LG To Offer Three New G Pad Tablets
LG Electronics (LG) is adding three new tablets to its G Pad series to offer more options for tablet users.
The new G Pad devices - G Pad 7.0, G Pad 8.0 and G Pad 10.1 - will be unveiled at the MedPI 2014 IT/Tech trade show in Europe, taking place in Monaco from May 13-16. LG's tablet portfolio also includes the G Pad 8.3 model.
"Customers tell us that they want a wider range of devices that offer sizable screens without compromising portability," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. "Unlike smartphones, tablets are not one size fits all. So we designed the G Pad Series for a diverse target audience, some who prioritize portability while others want the best multimedia experience possible. G Pad delivers on all counts."
The latest G Pad tablets will include LG's proprietary UX features such as QPair 2.0 and Knock Code. With an updated version of QPair, which was first introduced on G Pad 8.3, users can connect to their Android-powered smartphones via Bluetooth to receive notifications of calls and messages and now be able to respond directly from the G Pad. What's more, Knock Code enables users to power on and unlock their LG smartphones in one step by entering a personalized "knock" pattern on the smartphone's display. The knock pattern can be entered anywhere on the screen in any size - with the display on or off - using a personalized sequence of two to eight taps for more than 80,000 possible combinations.
