Best October Prime Day tablet deals: Recap
After the grand finale of October Prime Day, one might think that all the unmissable tablet deals we saw during the event are a thing of the past. Well, yes and no. While we undoubtedly have to wait a year to get another October Prime Day sale, the upcoming Black Friday will bring hefty bargains on the hottest tablets.
Anyone who hasn't bought a new slate during the 48-hour shopping spree this month will get a chance to do so in November. While we wait for the best tablet deals for 2024 to go live, let's take a moment to talk about the highlights of Prime Big Deal Days.
We saw a generous $130 discount on the 10.2-inch iPad (2021), as well as a $150 price cut on the Galaxy Tab S9 FE+. Both of these offers were only available for Prime members.

October Prime Day iPad deals
Aside from the 2021 "regular" iPad selling for just under $200, October Prime Day gave iOS users a $104 discount on the 13-inch iPad Pro M4 (2024). Those who didn't want so much screen real estate could snag the iPad mini 6 for $149 less than usual. Indeed, October 8–9 gave us really awesome discounts on the best iPad models out there.
October Prime Day Galaxy Tab deals
Some of the best Samsung tablets got huge price cuts this month. But it wasn't just the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup that was significantly more affordable. In fact, Amazon launched crazy-good deals on some budget tablets from the brand.
For instance, the Galaxy Tab A9+ with 128GB of storage was 31% off, while the latest Galaxy Tab S6 Lite model, released in 2024, dropped by $100. Then again, it was the Galaxy Tab S9 and its siblings that got the highest price cuts. Prime members could save $250 on the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus or buy the Galaxy Tab S9 FE for about $400 instead of $520.

Budget Lenovo tablets were, of course, part of the fun as well. A few weeks ago, users could get the Lenovo Tab P12 with a 12.7-inch display and Lenovo Tab Pen Plus support (stylus included in the box) at $36 off. The ultra-cheap Lenovo Tab M9 (2023) was also on sale, offered for 33% off its usual price and landing it under the $100 mark. Hopefully, we'll see more juicy price cuts on Lenovo products next month.
October Prime Day deals on other tablets
Prime Day discounts may (almost always) be exclusive for Prime members, but, fortunately, that doesn't apply to discounts on not-so-popular tablet brands. In other words, you can score a bargain on a new tablet during October Prime Day even if you're not shopping for a new Galaxy Tab or an iPad.
This month, Amazon launched a Google Pixel Tablet deal, selling the model without a charging speaker dock for $101 less. In other news, we saw a generous $130 discount on the OnePlus Pad. Quite amazingly, there was even a Microsoft Surface Pro 11th Gen deal to consider. The latest Windows tablet with 16GB RAM and 256GB storage was $210 cheaper during the 48-hour shopping event.
When was October Prime Day 2024?
October Prime Day 2024, known as Prime Big Deal Days, started on October 8 and ended on October 10, giving bargain hunters 48 hours of unmissable Prime Day deals.
Where can I find the best deals for Prime Day 2024?
Amazon. Still, while many of the best Prime Day deals are usually available at the e-commerce giant, we suggest keeping an eye on its rival stores as well. Over the past two years or so, Best Buy and Walmart have launched incredible discounts to draw shoppers' attention simultaneously with Amazon's Prime Day event.
How long does Prime Day 2024 last?
48 hours. Unlike Black Friday, which spread across two weeks last year, Prime Day tends to last only two days. That's to say, you don't have much time to take advantage of the exceptional deals. With that in mind, as might be expected, Prime Day deals often require membership, so you might want to consider getting one.
