Recently, there are more and more news that many domestic mobile phone manufacturers are going to enter the tablet market. Xiaomi Tablet, which has been suspended for a long time, has been revealed to be launching a new generation of Xiaomi tablet. Traditional domestic mobile phone manufacturer vivo has already The "vivo Pad" trademark has been registered, and OPPO's IQOO has also registered the "IQOO Pad" trademark. Even Meizu, which has always been known for its small and beautiful products, has also opened an official account for the "Meizu Blue Tablet". Coupled with Huawei, which has been working in the tablet market for many years, the domestic tablet market was really lively for a while. Why do domestic mobile phone manufacturers focus on the tablet market? Can domestic tablets "encircle and suppress" the iPad this time?
Apple’s iPad is the well-deserved big brother in the current tablet market. Whether it is the excellence of the product itself or its market share, it is difficult for other tablet brands to match. Although for most people, the iPad may just be an artifact for catching up on TV dramas, taking online classes, or even making instant noodles, its capabilities in terms of functionality and productivity improvement are unmatched by other tablet brands. For many white-collar workers and designers, iPad plays an irreplaceable role.
However, despite the dominance of the iPad, the tablet market still has huge appeal for domestic mobile phone manufacturers. On the one hand, there are more and more application scenarios for tablet computers. Tablet computers are used in online classes, painting, and even hotel ordering. It can be said that tablet computers have largely replaced the functions of paper, pen and blackboard. On the other hand, the development of the domestic mobile phone market has encountered a bottleneck period, and the mobile phone market has basically been divided up by several major manufacturers. No matter which brand they are, it is difficult to go further, which also forces them to find new growth points, and tablet computers have become a natural choice.
Of course, it is still very difficult to bring down the iPad. The success of the iPad is not only due to its hardware advantages, but more importantly, the iPad has a complete ecosystem with many applications and accessories developed specifically for the iPad. These are things that current Android tablets do not have, and they are also the biggest weaknesses of domestic tablets. You can imagine how difficult it is to build a tablet ecosystem for the Android camp. If there are no sales, application developers will have no motivation to develop tablet applications. Without more tablet applications, sales will not increase... This is simply a vicious cycle.
Therefore, it is still difficult for domestic mobile phone manufacturers to encircle and suppress the iPad in the field of tablet computers. Fortunately, Huawei's Hongmeng system has done a good job in adapting to tablets, but Huawei alone is not enough. If we want to succeed, we still need more manufacturers and software developers to work together.
