If you're looking for a creative tablet to gift a loved one this Christmas (or for yourself) then we've got a great deal for you. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 is now just $149.99 at Amazon for the 32GB model. That's an $80 saving on the usual $229 retail price for the tab. 

We think the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 is a great choice for creatives, although the 32GB model has only 3G of RAM – which isn't that reliable for running multiple tasks or apps. You can upgrade to the 64GB model (with 4GB of RAM) for an extra $30, reduced to $179 down from $279 at Walmart.

Overview: This tablet is considered mid-range and within budget for a lot of people, including students. But even with these latest price cuts it's nowhere near as budget-friendly as its little brother, the Galaxy Tab A7 Lite. Multitasking on this tab is great, it has a nice full HD display, and Samsung Dex is amazing for use as a workstation.

Release date: January 17, 2022. 

Price history: The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2022) first retailed at around $279.99/£229 for the entry-level 32GB model, and we then saw this fall to $189/£189 by April. These sale prices are lower than retail but won't last forever. 

Price check: Walmart: $149.99 | Best Buy: $149.99

Review consensus: We haven't officially tested or reviewed this tablet yet, but our sister site TechRadar got its hands on one and was pleasantly surprised, offering a 4-star verdict. The team praised the premium feel of the tablet and how it delivers on being affordable without compromising on a crisp display with vibrant colours.
