The internet's biggest 48-hour sale of the year is set to kick off on July 16th, but there are already a surprising number of early Prime Day tablet deals available if you know where to look. Whether you want to order a sweet device today or you simply have a question about the upcoming Amazon sale, this guide has you covered.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus 512GB: $1,119.99 $999 at Amazon

Samsung's Tab S9 series is impressive but far from cheap, so we were excited to see this Amazon deal drop 11% off the perfectly balanced Galaxy Tab S9 Plus (512GB version only). That $120 discount is basically like getting a free storage upgrade, no strings attached.

Prime Day FAQ

When is Prime Day?

Amazon has officially confirmed that Prime Day 2024 will run from July 16th through July 17th, so mark your calendars!

How do I find the best tablet deals during Prime Day?

In addition to watching Amazon's official Top Deals page, I recommend using a price tracker like Camelcamelcamel.com so you can see specific items' discount history in real time. Of course, if you're on the hunt for an Android device during Prime Day, keep an eye on our site for all of the best deals and shopping advice. 

Do I have to be a Prime member?

Prime Day was originally introduced as a way to incentivize Prime subscribers, so you'll need to be a member if you want to enjoy the vast majority of deals during the sale. If you're not a Prime member yet, consider signing up for Amazon's free 30-day trial so you can take advantage of the deals for free. Just don't forget to set a reminder to cancel your trial before the month wraps up. Plans start at $14.99 per month after the trial period. 

How often does Amazon do Prime Day sales? 

Although there's technically only one Prime Day event each summer, Amazon usually holds a similar sale event each October. The discounts found during these fall sales aren't quite as impressive as Prime Day's offerings, but they present some pretty great money-saving opportunities if you're trying to get your holiday shopping done early.
