Thank you very much for this comparison. I own a Samsung galaxy tab s4 and I'm quite happy with it so far. Though I'm a bit jealous for procreate, but I don't fit into the Apple universe anywhere else... Still I think the art comes from the artist and not from the device or the program, and I've seen beautiful art being created with far cheaper options... 😊
Me too. I'm very happy with my Galaxy Tab S4 after replacing my old Tab Note 10.1 2014. I use Sketchbook pro and ArtFlow for my art. They work really well. Though I'm considering of buying an Apple iPad pro 13" for it's bigger screen and it's Procreate software. I wish that Samsung would bring back their 13 inch S-pen tablet version when they launch they Tab S5 premium later this year
The S pen is good enough to draw with, with all its minor flaws. I also own a Staedler Noris Digital pen, which basically looks and feels like a pencil. Tilting is a bit easier with that plus the pencil feeling :)
Yep im useing note5 and im making great art works with it .am not saying im not complaining in some places but its ok . Its even professional when using infinite painter
If you don't like the softer tip on the S pen, you can change it with the harder tip (should be the darker ones in the replacements provided in the box). This makes it great for note taking. Friction is minimal, hence the pen flows on the screen with ease.
@@pesto12601 I don't doubt that, but that expandable storage feature is very enticing. Especially when you already have spare micro SD cards lying around.
@@Enigma2K99I have micro SD cards lying around too and was going to throw them into my S9+... but, haven't had the need because the basic storage is holding it's own... 128GB on the ipad pro is plenty more than you might need.... the software and the pen is worth the slight extra cost over the tab IMO... once you use procreate and/or concepts.. .you'll be glad to have the pro.
@@pesto12601 Tell you what... loan me the money, and I'll bite. But for now, I'll stick with what I have. Not knocking it, I just don't have the money.
I just don't like Apple. But I have to admit, the Apple drawing experience seems to be better. The lagginess on Android is a bummer. Edit: Thank you for the very in-depth review!
huyked I have both and the iPad has the less reflective screen and is significantly better outdoors. Also the Tab is laggy compared to the iPad. Of course, you may get use to the lag but having both it is very noticeable. The iPad ecosystem is much better with some great apps that makes such a huge difference. Also the iPad has an up to date SOC where as the Tab has an old chipset. The iPad has far better accessories. The Tab has a glass rear which is one of the stupidest designs I have ever seen. There are far more options with the iPad from LTE to higher storage. Battery life seems similar though the standby time on the iPad is much better. The Tab S4 has a measley 4gb RAM and on Android especially Samsung that it simply not enough. Overall the iPad is an easy choice especially as you can buy the iPad Pro 10.5 for around the same price as the Tab S4. The S4 is probably the best Android Tablet but I can see why Google has given up with support for tablets, the iPad has won the war. It is a shame but with iOS 13 likely to improve the iPad experience even more, the gap is now beyond recovery.
@@johnbunyan5834 I don't like Apple in general. Overpriced for what you get. No cheap storage expansion. Dongles. Can't fix. No drag and drop files (forced to used iTunes to Sync on one computer which is a hassle) But for these two, as Teoh points out, I would like better just because I hate lagginess for drawing. Here's why I don't like Apple: ua-cam.com/video/2yJKix17yYE/v-deo.html
@@huyked - Overpriced for what you get is always an interesting argument. Apple is expensive, no question, but then you see videos like this one and you realize that there are some subtle differences that actually count when it comes to the experience. Teoh didn't compare the smaller iPad Pro, which isn't massively more expensive than the Tab 4, but now comes with USB-C and magnetic charging of the pencil. The drawing experience on that is even better, especially with twice the refresh rate. Throw in Procreate, for $10, and there's simply nothing comparable in the tablet space.
@@andyH_England Thank you for sharing your real world experience. Why did you buy these two tablets? Just wanted to test firsthand? Yes, I wouldn't like the lagginess in writing/drawing. I don't know what you mean about Apple having the better ecosystem. I always disliked that they did the dongle thing to sell overpriced dongles. Crazy! Glass rear would be a nightmare for dropping. But I did drop an old ipad (someone gave me) from a chair and unfortunately it landed on the corner front display and shattered. Sensitive electronics that are heavy like tablets just aren't meant to be dropped? LOL. You can buy the LTE version for the Tab S4. What more options on Apple versus Galaxy? You can expand the memory with the Galaxy with a cheaper microSD and swap it easily compared to Apple. Measly 4GB ram on Galaxy Tab S4?! What?! You can't even find the ram spec on the official Apple site! www.apple.com/ipad/compare/ It looks like it is only 3GB of ram for the 2019 version for the iPad Air. Come on! At least Samsung lists the ram spec for all to see. Okay, you talked about the iPad Pro 10.5. It's 4GB, too, so... lol Measly 4GB comment just doesn't compute. Video wise, the Galaxy S4 is 4K (30fps) vs. Apple Air is 1080p. Pro 10.5 is 4K (60fps) Apple is just too shady for me: ua-cam.com/video/2yJKix17yYE/v-deo.html Your conclusion is interesting (though, not necessarily agreed upon) about how you think Apple has won the tablet war. I certainly hope not for competition/pricing sake.
huyked hi. With regard to RAM the two OS’es operate differently and I am confident 4gb on the iPad is as good as 6gb on a Samsung device. I certainly have never had any issues with the iPad, but my Pixel 3XL with 4gb has been very poor. I get glass breaks and it just seems silly to put more glass in a product that is mobile? Yes, the glass display will break but what is the reason to put on the rear? I will answer that, it is cheaper. I use the tablets in an Enterprise environment and SD card readers are off limits as they are removable and an audit nightmare. I used both devices to see if Samsung had improved over the years. My previous experience was bad and seeing all the creators hyping the Tab I thought I ours try it. It is ok, and if you are happy with ok then fine, but with Apple giving 5-6 years of updates and Samsung probably 1-2 on the Tab S4 and it clearly being an inferior device I can see why Android tablets are dying. Sony, Google, LG and most of the big guns have given up on premium tablets. I agree, with Windows tablets dead in the water and Google stopping supporting Android Tablets it is not good for consumers. However it was a bad business model, freeware (Android ) used by any company to make a tablet is usually a recipe for disaster, as competition reduces margins and leads to cost cutting. The market is fractured with no one company able to make it pay. That is what Apple got so right and even though the youth market hates the iOS closed system, it means a business can have a long term business plan rather than making a quick buck and then giving up. Cheers.
form my note 2014 version : -samsung s-pen had 2 differrent pen tips (which was never mention in the manual). there are the plastic and rubber-like one . -most of samsung s-pen are not that large but TAB s4 's pen was design like an old style ballpoint pen. if you prefer the cone shape tip like apple pencil. you must buy 3rd party s-pen alternatives or staedler version s-pen.
I was always an android user but bought an ipad pro for drawing, is great, but if I had to choose again I would buy the tab s4, because i dont like the apple ecosystem, so really take that into account
so why dont you just sell your iPad Pro to buy the tab s4? im sure you will even keep some money after buying the s4 ;) in my opinion, its just not worth it, the s4 has a bad aspect ratio for drawing, Wacom technology directly on the displays is trash compared to Apple Pencil, and Apps on the iPad Pro runs a lot smoother, you even had clip studio paint.... BUT HEY! gotta hate apple because why not!? :V TLDR, im sure you will never change the iPad Pro for the tab s4 if you're really using it for drawing so stop your bullshit plz, so very cool, thanks you very much. bye
@@ManuelSalcedo i will not sell it because I would loose money by doing that, all the money that I put into apps too... I said that it is great but I dont like it as much, I cant transfer files by just conecting a usb and cant screen mirror without apple tv, cant tranfer my files without itunes in my pc... Actually I prefer tab s4 aspect ratio for movies and I wouldnt mind it for drawkng
@@vimarioly5763 That`s my problem with the apple environment too, that they keep you in custody in their very narrow (though very tempting) world... I once had an iMac, an iPhone and the very first iPad in my not-so-small city, but I didn`t like those restrictions you already mentioned. But that`s personal preference. Everybody their own... Just wonder how many more customers Apple could get by just allowing bluetooth and usb to work normally...
@@janinee6733 If they put a normal file transfer and exploration system into the ipad (no need for itunes, less restrictions etc) and a micro sd slot, I'd buy the ipad immediatly. In the meantime... Heh, it's just a well made but expensive toy.
sam also Apple has a far greater richness in apps that actually work! I use many apps for professional illustration and design work with my IPad Pro. Plus I’m using Lumina Fusion, Cuba’s etc. Now that PadOS is out the iPad Pro will go further and open up for more professional use.
Paul Byrd Doesn’t it bend easily though? I feel like theres no use buying something that you can’t even move freely without it being damaged. Especially something that you gotta carry around
My iPad Pro hasn’t bent! I do have it in a unicorn beetle case. I have also taken it out the case about 6-7 times with no incident and carry my iPad in a bag all the time. I’m convinced anyone who has a bent iPad isn’t properly taking care of it! Then again I use my for professional use so maybe I’m just more careful than others.
Hmm... maybe my eyes deceive me but at 5:00 the S-Pen is NOT directly over the cursor and I see lag while at 5:40 the Pencil is directly over where "cursor" (Apple doesn't show you the cursor) is and there is NO lag. I don't like the feel of the Pencil but every time I have used one - it is the most accurate stylus around.
@@sextionmirror if I'm going to be honest, I can see the latency but I didnt feel the difference I have a friend who has the iPad my handwriting is shit either way lmao
I just got an apple pencil with the ipad air 3, I'm using procreate. It is so much fun! I'm going to enjoy drawing my quirky little shaky sketches with undo function and layers!
i wish they made tab s3 with atleast 64gb, 32gb with almost 15 to 18gb usable makes it cumbersome for me.i havent had that much apps and games but my tabs3 was already full. expandable sd card was only usable for photos and videos. i aslo wished i had the lte version,I prefer the design of tabs3 compared to tab s4 it looks so cheap generic tablets
Spen is not powered by a battery, but there is a button that lets you switch between writing and the eraser? Also lets you bring up the options on the tablet?
Actually the difference is on app development...I have used both of them...Sure pro create is a great app with lots of features but you can also do almost everything on tab s4 with art flow or infinite painter...Even sketchbook is quite usable....So for a person who wants a drawing tablet with other functions both are great options for sketch on the go....but if you are in apple ecosystem the ipad or ipad pro are better for you!!!!
I agree. I'm not a apple fan but do agree the iPad is overall better drawing tablet. It has way better software (clip studio n procreate n affinity designer) and the Apple pencil works really well. What Samsung tablet really lack is the app. The drawing is great but not better then Apple pencil. It's a shame that not enough third party would port their app over. Wished Google would lure them over. Bummer.
@@johnbunyan5834 - From my experience as an artist I have no problem with S-pen. I can hold them naturally as I draw. I'm used with the bulky Wacom style pen so it's actually more easier to use. There are extra pen nibs you can use to replace the one from the box There's the harder tip and there's also a softer tip that you use and decide which suits you best. The Apple pen is far superior in performance though, except for the first version which is quite top heavy and that awkward way to re-charge it. The second version is much better. Much better feel. Just the right balance and size and the convenient way to re-charge. Now, if only Apple would do something about the it's price or adding it free with the Tablet itself.
@@johnbunyan5834 - Yes. Both device have their pros and cons. I for one been using Android and Windows and the jump to an Apple environment is much trouble than what's it worth, plus I love Android and Windows customization and openness. Apple has that user friendly simplicity and great optimization. I wish both devices would work together better, unfortunately the strength of each one run counter to other.
@@johnbunyan5834 what does store have to do with anything? Samsung uses the Google play store. There are many tablets on the android side. I just wish Google would persue these other developers to create drawing apps for Android. This way you can go w Samsung, Google, levono, Dell, etc tablet and still be able to use these great apps. Nothing to do w actual store. Most people still shop at best buy, Walmart, Frys over those Apple store by a wide wide margin.
@@johnbunyan5834 We are definitely arguing about two different topics. I don't care for brand loyalty. I buy all. Let me make this a little more clear for you. Back then, Windows didn't port the office suite over to mac os. Office suite (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook) back then was a huge deal especially for business and schools. Apple finally talked Microsoft into porting it over. Now Office suite are on many platform like windows, mac os, and android. All I want is for google to reach out to these other developers and have them port these wonderful apps like procreate and clip studio to android. That's all. Now any hardware developer who makes tablet that runs android, they'll benefit for having these apps. Developers like Dell, Samsung, Google, Levono, HTC, etc... I bet once Photoshop comes to both iOS and Android, these other apps will follow. Adobe already confirmed that they will launch it on android too which is great. I prefer these apps on android vs ios because they have a true file system. I love my ipad but I hate saving files, opening new files, importing files from another app, etc... The file system on iOS is pathetic and a headache to navigate. I'm tired of coming up w/ shortcuts to get around it all.
@Monkey Wrench I could get one of those for a cheap price. I want it for taking notes in university, watching movies on it and playing games from time to time. Would you still say its performing well with iPadOs? At the moment i am torn between the ipad pro 12,9 from 2015 and the Tab S4. If you could help me a little bit with my descision, I would be really happy since i could get both for an equal price.
This is a really great review but have you tried the app IbisPaint X? I've been using it for 4 years now and its really good! You would have to turn on pen pressure in the settings though.
@@al_batross3333 irrelevant we all perfectly understood him just fine no need for a grammar nazi correction. It used to be we thought that people who went around correcting other people's grammar were just plain annoying. Now there's evidence they are actually ill, suffering from a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder/oppositional defiant disorder (OCD/ODD).

on tab s4, you can remap the side button in art programs (ie use the 2nd button to switch to the color picker or eraser). You need to disable the 'aircommand' package using github.com/GoldenKappa/notSABS or package disabler pro +
Liked and watched but you know I am not into digital art at all. Still you are the man don't ever change because you are one of only two artists I watch now.
Apple Pencil is better for drawing but for note taking s pen is king followed by surface pen. Apple Pencil just glides to much and is strictly avg for note taking.
19:44 you can swipe down so the apps are in split view and the browser is no longer in the way. You can also use Duet or AstroPad to do the same thing on a computer. The iPad still has all those pros for the Tab s4 as well. While Dex is cool, AstroPad is superior
iPad Pro 11 (with USB-C and the 2nd gen pencil) would have made for a more interesting comparison, the price difference isn't that significant, but in the end, the combination of Procreate and the Apple Pencil is killer no matter what iPad you're picking up. That's especially true with the release of Procreate 4.3.
@@teohyc - They're not spec'd the same across the line. The hardware inside the Pro is better, as is the display (with a wide colour gamut), and the 2nd gen pencil has additional features (including double tap on the barrel) not in the first.
John Cavan, What are you talking about? The iPad Pro 10.5" does not have a USB C port and is not compatible with the Apple Pencil 2. The iPad Pro 10.5" has the same Lightning port as the iPad Air 3 and supports the Apple Pencil 1 just like the iPad Air 3. Please learn the specifications of the devices you are referring to before referring to them. This is extremely basic. Fifteen seconds of research would have led you to learn the actual specifications of the iPad Pro 10.5".
@@joannegrrl Yeah, the iPad Pro is significantly more powerful. From benchmarks I've seen, it's more than three times more powerful. But it's still an iPad limited by iOS features. iPad Pro drawing performance is excellent (Air 3 is too). New finger tap feature on the Apple Pencil. Nice. All that for at least US $330 more. You have to decide whether those features are worth that extra money. The 2017 iPad Pro by comparison are better value for money. Things I don't like about iOS are the file management system, no external storage functionality, text selection,, expensive internal storage capacity, LTE connectivity upgrade at a much higher price. All these got nothing to do with drawing though. With Android, downsides are the variety, quality and consistent performance of drawing apps.
@@teohyc Not sure I see iOS as all that limited in actual practice and the app quality is, truly, above the Android market. Admittedly, I'm not an active Android user these days, but I also have the Surface Book and Surface Studio as a comparison point. Some of the file management behaviour of iOS is irritating, quite true, but I agree with the general direction Apple is headed and it's also where Google is headed (and arguably leading). Back in the day, Sun Microsystems had the motto of "The Network is the Computer" and, while they may have been ahead of the game with that, they weren't wrong. Net effect? On device storage in an increasingly connected world? Not a priority, but Apple does need to handle cloud storage way better. However, none of that is really relevant, the deal breaker on the Tab S4? The stylus... Samsung does a really good job on look, feel, and composition of the device and then pairs it with that stylus? Really? Face palm. Also, as a semi-pro Photographer, I have to be honest, the specs in the iPad Pro are worth it to me and I'm definitely looking forward to the full Photoshop port coming to iOS. 😃
I once had a Galaxy Tab. The screen was nice, but it lasted 6 months before the battery died. Then I got the iPad Pro, and never got an Android device ever since, something I certainly never regretted. iPads are so much nicer than Android tablets!
I just stumbled across ur channel and I love it. On the tab S4, u can customize those options that appear when u press that button on the S Pen. In settings>advanced settings>S Pen.
It's been a couple months now since I've bought this tablet and it is great. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS The tablet is responsive and runs well. There were a few times that the tablet did an awkward thing where it would detect pen on at all times and wouldn't register finger press, but it is usually fixed by closing and opening either the screen or app. This is highly likely due to my excessive use for drawing which caused this and wasn't really very big. As I mostly enjoy using the tablet for drawing (and some light gaming), I would comment from that aspect that there is definitely more accurate pressure and drawing using a PC device and drawing tablet, however i find the moveablity of the tablet more enjoyable to draw on. Like how you can physically rotate and move a piece of paper around or even draw casually on your bed.All in all, as a tablet it is good, and as a drawing device can be good depending on what you want from a drawing device. It is definitely good enough if you just want to use it to take notes. For typing though I can't comment on the keyboard as I did not get the keyboard.
Hey Teoh! It’s cool to hear a Singaporean’s perspective on this. Could you check out concepts on the tab S4? I would like to know if the drawing experience on that app is better than the other options.
Thank you so much, Teoh, for this review. It is really hard to find a good comparison Tabs video for artists. It seems that art world is divided : Apple- or Android* people. I am so used to Android that it's gonna be hard to switch to Apple. Though I would love to have ProCreate. I have older S2 Tab and wonder if it is possible to get S-pen for it.
That tablet must support S Pen in the first place otherwise it's not likely to be compatible with S Pen. Usually those devices that are compatible with S Pen already come with them
Hi Yeoh. The new "samsung galaxy A 10.1 with s-pen 2019" will be available in my country in the next week. What is you opinion on this kind of device for note taking purpose only. I am not an artist. Thanks.
From your draw pad videos, I actually think the note 9 s pen is better and you can get more angles. Idk if you would review it for drawing. I would say the lag is less than some older android pens.
Quick question. Do you go in settings and clean memory often? I do it on my tab s3 and it significantly improves performance it’s annoying, but it helps. I also have both, and I like the iPad better, but I need TVpaint for work so that Galaxy Tab is my coffee shop solution for that app. I personally found the Spen overall better than the Apple Pencil. Mainly the friction reminds me of drawing with a Felt tip pen, which is my preferable real life way of drawing and no battery. But the performance and android quirks make me go back to iPad when I don’t need to use it. This was not a quick question. Sorry. Great review though ;)
Teoh Yi Chie inised to do that, but then someone pointed out to go into settings, and it will find software secretly hanging up your system. You will get a little percentage chart showing you how optimised your device is and corrects itself to 100%. It helps quite a lot.
@@sloppynyuszi - For my Tab S4, I went to the battery optimization App by Samsung. There is a selection where you can always put to sleep any battery/memory draining app automatically. Select those you want to be always off, then it's done. I switched from my old Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet to my Tab S4 so I can't really tell about the Tab S3 performance, from my Tab S4 I so far see no performance issues even when using multiple opened App while doing my art. I've heard news that the upcoming Tab S5 (not the Tab S5e) will be having top of the line specs and the newest processor, unlike using last years processors in the Tab S3 and S4, and will be using the new OS that is powering the Galaxy fold.
Can you do samsung tab s4 vs samsung chromebook pro comparison? Also see if the pens are interchangeable and work flawlessly on either one? You seem like the only youtuber who reviewed tablets and goes down to the nitty gritty. Thanks if you decide to do so. Also will be great to see comparison between chromebooks. For taking notes and light drawing.
@@teohyc any reason why? They have 12" screens and pen support... And built in keyboard. They seem pretty good all around... If u do find one tho will be great. But thanks anyway 👍
Very good video Ideally i want to use this for two purpose -- mainly travel where i can do my work i.e checking emails mainly google apps the other would be kids to watch their youtube and draw ... which one would you recommend in terms of S4 vs air - given that children involved so i need to consider durability . looking forward to your response
Google Apps are available on both iOS and Android. I do feel drawing apps on iOS are better. With Air 3, Apple Pencil is sold separately. Both tablets are good. If i were to choose between the two, I probably go with iPad Air because Apple Pencil is really good for drawing.
Hi! I loved your video so much, it was really helpfull. Im currently thinking about buying sams s4. Im on my last grade in highschool and if I get enough point I will study in the animation and art department in a university. As I learned there is a Wacom lab in there so I will be able to use at least a wacom device. But my actual question in here: I started think about buying a samsung or ipad since I need a personel computer to use for browsing, writing etc. and especially drawing. I changed my mind about buying an Intuos Draw since it needs a computer to connect ,which is not useful for me, and one of my art teacher told me that using a device like that would harm my drawing skills on traditional art. So is Samsung tab s4 suitable for using as a mini laptop ( I dont require high performans ) for a new uni student like me? Im terribly sorry if this comment was too long and boring but I needed to write almost the whole situation because people sometimes having a hard time to understand what Im telling. Btw I live in Turkey if this will help for replies.
Im already aware of this. I just wonder if I can use Sams tab s4 as a laptop or a drawing tablet. I can be count as a art student, so will s4 be helpfull for me with school and animated projects? Most of people around me do not recommend ipad mostly because of its high price and limitations. Anyway thanks for the reply I will visit an electronic store to learn more about this later.
Well as a novice artist, I just want to get my feet wet and draw sketches and get better as I go. I'm leaning more towards tab S4. I heard Ibis paint X is good along with artbook sketch. Do most people use one single app or many and make edits? Asking for myself lol
I just bought the ipad pro for online teaching. But found that the tip produces a lot of clicking noise while writing, students find it really unbearable during live sessions. Can you please help me with this?
800+ for an apple ipad vs 600+ for an samsung. Thanks for the review. been looking for this kind of review for 2 days. I just wished that I found your review when I was looking into buy an art tablet, now I got one I can't draw on.
Can you replace the nibs on the S-Pen, like you can on Wacom / XP-Pen ? I never hear about people replacing the nibs on the Apple pencil, is that a thing? Thanks.
to be frank i dont think sammy focus so much on drawing on their tablets then apple , apple always seem to be on the artsy side ? andriod is just a fuss free OS, good all rounder multi media tablet
Hi , I actaully want to use for not taking and making mathematical equations and using more as a scratch to temporarily calculate or make proces diagrams. Though, I like a need handwriting , precision should be very good and accurate, that is actually what I am looking for. I don't care about media watching, it is mainly use is for note taking. Though, I like high quality screen..with a premuim feel.. what would you reccomend?
I would like to ask you, actually, I'm considering to buy between Samsung Tab S4 / Ipad Pro 10.5 (2017) / Ipad Air 3 (2019). I kinda have a budget. I'm going to use it for drawing, tracing picture (using Adobe sketch & Adobe draw), and doing some notes. I've been looking at youtube and they said, it's better to buy Ipad Pro (2017) because of the spec is the same, but better. But my friend said that it's better to buy ipad air 2019 because it released this year. And about the price, it almost the same, more higher Ipad pro 2017 because I still need to buy the Apple pen. Do you have any opinion? Thank you!
I have been dealing with the same issue. I'm a faithful samsung user.. but their tablets barely receive software update, making the device slow and laggy over time. I'm planning to buy the ipad air 2019. Apple usually provides 5 years of updates..so The 2017 ipad pro has approximately 2 years left of updates.
@@bebeyeye386 yeah, but 5th thing with android is that even when updates stop, you can still have the latest os, even if your tab is supported via custom roms, whereas on iPad once they stop supporting updates that's it... There are no custom roms. You are forced to update.
What kind of app did you use on ISO ? Why did you show them in the video? 🙄 Does anyone know that iPad Air has pen pressed translates like galaxy note ? I wish iPad has that feature 😞
I’m glad to get ur response, because My Drawing experience was bad due to my screen protector . I just think get a new protector or just keep my screen free
I am a beginner artist. I scan my sketches into my pc in order to digitally outline and color it. If I were purchase a iPad, could I transfer my scanned sketch that is in my Windows PC to an Apple iPad via a usb cord?
If you use cable transfer, it would depend on whether that drawing app has a folder in iTunes. You can only transfer through iTunes. The easier way is actually to just upload to the cloud, eg Google Drive, and then download it onto your iPad. Or if the file is not too big, just email yourself.
The Tab S4 seems to have potentials however Samsung is known for their late updates and after one year the Tab S4 will be outdated and no more updates (maybe). iPads on the other hand are updated on timely manner.
does the samsung tab s4 have palm rejection??? im trying to buy one tommorow maybe and im trying to make the purchase decision because the palm rejection is the only thing that is holding me back from buying the tab s4!! pls respond soon ;-;

Ich male gerne digital und möchte gerne ein tablet kaufen wahrscheinlich das s4 oder s6 da alle meine Produkte Android sind und ich noch nie mit Apple gearbeitet habe allerdings weiß ich nicht ob es vlt doch besser wäre mir ein i pad zu holen da es bessere Software zum zeichnen gibt.

Und ich mag Apple nicht weil alles so verschlossen ist kann mir hiermit vlt jemand helfen ? Verpasse ich auf einem Samsung tab zu viel??
Hello. Not an artist here. I am deciding between both. I am able to get the S4 for 420 EUR and the iPad Air 2019 for 500 EUR. I will mostly use device for browsing the web, UA-cam and occasionally drawing doodles for fun. And I suppose 95% of the time I will be using it in portrait mode, on top of my knee while I rest on my couch. So I was wondering is the overall experience on the S4 significantly worse than the one on the iPad (in respect of smoothness of operation, mainly in browsing, and in respect of ease of use with one hand, as well as typing on the screen). I will appreciate if someone shares his opinion. :)
Teoh Yi Chie Thank you for the immediate response. I have almost decided to buy it, but there is some fear in me that basic operations in the S4 will suffer in the long run and that Apple’s browsing experience will be better because developers recognize iOS it as the standard for tablets and don’t bother with optimizing android experience. I am an iPhone user that switched from a galaxy device because of how steady the system runs while performing basic tasks like opening contacts, browsing the image gallery etc, but man, I hate how everything is restricted, especially the file transfer. So the unchained system is what draws me to get the android tablet but if the everyday use is cumbersome I will deeply regret the purchase because I really don’t need a tablet and 500 EUR will be better spent somewhere else. If the iPad was little cheaper and the god damned apple pencil was not 110 EUR, but maybe half, then I would bet on Apple.
lol, looks like u do the same thing I do. hold two pencils like I'm holding chopsticks. I tried one time to hold two pencils like chopsticks and draw like that in my hands.
nop, its trashy - Chinese-spying plastic tablet with the lowest end Wacom tech(which inst good anyway on displays) with very low specs(just enough power to spy on your data)
Nice review. I notice that you link to the Wimaxit portable touch monitor, but actually you are linking to the one star version, there is another one by the same company that looks better and comes with a display cover/stand hybrid. www.amazon.com/WIMAXIT-Portable-Monitor-1920x1080-Built/dp/B07J53B7NS (not an affiliate link)

@@teohyc Thank you:) Your videos are very helpful 👍🏻
Stylus bought from tablet tab s3. It is more convernient.
Thank you very much for this comparison. I own a Samsung galaxy tab s4 and I'm quite happy with it so far. Though I'm a bit jealous for procreate, but I don't fit into the Apple universe anywhere else...
Still I think the art comes from the artist and not from the device or the program, and I've seen beautiful art being created with far cheaper options... 😊
Me too. I'm very happy with my Galaxy Tab S4 after replacing my old Tab Note 10.1 2014. I use Sketchbook pro and ArtFlow for my art. They work really well. Though I'm considering of buying an Apple iPad pro 13" for it's bigger screen and it's Procreate software. I wish that Samsung would bring back their 13 inch S-pen tablet version when they launch they Tab S5 premium later this year
Procreate isn't that great. It's only great if you use a tablet
Tab S4 here as well. Moved away from Apple. More flexibility on the Tab S4. The S pen has hard tips as well, why not mention it?
The S pen is good enough to draw with, with all its minor flaws. I also own a Staedler Noris Digital pen, which basically looks and feels like a pencil. Tilting is a bit easier with that plus the pencil feeling :)
Yep im useing note5 and im making great art works with it .am not saying im not complaining in some places but its ok . Its even professional when using infinite painter
If you don't like the softer tip on the S pen, you can change it with the harder tip (should be the darker ones in the replacements provided in the box).
This makes it great for note taking. Friction is minimal, hence the pen flows on the screen with ease.
Cheaper, with expandable storage. And they wonder why some of us prefer the Galaxy Tab? I just wish there was more art app support for it.
Just buy a used ipad pro... I got one for a VERY good price... works perfectly and the apple pencil is just amazing!
@@pesto12601 I don't doubt that, but that expandable storage feature is very enticing. Especially when you already have spare micro SD cards lying around.
@@Enigma2K99I have micro SD cards lying around too and was going to throw them into my S9+... but, haven't had the need because the basic storage is holding it's own... 128GB on the ipad pro is plenty more than you might need.... the software and the pen is worth the slight extra cost over the tab IMO... once you use procreate and/or concepts.. .you'll be glad to have the pro.
@@pesto12601 Tell you what... loan me the money, and I'll bite. But for now, I'll stick with what I have. Not knocking it, I just don't have the money.
@@Enigma2K99 - the price difference is minimal if buying used. For example: Galaxy Tab S3 can be had for $300 used... ipad pro 10.5... $360!
I like your quiet, concise way if speaking. You have a pleasant, gentle voice :)
Thanks 😁
@@teohyc You're welcome
I just don't like Apple. But I have to admit, the Apple drawing experience seems to be better. The lagginess on Android is a bummer.
Edit: Thank you for the very in-depth review!
huyked I have both and the iPad has the less reflective screen and is significantly better outdoors.
Also the Tab is laggy compared to the iPad. Of course, you may get use to the lag but having both it is very noticeable.
The iPad ecosystem is much better with some great apps that makes such a huge difference.
Also the iPad has an up to date SOC where as the Tab has an old chipset.
The iPad has far better accessories. The Tab has a glass rear which is one of the stupidest designs I have ever seen.
There are far more options with the iPad from LTE to higher storage.
Battery life seems similar though the standby time on the iPad is much better.
The Tab S4 has a measley 4gb RAM and on Android especially Samsung that it simply not enough.
Overall the iPad is an easy choice especially as you can buy the iPad Pro 10.5 for around the same price as the Tab S4. The S4 is probably the best Android Tablet but I can see why Google has given up with support for tablets, the iPad has won the war. It is a shame but with iOS 13 likely to improve the iPad experience even more, the gap is now beyond recovery.
@@johnbunyan5834
I don't like Apple in general. Overpriced for what you get. No cheap storage expansion. Dongles. Can't fix. No drag and drop files (forced to used iTunes to Sync on one computer which is a hassle)
But for these two, as Teoh points out, I would like better just because I hate lagginess for drawing. Here's why I don't like Apple: ua-cam.com/video/2yJKix17yYE/v-deo.html
@@huyked - Overpriced for what you get is always an interesting argument. Apple is expensive, no question, but then you see videos like this one and you realize that there are some subtle differences that actually count when it comes to the experience. Teoh didn't compare the smaller iPad Pro, which isn't massively more expensive than the Tab 4, but now comes with USB-C and magnetic charging of the pencil. The drawing experience on that is even better, especially with twice the refresh rate. Throw in Procreate, for $10, and there's simply nothing comparable in the tablet space.
@@andyH_England
Thank you for sharing your real world experience. Why did you buy these two tablets? Just wanted to test firsthand?
Yes, I wouldn't like the lagginess in writing/drawing.
I don't know what you mean about Apple having the better ecosystem. I always disliked that they did the dongle thing to sell overpriced dongles. Crazy!
Glass rear would be a nightmare for dropping. But I did drop an old ipad (someone gave me) from a chair and unfortunately it landed on the corner front display and shattered. Sensitive electronics that are heavy like tablets just aren't meant to be dropped? LOL.
You can buy the LTE version for the Tab S4. What more options on Apple versus Galaxy? You can expand the memory with the Galaxy with a cheaper microSD and swap it easily compared to Apple.
Measly 4GB ram on Galaxy Tab S4?! What?! You can't even find the ram spec on the official Apple site! www.apple.com/ipad/compare/
It looks like it is only 3GB of ram for the 2019 version for the iPad Air. Come on! At least Samsung lists the ram spec for all to see. Okay, you talked about the iPad Pro 10.5. It's 4GB, too, so... lol Measly 4GB comment just doesn't compute.
Video wise, the Galaxy S4 is 4K (30fps) vs. Apple Air is 1080p. Pro 10.5 is 4K (60fps)
Apple is just too shady for me: ua-cam.com/video/2yJKix17yYE/v-deo.html
Your conclusion is interesting (though, not necessarily agreed upon) about how you think Apple has won the tablet war. I certainly hope not for competition/pricing sake.
huyked hi.
With regard to RAM the two OS’es operate differently and I am confident 4gb on the iPad is as good as 6gb on a Samsung device. I certainly have never had any issues with the iPad, but my Pixel 3XL with 4gb has been very poor.
I get glass breaks and it just seems silly to put more glass in a product that is mobile? Yes, the glass display will break but what is the reason to put on the rear? I will answer that, it is cheaper.
I use the tablets in an Enterprise environment and SD card readers are off limits as they are removable and an audit nightmare.
I used both devices to see if Samsung had improved over the years. My previous experience was bad and seeing all the creators hyping the Tab I thought I ours try it. It is ok, and if you are happy with ok then fine, but with Apple giving 5-6 years of updates and Samsung probably 1-2 on the Tab S4 and it clearly being an inferior device I can see why Android tablets are dying. Sony, Google, LG and most of the big guns have given up on premium tablets.
I agree, with Windows tablets dead in the water and Google stopping supporting Android Tablets it is not good for consumers. However it was a bad business model, freeware (Android ) used by any company to make a tablet is usually a recipe for disaster, as competition reduces margins and leads to cost cutting. The market is fractured with no one company able to make it pay. That is what Apple got so right and even though the youth market hates the iOS closed system, it means a business can have a long term business plan rather than making a quick buck and then giving up.
Cheers.
form my note 2014 version :
-samsung s-pen had 2 differrent pen tips (which was never mention in the manual). there are the plastic and rubber-like one .
-most of samsung s-pen are not that large but TAB s4 's pen was design like an old style ballpoint pen. if you prefer the cone shape tip like apple pencil. you must buy 3rd party s-pen alternatives or staedler version s-pen.
Yeah I have the Staedler S Pen and it's quite nice, people often mistake it for am actual pencil though lol
4:20 i have a trick for that . keep pressing on the button and click on the screen 👍 im doing that all the time on my note 5
I was always an android user but bought an ipad pro for drawing, is great, but if I had to choose again I would buy the tab s4, because i dont like the apple ecosystem, so really take that into account
so why dont you just sell your iPad Pro to buy the tab s4? im sure you will even keep some money after buying the s4 ;)
in my opinion, its just not worth it, the s4 has a bad aspect ratio for drawing, Wacom technology directly on the displays is trash compared to Apple Pencil, and Apps on the iPad Pro runs a lot smoother, you even had clip studio paint.... BUT HEY! gotta hate apple because why not!? :V
TLDR, im sure you will never change the iPad Pro for the tab s4 if you're really using it for drawing so stop your bullshit plz, so very cool, thanks you very much. bye
@@ManuelSalcedo i will not sell it because I would loose money by doing that, all the money that I put into apps too... I said that it is great but I dont like it as much, I cant transfer files by just conecting a usb and cant screen mirror without apple tv, cant tranfer my files without itunes in my pc... Actually I prefer tab s4 aspect ratio for movies and I wouldnt mind it for drawkng
@@vimarioly5763 That`s my problem with the apple environment too, that they keep you in custody in their very narrow (though very tempting) world... I once had an iMac, an iPhone and the very first iPad in my not-so-small city, but I didn`t like those restrictions you already mentioned. But that`s personal preference. Everybody their own... Just wonder how many more customers Apple could get by just allowing bluetooth and usb to work normally...
@@janinee6733 If they put a normal file transfer and exploration system into the ipad (no need for itunes, less restrictions etc) and a micro sd slot, I'd buy the ipad immediatly. In the meantime... Heh, it's just a well made but expensive toy.
Vimarioly you can connect external hardrives now
I’ve drawn on both! iPad Pro is god in this discussion.
agree it has 120ghz while both air3 and s4 has 60ghz
sam also Apple has a far greater richness in apps that actually work! I use many apps for professional illustration and design work with my IPad Pro. Plus I’m using Lumina Fusion, Cuba’s etc. Now that PadOS is out the iPad Pro will go further and open up for more professional use.
Yeah I love the feature that I can bend it and waste my wallet to fix it
Paul Byrd Doesn’t it bend easily though? I feel like theres no use buying something that you can’t even move freely without it being damaged. Especially something that you gotta carry around
My iPad Pro hasn’t bent! I do have it in a unicorn beetle case. I have also taken it out the case about 6-7 times with no incident and carry my iPad in a bag all the time. I’m convinced anyone who has a bent iPad isn’t properly taking care of it! Then again I use my for professional use so maybe I’m just more careful than others.
I love your video. You are clearly trying to give both a fair review. Thank you
Hmm... maybe my eyes deceive me but at 5:00 the S-Pen is NOT directly over the cursor and I see lag while at 5:40 the Pencil is directly over where "cursor" (Apple doesn't show you the cursor) is and there is NO lag.
I don't like the feel of the Pencil but every time I have used one - it is the most accurate stylus around.
Tbh I have the tabs4 and idk what "lag" your talking about
potatoe leo Latency of drawing. You can directly compare between two device.
@@sextionmirror if I'm going to be honest, I can see the latency but I didnt feel the difference I have a friend who has the iPad my handwriting is shit either way lmao
@@sextionmirror I only use the pens for doing math equations and other math related stuff
Excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for
I just got an apple pencil with the ipad air 3, I'm using procreate. It is so much fun! I'm going to enjoy drawing my quirky little shaky sketches with undo function and layers!
i wish they made tab s3 with atleast 64gb, 32gb with almost 15 to 18gb usable makes it cumbersome for me.i havent had that much apps and games but my tabs3 was already full. expandable sd card was only usable for photos and videos. i aslo wished i had the lte version,I prefer the design of tabs3 compared to tab s4 it looks so cheap generic tablets
Spen is not powered by a battery, but there is a button that lets you switch between writing and the eraser? Also lets you bring up the options on the tablet?
Actually the difference is on app development...I have used both of them...Sure pro create is a great app with lots of features but you can also do almost everything on tab s4 with art flow or infinite painter...Even sketchbook is quite usable....So for a person who wants a drawing tablet with other functions both are great options for sketch on the go....but if you are in apple ecosystem the ipad or ipad pro are better for you!!!!
I have Sketchbook. It’s a joke compared to procreate
To be honest as a tab s4 user, it's a shame that tab s4's spen really sucks.. so I just use remodeled form of spen using sarasa clip's pen body.
I agree. I'm not a apple fan but do agree the iPad is overall better drawing tablet. It has way better software (clip studio n procreate n affinity designer) and the Apple pencil works really well.
What Samsung tablet really lack is the app. The drawing is great but not better then Apple pencil. It's a shame that not enough third party would port their app over. Wished Google would lure them over. Bummer.
@@johnbunyan5834 - From my experience as an artist I have no problem with S-pen. I can hold them naturally as I draw. I'm used with the bulky Wacom style pen so it's actually more easier to use. There are extra pen nibs you can use to replace the one from the box There's the harder tip and there's also a softer tip that you use and decide which suits you best. The Apple pen is far superior in performance though, except for the first version which is quite top heavy and that awkward way to re-charge it. The second version is much better. Much better feel. Just the right balance and size and the convenient way to re-charge. Now, if only Apple would do something about the it's price or adding it free with the Tablet itself.
@@johnbunyan5834 - Yes. Both device have their pros and cons. I for one been using Android and Windows and the jump to an Apple environment is much trouble than what's it worth, plus I love Android and Windows customization and openness. Apple has that user friendly simplicity and great optimization. I wish both devices would work together better, unfortunately the strength of each one run counter to other.
@@johnbunyan5834 what does store have to do with anything? Samsung uses the Google play store. There are many tablets on the android side. I just wish Google would persue these other developers to create drawing apps for Android. This way you can go w Samsung, Google, levono, Dell, etc tablet and still be able to use these great apps. Nothing to do w actual store. Most people still shop at best buy, Walmart, Frys over those Apple store by a wide wide margin.
@@johnbunyan5834 We are definitely arguing about two different topics. I don't care for brand loyalty. I buy all. Let me make this a little more clear for you. Back then, Windows didn't port the office suite over to mac os. Office suite (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook) back then was a huge deal especially for business and schools. Apple finally talked Microsoft into porting it over. Now Office suite are on many platform like windows, mac os, and android.
All I want is for google to reach out to these other developers and have them port these wonderful apps like procreate and clip studio to android. That's all.
Now any hardware developer who makes tablet that runs android, they'll benefit for having these apps. Developers like Dell, Samsung, Google, Levono, HTC, etc... I bet once Photoshop comes to both iOS and Android, these other apps will follow. Adobe already confirmed that they will launch it on android too which is great. I prefer these apps on android vs ios because they have a true file system.
I love my ipad but I hate saving files, opening new files, importing files from another app, etc... The file system on iOS is pathetic and a headache to navigate. I'm tired of coming up w/ shortcuts to get around it all.
Awesome vid I am about to get a Apple iPad Air 3 to thank you for telling me which one is better in drawing
@Monkey Wrench I could get one of those for a cheap price. I want it for taking notes in university, watching movies on it and playing games from time to time. Would you still say its performing well with iPadOs? At the moment i am torn between the ipad pro 12,9 from 2015 and the Tab S4. If you could help me a little bit with my descision, I would be really happy since i could get both for an equal price.
This is a really great review but have you tried the app IbisPaint X? I've been using it for 4 years now and its really good! You would have to turn on pen pressure in the settings though.
I've not tried that before. Thanks for the suggestion

on tab s4, you can remap the side button in art programs (ie use the 2nd button to switch to the color picker or eraser). You need to disable the 'aircommand' package using github.com/GoldenKappa/notSABS or package disabler pro +

@@teohyc You are very welcome sir..
Apple Pencil is better for drawing but for note taking s pen is king followed by surface pen. Apple Pencil just glides to much and is strictly avg for note taking.
19:44 you can swipe down so the apps are in split view and the browser is no longer in the way. You can also use Duet or AstroPad to do the same thing on a computer. The iPad still has all those pros for the Tab s4 as well. While Dex is cool, AstroPad is superior
Thank u sir
Really needed this video
iPad Pro 11 (with USB-C and the 2nd gen pencil) would have made for a more interesting comparison, the price difference isn't that significant, but in the end, the combination of Procreate and the Apple Pencil is killer no matter what iPad you're picking up. That's especially true with the release of Procreate 4.3.
iPad Pro is still an iPad
@@teohyc - They're not spec'd the same across the line. The hardware inside the Pro is better, as is the display (with a wide colour gamut), and the 2nd gen pencil has additional features (including double tap on the barrel) not in the first.
John Cavan, What are you talking about? The iPad Pro 10.5" does not have a USB C port and is not compatible with the Apple Pencil 2. The iPad Pro 10.5" has the same Lightning port as the iPad Air 3 and supports the Apple Pencil 1 just like the iPad Air 3. Please learn the specifications of the devices you are referring to before referring to them. This is extremely basic. Fifteen seconds of research would have led you to learn the actual specifications of the iPad Pro 10.5".
@@joannegrrl Yeah, the iPad Pro is significantly more powerful. From benchmarks I've seen, it's more than three times more powerful. But it's still an iPad limited by iOS features. iPad Pro drawing performance is excellent (Air 3 is too). New finger tap feature on the Apple Pencil. Nice. All that for at least US $330 more. You have to decide whether those features are worth that extra money. The 2017 iPad Pro by comparison are better value for money.
Things I don't like about iOS are the file management system, no external storage functionality, text selection,, expensive internal storage capacity, LTE connectivity upgrade at a much higher price. All these got nothing to do with drawing though. With Android, downsides are the variety, quality and consistent performance of drawing apps.
@@teohyc Not sure I see iOS as all that limited in actual practice and the app quality is, truly, above the Android market. Admittedly, I'm not an active Android user these days, but I also have the Surface Book and Surface Studio as a comparison point. Some of the file management behaviour of iOS is irritating, quite true, but I agree with the general direction Apple is headed and it's also where Google is headed (and arguably leading). Back in the day, Sun Microsystems had the motto of "The Network is the Computer" and, while they may have been ahead of the game with that, they weren't wrong. Net effect? On device storage in an increasingly connected world? Not a priority, but Apple does need to handle cloud storage way better.
However, none of that is really relevant, the deal breaker on the Tab S4? The stylus... Samsung does a really good job on look, feel, and composition of the device and then pairs it with that stylus? Really? Face palm.
Also, as a semi-pro Photographer, I have to be honest, the specs in the iPad Pro are worth it to me and I'm definitely looking forward to the full Photoshop port coming to iOS. 😃
I once had a Galaxy Tab. The screen was nice, but it lasted 6 months before the battery died. Then I got the iPad Pro, and never got an Android device ever since, something I certainly never regretted.
iPads are so much nicer than Android tablets!
I just stumbled across ur channel and I love it. On the tab S4, u can customize those options that appear when u press that button on the S Pen. In settings>advanced settings>S Pen.
Samsung has finally allowed Air Command to be turned off in latest update.
Good to know because I just got one for my birthday
It's been a couple months now since I've bought this tablet and it is great. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS The tablet is responsive and runs well. There were a few times that the tablet did an awkward thing where it would detect pen on at all times and wouldn't register finger press, but it is usually fixed by closing and opening either the screen or app. This is highly likely due to my excessive use for drawing which caused this and wasn't really very big. As I mostly enjoy using the tablet for drawing (and some light gaming), I would comment from that aspect that there is definitely more accurate pressure and drawing using a PC device and drawing tablet, however i find the moveablity of the tablet more enjoyable to draw on. Like how you can physically rotate and move a piece of paper around or even draw casually on your bed.All in all, as a tablet it is good, and as a drawing device can be good depending on what you want from a drawing device. It is definitely good enough if you just want to use it to take notes. For typing though I can't comment on the keyboard as I did not get the keyboard.
The 3:4 format of the ipad is very better for drawing and writing. Thanks Teoh.
the samsung has a larger screen, you ca think of the samsung as 3:4 just with extra space.
Hey Teoh! It’s cool to hear a Singaporean’s perspective on this. Could you check out concepts on the tab S4? I would like to know if the drawing experience on that app is better than the other options.
Nice Video! Your content is very useful :)
Thank you 😁
Thank you so much, Teoh, for this review. It is really hard to find a good comparison Tabs video for artists. It seems that art world is divided : Apple- or Android* people. I am so used to Android that it's gonna be hard to switch to Apple. Though I would love to have ProCreate. I have older S2 Tab and wonder if it is possible to get S-pen for it.
That tablet must support S Pen in the first place otherwise it's not likely to be compatible with S Pen. Usually those devices that are compatible with S Pen already come with them

Teoh Yi Chie Thank you sir.
Theres just no competition. Thats it.
Hi Yeoh. The new "samsung galaxy A 10.1 with s-pen 2019" will be available in my country in the next week. What is you opinion on this kind of device for note taking purpose only. I am not an artist. Thanks.
Another excellent review. I wonder if Procreate are working on an Android version. Thank you!
Most likely not.
From your draw pad videos, I actually think the note 9 s pen is better and you can get more angles. Idk if you would review it for drawing. I would say the lag is less than some older android pens.
Quick question. Do you go in settings and clean memory often? I do it on my tab s3 and it significantly improves performance it’s annoying, but it helps. I also have both, and I like the iPad better, but I need TVpaint for work so that Galaxy Tab is my coffee shop solution for that app. I personally found the Spen overall better than the Apple Pencil. Mainly the friction reminds me of drawing with a Felt tip pen, which is my preferable real life way of drawing and no battery. But the performance and android quirks make me go back to iPad when I don’t need to use it. This was not a quick question. Sorry. Great review though ;)
My way of cleaning memory is to quit all the apps once in a while.
Teoh Yi Chie inised to do that, but then someone pointed out to go into settings, and it will find software secretly hanging up your system. You will get a little percentage chart showing you how optimised your device is and corrects itself to 100%. It helps quite a lot.
@@sloppynyuszi - For my Tab S4, I went to the battery optimization App by Samsung. There is a selection where you can always put to sleep any battery/memory draining app automatically. Select those you want to be always off, then it's done. I switched from my old Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet to my Tab S4 so I can't really tell about the Tab S3 performance, from my Tab S4 I so far see no performance issues even when using multiple opened App while doing my art. I've heard news that the upcoming Tab S5 (not the Tab S5e) will be having top of the line specs and the newest processor, unlike using last years processors in the Tab S3 and S4, and will be using the new OS that is powering the Galaxy fold.
Can you do samsung tab s4 vs samsung chromebook pro comparison? Also see if the pens are interchangeable and work flawlessly on either one? You seem like the only youtuber who reviewed tablets and goes down to the nitty gritty. Thanks if you decide to do so. Also will be great to see comparison between chromebooks.

Very good video
Ideally i want to use this for two purpose -- mainly travel where i can do my work i.e checking emails mainly google apps
the other would be kids to watch their youtube and draw ...
which one would you recommend in terms of S4 vs air - given that children involved so i need to consider durability .
looking forward to your response
Google Apps are available on both iOS and Android. I do feel drawing apps on iOS are better. With Air 3, Apple Pencil is sold separately. Both tablets are good. If i were to choose between the two, I probably go with iPad Air because Apple Pencil is really good for drawing.
iPad is way better than the other
Thanks for the comparison, I'm very impressed. Very detailed and much appreciated!
Hi! I loved your video so much, it was really helpfull.
Im currently thinking about buying sams s4. Im on my last grade in highschool and if I get enough point I will study in the animation and art department in a university. As I learned there is a Wacom lab in there so I will be able to use at least a wacom device.
But my actual question in here: I started think about buying a samsung or ipad since I need a personel computer to use for browsing, writing etc. and especially drawing. I changed my mind about buying an Intuos Draw since it needs a computer to connect ,which is not useful for me, and one of my art teacher told me that using a device like that would harm my drawing skills on traditional art.
So is Samsung tab s4 suitable for using as a mini laptop ( I dont require high performans ) for a new uni student like me?
Im terribly sorry if this comment was too long and boring but I needed to write almost the whole situation because people sometimes having a hard time to understand what Im telling. Btw I live in Turkey if this will help for replies.
For drawing I will recommend iPad because the drawing apps are better
Im already aware of this. I just wonder if I can use Sams tab s4 as a laptop or a drawing tablet. I can be count as a art student, so will s4 be helpfull for me with school and animated projects? Most of people around me do not recommend ipad mostly because of its high price and limitations.
Anyway thanks for the reply I will visit an electronic store to learn more about this later.
Well as a novice artist, I just want to get my feet wet and draw sketches and get better as I go. I'm leaning more towards tab S4. I heard Ibis paint X is good along with artbook sketch. Do most people use one single app or many and make edits? Asking for myself lol
It's usually quite troublesome to use too many apps.
@@teohyc okay cool thanks. I will keep that in mind when making a purchase decision
I just bought the ipad pro for online teaching. But found that the tip produces a lot of clicking noise while writing, students find it really unbearable during live sessions. Can you please help me with this?
Great video any very helpful I am actually typing this on the air!
Just want to give a shout out. Love your videos. Thanks.
Thanks 😁
Nice I’m getting the Tab S4 :D
800+ for an apple ipad vs 600+ for an samsung.
Thanks for the review. been looking for this kind of review for 2 days. I just wished that I found your review when I was looking into buy an art tablet, now I got one I can't draw on.
SuperGirl1970 Carver what is 800+ for ipad ? I don’t understand
Lmao theyre talking about the ipad pro while the one in this vid is an ipad air facepalm*
Can you replace the nibs on the S-Pen, like you can on Wacom / XP-Pen ? I never hear about people replacing the nibs on the Apple pencil, is that a thing? Thanks.
The Apple Pencil nibs are replaceable. Cheap ones can be found on eBay
@@teohyc What about the S-Pen nibs?
Can you try using TVPaint on the samsung tablet? it's only available on android
so usefull, thank you so much
iPad Air is waayyyy better but i love the Samsung S4 even though i own the iPad Air
I'm thing to choose between the iPad 9.7 2018 and the tab s3 and having a bar time 😣. What are your thoughts?
@@alwaysalicia did u end up choosing?
I got the apple air 3
me too, amazing
Why i cant use the multi task function like yours, on my tab s 4?
to be frank i dont think sammy focus so much on drawing on their tablets then apple , apple always seem to be on the artsy side ? andriod is just a fuss free OS, good all rounder multi media tablet
what artsy side WDYM🤣🤣🤣
What's a good price for a brand new Tab S4 65GB with 4G? in 2021?
Whats the app for drawing?
Procreate
Hi , I actaully want to use for not taking and making mathematical equations and using more as a scratch to temporarily calculate or make proces diagrams. Though, I like a need handwriting , precision should be very good and accurate, that is actually what I am looking for. I don't care about media watching, it is mainly use is for note taking. Though, I like high quality screen..with a premuim feel.. what would you reccomend?
Perhaps iPad Air. The Apple Pencil experience is slightly better.
@@teohyc thanks for the quick reply but what about the Samsung s4 and others ? and is it true that you the pencil is not included in the AIR version?
@@confidential303 Apple Pencil is not included and is an extra US $99. Samsung S Pen is included.
I would like to ask you, actually, I'm considering to buy between Samsung Tab S4 / Ipad Pro 10.5 (2017) / Ipad Air 3 (2019). I kinda have a budget. I'm going to use it for drawing, tracing picture (using Adobe sketch & Adobe draw), and doing some notes. I've been looking at youtube and they said, it's better to buy Ipad Pro (2017) because of the spec is the same, but better. But my friend said that it's better to buy ipad air 2019 because it released this year. And about the price, it almost the same, more higher Ipad pro 2017 because I still need to buy the Apple pen. Do you have any opinion? Thank you!
I have been dealing with the same issue. I'm a faithful samsung user.. but their tablets barely receive software update, making the device slow and laggy over time. I'm planning to buy the ipad air 2019. Apple usually provides 5 years of updates..so The 2017 ipad pro has approximately 2 years left of updates.
@@bebeyeye386 Oo.. I see.. I think..... I will buy ipad air 2019 :D hahaha! thank you for replying my msg :D
@@bebeyeye386 yeah, but 5th thing with android is that even when updates stop, you can still have the latest os, even if your tab is supported via custom roms, whereas on iPad once they stop supporting updates that's it... There are no custom roms. You are forced to update.
What kind of app did you use on ISO ?
Why did you show them in the video? 🙄
Does anyone know that iPad Air has pen pressed translates like galaxy note ?
I wish iPad has that feature 😞
I use Procreate on iPad
It's a bit old, but I'd love an artist review for the Galaxy Book 12 from you, if possible.
Go for the second generation. Its almost as cheap now.
I used both for drawing. Prefered Samsung, since there is a two types of nip for the S pen
Is charging the pen for the iPad Air a problem? it looks like it'd be so easy to break...
I think that the apple pencil has a better feeling to it due to it being larger than the s-pen
Excuse me, do u use any screen on ur tab s4? I just want to know what kind of experience is better
I don't have screen protector on Tab S4
I’m glad to get ur response, because My Drawing experience was bad due to my screen protector . I just think get a new protector or just keep my screen free
I am a beginner artist. I scan my sketches into my pc in order to digitally outline and color it. If I were purchase a iPad, could I transfer my scanned sketch that is in my Windows PC to an Apple iPad via a usb cord?
If you use cable transfer, it would depend on whether that drawing app has a folder in iTunes. You can only transfer through iTunes. The easier way is actually to just upload to the cloud, eg Google Drive, and then download it onto your iPad. Or if the file is not too big, just email yourself.
How is the tab s4 for note taking, studying and reading?
It's good
Excellent,i am owning it, u can take notes even when tab is locked jus by tapping spen, and ui has became Sexiest with new update of android pi
Excelent Channel greetings froom Colombia
Really, froom
Can you use other pens for the samsung tab?
Only S Pen and the Noris digital
@@teohyc bummer. Thanks for the reply
@@teohyc My old wacom bamboo works too... bought it for drawing on my Galaxy note pro about five years ago, still fine
RIP android app developers.
For a student, for take notes, view PDF and edit It, and do a lot of multimedia actions... Tab s4, iPad Air 3? Obviously with the pens
Both are good. At the same price, iPad Air is more worth it
Hi. Is it true that the Samsung S5 e tablet doesn't support the S- pen? Pls tell me
That's true. S5e does not support S pen
Oh jees , air 2019 is so smooth 😲
This video is oddly therapeutic
The Tab S4 seems to have potentials however Samsung is known for their late updates and after one year the Tab S4 will be outdated and no more updates (maybe). iPads on the other hand are updated on timely manner.
Ipad expandable memory and headphone jack= perfection
The air and 10.5 pro have a headphone jack but definitely need expandable storage
I just got a table s4 for 400$ used so I think it'll be good!
for what are you using it ?
Samsung Tab has a better screen.
That’s it.
does the samsung tab s4 have palm rejection??? im trying to buy one tommorow maybe and im trying to make the purchase decision because the palm rejection is the only thing that is holding me back from buying the tab s4!! pls respond soon ;-;
It has
is 64 GB Sufficient for Drawing on ProCreate?
can i connect USB thum drive via dongle?
May not be enough for Procreate if you draw regularly AND you record timelapse. Yes you can connect a thumb drive via dongle.
@@teohycThank You for Fast Reply.
Most of the time i'm going to use it for T-shirts Designing and Logo Designing(won't be Using timelapse) and some times 1080p Video Editing.
i live in India ipad pro 2018 is too expensive, ipad air is in my budget. so what you say?
@@abhirajshetkar2 iPad Air is good enough
@@teohyc thank you so much 🙏
what's Approximate size of the .png file size for moderate Design?
@@abhirajshetkar2 It's very difficult to answer that question. You can just use your current software and export a PNG to see. The file sizes will not differ much. File sizes can vary by a lot so I can't give a single number,
Hey everyone, i need some help. My tablet doesnt have pressure sensitivity, so if anyone could tell me if there is a drawing app for android that has speed dynamics, or speed tapering of lines. Thanks in advance
What tablet are you using?
Ich male gerne digital und möchte gerne ein tablet kaufen wahrscheinlich das s4 oder s6 da alle meine Produkte Android sind und ich noch nie mit Apple gearbeitet habe allerdings weiß ich nicht ob es vlt doch besser wäre mir ein i pad zu holen da es bessere Software zum zeichnen gibt. Außerdem will ich darauf auch Notizen für die Schule machen wo es beim ipad auch mehr Möglichkeiten gibt aber ich würde mir es gerne als Laptop Ersatz holen weil meiner kapput gegangen in und mit deX auf dem s4 würde das wahrscheinlich besser klappen .
Und ich mag Apple nicht weil alles so verschlossen ist kann mir hiermit vlt jemand helfen ?
Verpasse ich auf einem Samsung tab zu viel??
Please make a review of Samsung Galaxy Tab A8.0 2019.
I will when i can find one at a good price
Caseko CSK They're still not sold in the US yet ?
I'm waiting for the Tab S6
Can the tab s7 s pen work on the tab s4?
Yes
Review huawei mate 20x Pls
Hello. Not an artist here. I am deciding between both. I am able to get the S4 for 420 EUR and the iPad Air 2019 for 500 EUR. I will mostly use device for browsing the web, UA-cam and occasionally drawing doodles for fun. And I suppose 95% of the time I will be using it in portrait mode, on top of my knee while I rest on my couch. So I was wondering is the overall experience on the S4 significantly worse than the one on the iPad (in respect of smoothness of operation, mainly in browsing, and in respect of ease of use with one hand, as well as typing on the screen). I will appreciate if someone shares his opinion. :)
Maybe the S4 is good enough. Note that Apple Pencil is not included and cost a lot.
Teoh Yi Chie Thank you for the immediate response. I have almost decided to buy it, but there is some fear in me that basic operations in the S4 will suffer in the long run and that Apple’s browsing experience will be better because developers recognize iOS it as the standard for tablets and don’t bother with optimizing android experience. I am an iPhone user that switched from a galaxy device because of how steady the system runs while performing basic tasks like opening contacts, browsing the image gallery etc, but man, I hate how everything is restricted, especially the file transfer. So the unchained system is what draws me to get the android tablet but if the everyday use is cumbersome I will deeply regret the purchase because I really don’t need a tablet and 500 EUR will be better spent somewhere else. If the iPad was little cheaper and the god damned apple pencil was not 110 EUR, but maybe half, then I would bet on Apple.
Samsung should've just stuck to the design language of the S-Pen on the Tab S3.
So true
Review samsung tab s6 2019?
I will
how about the display?
It looks like Samsung has clearer display.
An apple cost more to buy the pencil, right?
The OLED on Samsung does have more vibrant colours but the colours on the IPS panel on the iPad is not too bad either.
@@teohyc and did it cost more one apple pencil?
Ктонибудь переведите на русский! Или где можно скачать напечатанный текс чтоб в автоперевод прочитать?
lol, looks like u do the same thing I do. hold two pencils like I'm holding chopsticks. I tried one time to hold two pencils like chopsticks and draw like that in my hands.
can you try new Huawei Matebook E 2019 with pen?please .
nop, its trashy - Chinese-spying plastic tablet with the lowest end Wacom tech(which inst good anyway on displays) with very low specs(just enough power to spy on your data)
Does Apple Air scratch easily, I am worried - -
Nope, but if you're really worried you can always buy a screen protector :)
👍👍👍
Nice review. I notice that you link to the Wimaxit portable touch monitor, but actually you are linking to the one star version, there is another one by the same company that looks better and comes with a display cover/stand hybrid. www.amazon.com/WIMAXIT-Portable-Monitor-1920x1080-Built/dp/B07J53B7NS (not an affiliate link)
They have different models. Mines the one with the microUSB on the left side.
Samsung all the way. I just see american prefering apple just bc it´s an american company
Hudson Martins So you're Korean? Because Samsung is a Korean thing.
