Huawei achieves significant growth amidst an 11% global decline in tablet sales during Q4 2023.
Tablet sales ended 2023 on a downbeat note as the numbers dropped a significant 11% in the final quarter compared to the same period last year, according to market research firm Canalys.
Tablet Sales Decline by 11% in Q4 2023
This slump brings the total decline for the year to 10%, with just 135.3 million tablets shipped – the lowest since 2011.
“Even with holiday promotions and bundle deals, the tablet market couldn’t escape its slide,” said Himani Mukka, an analyst at Canalys.
Predicted Rebound in the Tablet Market
However, she predicts a rebound in 2024, thanks to factors like better inventory management, government purchases, and new tablet models from players like TCL and Lenovo.
Apple is also expected to refresh its iPad lineup this year which could further help boost the market.
Apple Remains Top Tablet Seller
Despite the overall decline, Apple remained the top seller, shipping 14.8 million iPads in the final quarter – though that’s still a 24% drop compared to 2022. Samsung followed in second with 6.8 million units, down 10.5% annually.
Top Tablet Sellers in Q4 2023
Huawei took third place with 2.8 million units which is a growth of 95.4% compared to Q4, 2022. Whereas, Lenovo also saw a healthy growth of 15% with 2.6 million units shipped to reach fourth place. Amazon rounded out the top five with 2 million units shipped but suffered a 43.9% annual decline.
Innovation Key to Reviving Tablet Market
Analysts believe innovation is key to reversing the tablet market’s fortunes. Kieran Jessop from Canalys points to the “gap between tablets and other personal computing devices” in terms of features like on-device AI integration.
They say bridging this gap and creating a more unified user experience across devices will be crucial for vendors.
PC Shipments Expected to Rise in 2024
In contrast to the tablet market, PC shipments are expected to see an 8% rise in 2024, reaching 267 million units. This growth is attributed to the upcoming Windows refresh cycle and the emergence of AI-capable and Arm-based devices.

Vivo Pad 3 Certified with 66W Charging on 3C
Vivo‘s upcoming tablet, the Pad 3, has received 3C certification in China, hinting at its imminent launch. It is listed on the certification platform with the model number PA2473.
Vivo Pad 3 3C certification
According to the certification listing, the tablet will support fast charging at 66W. However, it does not mention any cellular connectivity support, a feature typically included in 3C certification. So its absence suggests that the tablet might be available exclusively in a WiFi-only variant.

Currently, there is very limited information floating about the Vivo Pad 3. Early reports suggest that the tablet will feature a 13-inch LCD display with a 3K resolution. Likewise, it might be equipped with a Dimensity 9300 processor, making it a flagship offering. However, other specifications remain under wraps for now.
Rumors of other tablets
Notably, the Pad 3 isn’t the only tablet Vivo is rumored to be working on. There are speculations about the launch of a new tablet under its iQOO sub-brand. The device, possibly iQOO Pad Air, has also recently received 3C certification with 44W charging support.
The Vivo Pad 3 is expected to make its debut in China in March, alongside a bunch of other Vivo products.
There are rumors that Vivo will unveil the Vivo X Fold 3 and X Fold 3 Pro, and Vivo X100s smartphones alongside the Vivo Pad 3. To note, the X Fold 3 has already received approval from China’s radio certification platform.

Galaxy Tab S6 Lite by Samsung set for re-release in 2024
Just a few days ago there were some rumors that Samsung might be re-releasing the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Now GSMChina has some information to confirm this and they reveal the existence of the Tab S6 Lite 2024 models with the IMEI database. Samsung will officially launch the new tablet again in 2024. We also learned that this tablet has received some upgrades.
Samsung is re-releasing Tab S6 Lite in 2024
The first Tab S6 Lite was introduced in 2020. This model had an Exynos 9611 chip and attracted everyone’s attention with high sales numbers. That’s why Samsung re-released the same tablet in 2022 with a different processor. This time it arrived with the Snapdragon 732G SOC. Now Samsung has decided to relaunch the Tab S6 Lite. The new Galaxy Tab S6 Lite will have an Exynos 1280. This will significantly improve performance compared to the previous generation S6 Lite.
SM-P625 SM-P627
The IMEI database reveals 2 different Tab S6 Lite 2024 models. The model number SM-P625 belongs to the Tab S6 Lite 2024 which will be sold globally. The second model number is SM-P627. This model number belongs to the model that will be sold in Turkey.
Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 Geekbench 6 Result
There is also a Wifi version of Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024. The Wi-Fi version has the model number SM-P620. We already came across this model a few weeks ago. The Geekbench result confirms that the new Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 will have an Exynos 1280 SOC.
Samsung surprised everyone and probably thought it’s a good idea to reintroduce their most selling tablet with the same name. We expect the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 to delight users and at the same time, hopefully, Samsung will be able to achieve the desired success again.

Samsung to Re-Release Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and Galaxy Watch 4
Samsung is reportedly planning to re-release two of its products, following a trend it has set in recent years. The company is said to be re-launching a tablet and a smartwatch, both of which were originally released several years ago.
According to reliable tipster Roland Quandt, the re-launched products will carry the branding ‘2024’ in their names, similar to the previously re-released devices. While Quandt does not provide any further details about the devices, it is expected that more information will be revealed in the coming days.
The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, which was initially launched in 2020 with an Exynos 9611 chip, will be re-released for the second time. In 2022, the tablet was launched again with Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G and Snapdragon 720G chipsets.
As for the Galaxy Watch 4, it was originally released in 2021 and the upcoming ‘2024’ edition will mark its first re-release. It is currently unclear whether the re-released models will have any differences in terms of specifications. However, based on previous experiences with Samsung’s re-released devices, it is likely that any changes will be limited to newer firmware rather than hardware upgrades.
In the meantime, if you are in need of a new smartwatch and cannot wait for the re-released Galaxy Watch 4, you can explore the latest Galaxy Watch 6 series, which is available for purchase on sites like Amazon.
