Hopefully it will sell better than the company's first attempt

Some may remember that, back in 2011, LG introduced a product called Optimus Pad, running Android.

Simply put, the tablet was a bust, sales-wise. It was too early for people to lunge at slates and it wasn't exactly the best example of a good tablet either.

Now, though, it is proving useful in identifying another potential Android slate.

A leak says that LG is preparing something called V500 / V507L.

It is described simply as an “LG Mobile Device,” but because there was never a smartphone called something involving the letter V followed by 3 numbers, it is assumed this is a tablet.

It doesn't hurt that the Optimus Pad was called LG V900 back in its day.

The dual model numbers suggest that one tablet will have Wi-Fi and the other will get 4G LTE on top of that.

As for the rest of the hardware, the central chip might be a Qualcomm Snapdragon, possibly S4 Pro quad-core.

More information may or may not surface at IFA 2013 in Berlin, Germany, in September.
