Best Prime Day Deals
Digital Trends

Prime Day is over, but it seems like a few companies forgot to take down their Prime Day deals. Tablets are a great way to play with apps or spend a lazy day on the couch watching shows from the Prime Day streaming service deal that you might pick up as well. Just be sure to wear headphones from one of these Prime Day headphones deals so you don’t annoy your family while jamming out. In any event, the following Prime Day tablet deals come from a variety of brands, including Android tablets from Samsung and Lenovo, but we’ve also noted a shocking number of Apple Prime Day deals for Prime Day iPad deals this year as well, so you can get a great iPad on the cheap. Here are our top picks.

Is Prime Day a good time to buy a tablet?

Prime Day, as is the case every year, is an excellent time to purchase electronic devices such as tablets, especially if you think Black Friday is still too far away. The discounts will come not from from Amazon, but also from retailers like Best Buy and Walmart, and manufacturers like Samsung and Lenovo.

How to choose a tablet on Prime Day 2024

With all the tablets that are out there, the task of narrowing down your options may be overwhelming for some people. We wouldn’t blame you, as there’s simply too many brands and models to choose from. However, if you need a recommendation, look no further than our roundup of the best tablets, which currently has the 5th-generation Apple iPad Air as the top overall tablet and the OnePlus Pad as our favorite Android tablet. Any discount that we find for these two devices should definitely be up for consideration, but because of high demand, they’re expected to sell out quickly.

These two tablets aren’t the only ones worth buying from this year’s Prime Day tablet deals though. To come up with your own decision, you’ll first have to decide between iPadOS and Android as your operating system of choice. From there, you should take a look at the screen size, as that would dictate whether you prefer portability and being able to hold the tablet comfortably in one hand, or a bigger and brighter look at websites and streaming shows. If you’re planning to take photographs or join video conferences using the tablet, you’ll also want the highest-resolution camera that you can get, and if you’ll be multitasking between several apps, you have to check the power of the tablet’s processor and the RAM that it comes with.

Ultimately though, the most important factor in choosing a tablet for Prime Day is how much you’re willing to spend. With the shopping holiday’s discounts, your cash will get you farther than it normally would. Cheap tablets will become more affordable, and premium tablets will get you savings that you can use towards other accessories, so there will be something for everyone if you shop on Prime Day. You’re going to have to be quick with your purchase though, as the offer that you’ve had your eye on may no longer be there if you decide to return to it at a later time.

This is the best Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra pre-order deal
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's Quick Settings screen.

Samsung's newest entry in the S line just dropped this week, and it already has some great phone deals. Today, you can pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and enjoy some considerable discounts. In typical Samsung style, there are a ton of benefits to reap here. There’s a considerable $120 discount on the 512GB variety of the phone, but you also gain $80 in Samsung credit to use on anything else on the site. It gets better: there’s up to $900 instant trade-in credit too depending on the phone you’re trading in, meaning the phone could cost as little as $400 once you factor in the discount and credit on the usual price of $1,420. Want to learn more about the phone? Let’s take a look.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S range is slipping down the rankings of the best phones or best Android phones, but it’s still a much loved range. While we don’t have a full review of the latest model just yet, we do have a great comparison of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max, so you know which flagship model to consider.

If you're a fan of the Samsung S24 lineup of phones, then you'll be happy to know that Samsung has just announced its latest lineup of S25 phones, and you can pre-order them already. There have been quite a few upgrades this generation, although one of the big talking points this year revolved around AI and the effort Samsung has put into integrating it into their phones. You can check out more information on our Samsung Unpacked 2025 event roundup for a breakdown of what Samsung talked about, and if you're ready to pre-order, we've collected all the best pre-order deals for you below.
Best S25 deals from Samsung
You can pre-order the Samsung S25 directly from Samsung, and while it doesn't have a direct discount, you can get up to $500 in trade-in credit, which brings it down to $300, and you can also get another $50 in Samsung Credit which will bring it down to just $250. You can also snag the S25, which does have $100 in direct savings that brings the price down to $1,020 from $1,120, plus you can trade-in and get up to another $700 in credit. Finally, you can snag yourself a pre-order for the Samsung S25 Plus with a $120 direct discount which brings it down to $1,300, and there is even another $900 trade-in credit you can get depending on the device you trade in.
There is also a full break-down of the Samsung pre-order deals on the Samsung S25, as well more information on the Samsung S25 Ultra pre-order deals from Samsung.

Best S25 deals from Amazon
One of the most clearcut deals is from Amazon on the S25, which gives you a direct $100 discount, bringing it down to just $800, rather than the usual $900. That's an 11% discount on the 128GB version of the S25, which is pretty substantial given that it's still in pre-order. Unfortunately, Amazon isn't offering any deals on the S25 Plus or the S25 Ultra, but we'll keep an eye out and update this page when and if we see any deals on them.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is a great high-end tablet option for Android fans, and an ideal choice for someone seeking one of the best tablets (although the S10 Ultra has booted the S9 off that list). When we reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, we described it as “fast, and it has a gorgeous display, great audio, and a lot more. It's an amazing gadget, but you probably don't need it.” That remains true, but it's much more tempting with this significant price cut.
