Looking for best Android tablet? Buy these Samsung tables with latest tech
Android tablets have been declining in popularity over the years and many companies have had to give it all up. But no one gave a command to Samsung: it releases new tablet options regularly every year with killer hardware, at the same time sending its Android into reputable software.
Whether you choose our top overall pick – the Galaxy Tab S8+ or any of the other options in this roundup, the best Samsung tablets have a lot to distinguish them from compared to other well-known brands.
Best Samsung Galaxy Tablets
Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra
When it comes to the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, you get what no other Android tablet can offer. At 14.6 inches, you get stunning display space with the same smooth refresh rate as a very small flagship phone. There’s a small scratch that you quickly get used to ignoring and with extra RAM, it’s fully set up for productivity in DeX mode or when adding multiple apps.
Galaxy Tab S8 Plus
The Galaxy Tab S8 Plus takes the winning formula from the Galaxy Tab S7+ and makes subtle improvements to maintain its position as the best Android tablet that money can buy. It has the same 12.4-inch AMOLED 120Hz display, lightweight design (for its size), quad Dolby Atmos speakers, and reliable battery life. To enhance it, it adds the same flagship processor as the Galaxy S22 series, a wider selfie camera, Wi-Fi 6e support, and an additional 2GB of RAM.
Galaxy Tab S8
The main advantage of the Galaxy Tab S8 series over its phones compared to Samsung’s usual strategy is that it does not reserve premium features for the more expensive models. The base Tab S8 features the same 120Hz refresh rate, quad speakers, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with 8GB RAM, a 12MP wide-angle selfie camera for video calling, and slim bezels like it’s more expensive siblings. All costs plus $200- $400 less than the Ultra.
Galaxy Tab S7 FE
The Samsung FE devices like the flagship-killing Galaxy S20 FE have the best of flagship phones at a discounted price. But it does not conform to the “Fan Edition” label of the Galaxy Tab S7 series. Instead, Samsung took the elements of the S7 and S7+ and incorporated them into one giant tablet, which was more affordable than both, but made some significant compromises to justify the price reduction.
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is older and smaller than the S7 FE, but the Tab S6 Lite has some strong features that are recognizable to students – and very affordable.
Regarding its performance, the S6 Lite features a 10.4-inch LCD panel with 2000×1200 resolution. No matter what app or game you are running, it looks awesome here and thanks to the included S Pen, you have the perfect canvas for taking notes or drawing in class in your spare time. For comparison, the cheaper Galaxy Tab A tablets usually do not come with the S Pen and are often reduced to HD resolution.
Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
Like Samsung smartphones, Galaxy S tablets usually crush their Galaxy A Tab counterparts. But if you are in the market for a cheap Android tablet that does not offer any compromises. It’s very affordable, has no amazing app library fire tablets, as well as Samsung tools and tricks that you know and love. And at 8 inches, weighing just 13oz/367g, it’s much easier to lie on the bed than the other options on this list.
The lineup of Samsung Android tablets is impressive because no one else supports the same form factor. Looking at its list of available options, we should give our top recommendation to the Galaxy Tab S8+.

Samsung One UI October 2023 Updates List
September 22:
- Samsung already rolled out the October 2023 patch to Galaxy S23 w/ the fourth One UI 6 Beta.
Samsung takes Galaxy’s software support quite seriously. The company is continuously enhancing its software department and cementing its lead in after-sales support. Android 14-based One UI 6 is coming later this year as the last major update for several Samsung devices.
As Android 14 is yet to officially land on Samsung devices, we’ve compiled a list of handsets, which will have to spend their remaining time on the One UI 6. As the company’s software policy is pretty clear, there’s no confusion on models’ eligibility for updates.

Galaxy S21 was eligible for major updates up to Android 14, while Samsung promised additional OS support. This means, the upcoming Android 14 will not be the last OS upgrade for the lineup, and the same applies to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3.
The S21 FE launched with Android 12 out of the box, while 2022’s revised policy makes it eligible for updates up to Android 16. All flagships launched after the S21 line are eligible for 4 OS, while several Galaxy A, M, and F series phones will have to stick with Android 14.
Galaxy A series phones that are eligible for 3 OS will end up getting major upgrades post-Android 14 release. Meanwhile, several mid-range and budget phones from Galaxy M and Galaxy F lineups are supported by just two major upgrades.
Android 14-based One UI 6 will be the last major update for these Samsung devices:
- Galaxy A72
- Galaxy A52 (A52 5G, A52s)
- Galaxy A23
- Galaxy A13
- Galaxy M53 5G
- Galaxy M33 5G
- Galaxy M23
- Galaxy M13
- Galaxy F23
- Galaxy F13
One UI 6 will radically turn your Samsung Galaxy phone’s user interface. The new software’s Beta testing was started in August, with Stable rollout expected this month. There are a lot of eligible Samsung Galaxy devices, so let’s see an expected official release of the One UI 6 update.
Samsung is actively running the One UI 6 Beta Program for Galaxy devices. Earlier, the company announced the Beta activity for the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy S21 series. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S23 series has received a total of 5 major One UI 6 Beta, signaling the official release is near.

This year’s Samsung Developers Conference taking place in the first week of October. For reference, the SDC22 was held in the last week of October 2022, with the rollout started in November. Thanks to Samsung’s early SDC23 event, flagship Galaxy devices may get the Stable update earlier than last year.
Galaxy devices that are in Beta stage are most likely to get upgraded to Stable One UI 6, based on Android 14, by October 2023. This includes the popular foldables, flagship tablet lineups, Galaxy S23/S22/S21 series and the best mid-rangers i.e. Galaxy A54/A34.
