The rivalry between Apple and Samsung extends to many areas but right now the main fronts of the battle are precisely in the field of phablets and tablets and with the launch of the new models of the iPhone and the Galaxy Note, are red alive. Which of the two do you think will win in 2017?

With the new iPhone just arrived in stores, the fight to get the title to the best high-end phablet is more interesting than ever, and although there are many other competitors (and others still pending debut, such as Google and Huawei), those of Samsung and Apple are, logically, those that have managed to attract the most attention to date. The virtues of each one of them, however, are as different as their design: the first one continues being the champion in performance and autonomy, for what we are able to see in the first benchmarks, but in the multimedia section the second one continues to carry much advantage. With which of you do you stay? If you have doubts you can have a look at our comparison iPhone 8 Plus vs Galaxy S8 Plus.

Any technology enthusiast knows, however, that neither the iPhone 8 Plus nor the Galaxy S8 Plus, are the summit today of the respective catalogs of their manufacturers, but those determined to pay more than 1000 euros to be done with The best possible phablet can aspire to be done with even higher level devices. The duel iPhone X vs Galaxy Note 8, in any case, is even more complicated than the one that existed among the "inferior" models, since they have even fewer weak points than the enemy can take advantage of. Even in terms of design, although still very different, they are somewhat closer. We will have to wait a few weeks to see if the Apple or not get more hearts than Samsung.

For those who do not fear the figures of vertigo (the Samsung tablet costs 1200 euros and Apple if we add keyboard and stylus moves in similar numbers), there is still another key battle in which both have great proposals, and is the of the 12-inch professional tablets: iPad Pro 12.9 vs Galaxy Book 12. It is true, however, that here Samsung part with advantage because most users looking for a tablet of this type, usually with a view to replace their laptops, tend to search for Windows devices, although Apple is doing everything possible to bring its mobile operating system to a new level and iOS 11, at least, is a step in the right direction. What is beyond doubt is that we have two excellent teams and none of them will be a bad choice in any case.

It could be considered a replica of the previous battle on a smaller scale, but in reality the duel iPad Pro 10.5 vs Galaxy Tab S3 is very different, because it is normal for 10-inch tablets to still give much importance to their characteristics as devices. consumption of content, and not primarily to its potential as work tools, and both are great tablets for those looking for one with which to enjoy movies, series and games, but which may also be useful to work if necessary. It is true that in this sense, the arrival with Android limits a bit more to the Samsung tablet, while Apple can boast of being a real beast in terms of power, but it is also true that the first is a cheaper option, especially now that it can be found cheaper in Amazon and considering that the S Pen is included.

We cannot fail to mention one last battle, the one held by the iPad 9.7 and the Galaxy Tab S2 (which probably due to the high price of the new model, still has a lot of presence), which may not have the same symbolic weight as the one facing the iPad Pro 10.5 and the Galaxy Tab S3, but that may be more important to the best even in terms of sales figures, since the first two are more affordable options, available to a much wider audience: Apple's is sold for 400 euros which is more or less what Samsung costs right now. Even on a smaller scale, in any case, we find here that their respective virtues (the main ones, at least) are again those of the Cupertino and Korean devices: the performance for the first and the multimedia section for the second.
