Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus vs Apple iPad Air 2020 By Jonathan Casey

What's up everybody, I hope you all are doing well today we're going to be talking about this. The Galaxy Tab, s7 plus I've, been using it for a little over a week, and I have to say I am blown away by the experience since apple recently dropped a bombshell with the 2020 iPad Air, which I have to say, looks like a mighty fine tablet. I figure it would be cool to give you seven plus reasons why I would choose the Galaxy Tab, s7 plus over the new 2020 iPad Air. Before I do that, let me quickly preface this video by saying I have not used seen poked touched, turned on turned off or slept with the 2020 iPad Air. My thoughts and opinions could technically change once I get the device in hand, and I'll definitely be pre-ordering. So if you don't want to miss that content make sure to subscribe, I'm basing this video solely off of the specs' apple has listed on their website, my years and years of experience using every iPad since generation 1 and my experience using the tab, s7 plus by no means is this trying to steal, apple's, thunder or downplay the 2020 iPad Air.

It's simply to provide you a choice or an alternative to the iPad in case iOS or iPadOS. Just isn't your thing with that. Out of the way, let's talk about the tab, s7 plus beginning with some key specs, the Galaxy Tab, s7 plus packs a snapdragon, 865, plus and 8 gigabytes of ram. It packs a 10 900 William hour battery, and it supports 45 watt charging the 2020 iPad Air is the first device. We have seen sporting the a14 bionic, a 5 nanometer 6 core CPU, with a 4 core GPU and a 16 core neural engine chip.

At the time of this, video based off of a leaked an tutu benchmark the snapdragon 865 and the 865 plus is technically outperforming the a14 bionic by quite a bit. This could have to do with pre-production software and not being optimized or possibly, discrepancies in the 5 nanometer chip production process. Once I get my hands on the 2020 iPad Air, I will do a thorough performance test between these two tablets to take a closer look at. What's going on the iPad Air of 2019 had three gigabytes of ram, so I think it's safe to say the 2020 variants will have a minimum of three gigabytes. Unfortunately, I have no information on battery size anyways with that out of the way.

Let's kick it off with reason number one for choosing the tab, s7 plus, and that's the display out of all the tablets I've used, including two and one's like the Surface Pro. The tab. S7 plus takes the cake, especially when it comes to just overall display quality. It has slightly more resolution than the iPad Air 2020, and it's also bigger coming at 12.4 inches versus 10.9 inches. It has a 16 by 10 aspect ratio, making it more suitable for watching videos and playing games versus the iPad's more or less 4x3 aspect ratio which is suitable for productivity style work.

This is all subjective by the way, since, personally, I don't have a problem with either of these aspect ratios and I like both equally the only benefit I have to give the tab. S7 plus, is when holding the device in portrait it's not only easier to hold, but due to its longer form factor it's better for reading. In my opinion, the tab seven plus packs a super AMOLED display, which should provide punchier contrast and more vibrant colors versus the IPS panel found on the iPad Air 2020. You will immediately see this as soon as you turn on the tab. S7 plus it's just brilliant.

The icing on the cake, however, is the 120 hertz refresh rates. It makes everything extremely smooth, whether you're gaming scrolling through the UI or watching a movie. Unfortunately, apple reserves promotion for their iPad Pro lineup, so the iPad Air will be capped out at 60 hertz. It's not a dealbreaker by any means, but it's just simply not comparable to the tab, s7 plus to go along with the display. Number two are the quad speakers.

iPads have always packed great speakers, but the quad speakers on the iPad pros are just simply on another level. Unfortunately, these speakers are not getting past down to the iPad Air 2020. Instead, it's using a dual stereo speaker design. The lava seven plus, however, is using AKG tuned quad speakers that sound, perfect they're, not on the same page as the 2020 iPad Pro I've been using, but they should definitely beat out the dual stereo speaker system on the 2020 iPad. Air have a quick, listen for yourself.

Life is like a miracle. Sometimes I lose control like whoa round and round life is like a miracle. The third reason I would opt for the tab. S7 plus, is the s pen. Not only is it included in the box, but thanks to that 120 hertz display and the huge improvement Samsung has made with latency.

The experience is simply incredible. I also love the way Samsung made their optional book cover keyboard case to tuck the pen away, making it out of sight and out of mind which reduces any stress or worry. You may have about losing your stylus. The one thing I will give the iPad is app selection, especially when it comes to specific apps that utilize, the Apple Pencil. I just find that iPadOS has more professional, sketching or graphic designing applications.

Moving on to number four, we have decks and wireless decks. These two things could easily be a deciding factor for some when it comes to choosing between these two tablets. DEX allows you to use the tab, s7, plus in more of a chrome, OS or desktop style environment. This gives you huge benefits in multitasking sure iPadOS has come a long way and running apps side by side does help, but it's nothing compared to having multiple app windows open at once. Just like you would on a true laptop.

The great thing is: you can set up decks to automatically start when attaching the keyboard to the tab, s7 plus, so you don't even have to worry with you know, going into the quick toggles and switching it on manually, I'm going to dive into decks on the tab, s7 plus even further, in a separate video. So I won't get too crazy in this. One. Wireless decks make casting the same desktop-like environment to larger screens ridiculously easy. This is useful for business individuals or students that tend to give presentations frequently or if you just want to share some photos or videos with the FAM.

Additionally, the s pen can act as a slideshow remote. When doing these things. Five comes down to the price which I'm sure many of you are about to attack me for saying, since the iPad Air is 5.99 and the tab s7 plus is 8.49. But please, please just hear me out when looking at the storage configuration of the iPad Air you're only getting 64 gigabytes versus the 128 gigabytes on the tab, s7 plus, to make things more comparable. You need to step up to the 256 gigabyte option, which now puts you at 7.49. The tab.

Seven plus also comes with a stylus which would cost an additional 129 bucks for the iPad Air 2020, making it 30 dollars more expensive altogether. Of course, you may not want a pin and 64 gigabytes of storage might be plenty for you. If that's the case and the iPad Air is definitely cheaper, but it comes down to what you need, what you want and what you already have to go along with 5 Samsung offers aggressive trading options, so you can technically get the price of the tab, s7, plus even lower, with an eligible trade-in, make sure to check out the current offerings, as well as any special incentives like Spotify YouTube premium. You know stuff like that. It all adds up and creates the killer value.

The seventh reason also piggybacks off of number five, since the tab. S7 plus has user upgradable storage via a micro SD card slot up to one terabyte. I don't even need to elaborate any further on why this is awesome, especially when you consider that the iPad Air can only be upgraded with cloud storage or by connecting an external drive through the USB port. Number 8 is faster charging speeds. The tab seven plus may ship with a weaker charger than the iPad Air 2020, but it is compatible with Samsung's 45 watt charger.

In theory, this should give you slightly faster charging speeds, especially burst charges, since the iPad tops out at 30 watts. If I'm not mistaken, ninth is all about the snapdragon 865 plus, since it supports 5g connectivity. In fact, the tab s7 plus, is the first tablet in the United States to support 5g, including ultra-wideband, for insane speeds. According to apple's websites, iPad Air supports 4g, LTE speeds and Wi-Fi 6, but that doesn't mean apple can't switch things up when it starts to ship the device or even after, through an update, since the a14 should be the same chip making its way into upcoming 5g iPhones. Lastly, is cloud gaming I understand.

Apple has officially stated Xbox game pass and other streaming services will be coming to the app store. But it's already here on android uh, plus thanks to the 120 hertz AMOLED display cloud. Gaming has never looked this good on a tablet, at least in my opinion, not to mention you can still play Fortnite on the tab, seven plus all right. So there we have it. That was 10 reasons.

I would choose the tab, seven plus over the iPad Air 2020, at least right now, like I said this could change once I use it and get the device in hand, but honestly, based off the reasons I listed in my experience with the tab, s7 plus, I wouldn't count on my mind being changed.
