Are you finding it difficult to choose the best budget tablet for you this holiday season from Lenovo or Samsung’s rich selection of diverse (and a little confusing) Android mid-rangers with surprisingly premium designs and respectable specs?
Allow me to make your decision… even harder today with a killer Lenovo Idea Tab Black Friday 2025 deal that somehow managed to escape my radar for the first few days of the device manufacturer’s special sales event.

Both Lenovo and Best Buy are selling the affordable 11-incher at a lower-than-ever price of $119.99 with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage space. Now, that former spec doesn’t exactly make this a multitasking powerhouse, but digital hoarders should find the latter number more than satisfying… for just a little over a Benjamin.
Other satisfying (at the very least) features and capabilities include a quad speaker system with Dolby Atmos technology, a reasonably hefty 7,040mAh battery purportedly able to keep the lights on for a full day’s work between fast 20W charges, pre-loaded Android 15 software, two guaranteed OS upgrades, and four years of regular security patches.
That large 11-inch display is not only large, but sharp and smooth as well, with 90Hz refresh rate support and a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, while the octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor… could definitely be worse for the Lenovo Idea Tab’s price bracket.
Your only other (half) decent ultra-affordable choice is therefore a different member of Lenovo’s expansive Android tablet family, which is… nowhere near as impressive. In short, I believe you should absolutely pull the trigger here before the unprecedented Lenovo Idea Tab deal inevitably goes away. Don’t forget, all good (and even great) things eventually come to an end.
