Google released the original model of its flagship 7-inch tablet, the Nexus 7, back in June, 2012, and a month later the device was available to purchase from the U.S. Play Store with a $199 price tag.

Amazon is at present offering Sony’s former flagship smartphone of 2013, the Xperia Z, for $449.99 as part of its Boxing Day Deals Week — shaving a whopping $330 off of the online retailers usual price.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, Argos Online is currently selling the Wi-Fi edition of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1-inch for £279 (approximately $457) — that’s a pretty impressive saving of £50.99 ($83.55). This deal will expire Saturday, December 28, 2013, so you will have to be quick in order to take full advantage of this promotion.
Samsung unveiled its scaled-down portable Galaxy Tab 3 variant, the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, back in April, 2013, and three months later the device was available to purchase in the United States from several independent retailers for $199.
