The latest study carried out of Digitimes Research confirms that smaller tablets, those with a 7-inch screen, continue to fall in price and will maintain this trend in the coming months. According to his account, the minimum price has already fallen in the United States well below 100 dollars, in the last month, reached $ 79. Without a doubt, good news for users who see how fierce competition in this market is favoring them.
Digitimes Research has carried out a new market study. Making use of its monitoring team, focused on the shipping data and market trends in global supply chains, it has evaluated the prices of smaller tablets, considered as such starting at 7 inches. The results are more than positive for users who are being favored by the fight between the different manufacturers. Competition is growing and the main companies they are not being able to keep prices high that accompanied their devices a few years ago if they want to retain their privileged position.
There is a circumstance that is triggering the sales of these terminals. The specifications, the technical characteristics of many of the 7-inch tablets are converging, that is to say, they are equalizing, all practically use the same or similar components. If we think of a low-end model, we can intuit what hardware it will have, the same in the mid-range or high-end, that is, the components are equalizing and therefore the prices too, already down. The differentiating factors are now different. The clearest example is found in Samsung, their products are typically priced relatively high compared to lesser-known manufacturers, but pressure from these, offering similar and even higher levels of performance, has forced them to moderate these figures.
Looking to stand out from this number of 7-inch tablets that had begun to arrive, some started betting on the 8 inchesIn recent months we have seen how many companies have opted for this size. However, the situation is repeating itself and the prices of these 8-inch devices are also starting to fall For the same reasons, tablets from Samsung, Lenovo, Asus, or Acer are "victims" of this competition where those who win for once are the consumers.
