The South Korea-based
company, Samsung, has come at the centre of media attention after being
reported by the local daily newspaper that it has been working on its 12-inch
tablet PC. If it is believed to be true then it is going to be the biggest
screen sized tablet PC made by Samsung ever. The Korean media also claimed that
Samsung Display and Sharp will supply about 2.5 million 12.2-inch panels to
Samsung Electronics for this new device. It is also claimed that display would
be based on IGZO (Indum-Gallium Zinc Oxide) technology. However, there is no
exact launch date found in the report but it is thought to be showcased in
October this year.
It is also heard from
different upstream supply chain that besides Samsung, tablet PC leader, Apple,
is also developing tablets with a 12-inch
or larger display. Due to poor sales of 9-inch and 10-inch devices, vendors
are losing interest to make tablets in these two sizes. Among different size
tablet PCs, only 7-inch devices are getting more popular.
According to evleaks, this
12-inch tablet PC will be dubbed as SM-P900. It will have resolution of
2560x1600 pixels and will be powered by an Exynos Octa 5 processor. The device
is also expected to support S-Pen, Samsung's stylus solution for its Note
series tablets and phablets.
Readers may get different
specification of this device in different websites. In another technology site
it is published that SM-P900 tablet will run on Android 4.2.
