Comparison review
IPad Air is slightly better than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, getting a 77.9 score against 74.2. The iPad Air construction is just a bit thinner than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, but it's notably heavier and was released many years before. IPad Air counts with iOS 8.x OS, and Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has Android 11 OS.
Apple iPad Air has a much better looking screen than Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, because it has a bit larger display, a lot higher 1536 x 2048 resolution and a greater pixels density. The iPad Air and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite have incredibly similar CPUs, because although the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has a 32-bits processing unit against 64-bits and doesn't have an extra graphics co-processor, it also counts with 2 GB more RAM memory and a higher number of cores (and also faster).
Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has more memory for games and applications than iPad Air, because although it has just 32 GB internal memory capacity, it also counts with a slot for an SD memory card that supports a maximum of 1 TB. The iPad Air counts with a very superior battery duration than Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, because it has an 8820mAh battery capacity against 5100mAh.
Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has a bit better camera than Apple iPad Air, and although they both have the same 1920x1080 video definition and the same 30 fps video frame rates, the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite also has a larger camera aperture to capture better low light images and video and a back camera with much more MP.
Although iPad Air is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. So if you need that extra specs, you can buy the iPad Air, otherwise you can save some money and buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, giving up a couple specs and features.
