(Samsung) it’s a lot cheaper,and its not made in China, but that “ecosystem” issue makes me wonder: how does the android compare with apple stuff?
—
Samsung uses chips made in China’s Xinjiang province, now shut due to flu. Apple’s M series chips are made in US by Qualcomm.
Android is Google product licensed to various manufactures. Google collects and sells your data and you cannot turn it off. Apple’s privacy is industry leader ; you can turn privacy & location features on or off.
You get what you pay for - buy cheap, get cheap.
I checked out the Tab s7’s specs and googled around finding this:
https://techstory.in/samsung-will-be-officially-manufacturing-qualcomms-snapdragon-8-gen-1-chipset/
“The chipmaker will continue to work with Samsung foundry for its high-end chipset. Qualcomm formerly had certain of its chipsets, such as the Snapdragon 888 (2020), Snapdragon 865 (2019), and Snapdragon 855 (2018), manufactured by Taiwan’s TSMC.”
The Tab s7+ uses the Snapdragon 865+,apparently manufactured in Taiwan, the same foundry that produces the M1 chip for the Ipad Pro. There’s no denying the M1 is better.
