iPad vs. Samsung tablets visualized

Having just launched a new pair of iPad competitors last week, Samsung's tablet arsenal seems to be growing at an exponential rate. To get a better idea of just how many weapons Samsung is stockpiling in its attempt to lure customers away from Apple's much more popular tablets, I gathered a list of all the Samsung tablets launched in the past 18 months. Here they are, compared to the tablets that Apple has launched in the same amount of time.

In case you're wondering, here's the list of Samsung tablets shown in the graphic.

• Galaxy Tab S 8.4

• Galaxy Tab S 10.5

• Galaxy Tab 4 7.0

• Galaxy Tab 4 8.0

• Galaxy Tab 4 10.1

• Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2

• Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4

• Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1

• Galaxy Tab 3 Lite

• Galaxy Tab 3 7.0

• Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

• Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

• Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Kids

• Galaxy Note Pro 12.2

• Galaxy Note 8.0

• Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

This is compared to the iPad Air and 2nd generation iPad mini, which are the only two new tablets Apple launched over the same period.

So why isn't Samsung dominating Apple in tablet sales? Well, if I were in the market for a new tablet and was considering Samsung's hardware, my first question would be: How could anyone possibly choose?
