Talk about an unexpected item in the bagging area: Tesco is following the Hudl with not only a new tablet but also a smartphone.
Speaking to the BBC, Tesco boss Philip Clarke confirmed both a phone and a follow-up to the Hudl. The Hudl 2 will go on sale in September.
Tesco has lent its name to a phone before, with the basic Tesco VX1 Party Phone back in 2010. This time around it's reported that unlike that cheap and cheerful Party Phone, the new phone will compete with higher-end phones like the Samsung Galaxy S5.
The Hudl 2 is set to be another low-price and relatively low-specced device, however.
The success of the Hudl inspired other high street fixtures to try their own tablets, such as the Argos MyTablet.
Tesco was named last year as one of the best value British networks. You can even get 4G in your shopping trolley as Tesco Mobile offers super-fast data for kno! ck-down prices.
