The biggest, boldest, and overall greatest Android tablets deserve to get the deepest discounts, and while many bargain hunters are eagerly anticipating tomorrow’s official start of the Amazon Prime Day 2024 celebrations, Best Buy has taken us all by surprise with today’s Black Friday in July event kick-off.
This campaign requires no special membership or anything that would normally qualify as a “string attached” to a phenomenal deal on an amazing device like the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Samsung’s latest enormous slate with a super-premium design and ultra-high-end specifications can be yours right now for as little as $949.99, which is… obviously not very little.
But it does represent a rare $250 markdown over a list price of $1,199.99 for an entry-level 256GB storage configuration. Even better, the tablet’s 512GB and 1TB variants are on sale at completely unprecedented and totally irresistible discounts of $300 and $350 from regular prices of $1,319.99 and $1,619.99 respectively.
The latter top-of-the-line model, mind you, pairs a colossal 16GB RAM with its extremely generous one terabyte of local digital hoarding room, while the slightly more affordable units “only” come packing 12 gigs of the good stuff.
The rest of the Tab S9 Ultra’s specifications are just as impressive, including everything from an outstanding 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 120Hz refresh rate technology (and unfortunately an unfashionable notch) to an absolutely massive 11,200mAh battery capable of charging at up to 45W speeds, no less than four great cameras in total, as well as four powerful speakers.
The cherry on top of this bad boy’s unrivaled value cake is probably a built-in S Pen, but if you also want a productivity-maximizing keyboard, we’re afraid you’ll have to pay extra. In case you’re wondering, that $1,019.99 variant with 512GB internal storage is currently a lot cheaper than a 2024-released iPad Pro 13 with towering Apple M4 processing power… in a 256GB configuration… with no stylus included.Â
That kind of makes it really hard to turn down Samsung’s state-of-the-art Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, don’t you think?
