If you’re in the market for a new Android tablet, you might be put off by the high prices of Samsung’s flagship Tab S10+ and Tab S10 Ultra.
Fortunately, there are plenty of nice budget tablets, of which the Galaxy Tab A9+ is one of the very best. It keeps many of the core features of Samsung’s premium tablets, but drops the starting price to £239/$219.99.
However, you can do much better than that for Black Friday. In Britain, Amazon has reduced the price of the 64GB model to just £154 – that’s a saving of 36%.
If you need more storage, the 128GB version costs £204 instead of £289 with a 29% discount.
In the US the deals are just as good. The 64GB model is currently available for $149, or 26% off.
Meanwhile, the 128GB version will currently cost you $199 instead of $269.99, which is also a 26% discount.
As much as we liked the device in our full Galaxy Tab A9+ review, you might be wondering: why is it behind the regular Galaxy Tab A9 in our best budget tablet guide.

In short, that comes down to availability and normal prices. The regular Tab A9 isn’t available in the US, but the A9+ is a worthy alternative. The extra costs you’ll have to pay in Britain and other markets aren’t usually worth it for most people, although these deep discounts make it a much better option.
Unless you need top performance from a tablet, the Galaxy Tab A9+ will do everything you need and more. In our 8/10 review we praised the day-to-day performance, design, audio and easy-to-use software, especially with security updates continuing until October 2027.
However, you don’t have to guarantee it for long at this price. All of these deals are part of Amazon’s Black Friday sale, which ends after Cyber Monday on December 2. Stock may sell out before then, so if you’re interested, we recommend you take advantage while you can.
If you’re in the UK and prefer the look of the regular Galaxy Tab A9, it’s currently just £105 for Black Friday.
