LG’s G-Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition tablet from LG was a pretty kick-butt tablet. Too bad it is no longer available on the Play Store for purchase. LG continues to bring more G-Pads to market though. They announced a trio of tablets would become available and the talk was surrounding similar specs in all three sizes with the screensize being the variable. LG’s next big tablet adventure has been formally announced by LG with the release of the LG G Pad 10.1. The latest  G Pad in the LG line of tablets is the largest to date and brings some of the LG G3 features and functions to the larger tablet side of things.
Spec wise you are looking at a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 display that is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm snapdragon processor and 1GB or RAM. It packs in 16GB of on-board storage with a removable miscro SD card slot for added storage. The rear camera is 5MP and the front facer pulls off 1.3MP. The tablet launches with Android 4.4.2 KitKat and is powered by a 8,000 mAh battery. While the over all specs aren’t high-end, top grade, need a credit card and a mortgage to purchase, the LG G Pad 10.1 has some interesting things about it. It will use the newer LG UX overlay, supports the Knockcode security options as well as QPair 2.0, which is probably one of the cooler features in my book. QPair is an app that pairs your phone to your tablet so you answer calls and texts from your tablet.
“Consumers use tablets differently from smartphones and we wanted to highlight the important role of entertainment in the new LG G Pad 10.1,†said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “Tablets are increasingly being used as companion devices, which is why we made connecting the LG G Pad 10.1 to other devices so easy and convenient and why LG G Pad 10.1 offers the best core technologies of our G series smartphones.â€
LG states the G Pad 10.1 will be available in the United States first, followed by other markets in Europe, Asia and Latin America this month. No price is mentioned as each retailer will be announcing pricing and specific dates on their own.
