This is a good price, but there have been better deals (in my opinion) on other tablets at this price. For example, the Lenovo Idea Tab 11" 2.5K Tablet with folio case and pen has gone on sale for exactly this $169 price at BB and has better display, more ram (and obviously, the folio case and pen). Might be worth waiting to see about any other Prime Day deals available. But if you need a tablet today, this does seem like one of the better deals.
The Galaxy Tab A11+ stands out as a budget Android tablet for everyday use, media, browsing, and light family tasks, with solid audio, decent performance for non gaming apps, and Samsung's long update support. The $169 price is repeatedly framed as strong value, especially versus similarly priced Lenovo options, and the tablet is also seen as useful for a home assistant dashboard. The main drawbacks are the missing S Pen support, no video out, and only 6GB of RAM, which can limit heavier games and make the display feel less impressive than some rivals. It is a practical pick if you want Samsung support and basic tablet duties more than premium extras.
Families buying a basic tablet for kids, because it handles YouTube and casual use well while lasting longer with Samsung's update support.
Samsung's support promise is the main selling point here: the tablet is described as getting 7 years of security updates, and another comment says Samsung confirmed 7 years of both Android OS upgrades and security updates through 2032. That is longer than the Lenovo alternatives discussed in the thread.
$169 is described as a strong price and, for some, the cheapest seen so far, especially since the 11-inch Onn tablets did not get discounted. It is also available at the same price on Amazon for the gray model, and eligible shoppers may see lower education pricing.
It does not support S Pen input or video out over USB-C. That matters if you want pen note-taking or external display output; otherwise Smart View can cover some screen-casting use cases.
It can handle light everyday use, but gaming is a weak spot: Roblox may need low settings and Monster Hunter Now struggled until performance settings were raised to max and RAM was increased from 4GB to 6GB. For browsing, YouTube, email, and Sheets it was reported as smooth.
Battery life is reported as weak, with fast drain and full charges taking hours even on a 56W charger. That makes it less ideal if you expect long unplugged sessions, but it may be fine for a wall-tethered dashboard or casual home use.
I've watched a few reviews on YouTube and this seems like a good deal, especially if you can get the EDU/employee discount. I already own a Galaxy Tab A9+ which still serves my casual usage needs, the only missing feature I wish it had is a fingerprint sensor (if anyone knows of a budget tablet with one, please let me know!)

IF you can get by with 4GB Ram, then the Lenovo Idea Tab version with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage is on sale right now at Amazon for $139 for the next 14 hours as I write this. Also comes with folio and pen and much better display than the A11+. Not bad at all.
Enjoy placing your order for shipment, only for it be overriden to delivery from a local store, where an inept driver that only understands roman numerals misdelivers your purchase to some stranger not on your street.
Enjoy.
This right here.
Rural area. Not much around me. We have county mandated e-911 signage (house address on large highly reflective green + white highway style signs). On all the major map providers (Google, Apple, Bing, Mapquest), there's a pin through our LIVING ROOM.
Where do they leave it? On the porch of an abandoned home, half a mile away.
Walmart will make it right. Home Despot WILL NOT. They'll make you fill out a POLICE REPORT. They'll tell you to file a claim with the shipper, even though the shipper says "you can't file a claim, that has to be done with who bought our services -- Home Deport". So you have no choice but to do a credit card chargeback.
So compared to the two, Walmart is bliss to work with.
