Samsung Galaxy Tab S9
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is a brilliant all-rounder, as good for playing games as it is for reading an eBook or browsing the Internet. It isn’t the cheapest tablet around, but it does boast some of the best specifications you’re able to find.
Most people overlook Android tablets, but Samsung makes some of the best ones in the segment. They can also often be just as expensive as an iPad, though. Now, you’re able to grab a Galaxy Tab S9 for under $500. Not the most recent model, but it will suffice for most people.
Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9, more specifically the 11-inch model, has an MSRP of $800. Being a 2023 model, it’s frequently discounted these days, but it’s rarely this low—$470 is all you’ll need to pay for this bad boy.
This tablet has an 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, making for a great display for jotting down stuff or watching shows and movies. Under the hood, the tablet is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor, the same processor that comes inside the Galaxy S23 series. Not the most recent model nor the most powerful, but it’s hard to say no to it when it’s priced in Tab FE territory. It comes with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and storage options of 128GB or 256GB, expandable via microSD—this particular discounted model comes is the base model, with 128GB of storage.
It has an S Pen in the box, which lets you jot down stuff with it. It also boasts an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, so it’s a tough nut to crack. Audio is handled by quad AKG speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and it has a decent 8,400mAh battery and fast charging capabilities that should keep the party going throughout the day despite its higher power needs compared to a smartphone.
This tablet rarely goes for this low, so if you’ve been looking for a cheap Android tablet, this is a pretty nice deal. Make sure to get yours before it’s gone!
