If you're on the hunt for a reliable tablet not made by Apple, this is a good sale to check out. Currently, Amazon, and are selling the base-model for $670. That's $130 off the list price and the lowest price we've seen yet, beating the previous low it hit a ago. The Tab S9 family is our for Android tablets, thanks to their multitasking abilities, great screens and useful available accessories like keyboards.

The tablet's DeX mode creates an environment similar to a PC in which you can easily flit between different apps and windows, making it easier to do more complex tasks. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors are speedy to support all of that productivity and the OLED displays look gorgeous. One of our few concerns in recommending the Tab S9 series is they tend to be expensive, but the $130 discount takes away some of that hesitation.
The base model that's on sale here comes with 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, an 11" Dynamic AMOLED touchscreen, an IP68 dust- and water-resistance rating and support for Wi-Fi 6E. The included S Pen can be used for taking notes by hand, doodling and making art. Other accessories, like , are sold separately, and we can't help but notice the current price of that add-on is nearly the same as the discount on the tablet.
For a less expensive tablet, it's worth noting that the budget recommendation from our is also on sale. The is $50 off and down to $220 at Walmart. The , which we think is the best pick for a tablet that doubles as a smart display, is 20 percent off and down to $399 at Amazon. That matches its all-time low.
