Some of the best Black Friday deals are those that make a cheap device even cheaper – for example, you can now get the ever-reliable Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus for just $149 (was $219.99) at Amazon.

Its 11-inch 16:10 display is perfect for watching movies and scrolling through web pages and social media, and while you won’t be taking on heavy workloads with a tablet of this price, it’s perfectly capable for everyday use.
Today's best Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus Black Friday deal
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus: was US$219.99 now US$149 at AmazonAt the discounted price of $149, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus is a no-brainer for anyone who wants a cheap, reliable Android tablet this Black Friday. The star of the show here is this tablet's 11-inch display, which offers a 1200 x 1920 resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, which is great for watching videos and scrolling through web pages. It's a tablet built for everyday use and excels in this lighter role.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus: was £159 now £148 at AO.comIn the UK, AO has knocked the price of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus down to £148. That gets you a capable everyday tablet with an 11-inch display and 64GB of storage, ideal for web surfing, streaming video, or staying connected with friends and family over social media. At this price, I don't think you'll find a more reliable cheap tablet.
View DealAs mentioned, the star of the show here is really the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus’ 11-inch display, which has a taller aspect ratio than any iPad. That means videos will fill more of the available screen space, making it a great choice for streaming.
It’s also got a quad-speaker system, 8MP rear camera and 5MP selfie camera for video calls and the occasional snap, and a thin 6.8mm design that means the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus is easy to take with you anywhere.
Under the hood, the tablet is powered by the Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 7040mAh battery – none of which are flagship specs, but all of which are perfectly fine for everyday use, and make sense for a tablet at this price point. You'll want to make sure you don't install too many large apps or download too much media to avoid filling up that 64GB of storage too quickly, though.
It really is that price point that makes this deal one worth paying attention to – you’d be hard pressed to find another reliable 11-inch tablet from a brand as reputable as Samsung for $149.99. If you’re looking for a cheap everyday companion for web surfing, watching videos, listening to music, and the odd bit of productivity or light mobile gaming, this is a real steal.
