Not many people will admit that Samsung is right about its market strategy; with device coming out of their ears, it feels like Samsung is often trying to get its fingers into too many pies. However, it looks like Samsung might have been right about the tablet market, at least implicitly, with LG announcing new LG G Pad Series tablets in 7.0, 8.0 and 10.1-inch variants, which will replace the outgoing G Pad 8.3 and come in the same sizes that Samsung is launching its Galaxy Tab 4 tablets in.
Speaking about the new line of tablets, Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile, says that they have rethought their G Pad series:
“Unlike smartphones, tablets are not one size fits all. So we designed the G Pad Series for a diverse target audience, some who prioritize portability while others want the best multimedia experience possible.”
Or in other words, the G Pad 8.3 should not have been their only tablet entry last year. With the market share that the G Pad 8.3 did garner, LG is hoping to build upon that with their new tablets which will feature trademark LG user experiences like Qpair 2.0 (a feature introduced on the G Pad 8.3) and Knock Code. Prices and specifications have yet to be announced, however we aren’t expecting anything too posh as these tablets are likely competing with Samsung in the mid-range tablet market.
What do you think about LG’s strategy to launch three new tablets in familiar fashion? Would you consider getting one? Let us know your opinion in the comments.
