Best Large Tablet for the Money: UK Picks

Best large tablet for the money: UK ranking

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ offers the strongest balance of screen size, features and price in this comparison. Its 13.1-inch display, Android 15, S Pen support, microSD expansion and IP68 protection come with a Currys price of £689.

Among the modern consumer tablets compared here, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the largest model at 14.6 inches. The 13-inch Apple iPad Pro is the premium iPad alternative, but its £1,499 price makes it less compelling if value is the main priority.

Prices in the table are from the linked UK retailer pages checked on 9 September 2026. The two Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra listings have different storage and connectivity configurations.

1. Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ 13.1-inch: Currys lists the 128GB model at £689. Its 2.8K display, 90Hz refresh rate, Android 15, S Pen support, microSD slot and IP68 protection make it the easiest recommendation for a genuinely large screen without four-figure pricing. Currys’ Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ listing provides the price and specifications.
2. Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 14.6-inch, 256GB Wi-Fi: The largest Android option in the comparison, with a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, 2960 × 1848 resolution, S Pen support and microSD expansion up to 2TB. The Wi-Fi version weighs 692 grams. Currys lists it at £1,198.99 in its 256GB Wi-Fi listing.
3. Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 14.6-inch, 512GB 5G: This version adds 5G connectivity and 512GB of built-in storage for £1,219. Currys lists it reduced from £1,449. It suits buyers who need mobile connectivity or more internal storage while keeping the S11 Ultra’s 14.6-inch screen. See the Currys 512GB 5G listing.
4. Apple iPad Pro 13-inch, 2025: The premium iPad choice costs £1,499 for 256GB at Currys and uses Apple’s M5 chip. Its tandem-OLED display has a 2752 × 2064 resolution and ProMotion up to 120Hz. Storage options run from 256GB to 2TB, while the Wi-Fi model weighs 579 grams. Apple’s technical specifications provide the display and weight details.

Large tablet Android: which Samsung model is best?

The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ is the better-value large tablet Android option. Its 13.1-inch screen is smaller than the S11 Ultra’s 14.6 inches, but it costs £509.99 less than the 256GB S11 Ultra Wi-Fi listing. It also combines S Pen support, microSD expansion and IP68 protection with Android 15.

The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is the better fit when maximum screen area matters most. Samsung measures its display as 14.6 inches across the full rectangle, or 14.5 inches when the rounded corners are taken into account. The 5G version weighs 695 grams, compared with 692 grams for Wi-Fi. Both configurations support microSD expansion up to 2TB.

For a large tablet Samsung with more built-in storage, the 512GB S11 Ultra versions offer twice the storage of the 256GB configuration. The choice between Wi-Fi and 5G depends on whether mobile connectivity is required.

13 and 14 inch tablet choices compared

A 13- or 14-inch tablet is the practical upper end of the modern consumer models compared here. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ measures 13.1 inches, the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 14.6 inches and the iPad Pro 13 inches.

The S10 FE+ combines its large panel with a 90Hz refresh rate, Android 15, S Pen support and IP68 protection. The S11 Ultra adds a larger Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen at 2960 × 1848. The iPad Pro uses a tandem-OLED panel and supports ProMotion up to 120Hz, but it costs more than either Samsung model in the table.

What about 18 inch or 20 inch tablets?

Samsung Galaxy View had an 18.4-inch screen and was an older Samsung model from 2015. It demonstrates that an 18-inch Android tablet has existed, but it belongs to an older large-screen category rather than the current Galaxy Tab range.

Commercial and industrial Android panels are available at around 18 to 20 inches. An 18.5-inch commercial Android panel specification illustrates the distinction: products in this class are not necessarily handheld consumer tablets. Current “20 inch tablet” shopping results mainly show ordinary tablets, rather than a clearly established 20-inch handheld consumer model.

How to choose the best tablet for the money

1. Set the screen requirement. Choose 13.1 inches for value, 14.6 inches for the largest mainstream Android display, or 13 inches for the iPad Pro format.
2. Choose the operating system. The S10 FE+ and S11 Ultra use Android, while the iPad Pro uses Apple’s iPad platform. Existing apps and accessories may matter more than a small difference in screen size.
3. Choose storage and connectivity. The S11 Ultra is available in the configurations shown above, including 256GB and 512GB storage and Wi-Fi or 5G connectivity. Its microSD support extends storage by up to 2TB.
4. Match features to price. The S10 FE+ focuses on practical value, the S11 Ultra on its larger Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, and the iPad Pro on tandem OLED, ProMotion and Apple’s M5 chip.
