If you are sourcing tablets for a brand, a distribution channel, or an enterprise deployment, this page is written for you. Liyu Electronic is a tablet OEM manufacturer and ODM supplier based in Shenzhen, China — the city that produces roughly 15% of the world's tablets and sources 90% of its electronic components within a 50 km radius. This page explains exactly what we build, what it costs at different order volumes, and how a typical tablet procurement project runs from first RFQ to shipment.
One thing to know upfront: tablet sourcing in 2026 rewards buyers who move deliberately. Memory costs are volatile, certification requirements are tightening in the EU and US, and the difference between a 500-unit white-label program and a 5,000-unit OEM program changes everything about pricing and lead time. A structured approach with a factory that has in-house SMT lines, mature platform designs, and export compliance experience is what protects your margin and your launch date.
As a custom tablet manufacturer, we produce across four main product families, each built on proven chip platforms with validated reference designs:
Built on MediaTek (MTK6769, MT8788, MT6877), Unisoc, Rockchip, and Qualcomm platforms, from 7-inch entry models to 12.1-inch premium configurations. Android 13/14 with GMS certification, customizable firmware, kiosk modes, and MDM support for fleet deployments.
Intel N-series and Core-based 2-in-1 detachable tablets with genuine Windows licensing, active stylus support, and configurations suited for business productivity, field service, and vertical applications.
IP65–IP68 sealed, MIL-STD-810H tested units for field service, logistics, manufacturing, and public safety. Wide-temperature operation from -20°C to 60°C with high-brightness panels readable in direct sunlight.
Compliance-ready builds for K-12 deployments — EN71, ASTM F963, COPPA-aligned content controls — with stylus support, reinforced chassis, and education-tender configurations.
Browse the current platforms on our Android Tablet, Windows Tablet, and Rugged Tablet product pages, then send us your target spec for a customized quote.
The three terms get used loosely in sourcing conversations, so here is how they map to real decisions in a tablet PC ODM or OEM project:
| Model | What changes | Typical MOQ | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|
| White label | Your logo, packaging, and startup branding on a finished platform | 500 units | 30–45 days |
| ODM (light custom) | Your configuration: memory, panel, battery, firmware, peripherals | 1,000–5,000 units | 45–75 days |
| OEM (full custom) | New tooling, chassis design, custom PCB, dedicated test tooling | 5,000+ units | 90–150 days |
White label is the fastest route to market and the lowest commitment — well suited to channel launches and pilot programs. ODM is where most serious tablet brands land: you pick from validated designs, specify the BOM, and own the brand experience without funding an R&D cycle. Full OEM is for products where the hardware itself is the differentiation. Our engineering team supports all three, with in-house SMT, assembly, and test lines under one roof.
For a representative 8-inch Android tablet (4GB + 64GB, Wi-Fi, IPS display), FOB Shenzhen pricing at different volumes in the current memory-cost environment:
| MOQ tier | Approx. unit price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 500 units | $78 | White label only; setup costs amortized over fewer units |
| 1,000 units | $70 | Standard entry for light customization |
| 5,000 units | $62 | Optimal cost/flexibility balance; full ODM support |
| 10,000+ units | $58.50 | Strategic pricing; dedicated line and extended warranty options |
Two caveats matter in 2026. First, memory: display, SoC, and battery remain stable cost centers, but DRAM and NAND pricing has moved sharply — conventional DRAM contract prices rose over 90% quarter-over-quarter in early 2026. We quote with a 90-day price-hold window on confirmed POs and will flag components at risk of reallocation. Second, configuration: premium builds (10-inch FHD, 6GB+128GB, 5G, stylus) add $18–35 per unit. Send your target spec and volume and we will return a line-item quote within 48 hours.
A typical tablet procurement project with us runs in six steps:
Export tablets need a compliance story before they need a marketing story. Baseline certifications we build to:
If your market requires certifications not listed here, raise them at RFQ stage — pre-certified platforms cost less and ship faster than retrofitting compliance after a design is frozen.
Guangdong and Jiangsu provinces together produce roughly 78% of China's tablet output, and Shenzhen sits at the center of that ecosystem. For a buyer, that density translates into three concrete advantages: component lead times measured in days rather than weeks when allocations shift, SMT and assembly capacity that can flex between phone and tablet lines during demand spikes, and an engineering talent pool that has already solved the problems your project will encounter. When a memory part goes on allocation, a Shenzhen tablet OEM manufacturer can re-quote a pin-compatible alternative and re-run samples inside a week. In 2026's supply environment, that responsiveness is worth more than a few cents on unit price.

White-label programs start at 500 units, ODM light-customization at 1,000–5,000 units, and full OEM with new tooling at 5,000+ units. MOQ is negotiable for buyers committing to multi-year volume, especially on pre-certified platforms.
An 8-inch 4GB+64GB Android tablet runs approximately $78 at 500 units and $62 at 5,000 units, FOB Shenzhen. Premium configurations (10-inch FHD, 6GB+128GB, 5G, stylus) add $18–35 per unit. Memory pricing in 2026 is volatile, so confirmed quotes carry a 90-day price-hold window.
A tablet ODM supplier offers validated reference designs you customize — faster and cheaper to launch. A tablet OEM manufacturer builds to your full specification with new tooling — more control and differentiation, higher upfront cost. Most brands start ODM and move toward OEM as volume grows.
White label: 30–45 days from PO to shipment. ODM light customization: 45–75 days. Full OEM with tooling and EVT/DVT/PVT cycles: 90–150 days. In 2026, add a 10–19 day logistics buffer for panel and memory components.
Yes — that is the baseline of every engagement. Logo silkscreen or embossing, custom boot animation, branded firmware with your pre-installed apps and MDM hooks, retail packaging design, and localized manuals are all handled in-house.
CE, FCC, RoHS, and REACH as standard; EN71 and ASTM F963 for kids and education models; IP ratings and MIL-STD-810H reports for rugged units; Bluetooth SIG and regional radio approvals for wireless configurations.
Whether you are launching a brand, replacing an underperforming supplier, or building a fleet deployment, the next step is the same: send your spec and volume to linda@liyuelec.com (WhatsApp/WeChat: linda4851) and receive a quotation within 48 hours.
