terms of size you'll need to choose between the larger tablet and the more portable option now aesthetically things are pretty much exactly as they were with last year's ipad pro and both tablets are very similar we've got a solid machined aluminum construction both are sleek and thin although the NUMBER_TOKEN inch ipad pro is about a half a millimeter thicker than last year's model because of the new display looking at the tablets we see small bezels rounded corners squared off edges and a matte finish now both have a usb c port and the tab sNUMBER_TOKEN plus has a usbc NUMBER_TOKEN gen NUMBER_TOKEN port with transfer speeds of up to NUMBER_TOKEN gigabits per second and the ipad pro received a thunderbolt slash usb NUMBER_TOKEN port upgrade with four times faster transfer speeds of up to NUMBER_TOKEN gigabits per second for the majority of users this isn't going to be a significant change but if you're transferring a lot of data to and from your tablet like maybe large photo and video files this is a nice feature the faster port will also allow for connectivity with more demanding accessories like the pro display xdr at NUMBER_TOKENk resolution now continuing around the edges we've got power buttons volume controls and four speaker grills an added feature on samsung's tab sNUMBER_TOKEN plus is the micro sd card slot which allows you to inexpensively expand the internal storage by an additional one terabyte now flipping the tablets over we see the ipad pro has a larger square camera module which includes two cameras a flash a microphone and the lidar scanner the tab sNUMBER_TOKEN plus features an elongated design with two cameras and a flash now if you're looking for color choices the tab sNUMBER_TOKEN plus comes in mystic black silver bronze and navy and the ipad pro comes in silver and space great now i chose to go with mystic navy for the tab sNUMBER_TOKEN plus and silver for this year's ipad pro because i like how it looks with the new white magic keyboard as far as biometric authentication the ipad pro offers face id and the tab sNUMBER_TOKEN plus uses face recognition now both are responsive and accurate and worked pretty well for me with the ipad pro face id ultimately edging out samsung's face recognition the tab seven plus also has an in-screen fingerprint sensor so in situations where you're not able to use face recognition you could easily unlock your device directly by touching the display i was hoping that apple would add the newer touch id that we saw on the power button of the ipad air NUMBER_TOKEN but this was either going to add too much of the cost or it's just a way for them to differentiate the error from the pro now overall i like the two forms of biometric authentication on the tab sNUMBER_TOKEN plus better and i find that i'm less likely to need to manually enter my password next let's talk about the display and if you remember from the NUMBER_TOKEN ipad pro comparison i said that the tab sNUMBER_TOKEN plus was the best display i'd seen on any tablet this year the biggest upgrade to the ipad pro in my opinion was the display and i know that we're getting the mNUMBER_TOKEN chip and i'll get to that in a minute but i still think the display will be a
