 inches. The problem is the usable space is determined by the shortest width.

[@runeass]

@@ldfjlas yet, there are tons of ultra wide monitors out there. Ultra wide give you the benefit of multiple windows to multitask, for work I have 2 monitors and at home I have ultra wide monitors. I have both the 12.9 2018 iPad and tab s9 ultra. The s9, I can split the window by half and both is usable while the iPad I have to split 2/3 and 1/3, never half half was the right portion. I prefer grabbing the s9 more because it’s more versatile. it can multitask as a laptop in a pinch while the iPad try to reinvent what is already established and make you jump through hoop to do the same thing but I digress. I have a 70 in tv at home but since I’m alway mobile, so yes I watch movies KZbin and social media on the s9, I vastly enjoy the experience more than the iPad because of the 16 by 9. comparing to the 2 huge black bars on the iPad, yea talk about wasted space. Tho I have to agree, different ppl have different use case, I’m replying on a artist channel while I’m not one

[@teohontech7141]

@@runeass Those x times numbers are strangely precise.
