"Until now, although there have been great tablets made by other companies, it&amp;#039;s Apple&amp;#039;s iPads that have tended to steal the show. Samsung is hoping it can change things with its new models. So how do they compare? The Samsung Galaxy Tab S comes in two screen sizes. The larger one is closest to the iPad Air. Samsung&amp;#039;s model has a 10.5-inch display while Apple&amp;#039;s clocks in at a little smaller \u2013 9.7 inches.   The smaller Samsung is also bigger than Apple&amp;#039;s \u2013 8.4 inches against the iPad mini&amp;#039;s 7.9 inches. Samsung&amp;#039;s models have higher-resolution screens than Apple&amp;#039;s Retina display iPads \u2013 there are 2500 x 1600 pixels on the Samsung screens, both small and large. Apple&amp;#039;s Retina display iPad Air and iPad mini, however, have 2048 x 1536 pixels. So Samsung&amp;#039;s Galaxy Tab S wins out for pixel density. Realistically, though, you&amp;#039;d be hard spot to tell the difference in image quality \u2013 both are pin sharp, though Samsung&amp;#039;s Super AMOLED technology means there is exceptional contrast on its screens. Both look fantastic, though. Apple&amp;#039;s iPads have always had extraordinary build quality and high-grade materials such as aluminium and glass. But now, for the first time, Samsung is matching build quality with Apple, using high-quality materials and a more elegant design than ever before.   Apple no longer leads in the style stakes by a country mile, though the simplicity and purity of its designs are still hard to beat. The weights of the respective machines are pretty similar now, too. With a Wi-Fi 10.5-inch Galaxy Tab S clocking in at 465g, against the iPad Air&amp;#039;s 469g. The smaller Samsung model is lighter too, with a 40g difference in weight compared to the heavier iPad mini with Retina display \u2013 even though the screen is half an inch bigger on the Samsung! When the most recent iPads were released, the switch to powerful processors made them seem blisteringly fast. Samsung&amp;#039;s new machines have 3GB of RAM and speedy processors (quad-core or octa-core depending on where you buy it) which will give Apple a run for its money. Both Apple tablets have very narrow bezels on the side, while the Samsung opts for thin boundaries on the long edges on the smaller model, but thin bezels on the short sides on the larger one.   Basically, the side the home button is on is the one with the bigger bezel on Samsung. However, Apple has one cute advantage. It uses a feature called thumb rejection so if a finger or thumb is resting on the screen, the system recognises this and still lets you turn pages on an ebook, say. If you&amp;#039;re an Apple fan, the gorgeous all-metal back and stunningly intuitive system will probably still sway you. If you&amp;#039;re undecided, though, Samsung&amp;#039;s improved design, eye-popping screen and powerful, fast processor may be enough to turn heads its way.
