We will dedicate one last comparative to the new tablet of LG in which instead of facing it against the reference 8-inch tablets, we are going to measure it with another 4G tablet (although it is also available in a Wi-Fi version, of course) that you can already buy in Spain and at a price that would be more affordable: LG G Pad IV 8.0 vs. MediaPad T3 8.
Designer
Despite being a cheaper tablet, the Huawei it can already be pointed out a bit with respect to that of LG Regarding the choice of materials, since, like all the others from the Chinese manufacturer, it comes with a metal casing, something that is not a mere aesthetic issue, as you already know, but also helps to dissipate heat and, therefore, to take care of its performance and prolong the life of the components.
Dimensions
We have seen that compared to the best 8-inch tablets of the moment, the dimensions of the LG GPad IV They are not as spectacular as it might seem at first, but there is an important difference when we compare it with the more modest MediaPad T3 8, not so much in terms of size, where it even has an advantage (21,62 x 12,7 cm against 21,11 x 12,4 cm), but yes in terms of thickness (6,9 mm against 8 mm) and, above all, weight (290 grams against 350 grams).
Screen
Another point where the tablet LG has an advantage over that of Huawei, one of the most notable, probably, is in resolution: the two screens are the same size (8 inches) and use the same aspect ratio (16:10, optimized for video playback), but the former reaches the Full HD standard (1920 x 1200), while the second stays in HD (1280 x 800).
Unlimited
In the performance section, on the contrary, we find that they are quite even, although it is true that the tablet of LG mount a processor Qualcomm most recent (the Snapdragon 435 eight core to 1,3 GHz instead of Snapdragon 425 quad core to 1,4 GHz). Both have, yes, 2 GB of RAM memory and they already arrive with Android Nougat.
Storage capacity
Another point in which the tablet stands out LG, and not only in front of the tablet of Huawei but with respect to most of the mid-range, it comes with 32 GB of storage capacity instead of 16 GB. By having both card slot micro-SDYes, we can alleviate the differences a bit by pulling more external storage, in case we quickly run out of space.
Cameras
There is also the tablet of LG a step ahead of the mid-range when it comes to cameras and more specifically to the front, where with 5 SM, in fact, easily exceeds aa de Huawei (2 SM). Regarding the main, however, they are tied, with 5 SM in both cases. A separate question, as we always say, is whether this advantage is something that we must take into account, since most of us only occasionally use our tablet to take photos and often not even video calls too much.
Autonomy
As has happened in other comparisons, yes, the tablet of LG It starts again with a lot of disadvantage in the autonomy section, due to the short capacity of its battery (3000 mAh). If we add to this that with a screen with a higher resolution it is to be expected that its consumption will be higher (except what the new Snapdragon can help reduce), the normal thing would be that the victory would be clear for the MediaPad T3 8, which has a battery of 4800 mAh. In any case, you know, that only with real usage data can something be definitively said.
LG G Pad IV 8.0 vs MediaPad T3 8: final balance of the comparison and price
This time it is the reverse situation to which we had when we measured the new tablet of LG with the MediaPad M3 or the Mi Pad 3: the victory in technical specifications is for her (although the only points where she has an important advantage are the resolution and weight) but presumably it will also be more expensive because the only reference we have is at the moment that of Korea, where it will be sold for 300 Euros to change, but things would have to change a lot so that it would cost us less than 230 €I know what the version costs LTE of the MediaPad T3 8. And, above all, there is the question that the Huawei tablet, both the Wi-Fi version and the one with a mobile connection, can be purchased here.
