Knowing Apple and the lineup in particular, this will be yet another superb productivity device with tons of useful features, premium hardware, and tons of useful accessories.  Certainly, we&#39;ve never been closer to a viable laptop alternative than the upcoming 12.9-inch iPad <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/pro\/\"   title=\"Pro\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Pro<\/a> with a 3nm chipset and OLED display.<\/p>\n<div>But what about the slightly smaller but equally featured iPad Pro, which may strike the best balance between size and internal hardware?  And more importantly, how will he behave in the face of <span><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/galaxy\/\"   title=\"Samsung\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Samsung<\/a> <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span><\/span>a pretty decent Android tablet that&#39;s essentially the best alternative to Apple&#39;s slates?<\/div>\n<p>Let&#39;s untangle the differences and see how these two tablets will perform. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">iPad Pro 11-inch (7th generation) vs. <span>Samsung <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span><\/span>    expectations:<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apple M3 3nm chipset vs. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2<\/li>\n<li>8 GB of RAM on both<\/li>\n<li>11-inch OLED displays on both (11.1-inch on iPad Pro)<\/li>\n<li>MagSafe charging possible on the iPad versus none on the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span><\/li>\n<li>20W versus 45W wired charging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Contents:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"design\" class=\"anchor\">Design and size<\/span><\/h2>\n<h5>High-end tablets<\/h5>\n<p>No major changes are expected on the 11-inch iPad Pro.  Of course, it is widely believed that the tablet&#39;s display will get a slight increase, from 11 inches to 11.1.  This is by no means a major increase and should not force Apple to significantly change the design of the tablet.  This increase is said to be due to some shrinking of the bezel, which could come from Apple&#39;s anticipated move to OLED displays on its high-end tablets.  The latest iPads feature miniLED displays, which are excellent, but still lack the exceptional color rendition of OLEDs. <\/p>\n<div>Other than that, the iPad Pro will remain a mostly rectangular 3:2 tablet with an aluminum design.  Leaks suggest there could be MagSafe charging on board, which would require the use of a MagSafe cutout.<\/div>\n<div>Meanwhile, the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> is a very light and compact tablet made entirely of aluminum, mainly rectangular, with an 11-inch OLED screen on the front.  It&#39;s IP68 rated, so pretty well protected against the elements.  Compared to Samsung&#39;s previous flagship tablet, the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> comes with a single <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/camera\/\"   title=\"camera\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">camera<\/a>, which streamlines the design.<\/div>\n<p><h2><span id=\"display\" class=\"anchor\">Display differences<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;big&#8221; intergenerational change results in a slight 0.1-inch size increase for the 7th generation iPad Pro, which isn&#39;t major at all and certainly wouldn&#39;t change the experience too much.  What could be a much more <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/exciting\/\"   title=\"exciting\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">exciting<\/a> change is the anticipated move from miniLED to OLED, a first for the iPad line.  MiniLED displays are by no means inferior, but they will have to give way to OLED displays. <\/p>\n<p>This change would bring the 7th generation iPad Pro into compliance with the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span>, which comes with an 11-inch OLED display, an improvement over the LCD screens on Samsung&#39;s previous small flagship slates.  In terms of size, you need to understand that you will get more screen real estate with the iPad because it uses a 3:2 aspect ratio, while the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> is a tablet with a 16:10 screen more suitable for movies and other media. <\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"performance\" class=\"anchor\">Performance and software<\/span><\/h2>\n<h5>The power of 3nm<\/h5>\n<p>The 7th generation iPad Pro will come with the 3nm Apple M3 chip, Apple&#39;s latest desktop chipset that delivers exceptional performance.  It would surely be in a league of its own in the tablet space, dominated by mobile chipsets.  This is the case of <span>Samsung <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span><\/span>which is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, an SoC aimed at mobiles. <\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, we expect the M3 chip to dominate the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in terms of raw performance and benchmarks.  However, you&#39;ll probably be hard-pressed to notice a clear difference between the two: either one will be as fast as possible and will surely not disappoint you, whether for casual daily tasks or intensive gaming. <\/p>\n<div>There will likely be 8GB of RAM on the iPad Pro, while the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> also relies on 8 GB of memory.  There is 128GB of storage available on the Samsung device, and we expect the same to be true for the entry-level 7th generation 11-inch iPad Pro. <\/div>\n<p>Software-wise, the next iPad Pro will likely arrive with iPadOS 17 or iPadOS 18, depending on Apple&#39;s release date.  THE <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span>, on the other hand, comes with Samsung&#39;s One UI.  The iPad will be supported for longer, both because it will be released later and it will have at least five years of support. <\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"camera\" class=\"anchor\">Camera<\/span><\/h2>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<p>While the iPad Pro likely won&#39;t move away from a dual-camera setup on the back, the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> comes with a single rear camera.  Besides dual cameras, the iPad will likely also include a LiDAR sensor like its predecessors, which allows for more advanced spatial awareness. <\/p>\n<p>Up front, both tablets use 12MP cameras, which should be enough for <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/video\/\"   title=\"video\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">video<\/a> calls and casual selfies. <\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"audio\" class=\"anchor\">Audio and haptic quality<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We expect the iPad to continue to use the quad-speaker setup that has become synonymous with the iPad Pro line.  These should look great.  But in all honesty, the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span>although we&#39;re not counting on it to beat the iPad in terms of audio quality.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of haptic feedback, the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> is pretty disappointing with a mushy vibrator on deck, so it wouldn&#39;t take much for the upcoming iPad Pro to come out on top. <\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"battery\" class=\"anchor\">Battery life and charging<\/span><\/h2>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<p>THE <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> comes with a built-in 8,400 mAh battery, which offers exceptional battery life in concert with the integrated Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.<\/p>\n<div>Although the iPad&#39;s battery size is among the latest information to leak, we expect a battery of at least 7,528 mAh, which is what the previous iPad had in store and which lasted a long time. <\/div>\n<p>The iPad Pro will likely come with a 20W charger in the box like its predecessor, while the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> comes with 45W fast charging, but no charger in the box. <\/p>\n<p>A new feature for the iPad line is the supposed MagSafe wireless charging coming to the iPad Pro, if the rumor is to be believed.  We could see a magnetic connector like the one on the MacBook, although a circular MagSafe port on the back could be a possibility.  However, this would not work well with the metal back. <\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"specs\" class=\"anchor\">Specification Comparison<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>\n<div class=\"overflow-auto nolinks\">\n<table class=\"tb-plugin tb-plugin-fullWidth\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th\/>\n<th>iPad Pro 11-inch (7th generation)<\/th>\n<th>SamsungGalaxy Tab S9<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Size weight<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"\/>\n<td class=\"\">254.3 x 165.8 x 5.9mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Screen<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">11.1-inch OLED screen<br \/>120 Hz promotion<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">11&#8243; OLED screen<br \/>120Hz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 39px;\">\n<td class=\"\">Processor<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Apple M3<br \/>3nm<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2<br \/>4nm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">RAM, storage<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">8\/128 GB<\/p>\n<p>LPDDR5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">8\/128 GB<\/p>\n<p>LPDDR5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Cameras<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">12MP wide<br \/>10MP ultra-wide<\/p>\n<p>12MP front<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">13MP wide<\/p>\n<p>12MP front<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Battery<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">8,400mAh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">Loading<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">USB-C<br \/>20W wired<br \/>MagSafe<\/td>\n<td class=\"\">USB-C<br \/>45W wired<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"summary\" class=\"anchor\">Summary<\/span><\/h2>\n<div>Both devices will serve as the flagship compact tablets of their respective ecosystem and will surely be the best tablets you could consider getting for the better part of 2024.<\/div>\n<p>Which one you choose will likely depend on your ecosystem of choice, as the most significant differences between the iPad and the <span>Galaxy Tab S9<\/span> will ultimately be differences in software and interface. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iPad Pro 11-inch (7th Gen) vs Samsung Galaxy Tab S9: Main differences to expect\u060c Introduction Apple is widely expected to refresh its entire iPad lineup, from the entry-level iPad mini to the larger-than-life iPad Pro.
