We're in the thick of the holiday deals season, with retailers slashing prices on old tech to make room for new tech next year.

Through Samsung directly, you can grab $200 off the Galaxy Tab S9, $100 off the Galaxy Tab S9 Plus, or $300 off the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. If you're looking for a last-minute tech gift for someone special or want to treat yourself, one of these highly rated tablets is a great option.

Have an old tablet to trade in? The deal gets even sweeter. When you trade in a valid device, you can save up to $500 in instant trade-in credit. If you have a Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to trade in, for example, you can get the $200 discount and $500 in trade-in credit, slashing the Galaxy Tab S9 to a mere $99.

For your convenience, here are Samsung's current trade-in values for a few other popular devices:

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus: $450 in trade-in credit
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus: $400 in trade-in credit
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S8: $400 in trade-in credit

  • Apple iPhone 15 Pro: $448 in trade-in credit
  • Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max: $445 in trade-in credit
  • Google Pixel 8 Pro: $264 in trade-in credit

If you don't have a tablet to trade in, the default discounts Samsung's offering on its Galaxy S9 Series tablets are still great. That said, definitely check out the best tablet deals we've rounded up for December to compare all your options.
