After indicating a desire to focus more on the tablet market in 2014, Korean sources are reporting that Samsung did reach an internal goal of selling 40 million tablet devices during 2013. This sets them up for 2014 when they hope to sell 100 million tablets. If Samsung succeeds in selling that many devices, it may help make their name synonymous with tablets instead of Apple.
According to Samsung’s numbers, they sold 9.1 million tablets during Q1, 8.4 million during Q2, 10.5 million in Q3, and closed out the year with 12 million units in Q4 during the holiday shopping season. Besides holiday gift givers and buyers, Samsung benefitted from the release of the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition.
As we have noted, information has already been leaking about several new tablets Samsung plans to release during the first quarter of 2014. That would seem to be consistent with plans to focus on the tablet market.
