Samsung Electronics reportedly plans to launch 7-, 8- and 10.1-inch
tablets as well as a series of ultrabooks in 2013 optimizing on its success
gained with sales of smartphones.
The
7-inch and 10.1-inch tablets are both set to appear in retail channels in the
first half of 2013 to avoid directly competing against any Apple devices that
are estimated to come out in the second half.
In
addition to the 7-inch model with a US$149-199 price range, Samsung is also
considering an 8-inch device with a price range between US$249-299 to fill the
gap between its 7-inch tablet and entry-level iPad mini, which is priced at
around US$329.
Samsung is estimated to have shipped 15 million tablets in 2012 and is
aiming to ship 40 million units in 2013.
