When comparing the HDR support on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra and the Apple iPad Pro, there are several key differences:
1. HDR Formats Supported:
- The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra supports HDR10+, which is a dynamic metadata HDR format that offers improved contrast and color accuracy compared to standard HDR10. However, HDR10+ is not as widely adopted as Dolby Vision[3][6].
- The Apple iPad Pro, on the other hand, supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma). Dolby Vision is a more advanced HDR format that offers superior color grading and dynamic metadata, making it more widely used in high-quality content[3][8].
2. Brightness and Display Quality:
- The iPad Pro boasts a peak brightness of up to 1,600 nits, which is significantly higher than the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra's peak brightness of around 930 nits. This higher brightness enhances the HDR viewing experience, especially in bright environments[3][6].
- Both devices feature OLED displays with high refresh rates, providing excellent color accuracy and contrast. However, the iPad Pro's higher peak brightness gives it an edge in displaying HDR content effectively[3][6].
3. Content Compatibility:
- Dolby Vision content is more prevalent and supported by major streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, which often provide Dolby Vision support for their content on compatible devices like the iPad Pro. However, when playing Dolby Vision content on devices that only support HDR10+, like the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, the content may be downgraded to HDR10, potentially reducing the viewing experience[3][5].
- The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra's HDR10+ support means it can still deliver high-quality HDR content, but users might miss out on the full benefits of Dolby Vision if they consume a lot of content optimized for that format.
In summary, while both tablets offer excellent display quality, the iPad Pro's support for Dolby Vision and its higher peak brightness make it more suitable for users who prioritize HDR content viewing. The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, however, remains a strong option for those who prefer Android and can still enjoy high-quality HDR content with HDR10+.
