Our Verdict

Ipad Pro 12 9 (2022) vs Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra wins on display with its 14.6-inch Super AMOLED, 120Hz panel versus the iPad Pro’s 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR at 120Hz—2.7 inches larger and OLED vs LCD, delivering deeper blacks and brighter highlights. Artists and professionals needing precise stylus input should choose the iPad Pro 12.9, as it supports Apple Pencil Pro with pressure sensitivity, tilt detection, and seamless pairing, while its M2 chip and iPadOS 16.1 enable lag-free note-taking and app multitasking. Buyers prioritizing screen real estate and lower upfront cost should pick the Tab S8 Ultra, especially if they use Android-native apps or want a larger canvas for media and multitasking without investing in expensive accessories. In UAE at AED 3199 vs AED 3350, the Tab S8 Ultra is better because its 14.6-inch OLED screen is 2.7 inches larger and offers superior contrast; in India at ₹84999 vs ₹129999, the Tab S8 Ultra wins on value because it delivers a larger, brighter display and 5G at nearly half the price, with no need for extra stylus cost.
