Mobile phone and computer cross-border integration? Samsung GALAXY Tab is indeed one step ahead of the iPad without communication function. Today, I will bring you the PK evaluation of Samsung GALAXY Tab and Apple iPad. How about Samsung GALAXY Tab? IPad killer? It's a veritable title.

★ Samsung GALAXY Tab VS Apple iPad Appearance Comparison

Samsung GALAXY Tab has a 7-inch screen, which is known as the gold size of a tablet terminal. It weighs only 380g and has a thickness of11.98 mm. Compared with the iPad with a 9.7-inch screen and a thickness of 730g and 13.4mm, it is thinner. There is no doubt that GALAXY Tab has advantages in portability. In a relatively limited space, such as subway or bus, on the other hand, if the iPad weighs 730 grams for a short time, there should be no problem, but if you watch videos or e-books for a long time, there will still be difficulties. From this point of view, iPad is more suitable for use in relatively fixed scenes such as bedroom beds and cafes, while Samsung GALAXY Tab has a higher usage rate and is more convenient to use.

(In contrast, the Samsung GALAXY Tab is slimmer. )

You can put it in the inner pocket of your suit, which is more convenient.

From the design point of view, Samsung GALAXY Tab and iPad are simple in style, and the overall workmanship is relatively fine. The buttons in front are very similar to the screen. In contrast, the separate button design of iPad is more concise. GALAXY Tab's ivory piano enamel back and iPad's metallic back have their own characteristics.

(The angle of the front is more concise, and the different textures on the back are different. )

In terms of interface, in addition to the existing data interface and earphone interface, Samsung GALAXY Tab has more microSD card slots and SIM card slots than iPad. The fuselage has 16GB/32GB memory, and it also provides microSD card expansion, which is very advantageous in today's rapid application development, because with the increase of application functions and the improvement of display effect, it takes up more and more space. The expandable storage space of GALAXY Tab ensures that it is more flexible and easier to upgrade, while the iPad with fixed hard disk capacity can only be left behind. Having the call function not only ensures that Samsung GALAXY Tab can have more comprehensive networking capabilities, but also conforms to the trend of integration of mobile phones and computers. In addition, the GALAXY Tab is equipped with a camera, but the iPad is not, which is also a point that the iPad is widely criticized by users.

(The interface between Samsung GALAXY Tab and iPad is fine, and the dustproof design of sim card and SD card slot of GALAXY Tab is very intimate. )

★ Samsung GALAXY Tab VS iPad Communication Function Comparison

Unlike the iPad, Samsung GALAXY Tab not only supports WiFi and 3G networks, but also has the functions of voice call, short message and video call of ordinary mobile phones, so the title of the largest mobile phone in history is worthy of the name. Samsung GALAXY Tab has speakers, and you can also make calls with wired headphones or Bluetooth headphones. The function of short message is the same as that of ordinary mobile phone. Nothing special, but it's really eye-catching to use such a big mobile phone to make phone calls and send text messages. The most attractive thing is the video calling function. Samsung GALAXY Tab also designed a front camera with 65438+300,000 pixels at the top of its screen, which is mainly used for video calls. As shown in the figure, the other person's head is displayed above, and his own head is displayed below.

★ Samsung GALAXY Tab VS iPad online comparison

Samsung GALAXY Tab's built-in browser has excellent web browsing speed and manipulation, and Android 2.2 also supports Flash, so tablets using Android operating system have certain advantages in web browsing. In contrast, Apple, which obstinately does not support Flash despite users' voices, is slightly inferior in browsing effect. Although the screen is bigger, it can't give users a PC-like web browsing experience like Samsung GALAXY Tab, especially in dynamic web page display and online video viewing. At present, the only websites in China that support iPad video format are Sina Video iPad Zone and Tencent Video iPad Zone, with very little content.

(Compared with GALAXY Tab, IPad can't display flash content in web pages. )

In terms of specific operation experience, both of them support multi-touch zoom-in and zoom-out key operation, and their fluency is comparable to that of iPad. Various instant messaging tools and SNS clients can also run perfectly on Samsung GALAXY Tab and iPad.

★ Comparison of business functions between Samsung GALAXY Tab and iPad

Samsung GALAXY Tab has an absolute advantage over iPad in the application of mobile office business. In addition to the communication functions mentioned before, especially the very practical videophone function, Samsung GALAXY Tab not only supports the browsing and editing operations of documents such as Word, Excel, PPT and PDF, but also fully supports multi-task background operation and Bluetooth wireless printing, taking into account all possible situations in mobile services and truly realizing the integration of mobile phones and computers.

(Use thinkfree office to view and edit PPT documents, and the interface is very friendly. )

However, the positioning of iPad is obviously biased towards entertainment and fashion, and its support for business functions is relatively weak. The lack of networking ability makes it unable to fully play its role in the process of mobile office. Although office software such as iWork can be installed on iPad, its compatibility with office tools of PC Windows system will affect the demand of real-time office more or less. Of course, if you use airbook, you won't have so many concerns.

★ Samsung GALAXY Tab VS iPad multimedia function comparison

1 ebook

Reading e-books has become one of the necessary multimedia functions of tablet terminals. On the other hand, both Samsung GALAXY Tab and iPad have a good experience. But in comparison, Samsung GALAXY Tab with 7-inch screen design is more reasonable as an e-book than iPad. You can see everything on the screen by moving your eyes without moving your head back and forth. Moreover, the lightweight fuselage will not be tired when held for a long time, and it can be easily held in the hand with one hand. The 7-inch screen is the gold size of smart tablet terminals, which is perfect for reading at ordinary times.

2 video

In terms of video playback, Samsung GALAXY Tab and iPad can also play 720p video files smoothly. GALAXY's video playback software can play mp4, MKV, AVI and WMV formats and high-definition movies smoothly, while the built-in video player of iPad only supports MP4 and mov formats, so the video resolution is limited, which makes it more troublesome to convert. Moreover, the widescreen design of Samsung GALAXY Tab 16:9: 9 and the high resolution of 1024x600 are better than the traditional 4: 3 ratio screen of iPad in video playback.

★ Samsung GALAXY Tab VS iPad game function comparison

At present, the number of applications on the iOS platform is around 300,000, which is ahead of 200,000 on the Android platform. However, in terms of popular applications, there is almost no difference between the two because of the faster and faster transplanting speed. Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja are two popular games on iOS and Android platforms, which have very high touch requirements for devices. Both Samsung GALAXY Tab and ipad have excellent multi-touch functions, and there is no essential difference when running such games. However, the free Angry Birds series of iPad can't be compared with Tab, and Samsung Tab downloads more free applications because of the openness of Android system.

★ Samsung GALAXY Tab VS iPad photo function comparison

The main camera behind the Samsung GALAXY Tab has only 3 million pixels and is equipped with a fill light. Although the photo effect can't be compared with the current mainstream 5 megapixel smartphone, for ordinary users who are not photographers, the 3 megapixel camera also has certain use value. In the photo setting, you can choose to adjust the shooting resolution, white balance, shooting effect, ISO and image quality, which is quite professional, providing the setting options needed for daily shooting, and the viewfinder is also quite large, which is very enjoyable for taking photos and shooting. Samsung GALAXY Tab provides five shooting modes, namely normal shooting, continuous shooting shooting, panoramic shooting, smiling face shooting and selfie shooting. Generally speaking, the quality of photo shooting is good.

(The imaging effect is still good)

On the other hand, the iPad has no photo function at all. The obvious disadvantage of this is that if you need to upload photos temporarily when browsing the web with iPad, you need to import them from other devices, and the inconvenience can be imagined.

Summary: Through the above experience and comparative test of Samsung GALAXY Tab and iPad, I believe you have a preliminary understanding of the performance of these two smart tablet terminals.
