We can’t believe how fast this Prime Day Samsung tablet deal has sold
Samsung's top-end tablet picked up a stellar score in our review, and it can now be yours for its lowest price ever – if you're quick
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra is the most expensive of Samsung’s tablets, with the smallest 256GB model commanding a cool £1,199 when we reviewed it plus £150 on top for 5G connectivity, but now you can grab it (5G included) for just £949 in today’s Amazon Prime Day sale.
The larger 512GB and 1TB models also receive genuine discounts, with the 512GB falling from an average Amazon price of £1,199 to £1,049 and the 1TB falling from an average £1,561 to £1,299. That puts all three sizes at their lowest price ever.
Our computing expert Jonathan Bray gave the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra four stars out of five in his review and called it the best Android productivity tablet around. Its price was undeniably steep, however, so we expect this deal to turn many heads. Hurry if you’re interested, because it’s likely to sell out before Prime Day ends at midnight on Wednesday 17 July.
