Best Amazon Prime Day Tablet Deals for 2025

Prime Day is the day tablet price tags finally give it to you straight. Inventory clears, bundles surface, and models that normally never budge tick down to what price trackers know as the true lows. I have spent the buildup poring over price histories, spec sheets, and real-world testing notes to select the 19 deals that stand out for value, performance, and longevity.

As a point of reference, IDC and Canalys analysts say that tablet sell-through is heavily weighted toward promotional windows, with the best buys typically requiring some sort of price cut on mid-cycle hardware or including significant upgrades in accessories or storage. With that in mind, here are the deals worth prioritizing.

My 19 Favorite Prime Day Tablet Deals Worth Buying

Apple iPad 11th Gen 10.9-inch

This is the best reliable all-rounder on sale for $299 (around $50 off), and it is the surest bet out there to get software updates over multiple years, along with a vast array of apps in its library for students and casual creators.

Apple iPad Pro 13-inch M4

With a $200 saving, this is the OLED show-off that houses Apple’s fastest tablet chip and the most expansive color accuracy I have measured on any mobile display this year.

Apple iPad Air M2 11-inch

The sweet spot for most buyers; expect triple-digit discounts on the 256GB version, which tends to have a better cost per gigabyte than the base model.

Apple iPad mini 6

At a value price drop, it’s the absolute best small tablet you can buy for reading, gaming, and travel; battery life and one-handed ergonomics trump larger slates in the same price range.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S11

Priced at around $800, with about $60 off, this AMOLED performer supports desktop-grade DeX mode and low latency for note-taking and digital artists.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE

The FE series is known for undercutting premium tabs but pulling off ridiculously high water resistance and throwing in a stylus as well—few rivals at this level have both.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus

A reliable budget Android slate that excels for entertainment and light productivity; Prime Day usually delivers one of its best prices of the year.

OnePlus Pad 3

For $624 with a $75 discount, it offers a smooth 144Hz display, strong multi-window performance, and battery life that takes me through a cross-country trip.

OnePlus Pad (last-gen)

If you catch the previous model on a deep sale, pick it up; its 7:5 aspect ratio is great for reading and docs, and day-to-day speed remains very good.

Google Pixel Tablet with Charging Speaker Dock

This is $71 off and, at about $328, it doubles as a smart display and beats most regular tablets on your kitchen counter with the audio boost from the dock.

Amazon Fire Max 11

Amazon’s speediest Fire device offers the best value with a keyboard and stylus in the box; bonus for undercutting the tablet-only MSRP.

Amazon Fire HD 10 (latest gen)

Typically one of the best prices you can get a family tablet for; pair with a microSD card during the sale to cheaply extend storage for offline video.

Amazon Fire 7 Kids

When Kids Edition devices go on sale, they come with a rugged case, a two-year worry-free replacement, and a year of its kid-focused content service at far less than buying those as piecemeal add-ons.

Lenovo Tab P12 with Keyboard

Lenovo’s bundle pricing on Prime Day is always aggressive, classing up a nice media slate and making it into a credible note-taker and light worker.

Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2

It’s nearly impossible to find an OLED 120Hz panel at midrange pricing, and if you come across a real discount and find the Dell tablet too expensive, this is the Android pick for cinephiles.

Microsoft Surface Go 4

Expect discounts on the higher RAM and storage tiers; Windows on a fathomable slate is great for web apps, pen notes (pending the right stylus), and full desktop Office in an easy-to-travel size.

Onyx Boox Note Air Series

E Ink tablets are niche but excellent for distraction-free reading and annotation; Prime Day is one of the few times they get noteworthy discounts.

Wacom One Pen Display

It’s not a standalone tablet, but for artists, the most bang for your buck comes from a cheap pen display plugged into a laptop.

How I Chose These Tablets and What Really Matters Most

I prioritized devices with at least four years of platform and security updates, robust accessory ecosystems, and displays confirmed by independent testing firms to be color-accurate and bright. Apple’s tablet update pace, Samsung’s long-term Android support, and Google’s Tensor-optimized features loomed large.

I also checked price history using popular trackers and retailer data summaries cited by market watchers at IDC and NPD. The biggest red flags: base models being offered at a discount while higher-tier models are holding closer to list; or bundles that tack on low-value options in order to conceal thin cuts.

How to Choose a Tablet on Prime Day Without Regrets

• Act fast on storage upgrades, not just stock configurations: The 256GB or 512GB models often receive the steepest percentage cuts and also reduce your reliance on clouds when traveling.
• Mind the accessories math. A discounted tablet bundled with a keyboard, pen, and case might be more than you would have paid for it all prebuilt; alternatively, pass on bundles if you didn’t want a first-party keyboard or pen anyway.
• Consider trade-ins. Official trade-in credits from major brands and retailers often stack with Prime Day pricing and can make the difference between a good deal and a great one.
• Read update policies and the warranty terms. Consumer advocacy groups prove time and again that longer software support translates into better long-term value and resale, which is worth more than an additional 5% off today.
