The main question: Which offers better value for money?

Unique points / features mentioned (overall)

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite: S Pen included
iPad 11: supports an Apple Pencil over USB‑C, but pen support costs ~ $80 extra if you need/want it
Takeaway: If stylus use matters, Samsung has a value advantage.

Samsung RAM: 6GB or 8GB (as mentioned in the video)
Expandable storage:

- iPad: eSIM only

3) Display (size, type, refresh rate, brightness, viewing quality)

Both are: 10.9-inch class
Aspect ratio look:
- iPad: appears slightly wider
- Samsung: looks more rectangular
Panel type:
- Samsung: TFT LCD
- iPad: IPS LCD
Refresh rate:

Visual quality notes:

User experience note: Both look good in person (especially straight-on), so the remaining differences come down to preference.

4) Battery life & charging speed

Battery capacity mentioned:

- Samsung: up to 25W
Battery test at 100% brightness:

6) Desktop / external display support

iPad advantage: supports video out (HDMI adapter to TV/projector/external monitors)

- To get this feature, you’d need to step up to a regular S10 or S11

No numeric rating—just a slight split in favor of each depending on what you care about.
