The Complete Comparison Apple iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
 Who does not know the iPad, a tablet phenomenal selling well. Tablet from Apple that even the long queues everywhere. iPad 2, which became his successor is also selling like hotcakes. Then it does not mean there is no competition at all.

Samsung as a new vendor to produce tablets last year, many people began to rage. Samsung is not just silent, recently smartphone vendor on the rise also produce tablets with the same size as the rival iPad 2, which is 10 inches. The product, called Galaxy Tab 10.1 also has two dualcore processors.


 Then from the two tablets which one is better lets we one by one.

Design, Hardware and Dimensions - DRAW


 Glimpse into the two tablets is similar to one another. But if you feel it immediately, it appears the difference is quite tolerable.

 Here are pictures of the dimensions and design between 2 and Tab iPad 10.1. iPad 2 more boxes the screen with a screen ratio of 4:3 whereas 10.1 Tab over to the widescreen.

With dimensions that are thinner and lighter weight, more comfortable grasp Tab 10.1, brought everywhere and in put in the bag. But the slight difference is not a big problem.

 Elegant Design - iPad 2 WIN

 Many are not satisfied with the material for Tab 10.1 made of plastic. While the iPad 2 uses aluminum material that is claimed to more elegant. But I think the fabric is not visible tabs 10.1 cheap, gray bandage on the back side with a white design makes this tablet is quite elegant.

Although iPad 2 looks more elegant, but with material like aluminum that even a little afraid to use it without additional casing bandage. Aluminum from the iPad product is indeed susceptible dent so it must be extra careful using.

Speaker - Tab 10.1 WIN

 iPad 2 equipped with a speaker that extra large when compared with the first version. While there are 2 speakers tab on the right 10.1 and left. If all this I try, the speaker of the Tab 1.10 better than the iPad 2. Moreover, the placement of the left and right plus features to make the Tab 10.1 5.1 surround more lively to listen to music and video.


 Multimedia - Tab 10.1 WIN

Video Playback

  •     iPad 2: 720p H264
  •     Tab 10.1: 1080p
Audio 5.1 Surround Sound
  •     iPad 2: Must use a digital AV adapters
  •     Tab 10.1: Straight from the speakers
As the large sail, the two tablets are required to be used as a multimedia device. Watching videos on the 2 device is quite comfortable to watch a video, let alone supported HD format. Tab has a 10.1 widescreen display and a larger than iPad 2, ideal for watching the movie box office, mostly Wide format.

 From the clarity of sound, to two tablets were equally able to show a clear sound. But the 5.1 surround sound system can only run in Tab 1.10 because it has two speakers on the left and right.

 Screen - DRAW

 With a 9.7 inch screen size iPad 2 is still identical to its predecessor with a resolution of 1024 x768 While using a widescreen 10.1 Tab typical cinema and has a slightly better resolution with 1280 x 800px. Regarding the resolution, the two tablets looks balanced, iPad 2 uses IPS technology on its LED type display, while using the Tab 10.1 WXGA widescreen display.

 10.1 Tab clear victory of the camera.

 Notifications - Tab 10.1 WIN
  • iPad 2: Pop-up, and notification on the icon
  • Tab 10.1: Notification bars
 Here it is the weak point of IOS. Notification on the iPad 2 is not collected in one place. Notifikasinya too hard to see. Only marked with the logo of a number above each application. If the application is still a bit still not a big problem, what if the application has reached the third page and so on, I'm sure you'll never learn the latest notification on your iPad 2.
 
 Until now, the Notification on Android is one of the best among all mobile OS. Notifications are collected and characterized by perfect at the bottom of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is. It's a little different notification Honeycomb Android Tab 10.1 is with Android Smartphone which is usually placed above. With a perfect notification, you will never miss any messages received.

 Browser - Tab 10.1 Win
 
In terms of browser tabs 10.1 step forward because it already supports Flash Player. With flash you can enjoy video on the internet other than Youtube, play flash games or flash berdesign open a website.


Matter of speed, to its 2 have nearly the same speed.
Tab 10.1 On the tab went pretty smoothly when opening flash games at FB or Viwawa. It can not run well on the first generation tab.

 Video Call - DRAW
  •     iPad 2: Facetime, Wifi Only
  •     Tab 10.1: Gtalk, 3G & WiFi

 Facetime iPad 2 has a perfect application. Facetime on the iPad has an excellent level of stability, is not interrupted even if you open another application. It seems that Apple is intentionally making Facetime is always running in the background. But for opponents, you must have an iPad 2, 4 iPhone, iPod Touch 4 or a Facetime installed on your Macbook, it must pay for a Facetime Appstorenya. Moreover Facetime have to use Wifi to connect video calls and does not run when using 3G.
 
 While Tab 10.1 Gtalk as an application relying Video call. Same with facetime, video call with gtalk is always running in the background without interruption. Yummy, Gtalk on Tab 10.1 can connect with anyone who is using Gtalk or Gmail. Your friends can make video calls directly from the gmail in the browser without having to install applications and free Gtalk glance at Tab 10.1 superior here, but unfortunately not many smartphone or device that supports Gtalk Video call. But over time, Gtalk video call can be used more crowded than Facetime, let alone Google + also adopts a similar video calls.

 Like a man who was a baby compared to the adult, that's the image comparison application in Tab 10.1 and iPad 2. Applications Tab 10.1 is still fairly small compared to the application on the iPad 100rb 2.

Application - iPad 2 Win

  •     iPad 2: 100rb Applications
  •     Tab 10.1: <500 applications
 I admit iPad 2 has a myriad of quality and interesting applications in marketnya. How does almost all mobile developers must make an application for IOS iPad 2. Greater income would be a major factor developers chose a soft place like the Apple store.

While the Android platform Honeycomb in adopsikan to Tab 10.1 is still relatively very small. Although Android application has already reached hundreds of thousands, but the application is not optimized for large sailing Android tablets. A matter of time only, if the tablet android boom, of course, the developers vying to upgrade the look of their apps.


 Synchronization - Tab 10.1 Win
  •     iPad 2: iTunes USB
  •     Tab 10.1: Samsung Kies, Mass Storage via wifi and USB

Synchronization on the iPad 2 is required to use iTunes as the source. Sometimes this makes it inconvenient to transfer data. Conversely 10.1 tabs more flexible by using software Samsung Kies and can also be used as Mass Storage.


 Internet Tethering - Tab 10.1 Win
  •     iPad 2: Not Support
  •     Tab 10.1: Wifi and USB tethering
Again again iPad 2 does not have the features favored by many users. iPad 2 does not have the ability to share the Internet, either USB cable or wifi. While Android Tab 10.1 already has the ability to use USB tethering and Wifi.
  
With the ability to share the internet you can share the Internet to other devices. Moreover, the two tablets are already supporting 3G, simply subscribe to an Internet package to be able to share to all other wifi devices. Certainly more efficient is not it?

 One more thing, the battery capacity to 2 tablets at a very qualified to do tethering all day without fear of running out of battery.

Performance and Graphics - DRAW

  •     iPad 2: Processor 1 Ghz dualcore chip A5, PowerVR GPU
  •     Tab 10.1: 1 GHz dualcore processor NVIDIA Tegra 2
To 2 tablets of this sama2 brain using 2 processors. A5 iPad 2 uses a chip with a speed of 1 GHz Dual core, while Tab 10.1 using NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor technology with a core clock speed and the same.

 iPad 2 uses 512 MB of RAM while the Tab 10.1 at 1 GHz. Tabs seem to have 1.10 RAM 2 times larger. The graph on the iPad using PowerVR chips while Tab 10.1 SGX543MP2 GPU using NVIDIA Tegra 2.

Personalization - Tab 10.1 WIN


For those who like personalize, both from the side view and the system would have loved Tab 10.1. Honeycomb Android OS on 01/10 Tab allows to beautify your homescreen. Widgets, live wallpapers, and themes can be changed easily in Tab 10.1. You no longer bored with the look of your homescreen that that's it. Conversely, you can not make any changes to your homescreen iPad 2.

 Game - iPad 2 WIN

 Who does not know the game in the IOS. To the extent that many who buy iPad just for playing games. Naturally, almost all game developers would make games for IOS. Even the console game developers playstation, xbox and pc are the focus of making games for IOS. I am sure of the number of applications 100rb, gaming applications dominate. Whereas only 10.1 Tab because it still has a handful of new games.

 Speed ​​to open the message - Tab 10.1 WIN

 I do not like to use iPad two frequent loading times, connecting the first time when opening the application. For example, there is new mail, in IOS iPad 2, emails do not appear instantly in the email list because they have to be downloaded in advance, although have got notifikasinya. It is also common in many chat applications, social networking, etc.. Ditwitter For example, mention the newly accepted, can not directly open a snap when opening twitter. Again, loading and waiting. : (

 Of course there is also a disputed this, although the performance iPad 2 fairly quickly. But in cases like this IOS looks too much thinking. It does not happen in the Android Tab 10.1 fast display a message, email or the latest tweet.

 Usage & Multitasking - DRAW

 IOS famous use is still easy to surpass the convenience factor. Even users are not required to understand the system thoroughly to keep it running smoothly. IOS does not run all applications in the background. Although claimed to be multitasking, but in fact the multitasking on the iPad 2 is still not 100% pure. But it can be patched with the stability of the OS from Apple.

 Instead Android OS on Tab 10.1 Multitasking really pure. You can open many applications, and jumping to another application, without any change in your work. But do not blame if it runs out of RAM on Android. You must be a little difficult to install the application task killer returns of RAM or close an application to the Android system is not running slow. Not a problem for many people, but there is also disputed.

 3G connectivity - DRAW
  •     iPad 2: UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA
  •     Tab 10.1: +21 HSPA, GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
  •     iPad 2: WiFi 802.11 b / g / n Dual band, Bluetooth 3.1 EDR
  •     Tab 10.1: WiFi 802.11 b / g / n Dual band, Bluetooth 3.0
  •     iPad 2: microSIM
  •     Tab 10.1: Standard SIMcard
Both iPad and Tab has 10.1 full connectivity. However, Tab 10.1 +21 already supports HSPA technology that supports data connectivity up to 21 mbps. While HSDPA on the iPad 2 only supports up to 7.2 mbps.

Batteries - DRAW
  •     iPad 2: 6930 mAh, claimed to stand for 10 Hours
  •     Tab 10.1: 6800 mAh, claimed to stand for 9 hours

 No doubt the 2 tablet has a long battery life with the large capacities of these. It is difficult to ascertain how long a battery life when used. Heavy usage such as playing games, watching videos is draining the battery. However, if used only for browsing, playing music, email and chat this tablet can last all day.

 Price - iPad 2 WIN
  •     3G 16GB iPad 2: 650 USD (U.S. Store)
  •     Tab 10.1 16GB 3G: 700 USD
Conclusion
 Both 2 and Tab 10.1 iPad have their respective advantages. It all depends on the needs and tastes of each. For example, if you're a lover of games, iPad 2 is indeed the only choice. But if you like chatting, browsing and email flash content, perhaps better Tab 10.1. For that select the device as needed is the right answer.
