![]() The iPad Pro 2020 (A12Z Bionic) is the only model that did better, at 4,720. The Galaxy Tab S7 (Snapdragon 865+) hit a mark of 3,074 and the iPad 2020 (A12 Bionic) notched 2,685. The iPad Air 4 earned a 4,262 on the Geekbench 5 general benchmark, which beats its main competitor. With all of that going on, I opened an image in the Pixelmator Photo image editor, and saw its ML Super Resolution up-rez'ing complete in less than 30 seconds. I saw zero stutter under basic everyday usage - splitting its screen between 12 Safari tabs and a 1080p YouTube video ( The Batman 2021 trailer) - with Tweetbot open in slide-over mode. The iPad Air 4 runs on the A14 Bionic chip, which has a hexa-core CPU and a quad-core GPU, which combine to give it a serious speed advantage over most tablets. iPad Air (2020) review: A14 Bionic performance The iPad Air 5 has the same Touch ID, and lacks Face ID. The iPad Air 4's fingerprint sensor looks like one way Apple could give its iPhone 13 a Touch ID sensor if the company fails to embed the biometric scanner in its screen. Samsung gets points here, though, by giving both facial and fingerprint recognition, when Apple only offers one. The iPad Air 4's A14 Bionic chip gives it a serious speed advantage over most tablets.Įither way, the iPad Air 4's Touch ID power button is a nifty trick, and pulled off better than the Galaxy Tab S7's as I've said earlier. ![]() Why? Well, the iPad Pro's facial recognition just works, provided your hand isn't covering up that camera (I've had that happen to me a number of times, though). The Touch ID sensor in the iPad Air 4 allows for fast authentication when using Apple Pay and using passwords, but I wish they hadn't ditched Face ID. I don't know why Apple decided not to include the iPad Pro's Face ID selfie camera when the Air already has the tiny bezels that the iPad Pro fits that sensor into. The iPad Air 4 feels almost like a merger of the iPad and iPad Pro when it comes to the Touch ID fingerprint scanning power button. iPad Air (2020) review: Touch ID security I don't think most folks outside of early adopters will notice. The iPad Air 4 doesn't offer the smoothness of 120Hz refresh rates that the iPad Pro and Tab S7 do. And even in the darker scenes of this film, I saw much less of myself reflected in the tablet's screen than I had on the Galaxy Tab S7. Watching a scene of the documentary You Cannot Kill David Arquette, the hues of the actor's pink and blue luchador mask and tights stayed strong beyond the normal 30 degrees to the left and right, and even stayed accurate when I turned the iPad Air 4 85 degrees to the side. Those include full lamination and an anti-reflective coating, so it's more resistant to glare and fingerprints. The other reason to go for the iPad Air 4 over the iPad is its screen has a few extra perks. The Tab S7's 11-inch 2560 x 1600-pixel panel has a density of 276 ppi, a hair better. In terms of sharpness, the iPad Air 4 has a 264ppi pixel density, which is the same rate as you find in the normal iPad and the iPad Pro. This, again, is a measurable yet minor upgrade from the iPad Air 4. The iPad Air 5 is in the middle, at 484 nits. The iPad Pro (559 nits) gets even brighter. ![]() That includes even the normal iPad (484 nits), which is only slightly dimmer than the Galaxy Tab S7 (499 nits). The iPad Air 4 maxes out at 440 nits of brightness, a rating that's good on its own, but outshined by its competitors. The iPad Air (2022) beats its predecessor here, but its 111.8% score is only a minor upgrade. Later on, I noticed a wide range of greens in the foliage surrounding the According to our Klein K10-A colorimeter, the iPad Air 4 produces 102.9% of the sRGB color spectrum, a rate that falls under both the Galaxy Tab S7's ratings (111% on Natural mode, 152% on Vivid) and the 122.9% from the 12.9-inch iPad Pro as well. Color reproduction looked good when I watched a sneak preview for The Suicide Squad, where the reds and blues of Peacemaker's outfit practically popped off the screen. ![]() Watching a 4K version of the film Midsommar on the iPad Air 4, I saw plenty of detail when Florence Pugh's character hallucinated that her feet were made of grass, with blades of grass weaving in and out and poking up. The iPad Air 4's screen is sharp, but it could stand to be brighter. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 (10 x 6.5 x 0.2 inches, 1.1 pounds) is also a touch heavier. Measuring 9.7 x 7 x 0.2 inches and weighing 1 pound even, the iPad Air 4 has the same measurements as the 11-inch iPad Pro, while being slightly thinner and lighter than the 10.2-inch iPad (9.8 x 6.8 x 0.3 inches, 1.1 pounds).
