Black Friday is still a couple of weeks away, but there are already amazing deals and this might be the best one we’ve seen yet, saving you loads on Samsung’s brand-new Galaxy Tab A11.
Sometimes it’s best to wait for Black Friday itself, but I’d be surprised if this tablet gets any cheaper. Amazon says the deal will end on 18 November and others may follow suit, so don’t hang around if this is the right tablet for you.
Samsung only announced it a matter of weeks ago and I haven’t even finished my review of it yet, though I can say now that you’re getting a great value Android tablet even at full price.
What’s the deal?
The Galaxy Tab A11 starts at £149, already one of the cheapest tablets around, but Amazon has slashed it by a whopping £50. Normally, we’d have to wait for a big-name product like this to be about 6 months old or much more before we see a discount this big.
In fact, this price is available at plenty of other retailers, Argos, Currys, Very and the official Samsung store – so you can choose who you prefer to shop with.
The Galaxy A17 is also on sale and we’ve rounded up all the best Samsung Galaxy deals for Black Friday.
Why buy it?
As mentioned, I’ve been testing the Galaxy Tab A11 for our full review, which is coming soon, but I can tell you now that it’s going to be favourable.
The Galaxy Tab A9 was one of our favourite budget tablets of the last few years and the Tab A11 (Samsung skipped the Tab A10 model number) is more of the same.
Sure, there are downsides to the tablet, but nothing that isn’t understandable or expected at this price, let alone the deal price getting you a third off.
The design is the same and most of the specs are as well but you get a stylish slate that’s highly portable at just 8mm and a little over 300g. I can even fit it in some trouser pockets.
The display is compact at 8.7-inch but big enough to make viewing content easier than your phone. Battery life is good and you get Samsung’s popular One UI interface and you get a whopping 7 years of software support, which is essentially unheard of for a device so cheap.
Don’t expect lightning performance, the best cameras or the latest wireless tech, but this is a very cheap tablet and is suitable for a wide range of situations.
