Not the same. I have Samsung Note 10.1. I got it last year January. It was the best you could get back then.
I love everything about it, except the port. You would think I could link via USB, but Samsung doesn’t make a linkage through the usb.
There are two ways I share files. 1. Connect it to the network via wireless and my pc connects to its drives like any other computer. 2. Use the memory card in the computer’s port and load files directly.
The third way is slow, to use dropbox.
Other than that complaint, I love it.
The samsung has a real gps in it. Instead of using cell phone towers, it really gets data from gps satellites.
It also has an infrared projector. This lets you use your tablet to control your television...really nice. And any other item that uses an infrared receiver, like a stereo.
the samsung I saw was brand spankin new like a week new and it had usb ports
