Samsung reportedly developing 8 + 10-inch AMOLED screens for future tablets

New tablets to compete with iPad Air and iPad Mini in 2014, according to Korean press

In the early days of the Galaxy Tab line, Samsung released a couple of Android tablets with AMOLED screens the Galaxy Tab 7.7 and 8.9 butsince then the company's tablet lineup has been a strictly LCD-only affair. That may be about to change in 2014, however, as reports from the Korean press suggest that Samsung Display is working on 8 and 10-inch AMOLED screens for high-end tablets, due for release in the new year.

Korea's Digital Daily reports that the new screens will be aimed squarely at high-end tablets to compete with Apple's iPad Air and iPad Mini, and will arrive around the same time as its next flagship smartphone. Samsung's budget tablets will continue to use LCD panels, according to the report, an approach which would mirror its smartphone display strategy.

As these reports are far from official, it's worth taking them with a pinch of salt for the moment. But it'll be interesting to see whether these new devices might bring about a return of the Galaxy Tab brand in the high-end tablet market. In 2013 the Tab 3 line consisted of mostly entry-level tablets, with the high end occupied by the stylus-totingGalaxy Note 8 and Note 10.1 2014 Edition.
