Are there any specific apps that take advantage of Dolby Vision on the iPad Pro more effectively than HDR10 on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra


When comparing the support for Dolby Vision on the iPad Pro versus HDR10 on the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, several apps stand out for their effective use of Dolby Vision on iOS devices.

Apps Supporting Dolby Vision on iPad Pro

1. Infuse: This is one of the most popular media players for iOS and tvOS, known for its excellent support of Dolby Vision and HDR10 content. It allows users to play Dolby Vision videos smoothly, making it a top choice for those with a collection of Dolby Vision movies or shows[4][5].

2. HD Player: Another app that supports Dolby Vision, HD Player is praised for its ability to play Dolby Vision and HDR10+ videos correctly. It offers hardware-accelerated decoding, which enhances playback efficiency and reduces energy consumption[7].

3. Movies Anywhere App: This app also supports Dolby Vision on the iPad Pro, allowing users to enjoy their movies in high dynamic range if they have linked their digital purchases to their Apple ID[3].

Comparison with Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra

The Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra primarily supports HDR10 and HDR10+, but it does not natively support Dolby Vision due to Samsung's preference for HDR10+, which they developed as an alternative to Dolby Vision to avoid licensing fees[9]. While HDR10+ offers similar advantages to Dolby Vision, such as dynamic metadata and high brightness, it lacks the widespread content support and device compatibility that Dolby Vision enjoys, particularly on Apple devices.

In terms of HDR playback, the iPad Pro generally offers better support for Dolby Vision, which is widely used in Apple's ecosystem. However, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra may struggle with HDR brightness compared to iPads, as Samsung devices often do not reach the same peak brightness levels as Apple devices when playing HDR content[3].

Overall, if you're looking for effective Dolby Vision support, the iPad Pro with apps like Infuse and HD Player is a better choice than the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, which relies more on HDR10 and HDR10+.
