Design
This data will remain subjective, but we’ve seen that this new iPad Pro is made of metal, while the Pixel C makes tablets quite heavy and can be annoying in the long run. For example, it weighs 517 grams for the Pixel C and 437 grams for the iPad Pro, which remains light for its design. The Galaxy Tab S2 only has metal curves that make it lighter.
Screen
You can already see that the screen definition is very good for this diagonal on all tablets, but still A slight advantage for Pixel C, despite being half an inch larger than its competitors. The Galaxy Tab S2, like the iPad Pro, offers the worst pixel-per-inch ratio at 264ppi compared to 308ppi for the Pixel C.
Processor, RAM and graphics chip
As far as the processor is concerned, we can give Apple an edge with the A9X, as the hardware/software combination is managed by the company, even if we see if the other two are the Tegra X1 and Pixel C. Samsung with Exynos processor also offers high-level performance.
On the other hand, the battle for the graphics chip promises to be tight. If the iPad Pro 9.7 retains 4GB of RAM due to Apple’s uncertainty on the matter, it will be slightly ahead of its rivals that only offer one less. Same for the battery (the battery of the first iPad Pro was over 10,000 mAh)
Capacity and camera
In terms of capacity, the iPad Pro offers 3:32, 128GB and 256GB without microSD as you know from Apple. Google has 32GB and 64GB versions. Galaxy Tab S2 offers:Same as Pixel C, but with possible memory expansion.
The camera is 12 MP for the iPad Pro, and therefore it outperforms its competitors at this point, offering only an 8 MP sensor. Even if we’ve seen that pixel racing isn’t everything, as in the latest Galaxy S7 example, we’ll have to see it in use, although this benchmark isn’t the most decisive in a tablet, but it was worth mentioning. .
Connection, accessories and prices
This iPad also offers 4G, which the Pixel C does not. It’s 499 euros but its relative weight (517 grams) can play against it, it doesn’t have 4G. Finally Galaxy Tab S2 435 EurosThe iPad Pro, on the other hand, has an exorbitant price of 695 euros, making it the most affordable tablet in this comparison.
Hoping to help you see this a little more clearly, here’s what we have to say about this comparison. Let us know if this iPad Pro appeals to you or you’re sticking with Android.
