LG G Pad 7.0 & G Pad 10.1 Review

2014-09-22
hey what is going on guys lon here from Android 40 and if you're looking for some great tablets that aren't going to break the bank LG believes they have the perfect solution let's take a look at the LG G pad 7.0 and the G pad 10.1 so the LG G pad 7.0 and 10.1 are budget tablets there's no denying that so they're not going to rival some of the higher-end options out there but with that being said these two tablets have pretty solid build quality and look a lot nicer than their price would lead you to believe they're both made entirely of plastic but they feel very sturdy and lightweight the 10.1 does feel a little more substantial in comparison to the 7-inch model but overall the build quality is pretty good on both and they both feature matte finishes so you don't have to worry about covering them in fingerprints these 7-inch G pad is a little bit thicker in comparison to the 10.1 but considering it's a lot smaller it's not going to be that big of a deal the button import layouts are similar but they do have their differences the power and volume keys are on the right side if you're looking at both of them in portrait but on the 7-inch model the microUSB port is on the bottom and your 3.5 millimeter headset jack is on the top with an IR blaster and a micro SD card slot that's covered by a flap on a 10.1 the IR blaster is on the same side as the power and volume keys while the 3.5 millimeter headset jack micro USB port and micro SD card slot are on the top or left side depending on how you're looking at it these speakers are located on the back on both and whereas the Jeep has 7.0 looks like it has dual speakers it's actually just a single speaker while on the G pad 10.1 you really do get dual speakers the placement on the back is a little unfortunate especially on the 10.1 but for budget tablets they actually don't sound half-bad now the displays are obviously different sizes with a 7-inch screen on the G pad 7.0 and a 10.1 inch screen on the G pad 10.1 respectively but even though they're different screen sizes the resolution is exactly the same with 1280 by 800 pixels on both so not a very high resolution meaning you'll be able to spot pixels pretty easily especially on the 10.1 but again these are pretty mid-range tablets outside of the low resolution however these screens aren't half-bad they've got pretty decent looking colors viewing angles are pretty good too and they get plenty bright so there's not much to complain about outside of the resolution also the same on both are the internal specs because after all these are practically the same tablets just in different sizes they're both being powered by a Snapdragon 400 processor the Adreno 305 and one gigabyte of ram which is pretty common specs in mid-range devices the performance however is actually not that bad despite the specs there is a little bit of lag here and there and sometimes there's frames being dropped but overall I really didn't have an issue using these tablets on a day to day basis apps open quickly multitasking wasn't really an issue and they both played games just fine whether it was simplistic game or something more graphically intensive the adrenal 3:05 does a pretty nice job with games so if you were worried about the performance of these two tablets there's really not much to be worried about as they both perform admirably with all things considered on the back of the G pad 7.0 you're looking at a three megapixel camera and a five megapixel camera on the 10.1 and there's no flash on either one so it's pretty basic just like you might expect it to be getting into the camera interface it's the same simplistic camera UI that can be found on other LG devices like the g3 and because it is so simple it really lets you focus on taking photos without messing around too much with the camera settings since these are fairly basic camera optics don't expect too much from the picture quality they're there if you want to take a photo or Kord a quick video with them but I wouldn't recommend trying to use either one of these tablets as your primary option for a camera it's just not a good idea as far as the battery life goes to Gpad 7.0 features a four thousand milliamp hour battery while the 10.1 has double D capacity at 8,000 milliamp hours what you sort of expect because the 10.1 is a larger tablet after all and with moderate usage you should be able to get a few days on both but I did find the battery life on the 10.1 to be a little bit better I was able to consistently get about 8 hours of screen on time on the 10.1 whereas on the 7.0 I only got about 6 hours so not too bad on the 7.0 but the 10.1 is definitely the better choice at least when it comes to the battery life with the G pad 7.0 and 10.1 you are getting Android KitKat right out of the box which is nice and obviously if you couldn't already tell the latest version of LG's GUI is here as well so the experience for the most part is pretty much the same as what you would find on the LG g3 from the lock screen to the home screen and the app icons and even features like dual window knock on and knock code are also here so if you're familiar with the g3 you'll feel right at home with the G pads one really unique software enhancement that will be very beneficial if you own an lg phone is the cue pair feature which allows you to pair your phone and tablet together in order to receive notifications like phone calls text messages social network notifications and even transfer cue memos between the two devices so if you own an lg phone like the g3 you'll be able to take full advantage of the G pads and their software features the G pad 7.0 and 10.1 are available now for $150 and $250 respectively their Wi-Fi only income in a few colors like black red or white and for the price I think they're pretty decent tablets so if you're looking for a decent bang for the buck budget-friendly tablet the G pad 7.0 and 10.1 are pretty solid options given their particular price point but that is it for the G pad 7.0 and 10 point one they're pretty solid tablets given their respective prices so if you're looking for a tablet that you can enjoy without burning a hole in your wallet check out the G pad 7.0 and 10.1 but that is it for this review thank you so much for watching and if you did enjoy it please give a
