There are a ton of solid Android tablets on the market, but several of the best options come from Samsung. It’s one of the few brands that can actually compete with Apple in the tablet arena with quality hardware and a software ecosystem making it a viable alternative to the iPad. And right now you can nab yourself a Samsung Galaxy tablet for much less than usual with up to 18% off regular prices at Amazon.
If you want to grab yourself something a bit more budget friendly, one of the cheapest options in the sale is this Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, which has an 11-inch screen. It comes with an entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, which is still relatively powerful, and 64GB of storage. You can snag it for just $180, instead of $220, and if you’d prefer a bit more storage, there’s a 128GB model for $230 instead. Both options can be expanded inexpensively via a microSD card, too.
There are also a couple of great mid-range options, such as this 10.9-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, which runs Samsung’s own Exynos 1380 processor. It’s IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, making it a little more rugged, and comes with 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM, which should give you a very smooth experience. You can grab the Tab S9 FE for $370 or, if you want a bit more screen space, you can get the larger 12.4-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus for $500 — a saving of $100.
Finally, if you want something powerful, then the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is the way to go for $680 instead of $800. Not only does it have the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, but it also has a gorgeous AMOLED screen. Upgrade to the 256GB version and you’ll save a huge $150.
Of course, if none of these tablets really do it for you, then be sure to check out these other excellent tablet deals as well.
