Sony It is rumored for some time that Sony is working on a tablet substantially larger than we are used to date, but rumors are rumors and to date we have seen no concrete evidence that this is indeed the case. Last Thursday, the latest news published DigiTimes, which claims to have spoken with sources from the supply chain from Sony. This would show that the tablet with a 12-inch screen will be released in the first half of 2015 and soon all be put into production.

Sony seems to want to focus on this great tablet for the business and high -end market, because according to the sources is the retail price of the product above $ 1000. In euros which are reduced naturally lower, however, we know that many manufacturers choose to be 1: 1 to take over, making the tablet in Europe around 1000 euro could cost

The Japanese company. retired earlier this year his hands off of the PC market, but despite the disappointing performance of various Xperia tablets, wants it nevertheless continue to focus on this market.

The sources from the supply chain expect 12 inch tablet will be manufactured by Pegatron Technology. This company is also responsible for the production of the Apple iPad and the Surface tablets from Microsoft. A big surprise is not it, but Pegatron declined to respond to questions about his clients or orders.

The Sony tablet would rumored to feature a 12.9-inch screen with an impressive resolution of 3840 x 2400 pixels. For all those extra pixels to drive is probably used a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 soc Qualcomm, comprising four Cortex-A57 cores and four Cortex-A53 in combination with an Adreno 430 GPU. The 8-megapixel camera and other hardware may be placed in a 8,6mm thin case.

In 2015, we can probably expect more larger tablets of the usual manufacturers including Apple and Samsung.
