- Which is better for drawing and note-taking?
- The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra includes the S Pen and gives you a much larger 14.6-inch canvas, which suits sketching and long notes. The iPad Pro has better stylus latency and pro art apps, but Apple Pencil Pro is sold separately.
- Which has the better screen?
- The Tab S11 Ultra is bigger and brighter at 1600 nits peak on a 14.6-inch AMOLED panel. The iPad Pro's 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR is sharper per inch with ProMotion and better color accuracy for photo and video work.
- Which lasts longer on a charge?
- Apple rates the iPad Pro at up to 31 hours, and the Tab S11 Ultra lists an 11,600 mAh battery with long battery life. Real-world results depend on brightness and workload, so check the price history and reviews before buying.
- Is the iPad Pro worth the extra money?
- It is if you need Apple-only apps, Apple Intelligence, or a lighter tablet you can hold for hours. If you mainly want a big screen for documents, video, and drawing, the Tab S11 Ultra saves you about $174 at current prices.
- Which is better for video calls and meetings?
- Both have 12 MP front cameras. The iPad Pro's Center Stage keeps you framed as you move, while the Tab S11 Ultra's larger screen makes split-screen notes and calls easier.
- Can I use a keyboard with both?
- Yes. Samsung sells a Book Cover Keyboard for the Tab S11 Ultra, and Apple sells the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro. Both are extra purchases, so add them to the price before comparing.
