LG announces the LG G Pad II 10.1 ahead of official announcement at IFA 2015

It’s about time that LG updated its tablet range and right on cue, LG has announced that the LG G Pad II 10.1 is going to be announced at IFA 2015 – yes, it’s a bit weird to be announcing something that will be announced again later, but hey, whatever floats their boat. The LG G Pad II 10.1 is a relatively high-end affair which is running a Snapdragon 800 under the hood. While that’s relatively dated as far as processors go, it’s still a powerful chip which should make great use of the 1920×1200 10.1-inch display that LG has put on the LG G Pad II 10.1. The other notable feature of LG’s new tablet is the battery – a pretty sizeable 7,400mAh – which should keep most heavy tablet users happy. Here’s the full list of specifications that LG released earlier today:

  • Processor: 2.26GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragonâ„¢ 800 Processor
  • Display: 10.1-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200 / 224 ppi)
  • Operating System: Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
  • Memory: 16GB eMMC / 2GB RAM / microSD
  • Camera: Rear 5MP / Front 2MP
  • Battery: 7,400mAh Size: 254.3 x 161.1 x 7.8mm
  • Weight: 489g
  • Network: DL 42 Mbps / UL 5.76Mbps (3G)
  • Connectivity: LTE Cat. 4 CA / Wi-Fi 802.11 a, b, g, n, ac / A-GPS / USB 2.0
  • Color: Brilliant Bronze
  • Other: Reader Mode / Dual Window / QuickMemo+

The key points of the LG G Pad II 10.1 that LG is emphasizing are its bezels – which LG says are the “slimmest bezel among similar-sized tablets currently on the market” – and Reader Mode, which dynamically turns down the blue colour in the backlight which they say makes for a more comfortable reading experience. Naturally, pricing and availability haven’t yet been made public so we’ll just have to wait till IFA 2015 for more information.

What do you think about the LG G Pad II 10.1?
