The Samsung is featuring two build-in speakers at the bottom of the tab, which is similar to any other Samsung tab, but they are louder than the Apple iPad, and the quality is also a bit good than the Apple iPad. You would feel more comfortable watching movies with these speakers.

3. Camera

Samsung Galaxy tab

The Samsung tab features the 5mp front camera and 8mp back camera, making it great for the zoom meeting and normal size photos.

Apple Ipad

Apple is known for its high-quality cameras, but in the iPad, they are not focusing on the cameras; the iPad has a 1.2-megapixel camera which is not very good for photos and just for the grained zoom meetings.

So, Samsung is winning in this point with a 5-megapixel camera.
