According to a report by Chinese publicationDigitimes, Sony’s upcoming tablet features 3840x2400px display resolution. Powered by a Qualcomm processor, it also has an 8MP camera and is said to be 8.6mm thick.
The upcoming Sony tablet will be among the most expensive models in the market at the time of launch, with a price tag of over $1,000 and will “target mainly the high-end segment” of the market. The report also states that Sony will soon put the tablet into mass production. The device is expected to be launched in the first half of 2015.
Pegatron Technology — the manufacturer of Apple iPad and Microsoft Surface tablets — is said to be manufacturing this Sony tablet as well.
This tablet will be in direct competition with Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 and Apple’s rumoured 12-inch “iPad Pro” tablet.
