Comparison review
The iPad Pro has an overall score of 79.5, which is a bit better than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4's general score of 78.8. IPad Pro is a older and noticeably heavier device than the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, but Apple managed to build it just a bit thinner anyway. Galaxy Tab S4 features a bit more powerful processor than iPad Pro, and although they both have the same RAM amount, the Galaxy Tab S4 also has 7 more cores.
The iPad Pro counts with a slightly better looking display than Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, because although it has a bit less pixels per display inch, it also counts with a bit higher resolution of 2732 x 2048px and a larger display. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 has more memory capacity for apps and games than iPad Pro, because although it has less internal storage, it also counts with a SD card slot that supports up to 400 GB.
IPad Pro has a way better battery life than Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, because it has a 41 percent greater battery size. Galaxy Tab S4 has a better camera than Apple iPad Pro, because it has a much higher video resolution, a way higher resolution back-facing camera and a lot bigger aperture to take better captures and videos in low light environments.
Although iPad Pro is a better device, it costs more than the Galaxy Tab S4, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as Galaxy Tab S4. So if you want that extra specs, you can buy the iPad Pro, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the Galaxy Tab S4, giving up some specs and features.
