Online retailer Amazon.com Inc plans to release a US$50 (RM217) tablet in time for the holiday season, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The 6in screen tablet comes with a mono speaker and is priced much lower than Amazon's Fire tablet, the cheapest variant of which is sold at US$99 (RM430).
The company was not immediately available for comment.
Amazon also plans to release 8in and 10in screen tablets, the report said.
While other Amazon Fire tablets show advertisements as screen savers, it was not clear if the new 6in tablet's cost included ads, according to the report. — Reuters
