LG G Pad 8.0 Tablet Priced In India At Rs. 17,999

LG’s G Pad 8.0 tablet along with two other LG tablets were actually unveiled in Europe way back in May 2014. LG had begun the sale of the tablets in August. And now, apparently looking at the demand and success of a number of devices launched in India, LG decided to bring the LG G Pad 8.0 to the country. But they have done it rather quietly without making much noise. There was no announcement, no press release but the device is already available for sale via third-party retailers like #-Link-Snipped-#for a cost of Rs 17,999.

The tablet comes in two variants: the Wi-Fi only model and a model that offers 4G connectivity. The model available via Snapdeal is the Wi-Fi only model. Apart from the connectivity option, all other specs of the variants are exactly same. The tablet has an 8-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels. Considering it is a tablet, the device has a low processing capability courtesy its mere 1.2 GHz quad-core Cortex A7 processor along with 1 GB of RAM. Many smaller devices like smartphones have better processing power than the tablet.

In the camera front, the tablet has a 5 MP rear camera and 1.3 MP front camera. The device is based on Android KitKat 4.4.2 OS and has an internal storage of 16 GB which is expandable upto 64 GB using a microSD card (USB v 2.0). It sports a huge battery of 4200 mAh and can work for 6 hours continuously with a single charge. Under connectivity, it offers 2G, 3G, GPS and Bluetooth options. The device is available in two colours: Black and White.

Besides the above features, some additional features that the device contains Touch and Shoot and Gesture Shot. The Gesture Shot is for the selfie enthusiasts. It allows the user to click a photo from the front camera by a simple gesture like opening and closing of palms. The Touch and Shoot feature enables the tablet to focus on the subject automatically by tapping anywhere on the screen. Additionally, Snapdeal is offering a free flip cover for the tablet. It is apparent that LG is hoping that all these additional features would help them achieve stability in Indian tablet market.
