Regardless of the fact that Samsung has been filling tablet production lines and slashing prices of its tablets, the company will most likely not hit its shipment goal of 60 million tablets shipped in 2014. Although, the company has shipped 20 million devices in the first half of the year 16.6 percent higher on the year.
To help get closer to its goals for the year, Samsung may offer more promotional items on top of price cuts. Current devices have seen price changes as well. For example, the Galaxy Tab S — that debuted at $499 — is now $399.
It could very well be that with the quality sub-$300 tablets on the market now, the need for more expensive tablets is fading away. Of course that's speculation.
