Guys tingin niyo I should go for this vs the new nexus 7?

LG pad is overall the best value for money mini tablet against sa nexus. Problem ko lang talaga naglalag daw and masama reputation ni lg for updating their devices to the latest flagship. This or nexus?

The ASUS N7 is plagued with quality control issues.
Kung Php16,990 online ang SRP niyan siguradong significantly lesser pa yan sa mga online stores (My guesstimate is around Php 14-15k)

G-Pad for the BETTER build and wider aspect ratio (perfect for pDfs and e-books)

Tsaka expandable na yung storage niya.

Can you use whatsapp with this? I thought whatsapp only works with tablets with phone capability?

“The LG G Pad 8.3 doesn’t have phone functionality, which is normal for a tablet, but since there are some rare instances that do have such functionality, we wanted to get this out of the way. Naturally, you can’t make phone calls or send texts, but you can still utilize all the internet-based means of communication such as Skype, WhatsApp and so on.”
