Black Friday tablet deals are the best I’ve ever seen, from my favorite Samsung Galaxy Tab to the fast OnePlus Pad 3, with plenty of bargain options

There are always good Black Friday deals on tablets, but this year I’m seeing some of the best deals ever on almost every tablet you’d want to buy. I’ve been using tablets since the original iPad and Galaxy Tab, and I’ve tested all of the best tablets you can buy in the US, along with our labs team testing the best tablets in the UK. No matter your needs or budget, I can recommend the right slate.

I’m seeing the lowest prices ever on almost every tablet, including the Apple iPad, which usually doesn’t see discounts this good. For instance, the base model iPad 11-inch tablet is only $279 on Amazon, it’s lowest price ever.

Even Apple’s newest iPad models are on sale. The brand new iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) with Apple’s fastest chip inside is down to $899.99, it’s first big discount to a new low price. If you need serious performance in a slate – like enough to run your own music studio – now is the best time to buy since we reviewed the iPad Pro (M5) at launch in October.

If you want a great deal on an Android tablet, you have your pick of all the best models. My favorite OnePlus Pad 3, a powerhouse Android slate with a super-fast and efficient Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset inside, is available now on Amazon for only $579.99, an all-time low price.

My favorite Samsung tablet, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, is also on sale for an all-time low price of $359.99. That tablet was incredibly durable in our testing, while still offering a sleek design and tons of professional-strength features for multi-tasking.
