AudioĪpple places the iPad Air's dual speakers on either side of the Lightning connector on the bottom edge of the tablet (if held in portrait mode). The screen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is brighter and just looks better. The Tab S registered a Delta-E rating of 3.4 (0 is best). However, the Air's colors are more true to life. The Tab S is capable of displaying 154 percent of the sRGB color gamut, compared with the iPad Air's 99 percent. Neither display was easily viewable in bright sunlight, however.

We recorded an average brightness on the Air of 411 lux, while the Tab S notched 502 lux. The brightness we observed during real world testing was also backed up by our light meter testing. At least the iPad Air's 9.7 inches did a better job of making her look younger. The 10.5-inch display on the Tab S was also sharper, allowing us to clearly make out the wrinkles on Glenn Close's neck. It's so much brighter that the iPad Air's 2048 x 1536-pixel display made Saldana merely look jaundiced instead of reptilian. Zoe Saldana's green skin really popped on the Galaxy Tab S' 2560 x 1600-pixel panel. While watching an HD trailer for 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' the difference between these two tablets was instantly obvious.
