Yes android tabs are better. Apple tabs ( pads) doesnt support voice calls so, many apps including whatsapp dont work. Ipads are still 8 or more years behind technology. The only good thing in it is the ios. Ipads are bulky aswell compared to others of same screen size.
I prefer samsung tab s2 8.0 over any ipad since all voice assisted apps work on it. It is more compact for the same 8 inch screen and has far better, best in the world super amoled display which no apple devices can match.
