Battery Life: iPad 2 vs. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

**Mcchriston** · 06-18-2011 02:46 AM

A recent article on AllThingsD by Katherine Boehret compared the differences between the iPad 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. While the prices are the same for each ($499 for the 16GB WiFi model, $599 for the 32GB WiFi model), differences include the camera, the physical size, and the app market.
Most importantly, however, was the difference in battery life. Boehret's testing (which included 75% screen brightness, WiFi-enabled, and a video loop) concluded that the iPad 2 would last just slightly over 10 hours, while the Galaxy Tab ran at a measly 5 hours 38 minutes in comparison.
Sure, the Galaxy Tab may be just a bit thinner (and really, who doesn't like sleek?) and have better camera quality; but is it worth half the battery life? Granted, it's doubtful people will be using the battery constantly like Boehret did in her testing, so I'm sure that the battery lasts longer than 5 hours on average. Nonetheless, it's something to consider when purchasing a tablet.

It was mentioned, iPad battery problem. Either this is really the battery is defective, or the fact that is due to the excessive use of equipment. Buy your iPad external battery is the perfect solution for the iPad battery problem.

The battery life of the Samsung galaxy tab is less than the ipdad 2. The Samsung galaxy tab has a battery life of near about 7 to 9 hours video playback support. For the ipad 2 the battery life is 10 hour with video playback supports. Fo fully recharge the battery you have to put it up to 4 hours.
