In the first case we have a tablet with a pretty classic look, while the second touch of white on the sides and casing gives it a fresh, modern look. This is not a particularly slim tablet, but its dimensions of 210.8 x 124.2 x 9.95 mm and weighs 342 grams making it easy to transport model anywhere. Anyway, you have many numbers to pass unnoticed in shops or storefronts against other riskier equipment.

This yields a density of 188 dots per inch; a medium level of detail that we will no trouble enjoying apps and simple games, but that can get rather short for more complex games, videos and movies. The use of IPS technology achieves viewing angles up to 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

 Camera

In addition, it also has the ability to record HD video. Meanwhile, at the front of a camera is used with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels for selfies and videoconferences.

This chip is combined with a RAM of 1 GB to create an environment set, which should be enough to deal smoothly most Android applications and games.

But above all, this system is appealing because of the large number of quality applications with this platform already has. Facebook and Twitter for social networking, and Line WhatsApp for instant messaging, Evernote and OneNote to take notes, Candy Crush Saga Retry or entertainment … A long list that makes us customize the tablet to our liking. LG has also included several advanced features that are attractive. For example, we have Q Pair 2.0, a tool company that synchronizes the contents of an Android phone (both LG and other brands) directly on the tablet. Using Bluetooth, we can receive incoming calls, messages or recent apps that have been used in the terminal. Another interesting feature of the LG G Pad 8.0 is to establish a sequence of taps to lock the computer, or split-screen function to use two applications simultaneously.

 Finally, we should mention Google’s own applications, which have an important bearing on the use of the Pad. Among them are Google Maps to navigate, view our favorite YouTube videos or Gmail to manage all our mail.
