There’s a reason Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S9 FE is our pick as the most affordable Android tablet. So if you were on the fence before, you can now buy the Wi-Fi model with 128 GB storage for $329, which is $120 off the regular price of $449.
This deal applies to the gray colorway of the Galaxy Tab S9 FE tablet bundled with the S Pen. Mint and silver are also available, but at slightly higher prices at $339 and $349, respectively.
Why you should buy Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE
The Galaxy Tab S9 FE (review) was launched last year with notable upgrades from the previous Fan Edition Galaxy tablet. Some features that stood out to us include a cleaner, yet more modern design with a uniform bezel on the front. Built with an aluminum chassis, it feels just as premium as the more expensive standard Tab S9, and it also has an IP68 dust and water rating, a feature that’s still rare in tablets.
The FE tablet also features a fast 10.9-inch IPS LCD screen that refreshes at 90Hz. This panel is compatible with the S Pen that Samsung ships with the tablet, eliminating the need to purchase a third-party active stylus.

There’s a reliable 12 MP front-facing camera with ultra-wide-angle optics, and an 8 MP rear snapper records up to 4K video. Additionally, the AKG-tuned stereo speakers output crisp, loud audio that rivals standalone portable Bluetooth speakers.
Under the hood, the Galaxy Tab S9 FE is powered by a mid-range Exynos 1380 SoC and is configured with up to 8GB of RAM. This setting provides more than adequate performance when the browser handles multiple tabs or runs two apps in parallel. Between charges, the tablet’s battery is rated to last more than a day with moderate use, and several days when combined with light work.
