Second hands on with T-Mobile’s LG G-Slate [video]

CTIA

We hit every booth on the show floor yesterday for a first go at every new phone and tablet we could find. Today, we made the rounds again, like the mad men we are, to shoot some video of the newest phones and tablets. Now, we present you with video of the LG G-Slate, which is headed to T-Mobile soon with a $529.99 price tag. The G-Slate has a real premium feel to it thanks to the metal back side, and its display was large and bright even under the lights here. While it’s not as sexy as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 that was just announced at CTIA and measures just 8.6mm thin, it’s going to hit the U.S. market first, making it that much more attractive. There are a lot of compelling features too, like its dual 5-megapixel cameras for shooting HD and 3D video — but it’s a bit of a letdown the G-Slate doesn’t have a 3D display for viewing that content first-hand. Enough of the nitty gritty, you can read our hands-on text from yesterday for more details and thoughts. Hit the jump for our video and definitely check out our gallery, too.

      I agree, the people to beat in the pricing dept are Samsung

        I think Toshiba is going to have a sub-$500 offering too. I hope I’m right, the more the better.

        the samsung tab10.1 is the same price for the 32gb as the xoom. they just offer a lower memory but it is basically the same I am getting a xoom.

    I love both the G-Slate and the Samsung Tab 8.9″, they’re attractive and the size is just PERFECTION.

    I have zero interest in a 3D camera/screen on all these Android devices (phones/tablets). Is it really necessary?
