The unexampled Tandem OLED showing merge the light from two OLED panels to attain a brighter screen . Apple claim the iPad Pro can reach 1000 nit of brightness level when display both SDR and HDR content , or 1600 nits of summit brightness with HDR .

A major vantage to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is that it comes with the S Pen in the corner . That mean you do n’t need to vex about paying extra for a stylus to take notes or produce digital graphics .
While the iPad Pro offer support for the fresh Apple Pencil Pro , it does n’t come with the stylus or its forerunner , meaning you ’ll ask to pay upwards of $ 100/£100 on top of the price of the tablet to get your manpower on a pen .
