Our mobile devices are so capable these days that even if you buy last year's flagships, the difference in performance and functionality isn't that big, particularly if you're a casual user and aren't going to be pushing the device to the max anyway.

That's why if you've been meaning to gift someone a tablet this holiday season, go ahead and opt for last year's Galaxy Tab S9. The base model is at a very attractive price right now. It's powered by the very capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, has a very handy 11-inch Dynamic AMOLED panel, and is guaranteed Samsung's exceptional software support.

The perks don't end here. It also comes with the S Pen with the same 2.8ms low latency like the more expensive models, so it ticks all of the right boxes, providing an elevated user experience at a deep discount compared to the price it was originally launched at.

Where to get the best Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 deals

For that, you'll have to head over to the company's online store. You can buy the base Galaxy Tab S9 for $599, but remember, this price is available for a limited time only. You'll get 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage with this model. The price can drop further if you have an old device to trade-in as Samsung is offering up to $500 for trade-ins.

Galaxy Tab S9 FE is a more affordable alternative

If you prefer a more attainable Galaxy Tab S9 alternative, opt for the Galaxy Tab S9 FE instead. It has a 10.9-inch display, though you're only getting an LCD panel, but the Exynos 1380 processor is capable enough for everyday tasks, even some casual gaming. You get similarly great software support which is rare for tablets in this price range.

You can buy the Galaxy Tab S9 FE from Samsung.com for just $299 right now. That's a $150 discount on top of its regular price, making this a steal. These prices are only available for a limited time, so best to open up that wallet sooner than later.
