• Samsung became the second-leading tablet seller in Q3 2024.
• It appears its low-end models were the biggest contributors to the increase in sales.
• The company experienced an 18.3% rise compared to the same quarter last year.

Samsung may not be the king of the hill when it comes to tablets, but it got a lot closer in Q3 2024. The tech giant has now become the second-leading tablet seller in the world.

According to sales figures from International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung managed to move 7.1 million tablet shipments in Q3 2024. This is an 18.3% jump up from where the tech giant was this time last year. Although it did launch the Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Ultra this year, IDC says these models aren’t responsible for the company’s growth in the sector. Instead, it appears that Samsung’s budget-friendly Galaxy Tab A9 models were the MVP, driving sales across most regions.
