Verizon announced the immediate availability of two XLTE-ready tablets today, both from LG.

Powered by Android 4.4.4 KitKat, the LG G Pad 7.0 LTE and LG G Pad 10.1 LTE have nearly identical internal hardware. The former features a 7-inch display, naturally, while the latter provides users with a 10.1-inch screen. Interestingly, both have the same 1,280x800-pixel resolution.

Looking under the hood, we find 16GB storage, 1.2GHz quad-core processors, and 1GB RAM. In terms of cameras, the duo house 5-megapixel rear shooters and front-facing 1.3-megapixel selfie-snappers.

As far as batteries are concerned, the G Pad 10.1 LTE boasts an 8,000mAh power supply, twice that of the G Pad 7.0 LTE.

The G Pad 7.0 LTE runs $250 outright; however, for a limited time, customers can pick one up for $50 on a two-year service agreement. The G Pad 10.1 LTE carries a $300 price tag without a contract, which reduces to $200 with a two-year plan.
