Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: May 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Lg G Pad F2 8 0 4G (2GB + 16GB)

  • Extremely affordable price point, especially when bundled with carrier plans.
  • Compact and lightweight 8-inch design makes it easy to hold in one hand for long periods.
  • Includes a microSD card slot for easy storage expansion up to 64GB.
  • Useful built-in features like the IR blaster for TV remote control and KnockON to wake the screen.
  • Decent battery life for casual daily tasks like reading and light browsing.
  • Clean and functional user interface that mimics standard Android closely while adding helpful shortcuts.

What we don't like about Lg G Pad F2 8 0 4G (2GB + 16GB)

  • Display resolution (1280 x 800) feels dated and lacks the sharpness of modern competitors.
  • Limited 1GB or 2GB of RAM leads to noticeable lag when switching between multiple apps.
  • Frequent reports of sluggishness and occasional system freezes during moderate use.
  • Poor software update support; many users report being stuck on older Android versions without upgrades.
  • Low-quality cameras that struggle in anything other than ideal lighting conditions.
  • Tinny-sounding rear-mounted speakers that lack bass and direct sound away from the user.

Verdict

The LG G Pad F2 8.0 is an entry-level 4G LTE tablet featuring an 8-inch WXGA (1280 x 800) IPS display and a slim, lightweight 350g design. It is powered by a 1.5GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6750 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot up to 2TB. Notable characteristics include its 5MP front and rear cameras, Android 7.1 Nougat operating system, and a 3,000mAh battery that can be supplemented with an optional 4,400mAh 'Plus Pack' for a total of 7,400mAh. Its main pros are the comfortable, one-handed form factor, the inclusion of a full-size USB port on certain modular accessories, and useful software features like 'Comfort View' to reduce eye strain. However, common cons include its limited 16GB of onboard storage, lack of a camera flash, and entry-level performance that can result in sluggishness during heavy multitasking.
