LG G Pad 5 10.1 Tablet With Snapdragon 821 Officially Launched In South Korea

The LG G Pad 5 10.1 tablets was revealed today with a design that can confirm your doubts about future tablet production plans for devices. Yes, LG seems to be making a new tablet, and yes, it doesn’t look like what we expect from a serious competitor for very few high-end tablet manufacturers on the current market. The LG G Pad 5 10.1 runs Android and is capable of connecting to 4G LTE mobile data – but the rest is a bit confusing.

True to its name LG G Pad 5 10.1, it implies, this tablet has a 10.1-inch screen with rectangular, sharp corners – so it’s really a rectangle, not an all the rounded corners today have too many smartphones, with their stylized approach and cutting pixels and nothing. The screen of this device is the IPS LCD screen with FHD + resolution.

This tablet will weigh about 498 grams and measure 247.2 x 150.7 x 8 mm. The front is a single 5MP camera, while around the back is an 8MP camera. There is no LED flash on the sides.

Inside is the Snapdragon 821 system chip. That name will sound, because it was last used by LG on LG G6 smartphones in February 2017. Also, on this new LG tablet is 4GB RAM. and 32GB internal memory. This memory can be expanded via the microSD card slot.

Just outside the port, we installed LG customized Android 9 Pie – so Google has a custom user interface that is basically Android, but has an LG face. The internal battery is quite large at 8200mAh and it will charge relatively fast with Qualcomm’s official Quick Charge 3.0 technology.

The device works with USB-C and has a pair of bottom-firing speakers (when held vertically). There is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack at the top and along the right edge is the power/lock button, volume button, and fingerprint reader.

LG revealed that the device will soon be purchased in Korea. The LG G Pad 5 10.1 starts at 440,000 KRW (about $ 380 USD). It remains to be seen whether LG will release this tablet inside the United States.
