Verdict

The LG G Pad 8.0 WiFi (V480) is a compact budget tablet featuring an 8.0-inch IPS LCD with a 1280x800 resolution and a 4,200 mAh battery. It is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot. Main pros include its lightweight, portable design with rounded corners for easy one-handed gripping and useful software features like QPair for smartphone syncing, Knock Code for security, and Dual Window for multitasking. However, it suffers from dated performance that can lead to app-switching delays, a low-resolution display compared to rivals, and basic 5MP rear and 1.3MP front cameras that lack exceptional detail and a flash.
