How can Samsung convince you to snub Apple's 2025-released iPad Air 11 (M3) and the newer and faster iPad Air 11 (M4) at their hefty new discounts to pick up the Galaxy Tab S10 FE instead? Not by permanently increasing the starting price of the 2025-released 10.9-inch Android slate from $499.99 to $549.99, that's for sure, and temporarily knocking that down to $469.99 is probably not doing the mid-ranger any big favors either.

But that's where Amazon comes in right now, selling the Tab S10 Fan Edition at a substantial $120 discount... over its original price. That's only true for a 256GB storage variant that used to cost $569.99 before going up to $669.99 on Samsung's official US website last month.

$120 off (21%)

Wi-Fi Only, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, 10.9-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2304 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Samsung Exynos 1580 Processor, Android 15 with One UI 7, Galaxy AI, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, 8,000mAh Battery, 45W Charging, 13MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, microSD Card Slot, Dual Speakers with AKG Technology, Silver and Gray Color Options, US Version, S Pen Included

While Amazon never enforced the same price hikes as Samsung (for the Tab S10 FE, Tab S10 FE Plus, Tab S11, Tab S11 Ultra, Galaxy Z Flip 7, etc., etc.), I must confess I did not expect to see this deal (especially so soon) offering you the opportunity to essentially buy a 256GB Galaxy Tab S10 FE for $220 (!!!) less than its new official list price.

At this huge discount, I can definitely see some bargain hunters opting for the S Pen-wielding mid-ranger with a 90Hz refresh rate-capable LCD screen in tow and 8GB RAM paired with the aforementioned 256 gigs of local digital hoarding room over a costlier iPad Air 11 (M4) without a stylus or 90Hz refresh rate support and an even more expensive iPad Air 11 (M3) with 1TB storage and 5G connectivity.

Naturally, you're looking at a Wi-Fi-only Galaxy Tab S10 Fan Edition configuration here, and obviously, this is not the absolute best Android tablet money can buy. But the Galaxy Tab S11 and Tab S11 Ultra are way pricier, so if you're on a tight budget this Mother's Day, you should at least consider taking advantage of Amazon's latest deal while it's still available.

Shipments before Mother's Day are guaranteed, by the way, at least if you hurry, but please note that only the gray and silver models are marked down by $120 from an old list price of $569.99, with the blue colorway setting you back an additional (and totally unwarranted) 60 bucks.
