Verdict
LG Optimus Pad 3G is a good size and light, but the price and 3D gimmick make it hard to recommend for now.

What customers don't like about Lg Optimus Pad 3G (1GB + 32GB)

  • Heavier and thicker than major competitors like the iPad 2
  • Screen resolution (1280x768) can cause display issues or cut-off elements in some apps
  • 3D functionality often viewed as a 'gimmick' due to average camera quality and the need for glasses
  • Lack of a microSD card slot for expandable storage
  • Poor sunlight legibility makes the screen difficult to read outdoors
  • Launched with a high price point compared to other Honeycomb tablets
  • Limited long-term software support and difficulty upgrading to newer Android versions

Verdict

The LG Optimus Pad 3G (V900) is an 8.9-inch tablet featuring a 1280 x 768 resolution WXGA display with a unique 15:9 aspect ratio, powered by a 1GHz dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and 1GB of RAM. It comes equipped with 32GB of internal storage, a 6400 mAh battery, and runs on Android 3.0 Honeycomb, with integrated 3G HSPA+ connectivity via a standard SIM slot. A standout characteristic is its stereoscopic dual 5-megapixel rear camera system capable of 3D video recording and 1080p Full HD 2D video, complemented by a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Main pros include its comfortable 'sweet spot' size for one-handed use, smooth multitasking performance, and built-in HDMI output for 3D content playback on external displays. However, notable cons include its relatively heavy 630g weight and thick 12.8mm profile, the lack of a microSD slot for storage expansion, and the absence of a 3D-capable screen, requiring glasses for viewing depth effects.
