🔄 Last updated: 26 August 2026 — prices checked on our Skontissimo comparison tool across Amazon, MediaWorld, Unieuro, Euronics, Comet, Yeppon and other Italian shops.
The 2026 tablet market has become polarised: on one side the iPads, which dominate the high end, on the other an Android offering that is increasingly aggressive on price, with Samsung covering every segment and Xiaomi playing the spoiler. Price differences between shops are huge: for the same iPad you can end up paying almost 190 euros more by picking the wrong shop.
In this guide you will find the real prices recorded on 26 August 2026 by our multi-shop monitoring, along with all-time lows. And today there is a genuine bargain: the Galaxy Tab A11+ is at its lowest price ever.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A11+ — today's bargain ⭐
Let's start with the deal: the Tab A11+ (released in November 2025) is today at its all-time low: 129 € at Comet and MediaWorld — on Amazon it costs 235 €, almost double. For that money you get a 90 Hz display, up to 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, four Dolby speakers and Gemini Live integration. User rating 4.7.
Prices recorded: Comet / MediaWorld 129 € ⭐ all-time low · eBay 199.80 € · Amazon 235.57 €
