When yesterday we told you more about the pros and cons of phablets of large size, we told you that in the case of the largest smartphones, the borders with respect to the most discreet tablets can be diluted. If there is another feature that characterizes consumer electronics, it is the fact that, despite finding a multitude of media that can offer us a similar experience with uses such as the reproduction of audiovisual content, brands are not only striving for launching a multitude of models of each one of them, but also for creating duplications and making users end up acquiring many of them. An example can be found in that in many homes, we find televisions and tablets at the same time and that, in the case of the latter, the same content can be seen as in the larger ones thanks to the apps.
But, to what extent can we find a convergence between all of them and when is it possible to see a certain rivalry between each of the large formats that millions of people manage and store at home every day? Next we will try to see what is the implementation of the tablets compared to other media such as laptops and through data such as the volume of business in the technology sector, we will check the weight of terminals between 7 and 15 inches on the market.
Contextualizing
According to the consultancy Future Source Consulting, in 2016, the Consumer electronics generated approximately 680.000 million of dollars around the world. Despite the fact that the figure increased by about 7.000 million compared to the figure for 2015, the truth is that after this amount, as usually happens, we find nuances that, in this case, translate into formats that grow and others that experience a decline. braking. Digital cameras and TVs of small size are those that suffer the most pronounced falls. Taking into account the decline in this second format, can we come to think that it is due to the appearance and consolidation of tablets, whether conventional or convertible?
1. Portable or hybrid?
This consultancy, whose data is collected on the portal ITReseller, affirms that in the case of computers, which includes desktops and laptops, we have also witnessed a drop compared to previous years' marks. In this case, those responsible seem to be the convertible tablets that, as we mentioned on other occasions, they are expected to occupy the bulk of sales of touch models in just 4 years and that, by 2021, only 1 in 4 media will belong to the conventional format.
2. Tablets or televisions?
Next we will see how everything can be interpreted as a mere chain reaction. Even though the number of tablets Conventionals sold continue to plummet, the truth is that this behavior was logical, since during the first years of this device's trajectory, there was a boom in which millions of people threw themselves to buy them due to a A favorable climate in which despite the economic situation, it was possible to find a vast catalog of models with a price range that ranged from a few tens of euros to several thousand. We give you two other data that serve to exemplify these statements: In Spain, 3 out of 4 households they have one of these devices. On the other hand, the leisure, translated into content reproduction, is the most widespread use among all age groups.
3. Tablets or phablets?
The same consulting firm that we are citing throughout this article emphasizes that the telephony entered some 338.000 million of dollars throughout the whole of 2016. This figure represents approximately half of all that generated by consumer electronics throughout the previous year, which can be a very reliable indicator of the behavior of consumers. smartphones. In addition, it is believed that these supports will continue to grow, although yes, in a more modest way than in previous years. As we all know, here we must make a distinction between the most discreet devices, and those that exceed the 5,5 inches. At the same time, in this last category, a new family of terminals has appeared that exceeds 6 or 6,2 which, for many, have been responsible for the drop in sales in tablets traditional. What do you think?
4. Tablets or game consoles?
The industry of game It has become very profitable and this means that today's most popular titles have emerged as true works of art that have nothing to envy of films with better plots and effects. As we recalled on other occasions, diversification and the search for new audiences has become the oxygen cylinder of many companies such as Nintendo, which through terminals such as Switch, they try to conquer potential audiences made up of tens of millions of users. Do you think that tablets for gamers will end up having a future or will the larger formats continue to occupy the podium?
As you have seen, all the devices that can be found in millions of homes are interconnected. Do you think that there can really be a confrontation between all of them? Do you think that in many cases, one alone can be more than enough to enjoy social networks, movies, games and even work? What supports do you have in your houses? We leave you available more related information such as the current state of convertibles so that you can know yourself more.
