There is a thrill of anticipation and enthusiasm that takes over shoppers at particular times of year and anyone interested in bargains for electronics knows that one of the best times to shop doorbusters is Black Friday when retailers compete with each other and push deals to lure customers in store and online to shop for whatever it is they have to offer. And tablets are on the list of discounted items during Black Friday for many retailers selling electronics.

Retailers know tech sells like hot cakes and while not as popular as smartphones since this is technology that people usually change more often, tablets still remain among the most popular electronics shopped during the Black Friday sale. So expect to see good deals for tablets of various brands and features days, possibly even weeks ahead of this year’s sale event.
Now, retailers usually promote older stock tablets more aggressively this time of year and many tend to offer deeper discounts in this particular range but new models can feature discounts too, although less significant.
Regardless, you can start counting your savings if you’ve been putting away money for a new tablet and decide on a brand, on a model, on the features you want to purchase because this Black Friday is expected to arrive with tons of tablet promotions. Primarily, prices for tablets will vary according to model and amount of storage, so expect to pay higher prices for any newer models and for models with bigger storage capacities. Tablets with expandable storage rank among the best to purchase if this is a feature that interests you the most.
Brands to consider in regards to tablets promotions during 2016 Black Friday
- Samsung and Microsoft tablets were very popular in the past and retailers will probably drop prices again for these two manufacturers and others too. The Samsung Galaxy tablets will probably stand among most popular this year again as in previous years. The lowest price you can expect to pay for the cheapest model in this category is about $65. For the newer high-end Galaxy tablet you won’t be seeing prices drop lower than around $650. It is still a good discount taking into account the regular price which is $899.99.
- Amazon Fire tablets are again worth looking forward to in terms of best deals. The lowest price seen at Amazon in past years was $33.33 for the Amazon Fire 7” tablets and a further discount is anticipated for the sale in 2016. The HD models will probably feature special prices too, savings possibly amounting to more than $50 for any one Amazon Fire HD.
- And of course, we have the iPads that are probably the most expected. There have been various models discounted since 2015 Black Friday so retailers will most likely keep the pace going through this year’s sale for the iPad Air 2, sold at $350 last year. The iPad Mini 4 also sold well in the past and deeper discounts should be expected in 2016. Other models to monitor for Black Friday deals are iPad Pro 12.9” and the iPad Pro 9.7”.
