It’s been over a year since LG introduced the LG G Pad 8.0, and it looks like the company has quietly upgraded it with the launch of LG G Pad 2 8.0. It looks similar to the previous generation G Pad 8.0, but comes with additional features.
Specifications wise, the LG G Pad 2 8.0 features a 8.0 1280 x 800 IPS LCD display. It is powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 processor with 1.5GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage (up to 128GB via microSD slot. It has a 5MP rear camera, 2MP front camera, 4200mAh battery, and runs on Android 5.0 out of the box.
Interestingly, while there’s nothing to shout about in the specs, what makes the LG G Pad 2 8.0 stand out is its full-sized USB 2.0 port. The port can be used for the regular things like transferring of files, plugging in a keyboard/mouse, or even a PS4 controller.
Other features include MS Office (Excel, Word and Power Point), a slimmer stylus compared to previous generation (3.5mm tip vs. 8mm tip), and has all the usual LG features such as QuickMemo+, KnockON, and more.
The LG G Pad 2 8.0 is currently only available in South Korea, the company did not mention anything about international availability.

When I saw “1280 x 800”, I turned around
y so? hd is much power saving than full hd. 8″ with that resolution wasn’t bad. if they offer better processor such as the 6XX and 8XX series, then it’ll be very very good choice.
1280×800, you can see those dots in the screen, and yes, processor is low as well
are you staring 10 cm from the screen? lol. i hardly see any difference between my full hd tab and my wife’s hd tab.
Not for me hahahaha
wow….. super low end stuff here….. 1280 x 800 then Snapdragon 400….. omg u expect a tablet to be so low end that it will lag like hell when use
Glad to see another stylus competitor apart from Samsung. Hope LG can catch up and come out another alternative to compete with Samsung Galaxy Note series.
What the fark… Not even Snapdragon 410 and 2GB RAM. Thanks but no thanks.
RM259 for the price? with such low spec this shall be the price.
