Summary
- The Asus Zenpad S 8.0 Z580C features a higher resolution 8.0-inch IPS LCD display with 1536 x 2048 pixels, offering a sharper image compared to the LG G Pad 7.0 LTE's 7.0-inch display at 800 x 1280 pixels.
- In terms of performance, the Zenpad is powered by an Intel Atom Z3530 chipset with 2GB of RAM, while the LG G Pad uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 with only 1GB of RAM, potentially leading to better multitasking on the Zenpad.
- Both tablets have a 5 MP rear camera, but the LG lacks a front-facing camera.
- Battery capacity is identical at 4000 mAh, but both devices lack fast charging.
- The Zenpad runs Android 5.0 out of the box, while the LG G Pad originally launched with Android 4.4.2, though it is upgradable to Lollipop.
- Build quality favors the Zenpad with a slimmer profile and slightly heavier weight.
