Comparison review
The Galaxy Tab Active Pro has a score of 77.5, which is just a bit better than Google Nexus 9's 74.5 score. The Galaxy Tab Active Pro construction is much newer, but noticeably thicker and a lot heavier than the Google Nexus 9. Both of these devices include Android OS (operating system), but the Galaxy Tab Active Pro has the newer 9.0 Pie version and Google Nexus 9 has Android 5.0, so it provides the user some extra features.
The Google Nexus 9 features a bit better hardware performance than Galaxy Tab Active Pro, because although it has a lower number of cores and lesser RAM memory, it also counts with a 64 bits CPU. The Google Nexus 9 features a lot better looking screen than Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro, because although it has a little bit smaller screen, it also counts with more pixels per inch in the screen and a quite better 2048 x 1536 resolution.
Galaxy Tab Active Pro shoots better pictures and videos than Google Nexus 9, because it has a back-facing camera with lot more mega pixels and a way higher 3840x2160 (4K) video quality. Galaxy Tab Active Pro features a lot bigger memory to store more apps and games than Google Nexus 9, because it has a SD extension slot that holds up to 512 GB and 64 GB internal storage.
The Galaxy Tab Active Pro has a bit longer battery lifetime than Google Nexus 9, because it has 7600mAh of battery capacity.
Although Galaxy Tab Active Pro is a better device, it costs a lot more than the Google Nexus 9, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the Google Nexus 9. So if you need that extra features, you can buy Galaxy Tab Active Pro, else you can save a couple dollars and get the Google Nexus 9, letting go some features and specifications.
