Life, Sithikorn Wongwudthianun, Published on 01/01/2016
» For some years now, Samsung has been giving Apple a run for its money in the phone and tablet markets. Sometimes the Korean giant manages to outfox the American trendsetter and sometimes it can't quite pull it off. This week, we compare the two rivals' flagship tablets: the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 and the iPad Air.
