Verdict

The LG G Pad 8.0 LTE (V490) is an 8-inch Android tablet featuring an IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and a density of approximately 189 ppi. It is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor paired with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a dedicated microSDXC slot up to 64GB. The device supports 4G LTE connectivity, includes a 4,200mAh non-removable battery, and is equipped with a 5MP rear autofocus camera alongside a 1.3MP front-facing sensor. Key strengths include its portable, lightweight build weighing 344g, a bright display with wide viewing angles, and useful software features like QPair 2.0 for smartphone syncing and KnockCode for security. However, it is held back by dated performance benchmarks, limited multi-tasking capabilities due to the low 1GB RAM, and a lack of sharpness in text and images compared to high-definition rivals.
