Comparison review
IPad Pro 10.5-inch is much better than Galaxy Tab S5e, with an 88.9 score against 78.6. Despite being the best device in this review, it must be noted that it's also an older, somewhat heavier and just a little bit thicker device. IPad Pro 10.5-inch has a slightly better looking screen than Galaxy Tab S5e, although it has a just a little inferior pixel quantity per inch of screen and a little lower resolution of 1668 x 2224px, they both have a same size display.
The iPad Pro 10.5-inch features a much greater memory capacity for applications, games, photos and videos than Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, because although it has no SD card slot, it also counts with 512 GB internal storage capacity. The iPad Pro 10.5-inch has a bit faster CPU than Galaxy Tab S5e, although it has 2 less CPU cores (although faster), they both have 4 GB of RAM memory.
IPad Pro 10.5-inch has just a little bit longer battery duration than Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, because it has 8134mAh of battery capacity against 7040mAh. The iPad Pro 10.5-inch captures clearer pictures and videos than Galaxy Tab S5e, because although it has a camera with a worse resolution and a worse (4K) video quality, it also counts with a bigger camera aperture.
Although iPad Pro 10.5-inch is a better device, it costs a lot more than Galaxy Tab S5e, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as the Galaxy Tab S5e. If you want to save some dollars, you can buy the Galaxy Tab S5e, and give up a couple features and specs, but you'll get the most with your money.
