What we like about Lg G Pad X2 8 0 Plus 4G (2GB + 32GB)

  • The included Plus Pack accessory significantly boosts battery life and adds a full-size USB port and stereo speakers.
  • Features a sharp 8-inch Full HD (1920x1200) display that is well-regarded for media consumption.
  • Includes a built-in kickstand on the tablet itself for convenient hands-free viewing.
  • Equipped with a microSD slot that supports expansion up to 2TB.
  • Ships with a relatively clean version of Android Nougat (7.0) with useful split-screen multitasking features.

What we don't like about Lg G Pad X2 8 0 Plus 4G (2GB + 32GB)

  • The standalone battery capacity is considered modest (2,900 mAh) without the Plus Pack attached.
  • Performance can be sluggish due to a mid-range octa-core processor and only 2GB of RAM.
  • Cameras (5MP front and rear) are described as mediocre and lack high-end features.
  • Some users reported issues with the charging port's durability over long-term use.
  • The plastic build and wide screen bezels give it a dated appearance compared to more premium tablets.

Verdict

The LG G Pad X2 8.0 Plus 4G is a mid-range 8-inch tablet featuring a Full HD (1920 x 1200) IPS display and powered by a 1.4 GHz octa-core processor with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable up to 2TB via microSD. Its standout characteristic is the 'Plus Pack'—an included modular battery dock that adds a 4,400mAh cell (boosting the total capacity to 6,300mAh), a full-size USB port, and stereo speakers. Main pros include its portable design, 4G LTE connectivity, and enhanced productivity through the battery dock and pre-installed Microsoft Office apps, while primary cons are its modest 5MP cameras and a relatively slow internal battery charging speed.
