This is the ultimate tablet war. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE versus the iPad 11. Both bring a lot to the table, but only one can stand out on top. We are breaking everything down from its design, performance, gaming, and even the stylus experience.

Productivity, thickness and it also features

I’ll be scoring them in each category. And by the end of this video, you’ll exactly know which tablet is more ideal for you based on your priorities. My name is Prit Viraj, and I create videos on productivity, tech, and life. Let’s tart by discussing the design of the two tablets. Both the tablets boast a very premium design.

However, Samsung offers something extra and that is the IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. This makes it tougher for outdoor usage or accidental spills. We thankfully have a cellular variant for both the tablets. So, if you needed SIM card support, then both the tablets will have you covered. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE counters with a slightly slimmer profile at just 6 mm thickness and it also features an all aluminum design. The iPad 11 brings that classic all aluminium body with a thickness of 7 mm. Very Apple-like as usual.

The iPad 11 features the Touch ID on the power button, whereas we get both the fingerprint as well as face unlock on the Galaxy Tab S10 FE. Visually, both the tablets are aesthetically pleasing. So, design-wise, you can’t really go wrong. But the durability factor gives the S10 FE a clear HO. It makes it most suitable for rugged usage. But for this round, I’d like to give a point each to both of the tablets. As I previously mentioned, as per looks, both of them are amazing. But Samsung gets a slight edge because of the IP68 rating.

Display colour and refresh rate

Now, let’s talk about the most important aspect of any tablet, and that is the display. The iPad 11 features an 11in liquid retina LCD display with a resolution of 1640 by 2360 pixels, but sadly, it only comes in at a display refresh rate of 60 Hz, and that’s really disappointing to be very honest. It also comes at a peak brightness of 500 nits. And here’s the kicker. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE features a display refresh rate of 90 Hz. But for this round, I will have to give a point to the Galaxy Tab S10 F as the higher refresh rate will give you a much smoother experience.

Hence, the entire experience will feel much more smoother in comparison with the iPad. Scrolling will feel fluid with smoother animations. And it also has a peak brightness of 800 nits in its high brightness mode, which is a lot brighter than the iPad 11 in comparison.

Overall, if you wanted a tablet for media consumption and binge watching your favorite shows on Netflix and YouTube, they both will excel in that aspect. You won’t really be facing any issues for that. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE brings a slight smaller display, features a 10.9 in LCD display with a resolution of 1440x 2304 pixels.

Sound quality of both

Speaking of media consumption, you won’t have a great time binge watching experience without great audio. Right, let’s talk about that right now. The iPad 11 is equipped with stereo speakers offering decent loudness and clarity. Apple tuning typically provides a balanced sound with clear mids and highs, making it great for casual media consumption.

The Galaxy Tab S10 FE features a stereo speaker setup as well, thus delivering an immersive sound experience. While the iPad sound is good, Samsung offers a richer and a fuller audio output. It’s specifically noticeable when watching movies or gaming, and it’s also the louder among the two tablets. Not surprised as Samsung really nails its audio nicely. But now, the things are about to change. Hence, one point goes to the Galaxy S10 FE for the sound department.

Ram, storage and Performance test

Now, let’s get into the business end of the two tablets and let’s talk performance as this is where the things are going to change significantly. Under the hood, the iPad 11 is powered by the A16 Bionic chipset paired with 6 gigs of RAM. The Galaxy Dab S10 FE runs on Exynos 1580 chipset paired with 8 or 12 gigs of RAM depending on which variant you get. But in terms of raw performance, the iPad 11 simply outshines the Galaxy Dab S10 FE by mile. Here are the benchmarks on Geekbench in case you’re interested in that.

The A16 chipset on the iPad simply outclasses the Samsung tablet. And if you would like to edit videos on your tablet, then the iPad is of course the better option. It will handle that quite nicely. So, for this round, the iPad takes the point here based on its raw performance as it’s simply a beast in terms of that. Now, the software is a major battleground. The iPad 11 runs on iPad OS 18. whereas the Samsung tablet will definitely start to struggle when compared with the iPad. However, for editing photos, both the tablets will perform really well.

Apple’s iPad OS is optimized specifically for tablets, offering excellent multitasking features, a clean interface, and a long track record of software support over the years, and it simply feels much more polished. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE runs on a skinned version of Android 15, which is the 1 UI. Samsung’s 1 UI is extremely polished and tablet friendly with features like the Samsung desk mode which will convert your tablet into a desktop-l like interface.

The iPad 11 is supposed to receive a minimum of five major software upgrades, whereas Samsung claims a total of 7 years of software support. But this one stays a bit iffy, as in we don’t exactly know if it’s going to be 7 years of Android upgrades, or rather 4 years of Android upgrades followed by a few security patches.

Overall, for the software segment, I will have to give a point to the iPad for it richer and more optimized app ecosystem. Let’s get into the fun stuff now. But one of the biggest aspect in which the iPad OS almost performs better is in terms of the app support. Pro apps like Darini Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Procreate and others are only present on the iPad whereas all of them are missing on Android tablets like the Galaxy S10 FE.

Game play at max graphics settings

Gaming is where the iPad 11 flexes again. With the A16 chipset, you can comfortably run high-end games at high settings without major frame drops. The visuals are smooth and the game play is consistent. If gaming is important to you, this one is a beast. I tested out games like BGMI, Aspel, COD, and a few more. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE handles most casual games just fine. Games will run decently at medium settings, but it will of course start to struggle at max graphics settings.

However, one major advantage of the Galaxy S10 FE is that you will have a much smoother gameplay experience thanks to its 90 Hz display. The iPad 11 features a 12 MP rear camera as well as a 12P selfie camera. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE features a 13 MP rear camera and a 12 MP selfie camera.

But overall for the performance, the iPad 11 gets a point over here as the A16 in chipset is better at tackling high-end games and provides us with a better gaming experience.

The iPad Air M2 supports demanding games like Resident Evil Village, Bgmi and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the 720 p equivalent resolutions and limited native game. mean it cannot fully compete with equivalent-priced Windows gaming laptops.

We tested COD Warzone on high settings

This is also a very demanding game. Here, the preset was showing custom. The peak was our visual quality. In which all other settings are high. And we uncapped the FPS target.

There shouldn’t be any lag in FPS. And surprisingly, we were getting a 30-40 FPS experience. Because it’s a very powerful device. After playing for a long time, we didn’t get any drop. Then I reduced the settings high to the lowest. And after that we were getting stable 65 FPS. Sometimes, there was a drop. And when you play on such a big screen with low settings, It feels like you are playing a game on a 720 P screen. The playable FPS remains, but the visual quality drops. And this game is a bit unoptimized.

We tested Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Then we tested Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The graphics quality was showing by default medium. And we were getting stable 30 FPS. Just like console type of gaming which we get in PS4. It was a similar experience. But I can say that I didn’t like the resolution. It was giving a 720 P type of feeling. Because I have played this game on PC. It definitely looks great in it. But yes, I can say that the gaming performance of iPad Air M2 is good.

If you want to do color accuracy tasks like photo editing, video editing And color grading

It’s a 11 inches Liquid Retina Display. It’s a heavy word that Apple uses. By the way, the resolution is 2360×1640. It’s an IPS display. And the ratio is 3-2. And if you look at the content in multimedia, You get very big black bars. Because most of the content is 16:9. But when you play games, it is automatically optimized according to the resolution. And the refresh rate is 60 Hz. No matter how much you criticize, They say we won’t give you more. You will have to buy Pro Tablets for better refresh rate. Spend more money.

We tested the color gamut, it was 99 % S RGB, 73% Adobe RGB, 73% P3 and 68% NTSC. If you check Apple’s website, they have written P3 wide color gamut. But wide is like 100% P3. But in the testing, we got 76% P3. But the colors of the display are good. If you want to do color accuracy tasks like photo editing, video editing, it won’t disappoint you. We also tested the brightness. All time brightness is around 381 nits. It can touch up to 560 nits according to different content.

That you are watching on different multimedia platforms like if you are watching HDR content, The display brightness can be pushed. Display brightness is ok. It’s not too good. It’s not a problem, if you use it indoors. But it’s a problem, if you use it outdoors as it’s a reflective screen. And you will need a shed as it’s not usable in extreme sunlight. It also has anti-reflective coating as compared to any other normal tablet.

Reflections are different on it. You can see it in B-Roll. They are taking a lot of money for it. But it’s an anti-reflective display. How much will it be useful for people? Because when a person buys an expensive iPad, he will put a display on it. Lights are not visible on it as they are visible on a normal display. So it’s a problem if you use it outdoors. But it’s not as bad as other tablets.

About the audio experience and watch content on different OTT applications

After tempered, The reflection is as it is. So keep this in mind. It’s a multi-touch display. So you can use it with 2-5,10 fingers. You can use it with any type of content. It has Dolby Vision and HDR10 +. If you want to watch video content, you will get HDR support. It supports up to 1080 P content on other OTT applications. YouTube supports 4K 60 HDR. It also supports Dolby Vision on Netflix. And YouTube supports 4K 60 HDR. Let’s talk about the audio experience. It has dual speakers.

Now you will say it has 4 grills, Only 2 of them are for sound, Rest 2 for ventilation. So you get dual speakers here But you will get an idea of the quality of the speakers once you put on the headphones. The loudness is above average. The sound is clear and there is thump. It is not very loud You can feel the stereo separation on the left & right. It won’t disappoint or amaze you.

The iPad Air M2 offers good but not exceptional audio with dual speakers, advanced front and rear cameras suitable for video calls and casual photography, and useful AI-powered features like Siri, mail summarization, and photo effects. I tested it with another charger. To see if it consume more than 20W. It doesn’t go higher than 20W It charges from 0% to 100% in 2 hours on time. Which is a good time

Its Neural Engine is very good compared to any other Android Smartphone or Android Tablet. You can judge from the numbers. Antutu Benchmark has a score of 1.8 million. Geekbench scores are also very good.

In this, you can make a frame by frame sketch & animate it

If they are charging money for the performance, then its chips are very expensive. And this is because of its performance. Because you can bring a lot of productive apps in it. In Pro create, you can work according to the advanced level layers. People use create for sketching. For this, they specifically go to the iPad. Pro create also has Procreate Animate. In this, you can make a frame by frame sketch & animate it. There are different color palettes, advanced brushes. Those who do sketching or those who want to do it, they would have understood. iPad is used the most in this. And as it has M.2 chip is used, then it will work very well.

I am saying it will work because we didn’t test in this. We don’t have any sketch artist who can test at such an advanced level. But if you watch videos online, who have tested in this. Specifically, according to their profession, then you will get an idea. We tried to run the productivity applications as per our requirement. For example, kine master was giving a very good experience.

If you want to do day to day tasks, You can use it for multimedia

We get DaVinci Resolve in this. You can run Photoshop, Lightroom. You can also run Adobe Premiere Rush. There is no lag in performance. I am telling you according to productivity. If you want to do day to day tasks, You can use it for multimedia, it is really good. Animation is good. You get Apple’s butter smooth animations. You can run many applications side by side. But yes, Apple’s RAM management works in a some different way. If you are uploading an post in an application, And you minimize it and do something else. You won’t know when the application will stop in the background. This is not just the case of iPad, it happens in iPhone too. If you don’t want to go to Macbook, This can also be a very productive tablet for photo and video editing. And if you want to run music production applications.

That’s why I am back to S24 Ultra from iPhone 16 Pro. S25 Ultra is also coming. For video editing, most people use Final Cut Pro. Which we also get for iPadOS. For that, iPad is the most famous for advanced level video editing. If you bought 128 GB and if you want to do editing for big projects. Then you don’t have to any load. You can do editing through external storage. In Da Vinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro. There are different types of support in different softwares like kine master. I was checking in Filmora. Any external SSD was not supported. If you want to connect other screen, You can connect a keyboard mouse with Bluetooth. You can make a full desktop setup and work on it.

When tested Call of Duty Mobile. it has getting max framerate on all settings

You get Logic Pro for iPad. And if you get GarageBand, then you can do music production on this thin machine. The true power of iPad, Productive users. And in all productivity applications, If you want to use a pencil for art, Then it is a cherry on the cake. And when it comes to performance, Have a look at the game test as well First of all.

I tested Call of Duty Mobile. I was getting max framerate on all settings. So I tested max on max. Which means 60 FPS. Because it has a 60 Hz display And this game is not that demanding. It was running smoothly. Then I tested BGMI. I was getting extreme from smooth to HDR. So I tested extreme on HDR. And on HDR extreme, I got stable 60 FPS. These games are not that heavy. So you don’t need to think much

We made the graphics quality on highest in BGMI

Then I tested BGMI Impact. I made the graphics quality on highest. And I was getting up to 120 FPS. Whereas, this is a 60Hz display. So even if you select 120, you get 60 FPS. And I was getting smooth stable 60 FPS. It has M.2. I wasn’t getting any FPS drop. Obviously, there is no FPS meter here. But I can tell you after playing. Then we tested Resident Evil Village. Which is natively launched for M.2 chipset. Other settings were off & medium. You can consider it as medium to low settings. And yes, we were getting playable smooth FPS. It can be said that it has 55 – 60 FPS. If we change the settings on high, we can still more enjoy it. Obviously, it’s a very powerful machine.

Two amazing tablets, but which one is the ultimate choice? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S90 Plus or the new iPad 11. And if you’re trying to choose between the two tablets. So don’t miss this artical as today we are breaking everything down from its design, performance, and gaming and even the stylus experience. I will be scoring them in each category.

Design and look of iPad 11 and Galaxy Tab S9 FE plus

Starting with the design, the iPad 11 plays it extremely safe. Apple has gone with the exact same design as they have used for a couple of years now. An all aluminum body with flat edges and the Touch ID on the power button. It’s lightweight, minimal, and very Appleike. But if you are hoping for something new visually, then this one might feel a bit stale, especially if you’re coming from an older iPad model.

I must say it still feels premium and easy to carry around. On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab S90 Plus takes things a notch higher. First off, the build is solid. It’s made of aluminium as well, but comes with an IP68 rating, which means it’s more rugged and ready for outdoor usage. We also get a micro SD card slot here. That’s a very added bonus and also a magnetic slot at the back for the SPEN.

Samsung includes the SPEN right out of the box, which is a huge win for budget conscious users. We will be talking about the S Pen a little bit later. But for this segment, I would like to give a point each to both the tablets for their design that is as this one will always come down to your personal taste.

Display of both models

Move on to what probably matters the most in a tablet, and that is the display. The iPad 11 features an 11 in liquid retina IPS display with a resolution of 1640 by 2360 pixels. The display is sharp, vibrant, and works really well for binge watching. During my flights, I watched quite a bit of Netflix. And honestly, the viewing experience was excellent.

It still has a display refresh rate of 60 Hz, which really makes me sad to be very honest. In contrast, the Galaxy Tab S9 F Plus brings a 12.4 4 in LCD panel with a resolution of 1,600 by 2560 pixels. It’s slightly bigger and has a refresh rate of 90 Hz. This makes animations and scrolling feel noticeably smoother, Of course, it’s not AMOLED like Samsung’s higherend tablets, but at this price, it’s a great display. Colorful, sharp, and perfect for watching Netflix or YouTube. But overall, whichever tablet you pick, you are going to have a great experience binge watching your favorite content. The iPad 11 features stereo speakers and they are quite decent.

It’s also a lot brighter when compared with the iPad 11. The 90 Hz refresh rate makes a difference in day-to-day usage, especially if you’re someone who hates laggy UI interactions. So for the display segment, the Galaxy Tab S9 F+ Plus takes a point this round hands down. The smoother display with 90 Hz refresh rate makes the difference over here.

You get good clarity and loudness and it’s totally fine for watching videos or casual gaming. The sound has that warmth that I often look for. The Galaxy Tab S9 F+ on the other hand comes with AKG tuned stereo speakers that also support Dolby Atmos. These are actually pretty immersive. It’s clear with decent bass and a wider sound stage. Whether I was watching a movie or listening to music, the sound felt much more immersive and enjoyable. Also, it’s louder among the two tablets with rich audio experience.

Ram and other freatures diffrents

One point goes to the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus. No surprises here as Samsung nails audio on tablets every time. Also, we are super close to hitting 100K subs on this channel. So, I would really appreciate if you could consider hitting that subscribe button. Now, let’s get into the business end of the two tablets. When it comes to the performance, this is where the iPad 11 finally shows its strength. It comes with the A16 Bionic chipset paired with 6 gigs of RAM, and this thing is really powerful. Everything from launching apps to editing videos feels snappy. Multitasking is buttery smooth.

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus features Samsung’s Exynos 1380 chipset paired with 6, 8, or 12 gigs of RAM, depending on which variant you get. Now, it’s definitely not on par with Apple’s A16 in terms of raw performance, but in my case, it handled day-to-day tasks quite fine. It’s not built for heavy lifting, but for most users, it will get the job done without any complaint.

Performance wise compare who is winner

Here are the benchmark scores on Geekbench of both the tablets. And as you can see, the iPad 11 simply performs a lot better. If you wanted to edit videos on either of the two tablets, they both can handle basic 1080 projects with ease. But both the tablets will start to struggle the moment we switch to 4K videos. Overall, this round clearly goes to the iPad 11. The 16 Bionic chipset is much more powerful and also future proof. Also, the Galaxy S10 FE is around the corner. I will surely make an updated video when I get my hands onto that tablet.

Software performance of both

Talking about the software, it basically comes down to your personal preference here. The iPad 11 runs on iPad OS 18. It’s clean, fluid, and optimized beautifully. The Dab S950 Plus runs on 1 UI which is a skinned version of Android 14 and Samsung’s 1 UI has really matured over the years. It’s a much more polished app ecosystem. You get access to tons of apps that are only available on the iPad OS and not on Android tablets. Procreate apps like Final Cut Pro, Darin Resolve, Procreate, and a few more are only available on the iPad.
