Th iPad Pro 2022 vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra duel will most certainly determine which one of the 2022 tablets is the best. Between Samsung and Apple, who builds the best tablet?
The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra caused quite a stir when it was announced last February. Fans were thrilled to see that Samsung was finally stepping up to the plate to steal Apple’s thunder in the tablet market.
Indeed, Apple has dominated the tablet market for a long time, and we wish to know if the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra could change this trend.
The iPad Pro 2022 has not yet been announced, but some of its features are already known.

Which tablet is the most beautiful and resistant
We believe that the 2022 iPad Pro will have a design quite similar to that of the 2021 iPad Pro. The latter was the most robust of the tablets released in 2021 and its successor will certainly continue in this vein. Apple’s next tablet would also have a glass back, for MagSafe wireless charging. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is a pretty tablet with a very sober design. It has dimensions of 326.4 x 208.6 x 5.5 mm with a mass of 726g for the Wifi version and 728g for the cellular version. It comes with a very useful stylus that will make users happy.
IPad Pro 2022 vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra: Which one is more powerful
The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, which is the most powerful on an Android device. But it’s no match for the Apple M1 Max chip that’s likely to be found in the upcoming iPad Pro 2022. In addition, both tablets offer between 8 and 16GB of RAM.
The iPad Pro 2022 will certainly offer up to 2TB of storage, whereas on the Tab S8 Ultra, storage is limited to 512GB expandable with a micro SD card of up to 1TB capacity.
For both smartphones and tablets, Apple’s devices have been much more powerful than Android-based devices for the past two years. That won’t change in 2022.
IPad Pro 2022 vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra: Which tablet has the better screen
With a 14.6 inch screen protected by Gorilla Glass 5, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is a good tablet for watching videos or doing graphic design work.
It is believed that Apple will still produce two versions of its iPad Pro: one with a 12.9-inch screen and a smaller one with an 11-inch screen. Mini LED technology is also announced for the 11-inch version.
The current iPad Pro 2021 has a very nice screen that is sharper than the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. It is certain that the 2022 version will have an even better screen.
Which tablet has the best cameras
The Samsung Tab S8 Ultra has two selfie cameras of 12MP each. On the back, you’ll also find two cameras: 13MP + 6MP (wide and ultra-wide). You’ll enjoy video calling on this tablet, especially with its huge 14.6-inch screen.
We have no idea what cameras this year’s iPad Pro will have, but reliable sources believe they won’t be much different from what we had with last year’s iPad Pro. A bit like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. It was a 12MP + 10MP dual rear camera accompanied by a 12MP selfie camera which is excellent on video calls.
It’s safe to say that Apple’s tablet will be even better on this aspect than Samsung’s.

iPad Pro 2022 vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra: Which tablet has the best battery life
The iPad Pro 2021 with its 9720mAh battery could run for ten hours non-stop of common use: browsing the web, watching some streaming videos etc. Of course, some settings like brightness, volume level and others can reduce this figure.
Hopefully, with the 2022 edition, this battery life will be better. After all, if you use the iPad Pro for professional tasks such as content creation or video editing, the battery life drops drastically.
The Samsung Tab S8 Ultra has a huge 11200mAh battery with a 45W charge that will take it from 0 to 100% in 82 minutes. According to Samsung, this tablet can run for 14 hours of video playback and 148 hours of audio playback.
IPad Pro 2022 vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra: Which one should you buy?
Both of these tablets promise to give you extraordinary performance, whether for business or just for entertainment. We can’t say for sure which one will be better, but Samsung has closed the gap between its tablets and the iPad Pro.
The Samsung Tab S8 Ultra has two selfie cameras, each with 12MP. On the back, you’ll also find two cameras: 13MP + 6MP (wide and ultra-wide). You’ll enjoy video calling on this tablet, especially with its huge 14.6-inch screen.
