According to The Elec GizmoChina, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Tab S8 series earlier this year, one and a half years after the release of the Galaxy Tab S7 family. The company had planned to unveil its upcoming premium tablets in December. However, according to the source, they will now be released the following year.

According to the report, Samsung’s decision is the result of recent global economic uncertainty.

In accordance with the report, as the global pandemic of Covid-19 nears its end, demand for IT products has begun to fall globally. Samsung originally planned to produce 33.6 million tablets in 2022. However, due to low demand, the company may be unable to carry out its plans.

The global tablet market will contract by 8% this year, according to DSCC (Display Supply Chain Consultants). However, the premium tablet category (OLED and Mini LED) is supposed to grow by 22%.

According to reports, Samsung has devised a new strategy for its upcoming flagship tablets. The Galaxy Tab S9 series, like the Galaxy Tab S8 series, is said to have three versions.

In the last 24 hours, Samsung has sold over 1.2 million Galaxy devices in India, totaling Rs 1,000 crore. On the first day of the online festive sales, Samsung India said it sold more than 1.2 million Galaxy devices worth more than Rs 1,000 crore (by value). The Galaxy series of smartphones were among the most popular devices on both Amazon and Flipkart. In terms of monetary value, Samsung sold Galaxy devices worth over Rs 1,000 crore in 24 hours.

According to the company, the Galaxy M13 was the best-selling device, while the recently launched Galaxy M32 Prime Edition was among the top choices for Amazon’s Kickstarter deals. In less than 12 hours, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 received over 50,000 pre-orders.

On the first day of Flipkart’s Big Billion Days, Samsung doubled its platform market share. The Galaxy F13 was a top seller in the 4G segment, while the Galaxy F23 was the most popular 5G smartphone on Flipkart.

According to the company, the Galaxy S21 FE and Galaxy S22+ sold well in the premium segment on Flipkart. Samsung has also stated that it intends to consolidate its 5G and overall smartphone leadership in the country.

“Galaxy M33 was the top-selling 5G smartphone on Amazon. Galaxy S22, the biggest deal of the year on Amazon, and Galaxy S20 FE were among the top sellers in the premium segment on Amazon,” according to the company.

Samsung is trying its best to enhance the user experience. In a real-world camera test, Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra easily defeats Huawei’s P40 Pro. Huawei P40 Pro is the Chinese tech giant’s latest flagship. It is not, however, the best flagship available. In a real-world camera test, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra outperforms the Huawei P40 Pro.

Samsung has also made the Buy Now, Pay Later option available for its Galaxy S22 Series, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy Z Fold 4 smartphones. This offer is available at retail stores across India to ICICI Bank Credit cardholders with a minimum credit limit of Rs. 1.50 lakhs. Samsung’s Buy Now, Pay Later scheme also requires no down payment and charges a 1% processing fee.

It is also planning to consolidate its 5G and overall smartphone dominance in the country.

Realme Pad Mini

Realme Pad Mini With 8.7-Inch Hd+ Display, 6400mah Battery Now Available.

In the Philippines, Realme has released a new tablet. The Realme Pad mini has been announced as a low-cost tablet for the masses. Realme Pad, released in India and other markets last year, has been followed by the new Android tablet. The Realme tablet’s new mini version is expected to arrive in India soon.

The tablet’s debut in India has yet to be confirmed by Realme. We can expect the Pad mini to launch in India very soon, given how the company is expanding its product offerings across different price points. Let’s look at the Realme Pad Mini’s price, specs, and other information.

Specifications and Features

Realme’s new Android tablet has an 8.7-inch LCD panel with thick bezels all around it. The display has a 1340×800 pixel HD resolution. Despite the thick bezels, the tablet has an 84.59 percent screen-to-body ratio.

The tablet is equipped with a 6400 mAh battery. Out of the box, it supports 18W fast charging. Because it’s a budget tablet, it’s made of plastic, resulting in a total weight of 372 grammes. Moreover, it’s quite thin with a thickness of 7.6mm.

Internal storage for the top storage option is 64GB. A microSD card can be used to expand the memory up to 1TB for those who need it. A Unisoc T616 SoC provides power to the tablet. Its maximum clock speed is 2.0GHz.

The 8MP camera on the back panel can be used to scan documents. There isn’t a light-emitting diode (LED) flash module. The tablet has a 5MP front camera for video calls.

About The Company

Realme is a Chinese company with a growing presence in the rest of the world, particularly in India and Europe, where its low-cost smartphones are causing a stir in the budget and mid-range markets. However, the company isn’t afraid of high-end handsets, and the GT line, which debuted in 2021, includes a few of them. Realme, in fact, has been one of the fastest-growing phone companies in recent years, so they’re definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Realme began as a sub-brand of another smartphone manufacturer, Oppo, in 2010, but became independent in 2018. Since then, the company has produced an impressive number of phones and has expanded its sales beyond India and China to include many other countries.
