The iPad 2 has a score of 62.1, which is just a bit better than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 V's 58.5 global score. IPad 2 comes with iOS 7.x operating system, while Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 V comes with Android 4.4 operating system. The iPad 2 body is incredibly heavier but thinner than Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 V.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 V features a better looking screen than iPad 2, because although it has a really smaller display and a bit lower 1024 x 600 resolution, it also counts with a better pixels count per inch of display. IPad 2 counts with a very superior storage for applications, games, photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 V, because although it has no SD card slot, it also counts with 64 GB internal storage capacity.
The iPad 2 features just a bit better hardware performance than Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 V, because although it has lesser RAM memory, it also counts with more cpu cores and an extra graphics processor. The iPad 2 counts with a way better battery life than Galaxy Tab 3 V, because it has a 6944mAh battery size against 3600mAh.
IPad 2 features a bit better camera than Galaxy Tab 3 V, because although it has a camera with a way lower 0.7 mega-pixels resolution, it also counts with a way better 1280x720 (HD) video resolution.
Although iPad 2 is a better device, it is way more expensive than the Galaxy Tab 3 V, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy Tab 3 V. So if you want that extra features and specs, you can buy the iPad 2, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the Galaxy Tab 3 V, letting go a couple specifications.
