Couldn’t really find anything about it, but speaking about the screen, does the 12.9 iPad 2018 to the 12.9 iPad 2017 has anything better in screen?

Looking at the specs, it’s the excact same screen with a new name and rounded corners.

On the reviews Everybody is saying the screen is gorgeous(which ofcourse was for the 10.5 inch as well.) . Hope they would have made this 326 PPI(no harm) , but they are same.

Apple would have noted this in not only the keynote, but in their developer documentation that they released alongside the new models. They talked about the new aspect ratio in the 11" models, the slightly smaller usable screen area on the 12.9" due to the home indicator area at the bottom, and the addition of rounded corners on both models requiring potential adjustments to UI elements. Nothing about sizing elements.

The iPad is 264PPI. When they move to @3X retina with the OLED/mLED iPad sometime in the next few years, it will likely be 396PPI because that is a clean @3X retina. That is unless they mess with the UI point scaling slightly like they did on the iPhone X. What that means is that the base size of UI elements changes in physical real-world dimension, either slightly smaller or slightly larger, and then the PPI they use for @3X assets is relative to that.
