Update 10/7/24: This was a fun one. It originally looked like Walmart was beating out Amazon right and left on Galaxy Tab deals… until we looked beyond the number. Many of the Walmart deals were technically better than what we see on Amazon, but at present it seems like many were locked to Latin America, which is a place where most of our readership doesn’t go. The Amazon deals clearly label they are the US version when applicable and the one deal we found from Best Buy does not have this reporting issue. Note that if you are from Latin America, you should check out Walmart’s deals, but even then be somewhat cautious.
If you want to take advantage of Samsung tablet deals but you missed the discounts from Amazon’s Prime Day deals in July, you’ve got another chance with the Prime Big Deal Days. The shopping event will run on October 8 and 9, slashing the prices of various models of Samsung tablets. Whether you want a budget-friendly device or you want a flagship model, you’ll surely find something that will catch your eye among our recommendations below.
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days deals will be challenged by offers from other retailers, as they’ll try to keep up with the shopping activity. That means even more options for everyone who wants a new Samsung tablet, but if you find a bargain that you like, you’ll have to hurry. We’re not sure how long stocks will last for these tablet deals, so complete your purchase as soon as possible.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 11-inch, 64GB — $175 $220 20% off

How to choose a Samsung tablet on Prime Day
Samsung tablets come in all shapes and sizes, from affordable models to high-end devices. This wide price range will dictate the first thing that you need to consider — how much you’re willing to spend during Prime Big Deal Days. It’s highly recommended that you determine your budget, then choose the tablet that maximizes it. Fortunately, with the discounts from the shopping event, your money will go a longer way than usual.
There are lots of features in Samsung tablets, including powerful performance, access to voice assistants, and crystal clear cameras. However, one of the more important deciding factors is the screen size. If you need a portable tablet that you can comfortably hold in one hand to browse social media and read ebooks, go for an 8-inch screen or smaller. However, if you want a large display for working on graphics and watching streaming shows, you’ll want a 10-inch screen or larger.
How we chose these Samsung tablet Prime Day deals
The discounts of Prime Big Deal Days go from tiny to massive, and of course we focused our recommendations as close to the latter as possible.

This kind of price cut brings premium devices within the budget of more people, and that’s the experience that we want you to enjoy.
