LG G Pad 8.0

“LG's G Pad 8.0 V480 is an 8-inch tablet where some compromises have to be made. Although the screen's resolution is high enough, some contenders have more to offer. Its performance is on par with many of its rivals, but they have been in the market for over one year now. The device could be a bit faster for its price of 199 Euros (~$253), and there is room for improvement particularly in the graphics performance. However, LG's tablet uses an up-to-date version of Google's Android and comes with some software bonuses that facilitate use considerably.A big plus is found in the G Pad 8.0's outstanding battery life, which is only surpassed by the MediaPad M1. The highly reflective screen does not help make the review sample the perfect outdoor companion either. Also, the speakers are certainly not the best of their kind.The G Pad might satisfy buyers looking for a tablet for home use. The performance is absolutely sufficient for communication apps, Internet, and watching videos. Only gamers should definitely keep their hands off this tablet.”

“Like its larger sibling, the G Pad 10.1, the G Pad 8.0 has been forced to endure some compromises in order to hit its impressively low price point. The sluggish Snapdragon 400 chipset often struggles to keep up, and the overall experience is generally skittish.However, the low-res screen is less of an issue on this model as the display size is smaller, making those blocky pixels less obvious. It's also impossible to deny that LG has done an excellent job with its customisation of the Android OS – the features it's introduced are genuinely useful, and the minor cosmetic changes deliver a look which is just as pleasant as stock Android, if not more so.The G Pad 8.0 won't satisfy the needs of seasoned tablet aficionados, and is arguably better suited to newcomers or younger users, but for the price, it's still worth a look if you're shopping on a tight budget.”
