LG gave up on Android phones but still has tablet ambitions with the new Ultra Tab

• LG has launched a new Android tablet in South Korea.
• The tablet runs Android 12, sports a 10.35-inch display, and is powered by the Snapdragon 680.
• The tablet has pen support and is available with either 64GB or 128GB of expandable storage.

The company is dipping its toes back in the tablet space with the new Ultra Tab, even though it's down and out when it comes to phones.

The Ultra Tab has a large display. This is meant to be oriented in landscape mode and has a 5MP front facing camera. The camera is on the back

It's not really anything to talk about. At least it's not outdated because it's powered by a new 4G chip. It has a measly 4G of ram and either 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage.

There's no word on the new version of the tablet, but it has quad-stereo speakers and a Wacom pen. An optional case with a keyboard is offered by the company. There is a 7,040mAh battery that supports Quick Charge 3 and Power Delivery charging.

It's not much to get excited about, even though it's the first of its kind in a while. The tablet features a lot of the same features as the best cheap tablets on the market, but it also has a faster processor and a better camera.

While the company was drifting between the loss of Windows Phone and its entry into Android, the random launch of the N1 tablets reminded me of that.

Even if the tablet isn't likely to launch outside of its home country, it's good to see a little effort from the manufacturer. I guess I'll have to hold onto my Wing while it's still guaranteed support, even though some of us would like to see new smartphones from LG.
