hey what's up everybody this is da man today we are comparing the galaxy tab
pro
8.4 to the iPad Mini with Retina Display
of these tablets are comparable in terms of price and specifications but
hopefully this video will help you figure out which one is best for you
so leave a thumbs up for more videos like this in the future and subscribe if
you're not already
let's see how these two tablets stack up against one another
so let's start out by taking a look at specifications now both of these tablets
are very similar in size but I personally think that the tab pro is
easier to use with one hand
as far as hardware under the hood goes there's definitely a difference between
the internal components used in both tablets but
in my opinion you're not sacrificing performance with either one
according to Samsung the tab pro is actually a hair thinner than the iPad
Mini with Retina display but I couldn't see it
and either way both these tablets are extremely thin
as far as build quality years it's hard to beat the iPad Mini's unibody aluminum
design but the faux leather backing
on the tab pro 8.4 definitely adds to its premium look and feel
it doesn't feel cheap and it's safe to say that Samsung definitely has a
miniature tablet that can stand up against the competition
next up let's take a look at hardware externally you're not going to find a
huge difference between the buttons and ports on both these tablets but the
galaxy tab pro 8.4 does
carry and IR blaster which will I to control your TV in things like that
other than that we have volume rockers on both devices
a mute switch on the iPad Mini and a lock button and microphone on the tab
pro
come around to the bottom side of the devices both of them are equipped with
stereo speakers and then in the center the speakers we have our charging ports
on the top side we have a 3.5 millimeter headphone jacks on both devices while
the iPad Mini also has a lock button
and a microphone now if you're the type of person that used to having sake is on
a device you might wanna stick with the tab pro because it's got to a bomb
and the home button while the iPad Mini just has a single home button in the
center of its bottom bezel
both devices have front facing cameras but the tab pro wins with its megapixels
and quality
on the back side at the tab pro we have an 8-megapixel shooter that capable of
recording 1080 p video while the iPad Mini only has a 5-megapixel camera with
1080 p video recording
and a rear Mike let's go ahead and take a look at some camera samples here
if you'd like to see the full resolution image is found in this video I'll be
sure to link them down below in the description so go ahead and check it out
but
here are a couple of examples of what is possible on both devices
and then we have some video footage here from the tab pro 8.4
which actually looks a lot better than what came of the iPad Mini with Retina
display
of course that's just my opinion be the judge for yourself and let me know what
you think in the comments section
next up we're taking a look at performance we're going to benchmark
these two devices and compare the results and the first up is an 22 and as
you can see
the tab pro 8.4 beat out the iPad Mini with Retina Display coming in with a
score of 35203
taking a look at Geekbench three as you can see the iPad Mini actually beat out
the tab pro in the single-core section
while the tab pro beat the iPad Mini when it came to multi-core scores
but in my opinion you're not going to find a huge difference in performance
between these two devices
you're not going to find a whole lot that will bog down either one
when it comes to gaming browsing the web watching movies writing
anything you can think up they're both going to handle it with ease
so performance is definitely not an issue in this comparison
one thing I can tell you for sure is the display panels on these devices are
absolutely incredible the iPad Mini has a 7.9 inch display with a resolution of
2048 by 1536
at 326 pixels per inch while be galaxy tab pro
hasn't 8.4 inch display with a resolution of 2560
by 1600 with 359 pixels per inch
either way you look at it both these devices have gorgeous displays but in my
opinion the tab pro actually has better color representation and the iPad Mini
now while this comparison is in a battle between I was in android I'd like to
take a look at a software feature that is currently available
on it the tab Pro Series and compared to what is available on the iPad Mini
if you haven't guessed yet i'm talking about. magazine UX now this is a new
feature on the Pro Series
the Samsung tablets and it gives you some additional home screens that are
powered by Flipboard
this will allow you to browse through stories based on categories that you
select
and then you can tap on wanna go ahead and read it and you flip the pages just
like a magazine hence the name
magazine you ax now there are some other things you can do with this
you can actually rearrange the tiles in here you can also change the layout by
using the button at the bottom as you can see me doing right there
and then you also have the ability to add new home screens or select different
categories to appear on the existing home screens
now there is one additional screen that will give you the ability to quickly
check your calendar email
OpenOffice documents and things like that and again you can rearrange these
widgets but what if I told you
that you can have a very similar experience on I O S
yeah magazine you exxon I O as well I have to do is download
Flipboard from the App Store and you're all set up and ready to go
go ahead and launch clipboard sign up for an account and here you know we have
the same thing
we can rearrange tiles we can move stuff around
we can select Custom categories and then we can it's like the category and flip
through pages
again just like a magazine so you're really not missing much
between the two you if you like magazine you act and you prefer I Laswell
here is your solution you can download Flipboard and you'll have it all just
the same so which one is tablet is going to be the better purchase
well for me personally I think it is a type but it's going to depend on what
you're used to
if you're tied up with Apple's ecosystem and I cloud and things like that
you're definitely going to want to stick to Iowa s but on the other hand
if you enjoy Android or you wanna try something new or your apt into a lot of
Google services
the samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4
is not a bad device to look at it is absolutely phenomenal
and its on point with everything that the iPad Mini with Retina Display is all
about
so which tablet do you think is the better one
