If you have been shopping for a 3D TV and an Android tablet this is the weekend for you to finally pull the trigger. Samsung and Best Buy are teaming up to give away a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the purchase of certain 3D TV. The deal is only for two different TVs, one a 46” LED, and another is for a mystery 55” TV with 3D starter kit. The cheapest package will cost you $1499.99.

Unfortunately Best Buy does not tell us which two models of TVs are part of the promotion, so we can’t give too much information about the selected models. Having searched the Best Buy website we found a pretty wide range of prices for TVs that matched the vague descriptions provided so we are not able to say for sure which TVs are part of the deal.

We do know about the Samsung tablet involved, and it is one of the most sought after Android tablet on the market. In our review we really enjoyed the tablet, and think it is the Android tablet best suited to rival the iPad 2.

This promotion makes sense considering that the general population still isn’t on board with 3D technology. They cost more than 2D TVs, and require you to buy special hardware to view 3D content. Only time will tell if TV makers will keep trying to sell these TVs or if they will take a break and wait until a glasses free option is available in large screen sizes.

Something to keep in mind if you are TV shopping, all 3D TVs work perfectly fine in 2D mode, so if you are shopping for a TV you can always buy one of the two from the promotion just to get a free tablet.

Usually $600, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is $130 off at Best Buy

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE is currently on sale from Best Buy, with the model offering 128GB of storage and 6GB of RAM available for just $470 following the retailer's $130 discount on its sticker price of $600. This is one of the most attractive tablet deals in the market right now, but time is running out if you want to take advantage of it. The device's price goes back to normal at the end of the day, so you shouldn't waste time if you want to purchase it.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, is a new version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus as it's equipped with the same 12.4-inch touchscreen with 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, instead of the 11-inch touchscreen of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, however, has a TFT screen, and not the Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate that's found in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Tab S7. That's an acceptable trade-off for the tablet's lower price though, especially if you'll only be using the device for watching streaming content, playing games, and browsing the internet.

Here’s our very first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus

Galaxy Tab S9+ leaked images

Samsung’s existing slate of Android tablets is one of the finest hardware of its kind, and it appears that the company doesn’t want to stray from the winning formula any time soon. Leaker @OnLeaks has shared renders of the Galaxy S9 Plus, and they bear a striking similarity to its Galaxy Tab S8 series predecessor.

The sleek metallic build with sharp edges is here to stay, and so is the contrasting magnetic strip at the back. The bezel size also remains familiar, while the horizontally positioned selfie camera is once again positioned at the same spot.
