LG launches ‘LG G Pad 8.3’ in the UAE

LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator, launched in the UAE the LG G Pad 8.3 tablet, the latest addition to its G Series lineup of premium mobile devices. The all-new LG G Pad 8.3 boasts the first Full HD display on an 8-inch class tablet, a unique user- experience and wide range of connectivity features. The LG G Pad 8.3 builds on the recent launch of the LG G2 superphone, reinforcing LG’s commitment to leadership in advanced mobile devices through its premium G Series products.  

The South Korean manufacturer focuses on increasing its market share in the region with the much-awaited launch of the new tablet for the Middle East market. 

“The demand for tablet has been growing steadily in the Gulf. With the introduction of the G Pad 8.3 tablet, we are offering the right product for the techno-savvy customers,” said Mr. D.Y. Kim, President of LG Electronics, Gulf FZE. “The premium device is an exciting addition to the LG’s G Series smartphones. The G Pad exemplifies the most sought-after technological innovations as yet in the tablet segment, which is currently among the fastest-growing trends in electronics industry.” 

Pocket-Sized Portability with Powerful Battery

Despite its large display, the LG G Pad 8.3 features a slim and sleek form factor that is comfortable enough to hold in one hand. Such compact portability is based on LG’s learning from consumers regarding the optimum size of a tablet. While maintaining its portability, the LG G Pad 8.3 squeezes in a powerful 4600mAh battery for long-lasting usage but is still as light as a newspaper at just 338g. 

First Full HD Display Tablet in 8-inch Class

Incorporating a key attribute of other premium G Series devices including the G Pro and G2 smartphones, the LG G Pad 8.3 is the first 8-inch class tablet to offer a Full HD dis- play. The G Pad is equipped with a 1920 x 1200 WUXGA (Widescreen Ultra Extended Graphics Array) display capable of delivering picture quality with even higher resolution than a standard Full HD display. In addition, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 Processor with 1.7GHz Quad-Core CPU enhances the viewing experience with power-ful performance as users will be able to enjoy Full HD content without any compromise. 

True Convergence Experience with QPair

The LG G Pad 8.3 meets the demanding requirements of the convergence age by im-proving connectivity between multiple devices. With the unique QPair app, every call and message received on a smartphone will appear on the G Pad for a true convergence experience. Users can then send simple replies through the LG G Pad 8.3. QPair also allows the G Pad to easily connect to other manufacturers’ smartphone and tablets (Jelly Bean OS recommended). Notes created on the G Pad’s Quick Memo can be seamlessly saved into users’ smartphones and shared from either device. 

User Experience Maximized for a Tablet

The LG G Pad 8.3 offers practical features that provide real-life benefits, such as en- hanced multitasking. Thanks to its 8.3-inch Full HD Display, user experience (UX) features unique to the LG G Pad 8.3 are maximized for the large screen: 

Slide Aside enables seamless multitasking by simply “sliding” currently open apps off to the side using a three-finger swipe.

QSlide controls up to three different apps in one window with no interruption, especially convenient on a large screen.

KnockON turns the device on and off by tapping the display twice.
