Some deals are still lingering after the Labor Day weekend and one’s caught my eye if you’re shopping for a budget Android tablet. Right now, you can get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE at Amazon for $429.99 (was $499.99).
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE is the base model of Samsung’s budget tablet series, a cheaper alternative to the more powerful and much more expensive Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. This is the 10.9-inch screen model with 128GB of storage, which should be enough for casual users.
It’s a reliable tablet for work and school with its lengthy battery life, included S Pen stylus for note-taking, and DeX mode for managing tabs like a desktop. It doesn’t have the horsepower of a full-fledged Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, but it’s more than enough for a mid-range productivity machine.

We didn’t review the Galaxy Tab S10 FE, but we did review its larger sibling, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus. In our Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE Plus review, we praised the bright display, which held up even in direct sunlight, and the tablet’s unusually sturdy exterior with an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. Even though it didn’t stand out compared to its competitors, it still offered plenty of strengths that are worth this discounted price.
If you need something more heavy-duty, I’d recommend looking at the more premium options in our best tablets or best Android tablets. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you can check out our best cheap tablets for tablets less than $350.
