The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra was a head-turning device when Samsung released it at the start of the 2022; offering up powerful specs, an impressive and expansive display and – perhaps most notably – the most commanding price tag in the series to date.

Luckily, although we're not even a year on from its release, Black Friday deals throughout November have shown that the company is happy to offer up some worthwhile Black Friday Samsung deals, which includes tablets like the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

The biggest discount that makes this once $1,100 (that's the starting price for the base model, by the way) such an appealing buy amidst our best Black Friday tablet deals, is that Samsung has knocked $200 off the asking price out the gate, and then shifted gears with an enhanced trade-in offer that can pull the price down to as low as $400, if you've got a worthy handset to offer in exchange.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is Samsung's ultimate tablet, packing an enormous 14.6-inch screen and plenty of power. Of course, with big power comes a big price, but Samsung itself has knocked £200 off the 128GB WiFi version for Black Friday (until November 30), making it significantly more affordable. The slate comes with an S Pen stylus too, so that's one less accessory to buy as well.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (512GB): <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2Fdp%2FB0BD4S6LCH%3Fth%3D1%26tag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" data-link-merchant="Amazon UK"">was £1,399, now £1,199 at Amazon
Samsung's best tablets are on sale at Amazon, including this amazing deal on the best of them all, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. This is one of the lowest prices we've seen on the 512GB version of Samsung's 14.6-inch Android tablet, and it comes with an S Pen stylus thrown in as standard. It may be more than most folks need, but if you want a tablet that can do everything, this is the one to buy.

This new 'ultra' class of Galaxy Tab doubles down on everything the company's slates are known for: split-screen multitasking (succeeding even in the face of Android's native ineptitude on tablets), rich stylus integration with ever-growing app support and functionality, some of the most powerful Android tablet hardware under the hood and a great AMOLED screen; in this instance, bigger than any previous Galaxy Tab S entry.

Samsung's efforts in connectivity and Windows integration mean this is perhaps the most viable of any Galaxy Tab S series slates as a wireless portable monitor too (although if you're not convinced, check out our roundup of Black Friday portable monitor deals), not to mention, that expansive AMOLED display renders this a great slate for enjoying media and, thanks to its size, even some cloud gaming.
