When it comes to Android tablets, you can either go cheap with Amazon or go all-out with Samsung — those are your two best options. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series is the only tablet lineup to compete against the iPad Pro, and both the Tab S8 and Tab S8+ are up to 21% off for Prime Early Access, saving you between $140 and $170 depending on how much storage you buy.

We consider the Galaxy Tab S8 Plus to be the best Android tablet available today, thanks to its beautifully smooth display with richer AMOLED colors than the LCD Tab S8 can offer. Its 4nm flagship processor and Samsung's new multitasking software lets you use the 12.4 inches of screen space to good effect, so you can watch a video and browse Chrome or work on a project at the same time — especially with DeX mode.
That being said, the Tab S8 has nearly all the same perks, including about a dozen hours of battery per charge, rich stereo sound, 120Hz refresh rate, and the same Snapdragon chip and RAM. And many will find its 11-inch size more comfortable for casual use while laying down, compared to the hulking 12.4-inch Plus.
Whichever you choose, you're saving a good chunk of money, especially if you upgrade to 256GB. Both tablets have a microSD card slot to add up to a TB of storage, but you can choose to get more built-in storage if you don't want to bother with that.
