Samsung Electronics company has reduced orders for components used in tablets with screens measuring 10.1 inches.
This year, Samsung quarterly ships 8-8,8 million tablets.
Of the 17 million tablets released by Samsung in the first half of the year, models with small screens accounted for 70%. Their popularity is due to the attractive prices. Model Galaxy Tab 2 with 8GB of flash memory costs $ 169, and the Galaxy Tab 3 with the same amount of flash memory - $ 199.
Samsung tablets with screens measuring 10.1 inches less appealing than expected. Recently, the manufacturer has reduced the price in the U.S. of model Galaxy Tab 2 to $ 319. The tablet Galaxy Tab 3 retails for $ 379, and the Galaxy Note - for $ 449. However, it was not enough to compete with the more expensive model Apple iPad 4, equipped with a screen size of 9.7 inches. As a result, the South Korean manufacturer has to revise the strategy to capture the market.
