Our Verdict

Ipad Mini (2024) vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra wins on display with its 14.6-inch Super AMOLED, 120Hz panel versus the iPad mini’s 8.3-inch LCD, 60Hz screen — a 6.3-inch larger, smoother display with deeper blacks. The iPad mini (2024) 256GB suits artists needing precise Apple Pencil 2 support and students requiring 256GB storage and iPadOS 18’s multitasking for note-taking and apps, all in a 293g portable form. The Tab S8 Ultra targets professionals needing a 14.6-inch canvas for split-screen productivity, HDR video editing, or digital sketching with S Pen included, despite its 726g weight and higher accessory cost. In UAE at AED 2350 vs AED 2899, the iPad mini is better because its Apple Pencil 2 support and compact size enable precise mobile creation. In India at ₹54999 vs ₹76999, the iPad mini wins on value because the S Pen is bundled but the Tab S8 Ultra’s premium price doesn’t justify its bulk for most daily tasks.
