A few days ago we told you more about the possible phablets that LG would be preparing to start 2017 with a certain advantage over the other larger firms. When we talk about these devices, we tell you that they would not come alone, since they would be accompanied by another series of smartphones. We also commented that next year, which is already at hand, could be a turning point in the field of tablets since experts from all over the world, predicted that in the following year, the downward trend in the number of units sold and that already has more than two years of falls.
In order to leave once again, a step beyond its main competitors, the South Korean company presented a new tablet in its home country just a few hours ago. This model, called LG GPad III, It would be accompanied by some elements at least, striking, that could serve the technology to mark its roadmap during the future. Here we tell you what has already been revealed about this device. Will it be a sign that in 2017 we will really see a significant change in trend in the sector?
Integrated
The most striking thing in this sense and that has served as a claim for the next LG is the fact that the tablet will have a lectern that would allow supporting it on different surfaces and not only that, but also using it in four different ways as we have seen in other terminals of companies such as Lenovo. Among these functions we would find the «Store mode» or the «Stand». As we will see in terms of image performance, it will be a large model. The housings would be made of plastic. One of the aspects that has attracted the most attention is the fact that its design does not incorporate great displays, but rather represents a return to the original formats. It would be around half a kilo in weight and its approximate dimensions would be approximately 25 × 16 centimeters.
Image
As we mentioned a few lines above, another of the most characteristic features of the LG G Pad III will be its panel, which will have 10,1 inches. In what is a nod to home users, it will incorporate a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. At the same time, it would have two cameras, one rear and one front, which in both cases would reach 5 Mpx, acceptable if we take into account the lenses that we currently find.
Performance
Here we would find indicators that would allow us to include the LG device within the mid-range. A processor that would reach peaks of 1,5 GHz to which would be added a 2 GB RAM. Your ability to storage initial 32 GB, could be expanded by Micro SD cards up to 2 TB, which would make this model one of the highest in this sense. With this last feature, not only is a nod once again to the public who use the terminals for leisure, but also, and as we will see below, to professionals.
Operating System
In the mid-range, and especially in the high-end, Windows is gradually gaining prominence. However, the tablets that usually equip this platform have a drawback in many cases: their price. To try to distance itself from this current, the next of the South Korean would have Android Marshmallow. To try to partly satisfy more demanding users, we would find an add-on called "Time Square" that would simultaneously display some functions such as clock and calendar on the panel. Regarding networks, another of the possible claims of this model: Connections WiFi and Bluetooth state-of-the-art as well as GPS.
Battery
Autonomy remains one of the pending tasks. Although it is possible to find devices whose batteries exceed 7 or 8.000 mAh, the capacity of this component ranges between 4.000 and 6.000 in the case of terminals that are not the highest but not the lowest. The LG G Pad III would enter the mid-range again with one of 5.000 mAh of which the time of use that it would offer is yet to be known.
Availability and price
As we remember at the beginning, LG has shown this terminal in its country of origin, South Korea. For now, no more details have been revealed about whether this model will make the leap outside its borders or not. No more has been released about its release date, either. Its approximate cost would be about 350 euros to change. Some specialized portals suggest the appearance of a second model aimed at other regions that could have a stylus.
After learning more about the projects that could come to light from this company in the first months of 2017, do you think that the LG G Pad III could be attractive by combining apparently balanced benefits, with a price that is not the highest? ? Do you think that the uncertainty in the tablet sector will continue during 2017 and that it will be difficult to make assessments about its future reception? You have more related information available, such as the phablets that the technology will present in Las Vegas during CES so that you can know what else will arrive from the Asian country.
