Pick the Galaxy Tab S10+ if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are peak brightness, storage, refresh rate, among others.

Pick the Surface Go 4 if you carry the device everywhere and weight or thickness has been the deciding factor before. Its strongest claims are weight.

Both ship with comparable stylus support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
