Dell on Thursday said that the company is going to discontinue its Android-based Venue tablet series and has further added that it won't be offering any OS updates to the existing line-up. With this discontinuation, the company has backed out of Android market entirely and is planning to focus on Windows-powered 2-in-1 devices.
"The slate tablet market is over-saturated and is experiencing declining demand from consumers, so we've decided to discontinue the Android-based Venue tablet line," Dell's spokesperson told IDG News Service in an email on Thursday. The tech company has also affirmed that it will continue to support the currently active warranty and service until their contract expires.
The Dell said that it has seen a rise in demand, especially in commercial space, for 2-in-1s since they provide a more "optimal" mix of PC capabilities and mobility that a tablet provides. As we know that last Month, Dell has unveiled Inspiron 7000, Inspiron 11 3000, and Inspiron 5000 devices in the 2-in-1 category at Computex 2016.
