Some tablets are powerful enough to handle tough tasks such as multimedia editing and multitasking between several apps, but if you just need a basic device, then you should consider Best Buy’s offer for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. From an already affordable original price of $160 for its 32GB model, it’s down even further to just $120. The $40 discount is part of the retailer’s three-day sale that runs through the weekend, but it’s highly recommended that you make the purchase immediately as there’s no assurance that stocks will still be available by tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite

Let’s get this out of the way — the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite isn’t going to match the performance of the best tablets, as it’s only equipped with the MediaTek MT8768T processor and 3GB of RAM. However, for its price, you can get amazing value from the device if you manage your expectations. While it’s not going to blow you away in terms of speed, it’s perfectly capable for simple functions such as browsing the internet, checking social media, and watching streaming shows on its 8.7-inch touchscreen with 1340 x 800 resolution. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is also pretty durable with its metal frame, and it can run for up to 11 hours on a single charge.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite ships with Android 11, but you’ll be able to update it to the latest version of Google’s operating system — Android 14. Another aspect that you can upgrade is its storage. If 32GB isn’t enough for you, a microSD card slot will allow you to add extra space for your apps, files, and photos of up to 1TB.

Not all tablet deals are focused on premium devices because there are also some budget-friendly options like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. In Best Buy’s ongoing three-day sale, the price of the tablet’s 32GB model has been slashed to just $120 from $160, for savings of $40. There’s still a lot of time before the sale ends, but you’re going to want to secure your own Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite as soon as possible because we’re not sure how long stocks will last. Once this bargain is over, we’re not sure when you’ll get another chance at it.

Save up to $1,150 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra today

Recent apps view on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra.

Tablets are great if you're the sort of person who doesn't want to lug around a laptop all the time and finds having a tablet an excellent alternative. If that's the case and you want to use a tablet as a laptop replacement, then you'll want to go for one of the best tablets on the market, such as the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. Luckily, there's a pretty substantial Memorial Day offer from Samsung that gives you a straight discount from $950 to $1,200, as well as up to $800 worth of trade-in credit. That means you could potentially get the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra for as low as $150, assuming you trade in a high-end tablet, although you're more likely to get half of that if yours is a couple of years old. Still, the original $250 discount plus another $400-$800 can be pretty substantial.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra
When we originally reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, our conclusion was that it was a hard tablet to recommend, primarily because it was outrageously expensive, especially since the iPad Pro is cheaper. That said, with the discount and potential trade-in credit, the price isn't so bad, and some of the other excellent features start to stand out, such as the truly massive 14.6-inch screen, which is bigger than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Of course, that does come with its own problem, which is that it's pretty heavy to hold, especially for long periods, although if you use it with a case that has a stand, that issue can be substantially mitigated.

Hurry! Get the latest iPhone SE for $149 in Walmart’s Memorial Day sale

Several Apple iPhone SE 3s

Apple is known for making some of the best phones on the market, and a lot of them come with an incredibly high price, which leaves Apple fans who have a more moderate budget out in the cold. Luckily, Apple has created a more budget-friendly entry in its lineup in the form of the iPhone SE, and when the original one came out it was quite a big deal. Since then there have been three iterations, and while they have been steadily getting more expensive, they're still well-priced and are packed with features.

Luckily, there is an early Memorial Day deal that will let you get the latest iPhone SE 3 from Walmart for just $149, although that's tied to Straight Talk. The $149 price tag is significantly cheaper than it would be if you bought it at MSRP, which is a whopping $429, so you're getting well over half off.
