Sony Mobile Communications will launch a 12-inch tablet in the first quarter of 2015. Several other vendors are also developing large-size tablets for launch in the first or second quarters, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers.
The sources pointed out that Sony's 12-inch tablet will feature high-end specifications and come with a stylus, targeting mainly markets that have demand for graphics-related applications.
The sources are conservative about demand for large-size tablets since their clients have placed limited orders for these devices, but note that they have shown great interests in entering the segment.
Some vendors have already released large-size tablets earlier in 2014. Samsung released its 10.1-inch Pro series in the first quarter, pushing mainly to the enterprise market, while Microsoft also released its Surface Pro 3 in the second quarter.
