Today's best Samsung Galaxy Tab A deals
Our Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 review says this cheap device is a well-made mid-range tablet that's aimed at those that don't want to spend too much. It's best suited for anyone looking to enjoy streaming shows or getting some light gaming in on the move. It has a 10.5-inch 1200 x 1920 screen along with four speakers that have Dolby Atmos audio.
A decent-sized 7,040mAh battery means this has 'make your commute more interesting' written all over it while there's a 5MP front-facing camera for when you need to take video calls. For the price, it has the bases covered, right down to an always-useful 3.5mm headphone port.
Thanks to it being simple yet useful, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 is reasonably well-priced. It starts at $230 / £219 but it's often discounted – and even outside of major sales events you can find it with a saving of around $60 / £50. Count on seeing it get even cheaper around Black Friday and other sales events.
The Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite is a highly affordable tablet, even if it's far from revolutionary. It has a basic processor but its 8.7-inch screen means you have a good amount of screen space to watch or browse, while also maintaining portability.
USB-C proves useful for charging, plus there's a headphone jack so you're not entirely dependent on its two speakers. There's Dolby Atmos support at least for those times you need them.
Mostly targeting the budget end of the market, the Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite starts at $160 / £149 but it's often modestly discounted to make it better value for money. Even in regular times of the year, it can be reduced to $149 / £117 with Black Friday and Cyber Monday likely to bring it lower.
Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A worth it?
The Samsung Galaxy A8 is pricier than the Amazon Fire tablet range, but in exchange, you get full access to the Google Play Store and that's a huge boon for many users. Besides that, features like Dolby Atmos speakers and a slightly larger screen than even the Amazon Fire HD 10 make it an attractive option. Competing against any of the best iPads is a trickier proposition but that's because the Samsung Galaxy Tab S range is there to do that job.
For the Samsung Galaxy A7 Lite, it's a similar story. Advantages like Dolby Atmos speakers make it a more appealing idea than going for Amazon's array of tablets. Although if you simply need something for web browsing or checking your email, a Fire tablet will do the job well, while costing less. It all depends on the value you place on unfettered access to Google Play Store and if you want an entertainment-focused tablet or not.
