Apple is credited for introducing the tablet computers to the world, but Samsung gave the world a choice. By comparing the iPad with the Galaxy Tab 7.0, it is easy to narrow down the similarities and differences between the two remarkable devices.
By unraveling the two best tablets and their best and weak features, it would provide techies more information as they choose between the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G and the Galaxy Tab Plus.
Physical Dimension and Display
The iPad has a dimension of 242.8 x 189.7 x 13.4 mm while Galaxy Tab has 193.7 x 122.4 x 9.9 mm, clearly its size is a lot smaller compared to the IOS. In terms of screen, both have capacitive touchscreen but their difference in the screen size is 2.7 inches, iPad has the larger screen. When it comes to durability, the iPad's screen is scratch-resistant while the Galaxy Tab has TouchWiz UX UI. Technically, iPad is better in this area.

When it comes to alerts, iPad has no applicable option on this one while Galaxy Tab has the standards used by smartphones. The Galaxy Tab has built-in stereo speakers too. In short, Galaxy Tab is better in speaker mode for multiple listeners.
Memory and Storage
The Galaxy Tab has built-in 16 or 32 GB storage depending on choice upon purchase. The tablet device can be expanded by microSD card up to 64 GB, total of 96GB of storage. At the same time it has a 1GB RAM for application needs.
The iPad has built-in 16, 32, or 64 GB of storage and there is no way to expand it. This indicates that all applications, especially for the newly installed ones, will take some memory on the RAM due to the same space they share. The iPad has 256 MB of RAM for application operation.
In this area, techies who are big downloaders and want to store a lot of data would probably prefer Samsung.
Data Statistics
Both devices have GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA capability and Wi-Fi service as well. But the Galaxy Tab can be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot, meaning it can share its Internet connection by producing it via wireless option. Each device has Bluetooth capabilities and USB connections. Surprisingly, Galaxy Tab has Infrared port but it is useless on certain devices until now.
Basically, both devices are okay with their data stats, but users who are technical and wants to have everything, will definitely opt for Samsung Galaxy Tab.
