Samsung has been one of the known names in the Android tablet market. Its tablets are known for their impressive displays, sleek design, and much more. So now, here are all the reasons why Samsung tablets are just superior to most other Android tablets.

High Quality AMOLED Displays

One of the standout features of Samsung tablets is their high-quality AMOLED displays. While not every model, many Samsung tablets are released with bright AMOLED screens. To recall, the South Korean tech giant is a known display maker, especially renowned for its Super AMOLED display technology. These deliver vibrant colors, deep blacks, and much more. So Galaxy Tab S series in particular offer these screens with high resolution panels.

Samsung’s Software Experience

Samsung offers a bunch of features that make its tablets more intuitive than the rest. Keeping aside the hardware, the brand builds its Galaxy tablets to cater to both casual and intensive users. It usually offers an ample amount of RAM and storage to handle some light gaming, multitasking, and other kind of apps. There are also other intuitive features like DeX mode. This basically allows your tablet to function as a desktop PC. DeX even enhances multitasking with multiple windows, which isn’t common in other Android tablets.

Samsung Ecosystem

Similar to how the iPad exists in the Apple ecosystem, the Samsung Galaxy Tabs also work seamlessly with other Samsung branded products. This includes the Galaxy smartphones, Galaxy notebooks, and others. So you get an interconnected experience that makes it easy to share files, sync notifications, and switch between devices. Samsung tablets also support a wide range of accessories like the S Pen, which provides a high level of precision and versatility for note-taking, drawing, and even video editing. So Galaxy Tabs aren’t meant for more than just entertainment.

Conclusion

Samsung has a strong lineup of tablets that range from budget to premium models. While these might not always seem like the best package in terms of hardware, they have an edge with superior displays, well integrated ecosystem, and a strong lineup of accessories. Samsung builds tablets that appeal to both casual users and people that require productivity as well. Earlier this year, the brand dominated the Indian market with a massive 48 percent market share, growing in both the commercial and consumer segments. In every top tablet list, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A and Tab S series have always been on the list.

If you’re not particularly interested in tablets, you can check out the new Samsung W25 and Samsung S25 Flip series of foldable smartphones, which were just announced in China.

The IDC report also revealed that Samsung was able to ship a large number of Galaxy A8 series tablets, as well as the premium Galaxy Tab S8 series, which debuted in March of this year. In comparison to the previous quarter, Samsung gained more than 8.3% in the premium segment in Q1 2022. This indicates that the company is getting popular in the $500> range.

“The popularity of recently-launched Galaxy Tab S8 series and Galaxy Tab A8 series enabled us to further strengthen our leadership in the tablet market.

As we enter the third year of the ongoing global pandemic, tablets remain in high demand for work and school needs. The latest report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) has revealed that although the fourth quarter of 2021 saw a decline in shipments of tablets by 11.9% when compared to Q4 2020, total shipments grew by 3.2% when accounted for the whole year.

So let’s take a look at the shipment numbers of top tablet and Chromebook manufacturers to figure out who came out on top in 2021.

Apple remains dominant in the tablet market with its iPad offerings. The Cupertino giant retains the top spot with 57.8 million units shipped in 2021. The brand enjoyed a 34.2% market share and experienced an 8.4% yearly growth. Apple also shipped the most tablets in Q4 2021 at 17.5 million, however, the brand experienced an 8.6% decline in shipments when compared to Q4 of 2020.

In the second spot, we have Samsung with 30.9 million tablet shipments in 2021. The South Korean giant commanded an 18.3% market share and enjoyed a 3.8% yearly growth in the tablet segment. Samsung shipped 7.3 million tablets in Q4 2021 which was a 21.6% decline compared to Q4 2020.

Lenovo came in third with 17.7 million tablets shipments in 2021, which amounted to a 19.2% yearly growth compared to 2020. The company shipped 4.6 million tablets in the last quarter of 2021 which was 1.6 million sell than the volume shipped by the brand in Q4 of 2020.

Amazon shipped 16.1 million Fire Tablets in 2021 giving it the fourth-largest tablet market share at 9.5%. The brand grew 15.1% compared to 2020 and even enjoyed a positive growth of 1.3% in Q4 shippings year-on-year.

On the fifth position, we have Huawei and Honor who suffered a 32.1% decline in shipments at 9.7 million units shipped in 2021. However, the initial decline in shipping volume somewhat stabilized in Q4 of 2021, with the brand shipping 2.5 million tablets compared to 2.9 million shipments in Q4 2020.

The sharp decrease in the yearly shipping numbers is most likely due to the recent sanctions by the U.S. which prevents the brand from doing business with any American companies like Qualcomm and even Taiwan’s TSMC, which is the leading contract manufacturer for chipsets in the world.

Despite the market moving past its peak demand for tablets, senior research analyst Anutoopa Nataraj has stated that the shipments will remain above pre-pandemic levels as virtual learning, remote work, and media consumption remain priorities for users.

From China to India to the EMEA region, the tablet market has experienced a resurgence of sort propelled by the COVID 19 pandemic. Before this resurgence, the tablet market had been experiencing dwindling fortunes since the emergence of large display-packing smartphones. The resurgence started last year as a result of the lockdown which gave rise to the need to move classes online, hold virtual meetings, and work remotely. To get a clear idea of the growth level, China recorded its biggest growth in the tablet market since 2014 in Q3 2020.

Market research firm Counterpoint has now revealed that the global tablet market equally recorded a substantial 19% YoY growth in 2020. The industry saw demand for large-screen mobile devices spiral upwards as a result of the need to work remotely, as well as take online classes during the stay-at-home period. Even as restrictions are being eased up, the demand for tablets isn’t looking like what will come down soon. Counterpoint also reports that the industry grew by a staggering 53% YoY in Q1 2021 after reaching a five-year high in Q4 2020. However, the shipments fell by 22% on a Quarter-on-Quarter basis but that is due to the first quarter being an off-season period.

Samsung and Apple which have sustained their tablet business over the years recorded the biggest growth during the period as they expanded their market share in 2020 following the rising demand. This was made even easier for the duo since most OEMs had either closed or downsized their tablet market. Xiaomi, for instance, haven’t launched a new model since 2018 when the Mi Pad 4 was launched. The plight of Huawei which hitherto had a significant share of the market, also gifted some more market shares to Apple and Samsung.

The report also shows that Apple’s iPad shipments grew by 33% worldwide in 2020 compared to 2019, making it the market leader. The US company also saw an increase in its market share in Q1 2021 to 37%. The Cupertino-based company recorded impressive performance in all major regions globally but that of Japan continued to hover around an all-time high.

Samsung Electronics has emerged as the top brand for tablets in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) in the fourth quarter of last year. This arrives as the pandemic has caused a growth in popularity for devices with larger screens as the world shifts to the digital spheres for work and education.

According to a BusinessStandard report, the South Korean tech giant shipped over 4 million tablets in the EMEA regions in the period between October and December 2020. The company held a market share of 28.1 percent in the region, as per an industry analytics based firm, IDC. These figures are up from a year prior, when the company only shipped 3.2 million units of tablets and had a market share of 24.8 percent. As per IDC, “Samsung held first position in EMEA due to its positive and strong growth across the region and mainly driven by its presence in digitization projects in schools in Central and Eastern European countries.”

Furthermore, the tablet market in Central and Eastern European regions also saw a market growth of 32.3 percent year on year. This surge was higher than the one witnessed in both Middle East and Africa, which saw just a 10.3 percent growth. Meanwhile, the Western Europe’s tablet market only saw a growth of 7.7 percent year on year. In the tablet market, Samsung was closely followed by Apple, which shipped 3.5 million tablets in the EMEA markets within the final quarter of last year.

This also marked a rise of 17.1 percent from a year ago and had the company hold a market share of 24.6 percent in the region. As per Nikolina Jurisic, a senior research manager at IDC Europe, “Shortages and price increases in notebooks are urging consumers to shift their focus to tablets as lockdowns and stay at home measures remained in place. Online schooling and digitalization projects in education are visible across the region, with the largest recorded in Romania, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and South Africa.”

The year 2021 has just begun but Samsung has already launched a bunch of smartphones, including the Galaxy S21 series. Now, it seems like the company is gearing up to release its first tablets of 2021 as one of them has been spotted on Geekbench revealing certain specs.

This upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab will come with model number SM-T225. According to its Geekbench listing, it will be powered by MediaTek MT8768WT chipset.

For those unaware, this rare SoC is known as MediaTek Helio P22T (aka P22 Tab). This silicon is found inside the Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus (2nd Gen). 

Further, the forthcoming Samsung tablet will feature 3GB RAM and thankfully, it will run Android 11, unlike some recently launched budget Galaxy smartphones.

Nothing else is known about this Galaxy Tab, apart from the above-mentioned features and its Geekbench score, which happens to be 810 points and 3439 points for single core and multi-core tests respectively.

That said, the Samsung SM-T225 could be the Galaxy Tab A 8.4” (2021) whose 3D CAD renders were leaked earlier. But we think that the chances are low as last year’s Galaxy Tab A 8.4” (2020) features the model number SM-T307, which is larger. So this one could be a cheaper model instead.
