元器件交易网讯 3月7日消息，据外媒报道，2014年世界移动通信大会（MWC）展示了平板电脑行业新动向：品牌厂商开始关注拥有手机功能的平板；一些大牌厂商正在开发小众市场；除联想以外的中国厂商竞争力有所增加。
2014年新兴市场对智能通信设备需求激增，展会期间品牌厂商也展示了一些具有手机功能的平板，作为入门级及中端智能机的补充产品。华硕、惠普、华为都发布了具有4G LTE功能或支持双SIM卡的新平板。
传统平板方面，三星一月已经发布了新的高端及入门级产品，展会期间其他厂商并没有新产品发布。相反他们专注于增强现有产品线。由于Bay Trail平台的安卓版本产品尚未推出，华硕近期将重点放在Fonepad产品线上。另有传言称华硕接到Nexus平板订单。
联想在展会期间没有发布新的入门级平板，推出的是高端Yoga平板。索尼退出PC业务后，转向更保守的平板电脑策略。
展会期间，华为发布可媲美其他一线厂商产品的7寸及8寸平板。尽管华为开发的海思芯片在计算性能方面仍逊于同类产品，但华为在平板市场的野心是显而易见的。（元器件交易网毛毛 译）

For the conventional tablet segment,Samsung Electronics released its new high-end and entry-level devices inJanuary, but other first-tier vendors did not unveil new tablets for thesegment at the show.

Lenovo did not release any new entry-leveltablets during the show, but unveiled a higher-end Yoga Tablet. Sony turnedeven more conservative about its tablet strategy after quitting the PCbusiness.
