This article compares the iPad 10th Gen and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9. While both products have different models, some lighter, some more powerful, this article looks at each model specifically to help you understand how they are similar and different, and which one is best for you.

Both tablets offer similar features and technical specifications, but they differ in four key areas: price, performance, security, and ecosystem.

For starters, Samsung's tablet costs about twice as much as the iPad (starting at $799 vs. $349). Samsung is likely positioning the S9 line as a competitor to its more expensive iPad Pro series, but the S9 reviewed here is the entry-level model, so it's somewhat comparable to the iPad.

Additionally, the Galaxy Tab S9 outperforms the iPad in terms of speed and processing power. However, Apple's security and privacy features are industry-leading, and its ecosystem of devices, services and tools can't be matched by Samsung.
