San Francisco: Google's CTO of tablets as well as Android co-founder Rich Miner claimed that the Android tablet market has continued to rebound since the pandemic era began and it will be more popular than laptops soon. He believes there's going to be a "crossover point" at some point in the near future where tablets would surpass laptop sales. Miner made the comments during 'The Android Show' earlier this week. "I actually think that there's going to be a crossover at some point in the not too distant future where there are more tablets sold annually than there are laptops."
"I think once you cross over that point, you are not going to be coming back. I think there's going to be another wave of apps here that are thinking tablet first," he said. Miner added that tablets have become "very productive and less expensive than laptops" as another reason for the growth of the market. "Tablets started to be much better for things beyond consumption and were being used for creativity and productivity," said Miner.
