Best Prime Day Android tablet deals

Amazon Fire HD 10
Amazon Fire HD 10: was $139 now $69 at Amazon

This is the sweet spot of Amazon Fire tablets, giving you a 10.1-inch screen driven by an octa-core CPU with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage space. It does come with lock-screen ads, but you can pay a small fee to remove them if you don't like them. In my experience, though, these ads are hardly a bother.

Amazon Fire Max 11
Amazon Fire Max 11: was $229 now $139 at Amazon

The Fire Max 11 is the best Amazon Fire tablet you can buy, and right now it's just shy of being $100 off. It sports a bright 11-inch 2K screen, a 2.2GHz octa-core Mediatek MT8188J CPU, 4GB RAM, and 64GB of storage. In our Fire Max 11 review, I called it Amazon's best Fire tablet yet, and now's a great time to get one at a good discount.

Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition Essentials Bundle
Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition Essentials Bundle: was $362 now $211 at Amazon

Alright, more of an e-reader, but still a fantastic tablet-like device for those who love a good book. The all-new Kindle Colorsoft is available in a bundle that includes the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition (32GB), a plant-based leather cover and a wireless charging dock. By bundling these items together, you'll save 42%.

Samsung  Galaxy Tab S10 FE
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE: was $499 now $449 at Amazon

It's only recently released, but the fantastic Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE is already $50 off! Not a bad price for a mid-range tablet that comes with an S Pen stylus, a splendid (and larger) 13.1-inch LCD panel and 15-hour battery life. This is great value for money! 

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra: was $1,199 now $979 at Amazon

This massive slate is one of the best tablets you can get if you're a fan of large screens, and it won't disappoint now that's under $1,000. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is a beefy Android tablet that sports a ginormous 14.6-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display. With 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ under the hood, it's a capable machine, and it offers the largest screen you can get on a premium tablet.
