The new iPad Air reminds us just how bad most Android tablets really are - Android Central

I don't much care for tablets, but even I was really impressed with the Galaxy Tab S6 while I had it here for a review, and I'll be the first to say that a Samsung tablet is a well-built piece of machinery that looks and feels like it justifies its price.

The only great apps on a brand new Galaxy Tab S are the ones Samsung wrote for it.

I feel like I keep writing this over and over, but Google just doesn't seem to care about tablet apps the same way Apple does.

That's a shame because something like a Galaxy Tab deserves great apps like Pixelmator or any of the other "must-have" apps for the iPad.

Samsung probably could afford to do it, but it's not going to when it can spend that money developing its own first-party apps that are pretty awesome on the Galaxy Tab.

That means close to 90% of the apps — including ones you want to use — would be gone when you hit up the Play Store with a new Android tablet.

I don't know if that's because Android users have been trained not to pay for things after years of getting most apps and services for free, or whether because of Android's open nature piracy is just rampant.

Apps written for iOS make a lot more money than ones written for Android even though there are twice as many people using Android.

I'm actually impressed that some third-party apps, like Sketchbook (a must-have app for any Galaxy Tab or Galaxy Note, in my opinion) are so great on a tablet because I know they aren't making much money.

I want to recommend a new Galaxy Tab to someone looking for a great tablet, but I can't because iOS has apps that are so much better.

Most Android apps work on an Android tablet or a Chromebook but they look like crap or don't work correctly.

Google keeps making it easier to design and lay out apps for bigger screens — because it hasn't given up on great Chromebooks like it has for tablets — but it's not making a difference.

You can simplify Android down so it "just works" but you can't upscale iOS so it does more than just work.

Bottom line: The Galaxy Tab S7 is an easy choice if you're looking for a powerful Android tablet.

Samsung, one of the few companies that still makes Android tablets, now has the Galaxy Tab S7 in its arsenal.
