The iPad now as far as the thickness they are very close but the S6 Lite does not have a smart connector for a keyboard. Samsung does not come with connector they are designing this tablet to be used as a tablet and not as an all-in-one device. Apple is doing the opposite this year they actually added their smart connector and they have multiple options for keyboards including ones that support trackpad so you don’t have to connect over Bluetooth.

Another aspect of the design is of course biometrics with the iPad 10.2 inch we get touch ID in the home button which works great and with the Samsung S6 Lite here they did not include an under-display fingerprint sensor however they do have facial recognition which works very well.

Which is better!
