The low-cost tablets continue to gain ground and, from the first rumors about the possibility of even cheaper models of Nexus 7, there have already been several news about large companies determined to compete with low-cost manufacturers. Despite the fact that its latest launch has been a tablet with technical specifications that are not modest at all, Samsung It has also entered the list of manufacturers that are rumored to be able to put cheap tablets on the market over the next year.
until Amazon launched his Kindle Fire, the tablet sector, with the iPad as a reference, it was a market for high-quality devices and high prices, mainly. At least that's how it was on the part of companies trying to compete with the Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. This left a wide gap to be taken advantage of by small companies that manufactured devices of modest technical specifications, but with much lower prices, and that have prospered enormously in recent times, significantly improving their value for money.
The success of the devices Amazon y GoogleHowever, they have shown the possibilities of market expansion that exist for large companies if they decide to launch more affordable products, counting in their favor, with the confidence that their brands arouse among consumers. It appears, however, that the $ 200 range in which Kindle Fire and Nexus, is not enough to end the competition of low-cost tablets and more than one company is determined to make the leap: first there were rumors about a Nexus 7 of $ 99, which may or may not correspond to the leaks of new tablets Asus and, recently, we have learned that also Acer has in the oven a device of modest technical specifications which, supposedly, will be priced modestly as well.
What companies like Acer decide to make the leap to the field of low-cost tablets, attracts less attention, since it also has greater difficulties to compete with high-end tablets. However, that Samsung could follow this strategy is also somewhat more surprising, since so far its products (both in the case of the Galaxy Note 10.1 as in the Nexus 10) stood out precisely for their innovations. This is, however, what appears to be going to happen: as stated in some means, South Koreans could be preparing to enter the low-cost competition, although their strategy is to observe the experience of tablets of Asus y Acer and learn from your mistakes. It may, therefore, that, just as we recently met the G (an inexpensive version of the Galaxy Note 2), leaks about some cheap version of their star tablets will soon begin to arrive.
