LG announces new 10-inch tablet with improved screen, huge battery

With the tablet market in decline for a while now, it's getting harder and harder to get excited about yet another tablet. LG's new offering, the LG G Pad II 10.1, hits several sweet spots that makes it quite interesting to folks shopping for a large Android slate.
Unlike Samsung or Apple, LG isn't going for an ultra high resolution screen or a super thin profile. Instead, the LG G Pad II 10.1 offers a 1,920x1,200 resolution 10.1-inch screen (an improvement over last year's LG G Pad 10.1, which had a 1,280x800 pixel screen), and a huge, 7,400mAh battery, a combo which (in theory) promises a long battery life.

Other specifications include a quad-core, 2.26GHz Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage memory (expandable via microSD memory cards), a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel camera on the front. The Android 5.1.1 device is 7.8mm thin, weighs 489g, and comes in one color: Brilliant Bronze.
For comparison, the recently launched 9.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 has a 2,048x1,536 resolution screen and a thinner profile at 5.6mm, but its battery only has a 5,870mAh capacity.
The exact date of availability as well as pricing have not been announced. LG will show off the new tablet at IFA Berlin, which runs Sept 4-9 this year.
