As a tall person, long flights suck if I don’t have a good book or device to distract me. After a particularly uncomfortable overseas flight last fall, I decided to invest in two devices that have completely transformed my travel experience: a pair of noise cancelling headphones, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 Plus. The former blocks out any unwanted noise from fellow travelers, while the latter does literally everything else.
I bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11 Plus because it was affordable without skimping on essential features. I paid around $250 for it, but now that Amazon Prime Day is slashing a whopping 46% off the tablet, I kind of wish I waited.
If you’re a regular traveler and you need a device to help entertain you on those long flights or road trips, don’t make the same mistake that I did: grab the Galaxy Tab A11 Plus while it’s just $160. That’s the cheapest that the already-affordable Android tablet has ever been, no strings attached – just be sure to pick it up before Prime Day ends.
Currently selling for just over $160 during Prime Day, the Galaxy Tab A11 Plus comes with a lovely 11-inch 90Hz display that looks good in any light, a generous 7,040mAh battery that charges up quick, and a capable MediaTek MT8775 processor that handles most tasks with ease. You even get a few premium extras that you wouldn’t expect at this price point, such as a quad speaker system, expandable storage up to 1TB, and seven years of guaranteed software support.
To be sure, the Galaxy Tab A11 Plus isn’t powerful enough to be a laptop replacement, and you shouldn’t expect to do any serious gaming or heavy file management on this one. But if you value bang for the buck and you need a device for simple streaming, casual gaming, or surfing the web, then the Galaxy Tab A11 Plus is a truly remarkable device. At retail price, this tablet was a good value. At $160? It’s a verified steal.
