Verdict

The LG G Pad 8.0 3G (V490) is an 8-inch Android tablet featuring a 1280x800 IPS LCD display (189 ppi) and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core 1.2GHz processor. It is equipped with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD up to 64GB), a 5MP rear camera, and a 1.3MP front camera. Main pros include its comfortable one-handed grip, 3G cellular connectivity for on-the-go use, and an integrated IR blaster for remote control functionality. However, it is limited by its low RAM which can cause lag during multitasking, a lower-resolution screen compared to premium rivals, and the lack of a camera flash.
