Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 with S Pen – $100 Off

The Galaxy Tab S6 is featured on our website as one of the best tablets this year. It’s also our pick as the finest Android tablet, all thanks to its powerful specs and superb 2-in-1 capability. What’s even better is that it can function as a capable laptop replacement, especially if you don’t rely heavily on specific desktop applications to get work done. You’ll have to buy a keyboard cover to maximize its full potential, but you’ll also find lots of conveniences with the included Bluetooth S Pen. Its capabilities include pausing and skipping, taking notes, signing documents, and marking up papers.

When it comes to performance, this Samsung device is a real beast. At its core is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, a processor that powered most high-end Android phones this year. Even with several apps running and multiple browser tabs open, the Galaxy Tab S6 will not slow you down.

To match this incredibly smooth performance, Samsung gave it a stunning AMOLED display with a pixel resolution of 2,560 x 1,600. Everything looks crisp and is perfectly readable even under direct sunlight, enhanced with deep blacks and vibrant colors. Multimedia consumption is made even better with the dynamic quad-speaker setup that produces clear and dynamic sound.

Don’t pass up the chance to take home this champion of a tablet at a $100 discount this Cyber Week. Score the 128GB variant for $550 or the 256GB model for $630 on Best Buy.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e – $430 ($50 Off)

Another outstanding Samsung tablet is the Galaxy Tab S5e. It received a near-perfect score of 9 out of 10 plus an Editor’s Choice seal from the Digital Trends review team, with commendations on its greatness for games and movies. This is mostly because of the delightful AMOLED screen that will make you gaze upon in wonder. With a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, everything looks much more colorful and realistic that even videos you’re familiar with are taken into new life. It also won’t tire your eyes, perfect for long reading and gaming sessions. Four AKG-tuned speakers with support for Dolby Atmos are present as well, further enhancing the entertainment experience.

The Galaxy Tab S5e’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 is not as impressive as the one that powers the Tab S6, but it’s more than enough to drive the tablet for the tasks it’s intended for. Our review team has thoroughly tested it and concluded it offers a solid performance on movie watching, web surfing, gaming, and reading. And with a long-lasting battery to match, it’s always ready to travel.

Luxurious and capable, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e is a tablet that will appeal to Android loyalists. What makes it even more worth buying is its reasonable price, which is brought further down to $430. Order now on Best Buy while the deal is live.

How to save $400 on the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE
The standard Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE. (not the plus version)

There's always a lot of interest whenever there's a chance to get a new device for much cheaper than usual from Samsung Galaxy deals, and we don't think this will turn out any different -- the opportunity to get up to $400 off when buying the 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE through Samsung's trade-in program. That includes a regular $100 price cut plus up to $300 off with an eligible trade-in device. Instead of $550, you may be able to get the device for only $150, but you're going to have to hurry if you're interested in this offer because we're not sure how long it will remain available.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE, released less than a year ago, is the smaller cousin of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus, as the former features a 10.9-inch touchscreen with 2304 x 1440 resolution while the latter comes with a 12.4-inch touchscreen with 2560 x 1600 resolution. This makes the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE a bit more portable, and it's a fantastic mobile device for keeping yourself busy during your travels and for boosting your productivity. With its Samsung Exynos 1380 processor, an Arm Mali-G68 GPU, and 6GB of RAM, you'll be able to easily multitask between apps when you're watching streaming shows, browsing social media, and working on online spreadsheets.

If you've always wanted to buy from Samsung tablet deals, this may be the offer that you've been waiting for -- the 64GB model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with a 36% discount from Amazon, slashing its price to just $210 from its original price of $330. That's $120 in savings on a midrange tablet that's as dependable as they come, but you have to hurry with your purchase if you're interested because this is a limited-time deal. It may be gone as soon as tomorrow, so don't hesitate.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite was refreshed earlier this year in an update to its original release in 2020. We described it as the perfect iPad alternative if you've got the budget-friendly 9th-generation Apple iPad as one of your options in buying a new tablet, particularly for those who prefer an Android-powered device because all of their other gadgets are on the operating system. The device also works with the Samsung DeX system, so you can use it as an expanded desktop workstation.
