if a thin and light Android tablet is what you're shopping for this fall LG might have just the thing for you for pocket now i'm michael fisher at Aoife 2015 in Berlin here with a quick look at the LG G pad - 10.1 well it's an Android tablet so there's only so many surprises we can expect right neither the 1920 by 1200 display nor the Snapdragon 800 processor is cutting-edge the 16 gigs of on-board storage will fill up fast and on paper the 5 and 2 megapixel cameras are there but the cheap ad 2 wasn't built to deliver on specs rather it was meant to fulfill customer demands for a larger screen bigger battery and faster performance whether LG succeeded in that latter ambition remains to be seen we only spent a few minutes with the android 5.1.1 build here but the screen is bloody big especially taking into account LG's dual window multitasking and the 7400 milliamp hour battery is nothing to sneeze at also there's microSD expansion alongside the built-in 4G support and IR transmitter for TV control stereo speakers on the edges and the tablet is plenty thin and light at 7.8 millimeters and 489 grams respectively in fact it's light enough that holding it in landscape with one hand really isn't a problem it's a very comfortable device pricing is yet to be officially announced but LG says it shouldn't be any more expensive than its predecessor was at release this is just an initial hands-on we'll be taking a closer look at the LG G pad 2 10.1 if the opportunity presents itself in the weeks ahead for much more from Aoife 2015 stay tuned to pocket now here on YouTube and at pocketnow.com until next time this has been michael fisher from berlin captain to phones on twitter thanks for watching we'll see you on the next one
