Never one to be outdone by third-party retailers like Best Buy and Amazon, Samsung appears to have kicked off a number of early Black Friday 2025 deals on its official US website as well. These may not be advertised as such, but I highly doubt that the Galaxy Z Fold 7, for instance, will receive a heftier discount than $600 anytime soon, and the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is also unlikely to get much cheaper than today this holiday season.
Normally priced at $1,199.99 and up, the two-month-old 14.6-inch giant is obviously not affordable by any standards after a $200 markdown. But it’s more affordable than it’s ever been (without an obligatory device trade-in), and if you feel like you absolutely have to own the best Android tablet with the most gigantic screen this Christmas, you should probably pull the trigger without hesitation right now.

That $200 discount with no strings attached applies across the board, mind you, so an entry-level variant with 256 gigs of internal storage space can be yours for $999.99 instead of the aforementioned regular starting price of the Tab S11 Ultra, while 512GB and 1TB configurations will set you back $1,119.99 and $1,419.99 respectively.
Furthermore, you can choose between (fairly unexciting) gray and silver colorways for all three variants, and of course, you’ll get a handy S Pen included at no extra cost. Granted, as our comprehensive Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra review highlights, said stylus is not as convenient and as versatile as it used to be, and the gargantuan slate actually comes with a few more disadvantages compared to last year’s Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, which is obviously (a little) cheaper at the time of this writing.

But it also goes without saying that the Tab S11 Ultra packs a newer and faster processor than its predecessor, not to mention that it’s guaranteed to receive one more major software update thanks to its younger age.
Perhaps more importantly, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra can largely hold its own against Apple’s 13-inch iPad Pro (M5) and Microsoft’s Surface Pro (2024), at least in terms of bang for your buck… at these newly reduced prices. Yes, the iPad Pro is more powerful, and the Surface Pro more productive, but somehow, Samsung’s ultra-high-end colossus feels like the more well-balanced mobile computing machine.
