Black Friday tablet deals are live – I’ve picked the best offers on iPads, Galaxy Tabs, Fire Tabs and more

Ok speaking of Android tablets, allow me to introduce a deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9. It’s not the latest Samsung Galaxy tablet but it sports a solid suite of specs.

And even better, with an 8.9-inch display, it’s compact enough to to a carry around in a coat pocket, making it a great on-the-go tablet. Though the US deal below is for the 10.9-inch model, which is very much worth a look.

A total of 64GB of storage isn’t exactly generous, but it’s enough to get you by, especially if you lean on cloud storage and streaming services.

On the Android front you have a decent suite of options. These range from a mix of Samsung Galaxy Tab series tablets, both high and lower end, to the likes of the OnePlus Pad, and then on the budget end the Amazon Fire HD 10.

My personal recommendation would be the OnePlus Pad, given its combo of specs and keen price, which is likely to drop as more Black Friday deals pop up.

Okay then, let’s first talk about some tablet deals I think you should look out for. The first cohort being iPads.

Apple’s tech slates are reassuringly expensive but do tend to get sliced in price come the big sales events. Key models tend to be older iPad Pros, say ones before the current generation which have tumbled in price and ripe for sales as the likes of Best Buy and Currys seemingly try to clear inventory.

Equally, cheaper iPad like the iPad mini (again older models) are also subject to some price cuts, with a good chunk of change ready to be saved. And even these older and less powerful iPads are more than capable for general tablet tapping; from Netflix to gaming and more. I’d personally go for a cheaper fifth-generation iPad mini or a cut-price iPad 10.1-inch.
