Amazon has the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ on sale for just under $200
SAVE $70: As of May 15, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ with 128GB of storage and WiFi only is on sale for $199.99. That's 26% off its full cost of $269.99.
If you want a tablet that simply serves as a tablet, you don't need to spend a fortune. The reliable and capable Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ checks all the boxes a low-cost tablet should — and it's on sale for just under $200.
As of May 15, you can grab the Galaxy Tab A9+ with 128GB of storage and WiFi connectivity for $199.99 instead of $269.99. That's a savings of 26% and just $20 shy of its best price on record.
While it's not as fancy as the Galaxy S9 lineup, the A9+ can still handle your everyday tasks proficiently. The A9+ is the latest model in the A series, which is essentially a budget-friendly version of Samsung's flagship S series. It features an 11-inch display with slim bezels to make for an immersive viewing experience, plus an ultrathin build overall (just 6.9mm thick) ensuring seamless portability. The A9+ also packs quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, expandable storage up to 1TB, and OK battery life (it's fine, but nothing to write home about).
Our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) dubbed it the "best low-cost Android tablet you can buy" last year. They even gave it the coveted Editors' Choice award for affordable Android tablets. It's not perfect or crazy powerful, but it handles everyday tasks — like streaming TV, answering emails, browsing the web, or even running moderately intensive games — like a dream. The subpar battery life can certainly be overlooked for less than $200.
