What customers don't like about LG G Pad II 10.1 4G (2GB + 16GB)

  • Slow charging speeds, requiring a high-capacity charger for better results
  • Lack of a default app drawer in the LG interface, often requiring a third-party launcher
  • Relatively heavy and dense feel, which can be awkward to hold in portrait mode
  • Average to subpar camera quality, often described as grainy or lifeless
  • Speaker placement is on the sides/back rather than front-facing
  • Occasional performance hiccups or launcher redraws after heavy gaming
  • Fingerprint-prone back cover that can also feel a bit slippery

Verdict

The LG G Pad II 10.1 4G is a mid-range multimedia tablet featuring a 10.1-inch WUXGA IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. It is powered by a 2.26GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot. Key strengths include its long-lasting 7,400mAh battery, a sleek 7.8mm slim profile with a metallic-finish back, and useful software features like Dual Window multitasking and Reader Mode. Connectivity is robust with 4G LTE support, dual-band Wi-Fi, and an IR blaster for remote control functionality. However, it has some drawbacks, such as its 16GB of onboard storage being relatively low for modern apps, a camera system (5MP rear/2MP front) that performs poorly in low light, and a glossy back that is highly susceptible to fingerprints.
