Battery

LG G Pad II packs itself with a 7,400 mAh. Although this is much smaller compared with the first version, which is at 8000 mAh as per GSM Arena, it is still expected that the device will run for a day or so.

Other Features

LG G Pad II will reportedly have Kindle and Nook. It will also include the e-reading mode that will tone down the blue-light output, which will let you read for hours with no side effects (like headache).

Another good news is, LG will be giving out free stuffs — Microsoft Office for Android and the use of 100GB OneDrive storage for two years.
