LG outs tablet as light as a soda can in South Korea

LG isn’t marketing its tablets outside of its home base as much but if you’re curious about what the South Korean company is up to, then we have some news for you. LG launched a new 8-inch tablet aptly called the LG G Pad IV 8.0 FHD. From the name itself, you can glean that it has Full HD display. The company is marketing it towards “young people” and banks on its portability and lightness to attract attention. Weighing in at only 290 grams, it seems to be just as light as that soda can in the photo above.

Internally, it’s not that much of a powerful slate but it should be enough for some users. It runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 2TB via microSD), 3,000mAh battery, and Android 7.0 Nougat. It also comes with 5-megapixel rear and front-facing camera setup and LTE connectivity. As mentioned in the title, it’s only available in Korea and comes in Dark Brown for KRW 325,000 (around CA$365). LG is also selling a PlusPack accessory that serves as a stand, external battery, and speaker. The PlusPack goes for KRW 82,000 (around CA$90).
