LG V909 G-Slate

Overview

The LG V909 G-Slate sports a great industrial design and can record 3D 720p HD videos with its dual-5 megapixel cameras. All of this is powered by a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 processor that hums along at 1GHz, making sure that even 3D games run smoothly on its high-res touchscreen display. The G-Slate weighs 630g (22.2oz) and measures 242.8mm x 149.4mm x 12.4mm (9.56in x 5.88in x .49in) in size.
