For the past few years, Apple has dom­i­nat­ed the tablet mar­ket — accord­ing to the ana­lyt­i­cal com­pa­ny Strat­e­gy Ana­lyt­ics, the share of the Amer­i­can man­u­fac­tur­er in Q3 2021 increased from 30% to 38% (com­pared to the same peri­od in 2020). It is hard for Android man­u­fac­tur­ers to com­pete with Apple, so many of them have prac­ti­cal­ly aban­doned the pro­duc­tion of tablets.

The excep­tion is Sam­sung. The South Kore­an com­pa­ny releas­es new mod­els every year that offer impres­sive fea­tures. This diver­si­ty com­pli­cates the choice. In today’s arti­cle, we have select­ed the best Sam­sung Galaxy tablets that can com­pete with the Apple iPad.
