Samsung Tablet Deals

DrivenGPS via eBay offers the factory-refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8GB 7" Android Tablet in White, model no. SM-T210RZWYXAR, for $119.99 with free shipping. That's $38 under the lowest total price we could find for a new unit, although we saw a refurb for $10 less a month ago. It features a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 7" 1024x600 touchscreen LCD, 8GB internal memory, 802.11n wireless, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 3-megapixel rear camera, microSD card slot, Bluetooth, and Google Android 4.1 OS (Jelly Bean).

A 90-day warranty applies, although it's unclear who supports it.

Expansys offers a selection of Google Play Edition tablets and unlocked smartphones, with prices starting at $224.99. Shipping starts at $9.99. Google Play Edition devices run a more efficient, stock version of Android and receive updates more quickly than devices that operate on a brand-skinned version of Android. The deals:
