One of our favorite Samsung tablets is the Galaxy Tab S9, and one of our favorite things about it is its compactness. Right now we also love its price, as Amazon has it discounted more than 20% ahead of its Prime Big Deal Days sale. The Galaxy Tab S9 regularly goes for $920, but while this deal lasts you can grab it for $726. That’s good for $194 in savings, and this deal is on the 256GB storage model.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9

While we love the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 for its portability, Samsung has held little back in terms of performance with this compact tablet. It has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, which was the most powerful tablet processor Samsung had ever used at the time of the Galaxy Tab S9’s release. All of that performance comes in handy with this tablet, too, as there is a lot of AI onboard.

The AI integrations are similar to what you’ll find in other Samsung tablets, and they stack up well against some of the AI integrations in the best tablets on the market. Circle To Search allows you to look up information about anything that’s on the tablet’s screen at any given time simply by circling it with your finger or stylus. AI can also chip in with note taking, where it can transform your notes into a clear summary.

Samsung has also packed an impressive display into the Galaxy Tab S9. It checks in at 11 inches and utilizes AMOLED 2X technology. The screen can display bright colors with deep contrast, and Vision Booster technology automatically adjusts its brightness and contrast based on what you’re watching and the lighting environment you’re watching it in.

The 256GB storage capacity in this model is an upgrade over the 128GB base storage option, which is part of why we feel the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 makes such a great deal right now. It’s regularly priced at $920 with 256GB of storage, but while this deal lasts you can make it yours for $726.
