Hardware

Chipset Chipset is a group of integrated circuits designed to perform one or a more dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints, Popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming.	Qualcomm MSM8952 Snapdragon 617
CPU	Octa-core (4x1.6 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.0 GHz Cortex-A53)
GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion.	Adreno 405
RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices.	2 GB
Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored.	16 GB
Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras.	Yes
Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device.	Accelerometer, compass
3.5mm jack	Yes
Loudspeaker	Yes
Audio Technology	No

Battery

Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions.	4800 mAh
Battery Life	10 hours
Charging	No

Camera

Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality.	5 MP
Front Camera	5 MP
Video	1080p@30fps
Camera Features	Panorama
Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration)	No

Connectivity

Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices.	4.2
Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world.	802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct
USB	microUSB 2.0
GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky.	GPS, GLONASS
NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches.
Wireless Charging Wireless Charging (Inductive Charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device.	No

Reviews

User Reviews 1 User Reviews	I particularly liked the ability to plug in a USB drive to directly access files, as well as the IR blaster which can control other devices. The 1920 x 1200 pixel screen looks sharp and has great viewing angles. Connectivity speeds over Wi-Fi and 4G are very fast. The rear camera takes decent photos for a tablet. - Redskull
User Reviews 2	The plastic rear panel feels solid in the hand. All physical buttons are on the right edge. A handy full-size USB port on top lets you directly plug in flash drives. It also has a microSD slot to supplement the 16GB internal capacity. - Review Detective
User Reviews 3	The side button changes the screen to black & white for easier reading, though I don't find this very useful personally. The 5MP camera performs decently but isn't exceptional. Gaming works relatively well, but the limited internal storage means you can only have a few large games installed at once. - dakunclear
Tabletmonkeys Reviews Tabletmonkeys Reviews	Pros: - Octa-core processor provides smooth performance - Ability to plug in USB drives directly - IR blaster to control other devices Cons: - Plastic build - Only one working speaker - Some lag in user interface

LG recently released the G Pad 3, an affordable 8-inch Android tablet. The tablet offers smooth performance and long battery life despite its low starting price. Its combination of capabilities and value earn it high marks.

The G Pad 3 runs on an octa-core Snapdragon 617 processor and 2GB of RAM. This keeps apps and games running fast.

The sharp 1920 x 1200 screen looks great and has wide viewing angles.

Its 4800mAh battery also lasts over 10 hours per charge. This beats tablets costing twice as much.

A major highlight is the full-size USB port. It lets you directly access files on flash drives and hard drives.

The included IR blaster is also handy for controlling TVs and other devices. Wi-Fi and 4G LTE connectivity speeds impress as well.

The G Pad 3 takes decent photos from its 5MP front and rear cameras. Gaming works well thanks to the fast processor. The version with 32GB of storage provides ample room for apps, media, and more.

The all-plastic design feels a bit cheap but holds up fine. Audio comes from only one bottom-mounted speaker.

It sounds passable but lacks bass. There is occasional lag when opening apps and switching between them.

But these flaws fail to ruin the overall experience.

LG's G Pad 3 tablet punches above its weight given the reasonable price.

Shoppers wanting good performance without breaking the bank should shortlist it.

Power users may want a faster top-tier tablet instead. But most can enjoy snappy speeds and long runtimes here without emptying their wallets.
