The supply chain is gearing up for orders from Samsung Electronics for components used in new 2K tablets, according to industry sources.

　　The tablets will be sized 10-inch and set for release later in 2014, the sources said, with most components expected to come from China-based supply chains.

　　Samsung is continuing to look for more lower-priced solutions and as a result is turning to China-based suppliers, the sources added.

　　China handset vendors meanwhile are expected to release new 2K products throughout 2014, the sources noted.
