Best Early Prime Day Tablet Deals
While testing tablets, I've learned a few things. Yes, iPads really are that good, but also, Android tablets are vastly underrated. With Prime Day almost here, running June 23 to 26, I'm focused on which tablets will go on sale. Usually, iPads take big price cuts. Plus, I want to see premium Android tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra reach new all-time low prices.
But what's on sale now? Not much. Ahead of Prime Day, we're tracking tablet deals and found some deals to shop ahead of time. These deals are just OK, but if you're eager to shop now, these are the best tablets on sale at the moment.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 surprised me when I tested it. For under $400, it's a speedy device that's as user-friendly as any iPad I've tested. Plus, the user interface is similar to iOS devices for those looking to switch over. I've been tracking the price on it since testing it, and it's rarely on sale, but right now you can grab the OnePlus Pad Go 2 ahead of Prime Day for just $319.99, saving you $80.
