This article deals with an exciting discussion between Best Tablets around us and the Ultimate war between Galaxy Tab vs iPad. In this article we are dealing with the best and extreme research oriented comparison between Samsung Galaxy Tab vs iPad. Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 is considered as the best iPad alternative tablet by few Tech freaks before its launch, but the amazing performance of Galaxy Tab 10.1 made them accept the fact that Galaxy tab is the ultimate tab that is loaded with almost everything in it. Galaxy tab 10.1 is same as Galaxy Tab 750. In USA, Samsung launched it as Galaxy Tab 10.1. While they named it as Galaxy Tab 750 in India. The Features of Galaxy Tab 750 are subjected to change when introduced in India.

So, Let us jump into the actual comparison between 2 Tabs – Galaxy Tab vs iPad.
Comparison between Galaxy Tab vs iPad

1. Design and Structure War between Galaxy Tab vs iPad

The launch of Samsung’s original 7 inch Galaxy Tab last year came out as a surprise to Apple iPad 1 and also marked the beginning of a long war against Steve Job’s innovating devices. So, with the release of the iPad 2 in First Quarter of this year, people expected the new Galaxy 10.1 inch tab to hold a strong hand in the tablet market when it arrived in June.

Samsung is looking at competing directly with the iPad, using identical pricing strategies and even releasing a smaller 8.9 inch version later in the summer that will undercut the iPad 2 – a sign of intent?

Size wise the 10.1 inch Samsung is very compact, even relative to the new thinner iPad 2, its only 8.6mm thick, 0.2mm slimmer than the already slim Apple slate. It also weighs in lighter at 565g to the iPad 2’s 607g, making it a little lighter even though it is notably taller than the Apple Ipad 2.

The Samsung also has a larger screen, with a 10.1 inch 16:10 version displaying LCD images on a 1200×800 resolution. The Apple iPad 2 has a 9.7 inch screen that uses a LED-backlit IPS LCD screen. Both offer sparkling display that really impresses and could not be faulted, though the Galaxy’s is a tad clearer, mainly due to its higher pixel count.

So, In design and structure war between Galaxy tab vs iPad “according to me Galaxy tab is the best tablet PC, while the interface of Apple is still having the upper hand”

2. Analyzing Features between Galaxy Tab vs iPad

So what gives these slates the power to run these amazing pictures? Well, in Apple’s case its the new Dual Core 1GHz Apple A5 processor, which has twice the power of its predecessor, amazing when opening up apps that are heavier on performance. The Samsung also uses dual-core 1GHz processor (Cortex-A9 processor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 T20 chipset), with Apple openly admitting and acknowledged that Samsung makes the chips for its previous iPad, Samsung may have a trick or two up their sleeve in this department so come June.

The Apple machine runs iOS4.3 whereas the Samsung runs the new version of Android 3.1, also referred to as Honeycomb. Although android 3.1 is excellent for multitasking, critics have pointed out it’s not as intuitive as the iOS4.3 interface that the iPad 2 uses. But Honeycomb also allows for Adobe Flash and unfortunately the Apple doesn’t which will cause irks in many gadget geeks.

3. Memory and Battery Life between Galaxy Tab vs iPad

Memory wise the Apple iPad comes in 16/32/64 GB versions and the Galaxy also comes in 16/32/64 GB offerings with 1 GB RAM. However Galaxy Tab can be upgraded by micro SD by up to 32GB which offers certain flexibility something that the Apple iPad 2 doesn’t have.

Battery life in the new Galaxy is awesome whose Video Playback capacity is upto 9hrs while Audio is over 70 hrs., although the Honeycomb operating system is said to prolong life and we know the Motorola Xoom which runs the same system has around 10 hours which is a similar time to the new iPad, so we can only make assumptions it will be similar at this stage.

4. Camera and Connectivity Fight Between Galaxy Tab vs iPad

However, we do know that the new Galaxy will have a 3MP rear facing camera and a 2MP front-facing camera – currently leaving it as king of the cameras. It’s suspected such specifications will include 720p capture for the Samsung slate. Apple has included a front facing VGA with its new iPad version and a rear camera that captures 720p. The Samsung is a clear winner here.

Connectivity wise neither machine is amazing; the Apple has the usual lack of USB ports that have hindered its predecessor and the Galaxy is not set to have a HDMI cable leading one to question how such decisions are made in this day and age.

Conclusion of War Between Galaxy Tab vs iPad

1. Overall the Samsung Galaxy looks like it could be a very strong contender to the king of the tablets.

2. It’s original was a threat but this one looks like it could possibly go the whole way and with Samsung looking to compete directly on price with the iPad they may feel exactly the same way.

3. Galaxy Tab is one of the best Wizard with almost everything loaded in it. I don’t hesitate to say that Galaxy tab is the best tablet when compared to Apple iPad.
