hey you guys it's max max tech Samsung just released a new Galaxy Tab s6 and
today we're gonna be comparing it against the s5 yi and figuring out is it
worth spending the extra money for the tab s6 or should you save some and go
with the s5 II that we did multiple videos on a few months ago when it
launched and we were really impressed by now they're both sitting here on the
table in front of me and you probably cannot tell the difference between them
that is because a lot of the design is very similar the screen resolution is
the same we're gonna test our brightness here in just a second but there actually
are some minor differences the s5 II is slightly lighter and also slightly
thinner but when you look at up even when you feel them and hold them in your
hands you cannot tell the difference and the fact that both of these are so
lightweight makes them really nice to use for extended periods now when I go
ahead and flip these over now you'll start seeing some of the differences
with s5 e we have a single camera and I will be taking a photo shortly compared
to the dual camera system but the even bigger difference is this little bevel
with little kind of a spot for the S Pen that is included with the tab s6 and
that will connect magnetically on the left-hand side we have these little
connectors for the keyboards along with a couple cutouts that help the tablets
hold more securely to the keyboard and at the top we see we have microphones
here and also on the bottom so both these tablets have quad speakers which
is really nice for different content they both have a USB c4 connections with
15-watt chargers same amount of battery but when we flip to this side we start
noticing a little bit of a difference we have the volume rockers here both of
them have micro SD card slots I'll talk about the capacities and just a second
but as you can tell with the s5 II the power button is different that's because
it actually has a built-in fingerprint scanner that I really liked it's super
fast with a tab s6 we have an optical underneath the display fingerprint
scanner which is interesting because Samsung smartphones use ultrasonic
underneath the display sensors and this one actually is quite a bit faster and
more reliable so every single time I turn it on it is quite
and it gets it so that is a positive but you do have to turn on the display first
whereas with a tab s5e the scanners on the side and it's both the power button
so you can just in one little click both turn on the display and get into it so
it is faster having that and I would say I would prefer that Spivey's a
fingerprint scanner the last thing that I want to mention design-wise the width
the tab s6 we have a little bevel all around the actual tablet which makes it
just look a little more premium has a little bit of a shine to it when light
hits it compared to just the standard s5e both these tablets have excellent
OLED displays they have high resolutions large pixel densities and really deep
blacks because of the fact that their OLED and on paper they're basically the
same well it's very interesting is looking at them now when I max out the
brightness the s5e looks slightly brighter but it also has a cooler white
balance out of the factory compared to the tab s6 and I don't know if that's
just manufacturing differences or how they're tuning them but that is
something to note now as far as reflectivity and viewing angles if
you're looking from the side all of that looks to be exactly the same jumping
into a YouTube video I'm gonna play back this 4k HDR file of course we can't
stream in 4k well we can't do 1440p which gives us a lot of detail here one
big difference though is that with a tab s5e the YouTube app is not playing HDR
playing standard whereas with the tab s6 it is playing HDR and all the software
is up to date now depending on the shot you could prefer one or the other but in
general you're gonna get greater dynamic range and more highlight details with
HDR on now some other apps could support HDR with the s5e but the s6 is HDR 10
plus certified so if that's what you're looking for you're gonna get a better
result with the s6 but either way both these have a fantastic experience if you
want to watch movies music videos anything like that now there is one
other major difference between the displeased and that is support for an S
Pen the s5e does not support it not even if
you buy one after market it just is not set up for this whereas the tab s6 does
support it and the s-pen is included in the box so if you're somebody that likes
to draw you like to take notes do things like that you want to have a stylus you
definitely have to go for the tab s6 and with the tab s6 we also like as I
mentioned have this little cutout or this little embossed area where the
s-pen now magnetically connects let's do it the right way
there you go and that just makes it easier for you to keep it with you it
actually stays on fairly well it does wiggle around if you bump it but I think
this is a much better solution than what they did with the tab s4 now along with
the updated s-pen and the little area that's magnetic we have a new updated
keyboard that has a couple new things so first off let me set this down here we
actually have a nice little slot for the s-pen here and let's go ahead and attach
this there we go so this helps out to be able to not lose
your s-pen if you're gonna be throwing it in your bag and this little side
literally just pops off like that you can pull it out flip it just like that
so that's actually really nice and I love that it's actually a two-piece
system now instead of a one-piece keyboard so you can detach the keyboard
part of it and just have this little kind of protection for the back and your
little holder for the s-pen or you can actually let's get this attached
magnetically and then now we have a full cover so it's very flexible and there's
also a little kickstand built in here and so we can actually adjust the angle
so this is all the way down right here let me turn this back on so it gets
fairly low or I can raise it up if I'm going to be sitting down and as you guys
can see there's also one other update with the keyboard and this is very
exciting and this is the trackpad so right away when we put our keyboard on I
can already just touch it and have a cursor just like on a laptop and this is
really gonna help make this a better laptop replacement we actually are
have an upcoming video comparing the iPad to the Galaxy Tab s 6 as far as
which one's a better laptop replacement so make sure you guys are subscribed you
guys have notifications enabled the tab s5e does also have a keyboard accessory
it is less expensive than the one for the tab s6 but it's much less capable we
don't have that track that on there and we don't have that little cool kickstand
either so it's a more traditional kind of
tablet keyboard typing experience is pretty good for something that's so
compact but if I was somebody that wanted to use a keyboard quite often
often enough to spend over $100 on one I would definitely try to go for the tab
s6 because of the extra capabilities now it's time to compare the speakers
now as I mentioned earlier both these have quad speakers which is great but is
the sound quality the same or is a tab s6 better let's start out with the s5 II
[Music] [Applause]
[Music] I don't know about you guys but to us
the tab s NYX does sound a little bit louder maybe a little bit more full you
guys let us know down in the comments section below
before we talk about performance which is a major difference between these two
let's take a quick look at cameras so the Galaxy Tab s5e does have a front
facing camera a camera on the back but the s6 actually has dual cameras on the
back which might be a first at least that I know of for a tablet I'm not
really sure why you need an ultra-wide lens but here's a shot with the regular
one there we go and then we have an ultra-wide which is crazy and you guys
let us know which one looks better if you can tell a difference and now it's
time to talk about performance where we should see a pretty substantial
difference so both these have Snapdragon processors
we have the 674 the s5 II and then 855 which is more of a flagship processor
for the tab s6 they're both eight cores but the tab s5e
has six slow chorus and too fast pours whereas this one has one ultra-fast core
three fast chorus and then four power-saving cores I'm gonna start
running Geekbench v here we're going to compare the results but I also wanted to
talk about the RAM differences in the storage differences if we compare the
base models the tab s6 comes with 6 gigs ram compared to 4 with s5e and then if
you spend $80 more you'll get double the storage for both from 64 to 128 and from
128 to 256 and on top of that you get two extra gigs of ram so you can get up
to eight with the tab s6 compared to six that's not a huge difference but it is
there now another thing I want to mention while we're waiting for this
test to finish up is the battery life both of them have the same battery a
little over seven thousand milliamp hours but because of the weaker
processor in the s5e you will get better battery life alright
finally the s5 II is finished that took a while and in multi-core we have a
score of almost double with the tab s6 but in single core it's actually more
than twice as fast and that is we notice in those little things like opening up
the web browser or certain apps don't need all of the cores
it definitely feels a snappier and if you're gonna do intensive CPU tasks
different larger apps photo editing some video stuff you definitely want the
better performance of the tab s6 and as far as graphics as you guys can see the
difference is massive a close to four times faster and four times more
powerful with the tab s6 and this is something that you actually notice
day-to-day with the s5 II in my review I complained about stutters and little
glitches and slowdowns when you know swiping through the UI and with the tab
of six it is much better improved now along with that it for somebody who's
gonna be doing things like gaming you will definitely notice a difference now
let me know down in the comment section below if you want angelica to do a
gaming comparison between these two i think we know the results but if you
guys want to see a video like that with a couple different games let me know
down below alright guys so there you guys have it the comparison between the
s5 II and the tab s6 and the last thing that we need to talk about is the value
is it worth spending more money on the tab s6 and I would say absolutely if
you're watching this video and you're seriously contemplating between buying
one of these over the other I would say definitely spend the extra money if you
need some time you need a wait save up a little more please do that and get the
tab s6 now with that said there is still a market for the galaxy s5 II if you're
somebody that just needs a web browser you're gonna watch videos listen some
music simple tasks like that this will still get the job done as long as you
know that you're not going to be running a bunch of apps multitasking using decks
stuff like that this could still be a great device but make sure you know what
you're getting into and I would say if you're doing that don't spend the extra
money to get extra storage your RAM unless you're buying it refurbished
which you can actually get some pretty good deals I will leave a link down in
the video description and you could still be happy with this but for most
people I would say spend extra money get the type of six especially if you want
to get a keyboard as well because that keyboard is so much more capable you can
detach it you have that stands and of course you get the S Pen
with it included a lot more performance so thank you guys for watching if you
guys want to see more videos on these make sure you guys click that little
circle to subscribe and enable notifications down below we actually
already did a comparison a width iPad pro against the top s6 and some of the
results were very interesting so if you guys want to see that click that little
box right over there and we will be doing a full review as well that you
guys do not want to miss out on this one max was max tech and I will see you guys
in the next video [Music]
