Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 vs. Pixel Tablet: Spec Comparison”.
Samsung unveiled its latest tablet: lineup the Galaxy Tab S9 as part of its unpacked event. Key upgrades include improved processors and water resistance, but how does the tab S9 compared to the pixel tablet, which Google also unveiled not too long ago? Let’S break it down. For starters, both sets of tablets run Android. The tab S9 comes in three sizes. The standard size has an 11 inch display. The tab, S9 plus has a 12.4 inch display and the tab S9 Ultra clocks in at 14.6 inches. Meanwhile, the pixel tablet’s display measures just under 11 inches now, there’s one major difference. I’Ll just get out of the way the pixel tablet can also be used as a dockable home hub, meaning it comes with a charging dock that doubles as a speaker. So when the tablet isn’t in your hands, you can use it like you’d use a Smart Home display.
The type S9 doesn’t have this capability, so it’ll just be your standard tablet, but in true Samsung fashion it does come with an S Pen which, like the tablet itself, has an ip68 rated water and dust resistant design. When it comes to cameras, the tab S9 has a 12 megapixel Ultra wide front camera and a 13 megapixel rear camera. The tab S9 plus has a 12 megapixel Ultra wide front camera, as well as a 13 megapixel main wide and 8 megapixel Ultra wide camera. On the back and the tab, S9 Ultra has a 12 megapixel front wide and Ultra wide camera, in addition to a 13 megapixel main wide and 8 megapixel Ultra wide camera on the back. The pixel tablet has an 8 megapixel front camera, as well as an 8 megapixel rear camera. It also includes signature, pixel camera and photo editing, features like magic, eraser to remove objects or people from the background photo unblur and portrait mode for the front camera now.
Samsung and Google use different metrics to tap their respective devices battery capacity. Samsung says the tab. S9 has an 8 400 milliamp hour battery. The S9 plus has around a 10 000 milliamp hour battery and the S9 Ultra comes in at 11, 200 milliamp hours.
Google, on the other hand, says the pixel tablet, can support up to 12 hours of video streaming and has a built-in 27 watt hour battery. But if you do some digging online you’ll find it has a 7020 milliamp hour battery, so a lower capacity than all the S9 variants for memory. The tab S9 comes with eight gigabytes of RAM and a 125 gigabytes of internal storage or 12 gigabytes of RAM and 256 gigabytes of internal storage. The tab S9 plus comes with 12 gigabytes of RAM with either 256 or 512 gigabytes of internal storage and the S9 Ultra comes with 12 gigabytes Ram, with either 256 or 512 gigabytes of internal storage, as well as a 16 gigabyte option. With one terabyte of internal storage, all three of these tablets can expand up to one terabyte of storage, with a Micro SD card which isn’t included how expandable memory remember when the Galaxy S phones had that good times. The pixel tablet comes with eight gigabytes of RAM and 128 or 256 gigabytes of internal storage.
The tab, S9 lineup packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, while the pixel tablet has a Google tensor G2 chip, both sets of tablets use USBC charging or, if you’re, using the pixel tablet, you can connect it to that charging speaker dock, which comes with it. The tab S9 has an on-screen fingerprint reader, while the pixel tablet uses a fingerprint sensor and the power button to unlock. You can also use a pattern pin or password the tab.
S9 features quad stereo speakers with Sound by AKG and Dolby Atmos, and the pixel tablet has four speakers and three microphones for calls recordings and Google Assistant, as well as noise suppression, the tab S9 lineup comes in beige or graphite, while the pixel tab comes in porcelain, Hazel or Rose now the final and perhaps most important detail price. The Galaxy S9 cost 800, the S9 plus is one thousand dollars and the S9 Ultra is twelve hundred dollars. Meanwhile, the pixel tablet starts at 4.99 for the 128 gigabyte base model and the 256 gigabyte version is 100 more so, ultimately, which tablet you reach for depends on how much you want to spend and which features are most important to you, whether it’s the camera, storage Or battery, or maybe you just really want that S, Pen or the speaker, dock specs, don’t tell the whole story so stay tuned for our full S9 review soon and check out our pixel one right now too.
