Best Samsung tablets under $50

Top pick: Galaxy Tab A9+ — the newest and best-balanced tablet that lands under the cap: an 11-inch screen, 64GB storage and Android that still gets updates. Best all-round choice for streaming, browsing and light games.

• Galaxy Tab S6 Lite — pick this one if you want to take notes or sketch; it's the only one here with an S Pen and the sharpest screen. Lowest stock, so move fast.
• Galaxy Tab A9 — the compact alternative: smaller, easier to hold one-handed, still current-generation.

Everything else that fits is a used, open-box, refurbished or long-discontinued model (Tab A7 Lite, Tab A 2019, Tab E). Several ship from abroad, so check duties before buying.
