Amazon Prime Day is here, but many of the best deals expire in just a few hours. Despite its name, today is the second day of Prime Day, with new offers being added all of the time.
Tablets are one of the most frequently discounted products, but the sheer number can be overwhelming. But after extensive research, we’ve narrowed the list down to a handful of the best.
Many of these are exclusive to Amazon Prime members so if you don’t have a subscription then you’ll need to get one. It costs $14.99/£7.99 per month or $139/£79 per year, but you can get a 30-day free trial if you haven’t signed up before.
Such is the intense competition of online retail, many of Amazon’s rivals will also be holding sales in an attempt to win your custom. If we see particularly good deals elsewhere then they will be included here too. We’re also rounding up the best Amazon Prime Day deals overall so you don’t miss the biggest bargains.
For full coverage of everything Prime Day related, check out our Prime Day hub. We’re also looking at the best tablets on the market in our Best Tablets chart along with the best tablet deals from all retailers this month.
