Best Buy drops prices on Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and S5e tablets during Cyber Week

Two of the best Android tablets on the market right now are the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and Galaxy Tab S5e, and they’re discounted on Best Buy for Cyber Week.

The Apple iPad Pro may hold the spot as the best tablet, but not everyone is a fan of the iOS. Android counterparts remain an attractive option mainly because of their seamless integration with the Google ecosystem. Two of our favorite Android tablets on the market right now are the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and Galaxy Tab S5e, and they’re discounted on Best Buy for Cyber Week. Jump on these deals today to save on stellar-performing tablets. They also make great gifts for your techie loved ones this holiday season.

The Galaxy Tab S6 is featured on our website as one of the best tablets this year. It’s also our pick as the finest Android tablet, all thanks to its powerful specs and superb 2-in-1 capability. What’s even better is that it can function as a capable laptop replacement, especially if you don’t rely heavily on specific desktop applications to get work done. You’ll have to buy a keyboard cover to maximize its full potential, but you’ll also find lots of conveniences with the included Bluetooth S Pen. Its capabilities include pausing and skipping, taking notes, signing documents, and marking up papers.

When it comes to performance, this Samsung device is a real beast. At its core is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, a processor that powered most high-end Android phones this year. Even with several apps running and multiple browser tabs open, the Galaxy Tab S6 will not slow you down.

To match this incredibly smooth performance, Samsung gave it a stunning AMOLED display with a pixel resolution of 2,560 x 1,600. Everything looks crisp and is perfectly readable even under direct sunlight, enhanced with deep blacks and vibrant colors. Multimedia consumption is made even better with the dynamic quad-speaker setup that produces clear and dynamic sound.

Don’t pass up the chance to take home this champion of a tablet at a $100 discount this Cyber Week. Score the 128GB variant for $550 or the 256GB model for $630 on Best Buy.

Another outstanding Samsung tablet is the Galaxy Tab S5e. It received a near-perfect score of 9 out of 10 plus an Editor’s Choice seal from the Digital Trends review team, with commendations on its greatness for games and movies. This is mostly because of the delightful AMOLED screen that will make you gaze upon in wonder. With a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution, everything looks much more colorful and realistic that even videos you’re familiar with are taken into new life. It also won’t tire your eyes, perfect for long reading and gaming sessions. Four AKG-tuned speakers with support for Dolby Atmos are present as well, further enhancing the entertainment experience.

The Galaxy Tab S5e’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 670 is not as impressive as the one that powers the Tab S6, but it’s more than enough to drive the tablet for the tasks it’s intended for. Our review team has thoroughly tested it and concluded it offers a solid performance on movie watching, web surfing, gaming, and reading. And with a long-lasting battery to match, it’s always ready to travel.

Luxurious and capable, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e is a tablet that will appeal to Android loyalists. What makes it even more worth buying is its reasonable price, which is brought further down to $430. Order now on Best Buy while the deal is live.

Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.

Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.

Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind. 

The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year). 

Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.

The $999 model gets more than extra storage
