Do galaxy tabs go on sale?

Hi everyone,
I've already asked a similar question concerning the Asus transformer tablet and now I'm wondering if the same applies to the galaxy tab. Basically, what are the chances of a decent discount price in the next few weeks before I return home to NZ? I'm located in Manhattan at the moment.

The best I could find after looking since black Friday was 50.00 off so when best buy had it on sale yesterday I finally picked one up!
Best of luck finding a lower price. If you do make sure to post it up.

In Canada, Either Best Buy or Futureshop had $100 off the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as well as many other tablets.
I guess nobody has purchased the $32Gb version? Am I the only one?

100$ for 16gigs of space? Rip off. They purposefully left the sdcard slot out to lure us into this cash cow just like apple. Samsung should know better. My phone has more gigs...and a faster, better processor at that! The tab still is the best honeycomb out there tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Consider it a "ripoff" if you want. For my thinking the only way to get the space is to buy it with the tablet. I'd rather spend $100 now than run short of space later.
Ha! Endoran, everywhere I see you posting, you sound like a toolbag. Are you a teenager?
My phone has 40GB of space. But, it doesn't have a Tegra2, and I doubt yours does as well.
However, the GTab 10.1 rocks, with Task's ROM. Who cares how much storage is local? Storage comes and goes. I have servers with 32GB of RAM and terabytes of disk. Yet 16GB onboard is more than sufficient for my tablet.

bought my 32gb from best buy cuz it was an open box (a return) for $525 couple days before christmas.
They have them at walmart for 400 witch is less than I paid

Galaxy tab free with galaxy s3

I was one of the 1000 lucky preorders that will receive a free galaxy tab wifi only 16GB.
The question is, do I keep it or sell it and buy something cheaper.
I love Samsung but its quite expensive.
I have a galaxy s2 at the moment

Is it a galaxy tab or galaxy tab 10.1? If it is the 10.1, you're crazy lucky and that's a promotion I'm sorry I missed. If it's just the "galaxy tab" (and I suspect it is) it's worth about $100 on craigslist. Keep it if you want an e-reader, or sell it and buy a real tablet.
***edit: I just looked up the S3 (not the promotion, I don't see any sign of that existing). If you can afford $900 for a phone pre-order, why are you even worried about it?
Well, not harm doing either way, you can keep it as a spare, or a "toy"
I have 2 galaxy tab 7, still playing with it
Its the 10.1, and I love the phone but it was a big decision upgrading. It was carphone warehouse UK that did the offer btw.
well, then i suggest u keep it, u might not know if it will come in handy someday later
how...
how did you know you are going to recive the tab did u get a email or something as i also preorded it when the offer was still showing about 4 hours after launch and i have not had a notification about it ..

And its expensive because I could sell it for £300+ and get a cheaper 10 inch tablet.

It is definite a nice promotion that they are giving you a tablet. Good luck and have some fun with it
posting now from my free 10.1 tab...... And its brilliant
cool~~too bad there isn't such sweet deals at where I am...
very nice. And you can't argue with "free" though I would probably sell it and get an asus transformer TF300 for a bit more.

Did you end up getting a 16 GB? I was also one of the first 1000 but I received a 32 GB White model (and oddly I also received a 32 GB Micro SD which was supposed to be for the people who pre-ordered after the first 1000), both were completely unexpected as I thought I was getting 16 GB and had no clue about the MicroSD... Absolutely loving the Tab so far and my S3 is none too shabby either
I receive one as well, and love it! I wish ICS was out because I like chrome a lot.
By the way, Why would we sell this to get the Asus? Care to inform about the advantages?
Thanks

For those of you with an SG3 and a Tab 10.1, have you been able to use the Wifi Direct features?
I notice on my Tab 10.1, it does mention Wifi direct, but since I've never had any use for it or heard of it until the SG3, I'm wondering if it works between the two.
I pre ordered my SG3 here in the US, but still hasn't shipped.
Yes. Wifi direct is really good between the two. It's miles faster than Bluetooth. Well with using for anything bigger than a photo. Once connected it's so fast to send multiple files.

Best Buy Black Friday 16GB TF300 for $279.00

So looks like Best Buy will be selling a new 16GB TF300 on Black Friday for $279.00. The dock is an additional $99.00
What's new about this TF300 is that it will be black, a color that Best Buy is touting as an exclusive.
You can see it here (jump to page 15):
http://blackfriday.com/stores/best-buy/flyers/black-friday
And they will probably only have a hand full available to the few lucky people that get there first.I'm glad I have a buddy that works there
Look around for a pristine TF201 and you'll have a far better deal than the plastic body, crappy screened TF300
That to me sounds like a fair deal but not a complete door-buster.

Yep, that's the one I ended up with. Took the 16gb back to Best Buy the next day and got the one from Office depot. 16 more gb's for $20 was a great deal. I'll be checking with Office depot from now on.
Got mine 32gig for $269. I got the manager to match the price of Groupon. They didn't know what is the difference between the 16 gig and 32 gig

That is similar to what happened to me. I got mine from Staples and had the clerk price match to the best buy deal. It wasn't until I got home that I realized the clerk had given me the 32gb model which my local Staples was selling for $399.99. Regardless of the price, I am very happy with my purchase. This is a great tablet and I am excited to get back into the android dev world!
WM had them for 319 for two days. That's where I got mine.
Nice to see that quite a few people have purchased the tf300t.

I got a similar deal off amazon. It was a 32mb for $319. The office depo deal would have been around that once you add tax. I am VERRY happy with this tablet!
In case anyone was wondering Bestbuy.com was selling the black tf300t for $279 all weekend with free shipping and they never sold out. Amazing deal! I purchased mine on monday.
I just got my $300 refurbished TF300 16GB and keyboard dock bundle from woot.com I ordered just before Black Friday.
Hate to say it, but I'm kinda regretting the purchase. Unfortunately after using higher DPI 7 inch tablets and an iPad 3, I am struggling with the fonts on the TF300. It's not just web browsing, but fonts almost everywhere look terrible. Twitter is making my eyes bleed.
And the tablet is surprisingly slower than I expected. I set it to performance mode, but couldn't see a difference.

Now that's strange because mine are great. I'm also running a custom ROM with an overclocked kernel and my tablet is fast as can be. I'm getting some great benchmark scores too.

DPI on the Kindle Fire isn't that good either. You mean the Fire HD? I have the Fire HD and to the screen is a helluva lot better on that the TF300.

Possible new devices in 2014 - Note 8.4" Pro

If this is true, I will hold on for LG G PAD 8.3
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/12/20...te-pro-12-2-and-galaxy-tab-3-lite-in-q1-2014/
Wondering what those four new Samsung tablets that we’ve been talking about a lot lately are? Well, thanks to our insider, we now have the name and screen size for each of those tablets – there’s the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (SM-T320/T325), Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520/T525), Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P900/P905), and the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110/T111). All of these will come in Wi-Fi and LTE models (with the exception of the Tab 3 Lite, which will only have 3G connectivity as befits its low price of around 100 Euros.)
The Galaxy Tab 3 Lite will be the first to launch sometime in week two in Cream White color with a 7-inch screen; it will be followed by the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 sometime in week six, while the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 will arrive just a week later. All three Pro tablets will be available in black and white colors; the Tab Pro 8.4 and 10.1 will come with 16GB of storage while the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 will have 32GB storage out of the box.
As always, the launch time frames may vary a bit, though all four will be out before March is over. We already have some details on the specs of the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite and the Galaxy Note 12.2 Pro, and we’ll be keeping an eye out for info that might crop up about the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and 10.1.
Update: Here’s a live picture of the back of the Note Pro, courtesy of cdpkorea.com

I think that every tablet Samsung has made came in a variant with phone calling capability. The US carriers just won't allow them to bring it here. So my guess is that won't change (on either front) with the new tablets. But, speaking as someone who uses an N5100 as my primary phone, I think an 8.4 tablet would exceed the limits of portability as a daily driver.

That crap needs to stop. Its days away from 2014, 32GB should be the entry level storage option now.
agreed. I just cannot for the life of me understand why they won't just give us that little bit extra storage it would make all the difference. Not like it would cost them that much more.
I haven't seen a mention of note 8.4 pro anywhere, where are you getting you facts from?
there's the "Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4" (which ain't the note line)
and
Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (which definitely ain't 8.4 incher )

I was going to ask the exact same thing, luckily I read all the replies first
i hope they upgrade the int sd to 32gb like in note 3. but.... 8.4 inch... kind of big... it wont be comfortable to hold anymore... unless you got a gigantic hand...
Unless they keep the device the same size like they've been doing with their phones. I guess we'll see soon enough. I'm guessing we won't see a new Note until the summer

The note 8 was supposed to have a 32gb version too but it never came out. Also with 5 game on my note 8 and a few other small apps I have no more room. Yes I have a 64gb card in it. Problem is the app to sd only puts a very small amount of the app on the sd card. So it doesn't clear much in the internal space.
The 16 gig 8.4 is available today at bestbuy. $399
Stunned at the price in the UK for the wifi only version of the 8.4. £349. SERIOUSLY?
$399 would equate to around £250 in the UK and if the US was paying what £349 is, it would be more like $570 for you guys.
I'm a major Samsung supporter and major Samsung fan. I've had a couple of Samsung Tabs in the past, and at present have the Galaxy Tab 7.7. This has a Super AMOLED plus screen which has been exceptional and unsurpassed on a sub 9" device since it was released. (OK so only just beaten by the recent Nexus 7 v2.0).
So my Tab 7.7 has held up very well. And while I paid £349 for it back when I got it 2 years ago, I am seriously disappointed to see the new Tab Pro 8.4 come in @ £349. There's a lot more competition out there now and it should have been priced as such. I would maybe have stretched too £299 for it as a fanboi, and had hoped for it might be as low as £249. (i.e. US Price)
But seriously Samsung? £349 in the UK?
Sorry Samsung, but you just lost a sale. Don't expect stellar sales at that price.
Meantime I'l keep my 7.7.

Is that inclusive of the VAT? That 20% VAT is crazy.
Think the idea is to compete with the iPad mini 2. If the prices arent similar at launch, they'll probably come down soon to the ipad levels.
The people in the US get some nice freebies too. Hulu subscription, $25 playstore credit and a few other things.
At least you have the wifi option. In India, they try and push the wifi+3g model that bumps the price up another $100 or so.
I have a nexus 7 2013 16 GB model and all I do is download movies which I delete after watching it serves me well but if I do get the galaxy pro 8.4 they would need to release the lte model I will get a 64 GB sdcard problem solved

The 7.7 is a great tablet, in some ways (display, metal build) superior to the Note 8. And the folks that have them tend to keep them, thus the high prices for used ones. I'd still have mine if I hadn't broke it. Samsung got it wrong, the Note 8 should have been a Galaxy Tab 7.7 with a stylus.
