Amazon is preparing for the 2026 Prime Day sale, a four-day event scheduled from June 23 to June 26. However, shoppers do not have to wait for the main event to secure excellent discounts, as early deals are already available on select Samsung Galaxy tablets.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A11: Budget-Friendly Option
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 is currently priced at £124, down from its regular £149 retail price. This limited-time discount runs until June 16, 2026. While the tablet features an 8.7-inch screen and a low-power processor, it is suitable for basic tasks such as streaming Netflix, browsing social media, checking emails, and making video calls. It comes with 64GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD up to 2TB, and includes a headphone jack. However, it is not ideal for intensive mobile gaming.
Comparison with Apple iPad
At this price, the Galaxy Tab A11 is significantly cheaper than Apple's entry-level iPad, which starts at £329. For less demanding users, the Samsung tablet offers a cost-effective alternative.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+: Premium Performance at a Discount
For those seeking a more powerful device, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ is reduced to £430.30 from £504.33. This deal ends on June 13, 2026, or when stock runs out. The tablet boasts a 12.4-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate, superior resolution and brightness compared to the Tab A11, and a slim 5.7mm profile. It is powered by a 10,090mAh battery for all-day use, is fully waterproof, and includes an S Pen stylus for writing and drawing. The device can handle demanding games and multitasking, and it supports an optional keyboard case for laptop-like functionality.
Value Proposition
At this sale price, the Tab S9 FE+ is £160 less than the iPad Air. Unlike Apple, Samsung includes the stylus in the box, adding further value. The tablet was well-reviewed at its 2023 launch, with the only noted drawback being its weight.
Additional Options
For shoppers on a tighter budget, Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet costs £99.99 and covers basic needs similar to the Tab A11. However, it runs Fire OS, which lacks Google apps, and has only 32GB of storage.
