Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+
Why we picked this
Best Value: The cheapest option and a sensible choice for web browsing, video, messaging apps, and everyday Android use. Its large 90Hz display and microSD support are useful, though performance and storage are more limited than the other two tablets. Wi-Fi calling or messaging apps are required for calls and texts because this is the Wi-Fi model.
