Display
Apple’s new iPad is up with a 9.7-inch Retina Display that offers a mesmeric screen resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels at a 264 PPI (Pixel Per Inch) density and a 4:3 aspect ratio. While The Note 10.1 sports a 10.1-inch display that only has a screen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels at a 149 PPI. I’m always curious about that why Samsung don’t use a higher resolution in order to compete with other high-end tablets.
Winner: Apple iPad is unbeatable in screen resolution.

If the Galaxy Note 10.1 were to be a regular Android tablet, the discussion would have stopped there. However, a unique feature of the Galaxy Note 10.1 is the S Pen stylus which makes the tablet stands out among other available tablets. The Note 10.1 can take advantage of the ever increasing number of S-Pen optimized apps. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 shares its resolution with the Galaxy Note 10.1, meaning all S-Pen optimized apps (S Memo, Air View, S Note and such) are available on the big brother as we.
This is the unique selling point of the Galaxy Note 10.1: do you want to be able to accurately outline graphs, take notes or go creative from a graphical perspective? The Galaxy Note 10.1 has you covered. Add Samsung’s software tweaks (Multitasking is a real winner), the Galaxy S3-inspired Smart Functions and the various useful features of Jelly Bean and the Note 10.1 seems to be a very potent tablet when it comes to its software capabilities.
