Samsung Galaxy Tab Deals & Offers

That's a bit naughty of them. But well done for those that got the good price. It'll be £159 elsewhere. I see to think I saw somewhere that Very may have it at 159 with 20% cashback, but not sure if I've misread, or there are terms behind that

It's jumped up in price again (annoyed)

Just to add, they are starting to roll out Oreo for these tablets, some countries already having the firmware upgrade, should be with the UK shortly. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-a-101-2016/SM-T580/

Hopefully JL will price match (y)

Actually this is not the 2016 version, I have that one for £155 at the end of 2016, that one had 16GB internal memory. They did a late term revision a year later to 32GB internal memory which this one has. Unlike the S range which have copied Apple with 4:3 displays, this one remains 16:10...better for multimedia but not so easy to hold due to the 'squarer' nature that 4:3 tablets give. Great tablet, well built with a very good contrast display and superb battery life. Downsides are the stereo speaker placement both on the one edge of the unit, and also the ease of accidental soft key touches. I disabled mine with an app and use another app to display soft keys on screen...also depending on your usage you will either like or hate the screen ratio. Solid mid range tablet, now superseded by the Galaxy Tab 10.5" 2018 which has a higher premium RRP for a mid range tablet.

And I'm led to believe Nougat was made available last year for the 2016 Tab A 10.1 - but like I say, matters not in my scenario. If it updates, great, I'll do it before setting anything else up

Absolutely, but then he's a young lad who wants to play a few games and watch some NetFlix, so each to their own. It won't hurt his experience :)

On Amazon you will get tablet with android 6.0. In Currys or Argos you will get android 7.0. Of course if you don’t bother about android version you can buy on amazon. But most that tablets with android 6.0 version are 2016 year models.

Having the headphones is nice, but you're looking at up to 45 days before they may even be received, so there is no guarantee for xmas. You'd hope they come well before then, but it says 30 days from claim acceptance (+ 15 you can't claim until), so there's even a window in there to extend that potential 45 day window. I'm keeping an eye on this deal in general as I want one for my Son, so going to wait until tomorrow to see if any of the bigger providers goes lower than Amazon Currently £158 (Amazon) plus whatever the headphones cost. 20/30 or so. Cheaper than the £199 + claim you see on AO/John Lewis/Currys

I just bought tablet yesterday in Argos and I will claim headphones. Ready Christmas present for my daughter

Nice one!

This happens (not everyday!) a lot when there is a 10% / 15% off discount, even more so, when the item is brand new, if it was an ebay scalper or a very shrewd buyer at a company.. they have saved themselves a cool £1075+ on the price of something they were likely to buy anyway, but for more.. you have just got to love the power of HUKD!!! (y)

I had a phone with 16GB and a SD card slot, but found that many of the apps couldn't be moved to SD card so my 16GB was full very quickly. I know there are workarounds via rooting the device, but I don't want to go through the hassle.

The SD slot overs most situations. Especially if you buy an ultrafast one.

I saw these before and nearly pulled the trigger, but they only have 16GB of storage which is too little in this day and age.

Expired back to £199

I didn't say you wouldn't get it for the deal price, just that it wasn't certain. Looks like you may have been lucky (good on ya).

Yes as said it was a voucher i had on my AO account to use and ive had all my money back now for price match and 10% off and the 25 cash back has been sent already so well happy...just the Quidco bonus to wait for now...

Have no idea! I decided to take that part of what Fanimal said at face value and was perhaps a personalized offer....

How do you get the 10% voucher?

Its £400 for OLED, but yes, I think Samsung should allow CPU customisation. Tablets dont really need lower power cips, Intel excepted.

The S3 is a really poor purchase, it doesn’t offer a lot over the much cheaper S2. Samsung seem to forget that Android isn’t amazing on a tablet but think they can still charge the same as Apple or for full Windows tablets. They also keep fitting last gen SoCs for a slap in the face. No reason the S3 didn’t have an 835 and no reason the recently launched S4 didn’t have an 845.

I'd heard that too. The new built in windscreen wiper may come in handy though. (poo)

No, stool sample I heard

I hear that the S5 will require a blood sample to login.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! LOL

i picked up for 350 that my point ipad pro 10.5 64gb

This isn't twice as good as the S2 even though its twice the price.

Lots of us are fools. We stand for days in the rain every year queuing for phones that don't even have FHD screens or a headphone jack. Luckily our wool keeps us warm in the queue.

Well said mate from Tab S1 to Tab S4

Thanks I’ll get it expired.

Expired now £199

Ordered tnx :)

Yes and it’s back in stock now.

I have updated the link, and included it below. Although it is now showing £8 more, at £190 for the SM-T585, LTE (Sim) model. https://www.smartteck.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-tab-a-2016-sm-t585n-32gb-3g-4g-black-tablet.html Alternatively, Amazon Germany has it for £193 delivered. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0788B7VYC

Same price in John Lewis with 3 year guarantee or in Argos with £10 voucher.

Mc Afee is only some of the bloat that Samsung pre-installs on their tablets Samsung gets paid to have this bloat on

how is this still over £200, i got one over a year ago from amazonwarehouse for under £100 when they had the 30% off open boxes offer. as for McAfee, i've never heard anything good about it in 31 years On August 19, 2010, Intel announced that it would purchase McAfee for $48 a share in a deal valued at $7.68 billion. On January 6, 2014, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced during the Consumer Electronics Show the name change from McAfee Security to Intel Security. The company's red shield logo would remain, with the firm continuing to operate as a wholly owned Intel subsidiary. John McAfee, who no longer has any involvement in the company, expressed his pleasure at his name no longer being associated with the software. "I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet. These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users. However, as of 2016 the products still bore the McAfee name.

I've had this tablet for over 12mths now lovely piece of kit bought it as a refurb in excellent condition..... As for McAfee no thanks

No thanks on pc either

Can anyone tell me if the multi user support is enabled by default on Samsung tabs (Tab A or Tab S2 / S3)?... or does it need to be rooted to enable multi user? I know starting Android 5.0, the multi user support is available but some manufacturers do not enable it for some reason....

Sansung dont allow adaoptable storage so cant use it as internal memory which limits the amount of apps like netflix / disney life where you can download for watching offline etc as this is limited to internal. .

Got my tablets delivered today. 2017 model marked on box. 32gb too instead of 16gb in the old 2016 models. Pleased with my purchases (cheeky)

Think you weakened your argument tbh. Purchaser confirms the tablet itself claims to be 2016 yet you believe some Argos rep knows better!?? If major retailers switched from selling the 16GB model to 32GB in 2017 that explains the retailer labelling but it doesn't make it a "2017 model". That's defined by what Samsung say on their website and more importantly on the device itself and when of course it was released.

Spanish language on Samsung website confirms model year: samsung.com/es/tablets/galaxy-tab-a-10-1-2026-t580/SM-T580NZKEPHE/ Updated product = new model number; otherwise stock control is impossible. You'll note this with all electronics, eg. different revisions of Xbox, PS4, iPads etc. due to manufacturing revisions over their product life, even if no functional difference (they don't annnounce these). Will apologise though for arguing over such a trivial point...like it really matters!?? Ha, ha.

OOS

Bargain

Out of stock

It is running an os from 2013. Experience, security and performance will all be dreadful.

for kids

The worst 60 quid you'll ever spend.

2015 tablet

Only trying to help - ebay is better? If you could be bothered to look at the other sellers on Amazon it can be bought for £158.99 delivered from a seller with 100% feedback if it bothers you that much

Same model but the Amazon seller is Seagull UK - only 88% Positive feedback in last 12 months. I don't think the forum team would allow it to be posted as a deal.

Cheaper on Amazon? I think it is the same model tablet

The M5 is great but your talking a lot more £. Consider the M3 as the specs are nearly identical to the M5's and you get a headphone Jack. If you know where to look, an M3 can be picked up for a touch over Tab A money but much less than the double or triple Tab A money of the M5.

What would be better option. Was thinking the huawei m5, bit more money but spec looks nice.

This tablet still gets its arse kicked by a Nexus 7 2013. No way worth the £.

I rooted my Samsung s4 as the 16gb storage was not enough. I used folder mount and mounted all my software folders to the sd card

If you do get your device rooted, you may well find the package removal/disabler tools have more success as well.

did anyone here get the samsung tab s4?

I've owned iPads and android tablets and I prefer the customisation on offer on android tablets. The number of apps specifically made for android tablets are fewer but the games work fine, Google apps work better and you get a bit more bang for your buck. For the s4 you get a pen included and the free keyboard offer is a significant saving compared to the ipad pro which is what this tablet is competing with.

Is this offer still valid its not listen on the Samsung S4 website

@ChocolateEclair I don't see quite how this works. To quailify for the £100 off, do you have to enter into a credit agreement? Then they put £100 in it? They you pay it all off before they charge you interest? But you can still apply for a 'free keyboard etc in advance' from Samsung?

It's brilliant for drawing. Reviews say the Tab S4 is slightly better for drawing but this is coming from professional artists. You won't get anything better for £269.
