Samsung has started slashing its Galaxy Tab A8 prices on Amazon with a digital samurai sword. You can save $97 right now on the 128GB Silver model, down to just $233 in the US. 

While there are some great discounts to be had right now, these aren't the lowest prices we've seen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8. The 128GB model was selling for $199.99 on Amazon last month.  So, if you want to wait for the record low on this tablet, it might be wise to wait in anticipation for Black Friday on 24 November.

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. It's worth the upgrade though, with enhanced visuals, speed, and audio.

Price history: The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2022) first retailed at around $279.99/£229 for the entry-level model, and we then saw this fall to $189/££189 by April. These new prices are lower than retail but could drop even further with seasonal sales and newer releases. 

Current price: Samsung: $269.99 | Best Buy: $269.99
