The Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra came out in 2022 and was widely regarded as the best Android tablet available until it was eclipsed by the Tab S9 Ultra last year. Right now, Best Buy is offering the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra for $699.99 (originally $1,099.99). This matches its all-time lowest price, according to my favorite price-tacking tools.
Despite not being the latest and greatest Samsung tablet, it is still one of the best Android tablets you can buy right now, especially if you're looking for a deal. The S8 Ultra comes with a 14.6-inch display, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of internal memory, and a 2960 x 1848 screen resolution . The tablet is only available in the Graphite color and comes with the S-Pen stylus and a free month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
The tablet has an AMOLED display and has surprisingly good sound for a tablet. While the S8 Ultra doesn't come with a keyboard, you can get the official one from Amazon used for $99. Although the tablet has 5G capabilities, this is the wifi-only version, so you can't take it to your cell phone carrier to add 5G.
If you've used or owned tablets before, you're probably used to screens on the smaller end. This model's 14.6-inch screen is one of the largest tablets Samsung has made—and is larger than many compact laptops—so if you're expecting a small portable tablet, think again. This is a productivity-focused tablet that can double as a laptop with its screen size, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, plus the ability to get a full keyboard.
