After an under-performing 2011, Korean-based LG?is trying to start the year by stepping up its game and introducing its first 4G LTE tablet ? The Optimus Pad LTE.
The Optimus Pad LTE has an 8.9-inch True HD IPS display (1280x768p) and measures a mere 9.3 mm in thinness. It also weighs 497 grams, which would be 69 grams less than the super-light Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Let?s take a deeper look at the specs to see what we have here:
- Android 3.2 Honeycomb
- Qualcomm 1.5GHz Dual-Core / Dual Channel Processor
- 8.9-inch IPS True HD Display (1280x768p)
- 8 MP rear-facing camera / 2 MP front-facing camera
- 32 GB of internal storage (supports microSD cards of up to 32 GB)
- 6,800 mAh battery
- HDMI, DLNA compatible
Not bad, but we simply do not know how well it could hold up against the upcoming Tegra 3 tablets. These are also coming with affordable prices, making it harder not only for LG, but for every manufacturer to compete. Not to mention the fact that this press release makes no mention of an update to Ice Cream Sandwich.
At this point in the game, tablets should not be released without at least the promise of an upcoming update to Android 4.0. Not all LG customers have been happy with updates (or lack thereof) on their phones and tablets, so this might be something to consider before purchasing the Optimus Pad.
The software version and price are our only concerns, though. If LG makes things right in those departments, this wouldn?t really be a bad tablet to consider, especially if you are a lover of 4G LTE speeds. The specs are pretty decent as well, and the thinness and weight make this device very attractive.
We do not yet know exact prices or release dates. The Optimus Pad LTE will be first launching in Korea, though, followed by the rest of the world soon afterwards.
What do you guys say? Would you go for this LTE tablet, or would you rather wait for a quad-core, Ice Cream Sandwich pad? Let us know what you think and hit the press release button for more details.
