Switching to Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra From iPad Pro - The Best Tablet?

[@smartphonefan5226]

I really hope Google continues to push developers to bring and optimize their apps for Android tablets because we are basically at the point where the Galaxy Tab is a serious competitor to the iPad.

[@ellisz5972]

It certainly has the advantage in the OS compared to iPadOS. (The M2 is a great SOC, but iPadOS really holds it back.)

[@smartphonefan5226]

Your reviews are a breath of fresh air in tech world... it's so much more informative to know about day to day experiences of using a device from a college student rather than a professional reviewer. One thing which I would like for videos to mention is that S pen does not need to be charged to be used. My brother and I have tablets from S7 series and we both have turned Air Actions off and only use the pen slot on the side of our covers for storage. You never need to charge it to use it as a stylus while same cannot be said about Apple Pencil.

[@jmcminn1076]

It’s worth mentioning that the s8 ultra is still a thing. I have been using that for work (outlook, slack, zoom) with a dock, keyboard, mouse, and display and it pretty much does everything the tab s9 does, and is just as awesome. If you can live without the slightly faster cpu, and with a flat 120hz display instead of adaptive refresh, you can probably save a few hundred dollars on the previous model.

[@jmcminn1076]

I’d add… I naively went out and bought a 1TB M1 iPad Pro with 16gb of ram when apple launched that, because I had this somewhat reasonable expectation that putting that kind of power in the iPad meant that apple was planning to update iPad OS to make use of that power. Three years later and iPadOS limitations means that pretty much, except for synthetic benchmarks, you can’t even really stress the A12x from the previous iPad Pro. The iPad hardware will trounce these snapdragon SOCs in synthetics, but my Tab S8 Ultra is so much more functional than the iPad Pro is due to android/dex maximizing the potential while iPadOS gets in the way.

I already wanted to upgrade my s22 ultra to the 23 so I traded both in and got the s9 ultra for an additional 4 dollars because of the bundle discount. Got additional accessories like the buds and watches sold them and made roughly 80 bucks for selling both galaxy buds and both watches. So I upgraded from s8 ultra 256gb and s22 ultra 256gb to s9 ultra 512gb and s23 ultra 512gb and profited $80. Amazing trade in deal.

I honestly feel Android has the potential to be the ONLY computing solution for most users. Google really needs to push developers to come up with Android apps that are feature rich and optimised for all screen form factors. There are many proprietary Windows only softwares and their developers must be encouraged to come up with Android apps that work well on tablets.

That being said, google can only go so far with that when most consumers don't realize that there's a difference between Samsung One UI vs. Android. App developers can optimize as much as want, working perfectly on a Pixel Tablet, but work poory on Samsung, Amazon, and LG tablets. For some reason, every manufacturer has the need to have their own OS. Sure Samsung One OS is based off android but it's actually very different that that of pure android that you'd see on the Pixel phones and tablets.

[@Palamecia]

@@footballfunnyashell as an ipad fan, I'm calling shenanigans. A lot of features the ipad had/has, is either already been done by android/windows phones/tablets at some point. Apple generally just takes those ideas and later releases them in "the apple" way. Dynamic Island for instance was done by LG about a decade ago. It took apple until the iphone 12 for their camera system to catch up to the Pixel 3. Night Sight was android first.

As far as Photoshop/Photo Editing goes, one of the GREATEST features of my Tab S8 Ultra that no one talks about is the 'Second Screen' feature. SuperDisplay a $10 app works really great. The Tab S8 Ultra has basically replaced my Wacom Cintiq as my main Photoshop editing device. It's higher resolution, wireless, lighter, portable, and the S-Pen might be even better... Samsung's built-in 'Second Screen' works OK, but it used to work much better than it does now, I don't know what happened, but hopefully they will update it to work as good as SuperDisplay does. Plus, your files stay resident on your workstation and you don't have to copy files back and forth. I find that SuperDisplay works exactly the same wired or over WiFi. If there's a difference, I don't see any. As I mentioned, it's SO much better than Samsung's Second Screen. It's pretty crazy to me that Samsung definitely knows how much of a superior product SuperDisplay is and they could easily license the technology (like they do Wacom's EMR) or even purchase the company without even batting an eye, instead they ship a vastly inferior piece of software... Plus, the device is awesome all on its own... Literally blown away by how great it is! The S-Pen is fantastic and FREE in the box. You don't need to add a paper-like screen protector ($40) in addition to the $130 you'll pay extra for the Apple Pencil... I'm a 30+ year Professional Graphic Artist. When some say that there aren't Professional Visual Arts apps on android it's just really incorrect, because I use them everyday. Autodesk Sketchbook, Infinite Painter, Concepts, Krita are just a few of the apps available on the Google Play store... There are many more... Are there a few apps available on iPad that aren't on the Play store? Yes, of course, but a good carpenter never blames his tools, and with expertise and talent you can do anything and everything on android apps that you can do on iOS apps - NO DOUBT. If you're already entrenched in the Apple 'eco-system'... Then pay the extra $500 to $1500... Unfortunately, Samsung's trade-in's aren't great this year... Two years ago I got the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD Tab S7 Plus in Mystic Navy it was $356 from Samsung with a Tab S4 Trade-In I got off ebay for $175, they gave me $400 trade-in credit, so my total cost from Samsung for the Tab S7 Plus was $531. I had zero intention of upgrading. Samsung then offered me more than I paid for the S7+ in trade, for a 16GB/512GB Ultra. They also gave me $200 credit towards accesories. It was kinda of a no-brainer, plus the 4-year OS updates and 5-years of security updates for $517.59. I absolutely love the Ultra, and have no intention of upgrading, especially since Samsung will only give me $650 for the trade-in of my Ultra and the total cost will be $750 for the 16GB/1TB version... Maybe next time, Sammy...

Very good comparison! 👏👏 I’ve switched this week from a M1 ipad pro 12’9”, to the Samsung Galaxy tab s9 ultra, and I think that Samsung is overtaken apple in versatility, hardware and design. For me, the best advantage of the samsung tablet, apart of all you told in your video, is the possibility to use several stylus from different brands. I’m currently using the official Lamy Al-Star Stylus, and it’s amazing. Apart you have more options: the mini stylus from the s23 ultra, any stylus from a wacom tablet, or staedtler stylus. I’m professional illustrator, and the size and screen quality it’s another advantage. I’m using Clip Studio Paint, and in my iPad pro I haven’t enough room for all windows. On the samsung tablet, the 16:9 format, allows to accomodate in both sides all the tools I need, and I have more canvas visibility than iPad. It’s amazing. Apart of the operating system, android it’s more versatile in file management, more like a standard operating system, you can move folders, files, all… without restrictions… iPad OS it’s a headcache sometimes with its limitations, I’m more comfortable in android in this sense, I prefer android, it makes my work easier.

[@ZxAMobile]

You are absolutely nuts to switch to such a horrible device, but if you are a professional illustrator and you need super specific use cases, then the tab S9 ultra would be the only solution you have not a good solution like Apple would be able to afford, but the only usable one. You are saying they overtook them in versatility hardware and design - this is absolutely false. iPad Pro hardware is light years ahead of Samsung in terms of tablets, not an argument. Sure the Samsung has a better screen, but videos look better on my iPad Pro anyways (more optimized, my iPad Pro KZbin video looks better than my s7+), so that point is kind of irrelevant, then you can say oh well that nicer screen would atleast look good/better in gaming, which is also irrelevant, because gaming on a Samsung tablet is absolutely unacceptable. And a complete disgrace to the Samsung legacy/android legacy. Sure you can play games like candy crush, and other silly little games like that perfectly fine on the S9 ultra but that’s about it. Any AAA game will be completely unplayable not optimized and a horrible experience if you like playing 60% as good as your potential and getting held back by lack of optimization, at like 480p resolution. Sure they might win and versatility, but I disagree on that point as well, because Samsung might be more versatile for very few people like you who have very specific use cases, but overall the iPad Pro is much more versatile, because it can do MORE (play games/not crash 24/7/not be buggy constantly/better app experience) With the 14.6 inch screen I think the design is better than the iPad for sure so I will give you that but that’s about it. What you said sounds correct 100% on paper, but somebody who has used all of these devices at the same time, extensively, for 16 hours a day every day for years, I will say that you’re wrong, but this is coming from an expert on the topic. For you, you made the best decision but for 99% of people they would be way way way way way better off with an iPad Pro, iPad Pro is better in 99% of situations.

[@jonathanmordekovich9258]

​@@ZxAMobileFor a self-proclaimed "expert in the topic," you sure sound like you're spewing a bunch of nonsense. You can't say the Samsung tab has a better display, then refute that with your opinion that the iPad looks better. That's not how things work. Gaming performance should be better on the tab s9 ultra than the s23 ultra so it should be more than capable in gaming performance. I imagine emulators would be incredible on a device like this. You again give the Samsung tab the win in versatility, but refute it with your opinion. Android is, by default, more versatile than any apple os. You can do what you want, how you want, without the os stopping you every time you want to do it. IPads can barely do more than an iPhone, and that isn't saying much at all. Android has many ways to share files between any device (not just air drop to other Apple devices), there's a normal file system that can be accessed by a pc with a usb c cable, you can download apps that aren't on the play store, you can customize and modify just about any aspect of the os to fit your needs, and the list goes on. I think you're confused, because people buy an ipad for very specific use cases, not the other way around. You buy an android tab if you want versatility and options.

I have family members who have had iPads for over a decade and all of them have replaced their iPads only once. And it's for the same reason: old software doesn't support new apps. So, clearly your 2 iPads are an exception to the rule or you didn't take care of them OR you bought them refurbished.

It's wild that you need to buy the apple pencil separately for the iPad Pro 256GB. Like you are purchasing "premium" tablet and you don't even get a stylus with it. Samsung comes with the Pen, a Keyboard Case and even Galaxy Buds for that their tablet. Talk about a complete experience. L Apple really

[@Hashbrown1816]

Where did you see the s9 ultra coming with galaxy buds and the keyboard folio? I’ve been shopping around for the s9 ultra and Samsung offers discounts for the Galaxy buds or a keyboard folio if you buy the tab but you still have to buy them separately. Where did you see them sold as a package? I’d be super interested!

This new Tab is good for competition! The Ipad Pro was in a class of its own for the last few years, but with this new contender, Apple might have to reevaluate the market. Let's see what happens next...

[@Busy_Learnin]

As an apple fan, this galaxy tablet left the iPad a mile away. However, the reason why I think apple won’t push the iPad like that, it’s bc of the Macs. If the iPad it’s too close to the Macs, people would just get an iPad and forget about the Mac lineup. MacBook Air wouldn’t sell as much.

I've used the ipad air 2 released in 2014 and currently watching this on my tab s6 which is still a fantastic tablet. From my experience I do have to say apples build quality is top notch and the ipad shows much less signs of aging. My mum continues to use my old ipad air and it's still very Smooth to use. Samsung tablets are more flashy and definitely do feel more futuristic but I do think longevity of android tablets are what makes them "worse" in a sense than ipads.

[@katsuki116]

Same here! We have been using our iPads for nearly 9 years since 2014 and they are still working very well. My samsung Note 2 and Note 3 died in two years. Even my LG cell phone works better than Note 3. btw, the host looks like and smiles like Yuna Kim. 😊

[@abhinavsehgal3713]

A lot depends upon what work you have with the device and how do you use it. A tablet isnt made for doing too many heavy tasks, so longevity is no question, because until u are just watching videos, making notes, watching ppts.. everything will be fine( even after 10+ years)

Thank you so much for this video. It's getting close to the holiday season and I was thinking of treating myself with an iPad Pro, but after watching your review I'm back to thinking about Samsung tablets. I only wanted the Pro because I have so many friends that use the Mac systems and I have a podcast and sharing work to get reviewed is hard between my Galaxy and HP laptop and their Macs and iPhones. Now I'm just stuck again but happy to see that Samsung is an option.

[@framelessfilms]

I had one of the early Samsung Tab super tablets. What was shocking was how briefly its OS was supported and updated. There was a total of one update: and all that update did was to stop you from being able to use non-Samsung bluetooth keyboards. This was especially annoying to me because I could have still used it for displaying music chord charts with a bluetooth page turner even after it was too out of date to use for anything else. Do I really want to spend this much money to buy into a platform that will only be updated for a short amount of time?

[@benjamina6915]

Great review, very thorough. I've always preferred Samsung, though for work I'm stuck with the iPad Pro. Prices here are much different, Samsung is a couple of 100 dollars less expensive than the similar iPad Pro. Unfortunately out of my reach for now, also knowing that the Lenovo Tab Extreme is a more affordable option. It's underrated, but very similar to the Tab Ultra. As for speed, that's all relative. I've got the iPad Pro with M1 and while on paper it's very powerful, in day to day use it's not noticeable faster than my Lenovo P11+ with half the ram and a much slower processing unit. I actually prefer my P11+ because it's snappy in use and lighter and it has a similar pen to the Samsung S Pen.

[@h1a8]

Excellent review and comparison. The best I've seen. I subscribed. One thing, if someone needs to do serious video editing or some very intense task (that taxes cpu and takes awhile to complete) then they should used a capable laptop/desktop. Tablets are a poor choice for those type of tasks. So the edge that the IPad pro has in speed is not only unnoticeable in all other tasks but the tab s9 ultra is actually slightly faster/smoother in some. Just got my tab s9 ultra 2 days ago. I like it better than my iPad pro 12.9 6th gen (latest version). 1. It has system graphic equalizer (I have very expensive headphones). 2. Screen real-estate is larger for multitasking and movies. 3. Writing with spen feels a lot better. Love the button to erase. Samsung notes is excellent. 4. Fingerprint/pattern options For ipad pro 1. Speakers sound slightly better (richer bass but not necessarily louder than tab s9 ultra). 2. Portrait mode is great for reading textbooks. But both are excellent (if you can afford them). Hopefully apply puts the front facing camera in the right place on the upcoming ipad pros.

I think most iPad users are iPhone users as well. One of the main reasons why I use iPad Pro is because I want to stay within the apple ecosystem. It just makes things very easy for me (aside from the fact that I never had an issue with using iPad Pro as my laptop). But my sister is in the samsung ecosystem and I can say that samsung is really awesome and powerful. So I guess it really depends.

It seems like a great tablet. But for my purposes, the iPad Pro is still the best for music creation and production. The majority of music creation apps are mainly created for Apple iOS. But this seems like a great tablet if you’re not using it for music creation.

Looks like this one is a serious contender - thanks for the insightful and practical review.

Samsung has worse battery and less powerful chipset 😂😂, plus it's very optimised like iPads

[@michaeldendulk2230]

Have seen quite a few complaints regarding the M2 Ipad on those points. Strangely enough the M1 version does far better. Maybe a question of heat, as the M2 is pretty much an overclocked M1. They probably should have skipped it and waited for TSCM's 3nm, but money... There's a reason Apple is apparently sitting on a huge pile of surplus M2 chips. Might be time to put an end to the annual release cycle, at least for tablets, it's becoming unneeded.

After owning a Tab S8+ for the last 4 months coming from using an iPad pro for years prior, I can say Samsung has a great tablet here for most people. For me though personally my biggest gripe as someone who uses a tablet as my on the go computer, it lacks optimized apps and app selection is poor, especially for any creative work, photo or video editing, or even music production I find the ipad is still ahead. I can run my entire KZbin production workflow on an iPad versus on Android It's almost impossible to. Also not having photoshop where I can create layered and complex thumbnails is a bummer because Photoshop Express and other apps on an android tablet are atrociously bad. Also, now, with final Cut Pro on an ipad and Logic Pro I'm looking to switch back. Yes you have lumina fusion, but it has a 3.6 on the app store and horrible reviews of major bugs and artifacting.

[@JHSaxa]

Worth mentioning is that the Second Screen function turns the S Tab into a graphics tablet for your Windows PC, which means you can use the S Tab's low latency S Pen input and OLEI display on full blown programs. The SuperDisplay app optimizes the built in Second Screen even further.

[@SUPER_xNOOBx]

I can't leave iPad behind until Procreate can come with me.

[@DavidWilson-lo9qn]

I have looked at and used this Samsung Tablet and it’s a beautiful device. From a hardware perspective, the Samsung beats the iPad Pro. However, the problem is its software. It lacks the professional apps that can be found on the iPad. For content consumption alone it’s a great device but costly. Also, a 14 inch screen is not practical to hold for extend periods of time. It’s better to use as a PC replacement. I am not on Apples side but I find the 11inch iPad Pro the best balance between size and practical use. Anything bigger, in my opinion, is too heavy and impractical to use as a tablet. I use my iPad Pro both as a tablet and a portable PC when paired to a keyboard and mouse for editing documents and note taking when out and about. Still use my MacBook for heavy work. A tablet can never truly replace the demanding tasks that a computer is designed for.

[@hnskinner]

I think the tech seems solid, but I still struggle with the lackluster app support for Android tablets. I only moved to Apple in 2020 for my tablet and phone. It was a great breath of fresh air after struggling with a variety of Android products over the previous decade, I was anti-apple for so long. The better app support on Apple products and the longer-term support (android products lose their update support quicker). There is something to be said for almost everything being able to be done from a web browser these days, but I don't think that's a reason to purchase a 1k+ tablet. That's a reason to purchase the cheapest large-screen kindle fire.

[@Artemis_Jackdaw]

A lot of these people tries to persuade others that Samsung is better, but in my experience with both, I’m still stuck with iPhone, not because I want to, but because Apple products are just a lot better and more fluid. Don’t even get me started with these M chips, they are just a lot faster and more fluid than most Samsung products.

For me Ipad is going to be a gaming device i frequently use. With AAA titles being ported I only see a future with more and more AAA games coming to the IPad. Samsung is great but i feel like it is more suited for people needing a device for media or a very specific work flow. Ipad pro covers a wider range of workflow with better quality and now is even more so an all in one device with the introduction of console quality gaming at the end of the month.
