I’m a big tablet fan and have reviewed many over the years. Thanks to that, I was able to find out which model suits my needs, from reading comic books to e-books to annotating my writing and media consumption. I tend to use tablets more for entertainment than work, but I’m always drawn to models that do both: workhorse models that allow me to complete tasks while looking good. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our favorite tablet deals from Amazon’s latest Prime Day. These are certainly tablets that I would personally buy. I’m sharing this list with AP readers so you don’t miss out on the tablet deals I’m most excited about. Let’s dig deeper.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is a premium tablet that looks and feels great, with top performance thanks to its Snapdragon processor. If you’re looking for the best 11-inch tablet for Android, you’ve found it.
Samsung adopted Mediatek chips in its Tab S10 line this year. That said, last year’s Tab S9 line, all using Snapdragon’s 8 Gen 2, might be considered a better buy, at least if you’re into gaming. This is why Amazon’s current Galaxy Tab S9 sale is such a great deal. It has great specs with a killer chip. Even though this is last year’s model, I’d still choose it over the new S10. So I guess it’s worth saving a few bucks along the way.
I love the Tab S9, and it’s hands down the most used tablet in my house, and that has a lot to do with its screen. You get a 16:10 ratio (11 inches of 2560 x 1600 with support for a high refresh rate of 120Hz). This ratio isn’t just perfect for media, as most games, TV shows, and movies support 16:9.
I also found that 16:10 is the perfect ratio for reading modern manga. It has letterboxing but no pillarboxing, so double splash pages can easily transition into each other (unlike the iPad’s 4:3 ratio, which adds pillarbox gaps between pages). Add a high refresh rate OLED screen and your images, animations, and videos will all look great. So not only is this tablet powerful with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, but its 11-inch and 16:10 ratio makes it the perfect choice for consuming the latest media, from comics to games to videos. is.
The Tab S9 normally retails for $800, but you can get it for $618 during this Prime Day sale, saving you over $180. This is a steal for a tablet that I still think is the best tablet on Android in the 11-inch screen range.

Google originally marketed the Pixel Tablet as a smart hub thanks to the dock, but even without the dock, the tablet can still be a great hub for controlling your smart home, especially if you live within Google’s ecosystem. It will be.
Next up is the Google Pixel Tablet. This may not have been a hot topic at the time of its release, but as we all know, it was released with a speaker dock, which not only drove up the price, but there was no way to buy it without it at the time. It was. Docks and their additional costs. Google finally got the hang of it and started selling tablets without the unnecessary speaker dock. This is the model currently on sale for $100 off.
Thanks to the smart home technology I’ve introduced over the last year, I’ve been using my Pixel Tablet more often as a tablet in my living room. Whether it’s alerting you when your doorbell rings, easily adjusting your temperature settings, or checking in on your dog in your backyard with a floodlight camera, all from your tablet at arm’s length in your living room, all with Pixel. We would like to be able to do this on a tablet. On my side. What’s more, all of my smart home technology also comes from Google, so I feel most comfortable with these features when using devices within the Pixel ecosystem. So for me, the Pixel Tablet shines when it’s within Google’s ecosystem. Additionally, you get a 16:10 screen ratio, just like the Tab S9. Although this 10.95-inch screen doesn’t offer high frame rates, this ratio allows modern media to fit the screen well.
So if you don’t need the most expensive, most performing tablet like the Tab S9 and want to save money while still getting valuable features, that tablet for me is the Pixel Tablet (and of course the dock). None). You can get it for $300, which is $100 off the retail price of $400. This is a great deal on Prime Day.

This is OnePlus’ first tablet, and it’s a very nice product, offering a square 7:5 ratio that iPad users will feel at home with. It’s powerful enough for all kinds of tasks while also offering great build quality.
Last but not least, there’s the original OnePlus Pad. This is a tablet that deviates from the norm and could easily go head-to-head with Google’s Pixel Tablet. I think the OnePlus Pad is more attractive than the Pixel Tablet. The metal back looks and feels premium (the Pixel Tablet has a plastic back). Additionally, unlike the Pixel Tablet and Galaxy Tab S9, both of which are 16:10, the OnePlus Tab has a 7:5 screen ratio, which falls between 3:2 and 4:3 for a more square display. . So if you’re used to using an iPad, or don’t like the 16:10 screen height when held in portrait orientation, you might prefer the 7:5 ratio that OnePlus has chosen.
This means that most media will be letterboxed or pillarboxed. Still, it also means that reading on the device is much more comfortable thanks to its square shape. So, if you’re the type of person who uses your tablet a lot to read websites and e-books, you’ll definitely want to choose the OnePlus Pad over the Pixel. However, although the shape is different, the screen size is similar to the two options above, at 11.61 inches. Additionally, unlike the Pixel, you get a high refresh rate screen that reaches 144Hz, ensuring smooth animations and gameplay.
Normally, the OnePlus Pad retails for $480, but thanks to this sale, you can buy it for $350, which is $130 off the retail price. This is a great deal for tablet lovers like me on Prime Day.
