If you are planning to pick up a new tablet at the start of the New Year, Samsung’s latest slabs are now part of a sale at major retailers. For instance, the Galaxy Tab S11 has just plunged to $629, down from $799 for the base model with 256GB storage.
This is the lowest price yet for the tablet, which translates to a big $170 discount (21%). The deal applies to the Wi Fi model in the Gray colorway. If you opt for the Silver color, it is also reduced to $699, which is still a considerable $100 cut.
Why Pick The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11
Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab S11 (review) series in September last year, reviving the standard model after skipping it in the Tab S10 line. This means that willing buyers now have the option of a more affordable high end slab.
The Galaxy Tab S11 remains the smaller and more portable entry in the flagship large screen device offerings from the company. Its chassis is made of an enhanced aluminum material and retains the IP68 dust and water resistance certification. Its 11 inch AMOLED display is several notches brighter, peaking at 1,600 nits. At this level, it stays legible even when you are doing tasks on a sunny day. The S Pen comes included in the box.
Samsung has opted for the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset in the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra. The chip provides performance comparable to the Snapdragon 8 Elite from Qualcomm. In real world performance, the tablet does not slow down under heavy load and now supports faster AI tasks. This should give you a speedy tablet for many years, which is matched by the extended Android software policy.
The Galaxy Tab S11 has powerful quad stereo speakers with clear and crisp audio. This removes the need to connect an external speaker when you are streaming movies or videos. Plus, the tablet has a large 8,400 mAh battery that provides a few days of running time with light to modest usage. Refilling the juice is quick, going from flat to full in just over an hour.
