Android 3.0+ dual-core processor, this tablet allows many Android users ready to start, but the price has become a threshold, Motorola, Samsung, LG and other manufacturers will be their dual-core tablet product prices are set at more than 499 US dollars, Flat with Apple iPad 2. Many people have turned their attention to the cottage factory in Shenzhen, not only domestic users, many foreign Android enthusiasts are also looking forward to the cottage manufacturers can pull down the price of dual-core Android 3.0 tablet. Before the Shenzhen factory, which was a cottage netbook, there are now many devices for tablet PCs, of which the Android tablet has become their main force. At present, some manufacturers launch low-end Android tablet, the price is as low as several hundred yuan, almost equal to the player market, but why not see Android 3.0 dual-core cottage flat?
This needs to be considered in two aspects. One is system support, and the other is hardware cost. Currently all Android 3.0 dual-core tablets require dual-core processor support, which is not a simple matter for the cottage manufacturers.
Of the mobile dual-core processors that are now shipping in volume, only Tegra 2 is provided to the manufacturers. However, because they cannot place orders in large quantities, the price of a single Tegra 2 processor reaches the factory at around $30 to $40. The cost of a good single-core processor is only around $20, which makes it hard for the cost-conscious cottage manufacturers to accept it.
The other is the problem of Android 3.0 tablet system, Google gives priority to Motorola, Samsung, LG and other large manufacturers to support them so that they can seize the market as soon as possible, the cottage manufacturers are now almost no Android 3.0 system development necessary tools. Another reason may be that Google wants to punish those companies that use Google applications such as Google Electronics Market in products without formal authorization.
At present, there are already prototypes of Tegra 2 processor tablet makers, but the system still stays in the Android 2.2 version, and the price is not low. It is expected that the 3.0 cellular system cottage flat panel still needs to wait until this summer.
