The iPad is just a bit better than the Galaxy Player 5, with a general score of 44.7 against 42.7. IPad counts with iOS 5.1 OS, while Galaxy Player 5 counts with Android 2.3.5 OS. The Galaxy Player 5 counts with a little more vivid display than iPad, because although it has a way smaller screen and a way lower resolution of 800 x 480, it also counts with a greater pixels count in each display inch.
Apple iPad counts with a much better performing processing unit than Galaxy Player 5, because it has a higher number of cores. Samsung Galaxy Player 5 features a slightly better storage capacity for games and applications than Apple iPad, because although it has less internal storage, it also counts with a SD extension slot that holds a maximum of 32 GB.
IPad has a battery life that is very similar to the battery life in Galaxy Player 5. Galaxy Player 5 has a very superior camera than Apple iPad.
Despite of being the best tablet in our current comparison, the iPad is also a bargain compared to others, which makes it a no doubt choice.
