Amazon plans to sell US$50 tablet
[BENGALURU] Online retailer Amazon.com Inc plans to release a US$50 tablet in time for the holiday season, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The 6-inch 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.
The company was not immediately available for comment.
Amazon also plans to release 8-inch and 10-inch screen tablets, the report said.
While other Amazon Fire tablets show advertisements as screen savers, it was not clear if the new 6-inch tablet's cost included ads, according to the report.
