The story of LG’s new G Pad models is slowly rolling out since late spring. First the tablets themselves were announced all the way back in May, after which June brought us some detailed spec breakdowns. By July, we were starting to hear about availability (at least for some of the family) within the US, and now with August before us, the carriers are beginning to weigh in, with AT&T announcing a special deal to welcome the G Pad 7.0 to its stable of devices.
We already knew the G Pad 7.0 would sell for about $150 in the States, but which was for the WiFi-only version. With AT&T, we’re now talking about the LTE-enabled edition of the tablet, and that understandably bumps the price up a bit. AT&T’s searching for what works out to $300 if you’re investing in the G Pad 7.0 over a monthly installment plan, or you can commit to a two-year service agreement and only pay $150 out of pocket.
What about that deal we mentioned? If you end up balking at those prices a little, you may like this bundle AT&T is pushing with the purchase of a new LG phone. Get a G2, G3, or G Flex on-contract from AT&T, and then the carrier will sell you a G Pad 7.0 to accompany it for almost a buck. You continue to need to sign-on for 2 years of service for that tablet, but it could be preferable for the regular subsidized offer if you were getting to get a brand new phone anyway.
