The LG G Pad 8.3 has a crisp full-HD display
A fast quad-core processor
And expandable memory
Good battery life
Excellent screen
Competitive price
Strong design
Great full HD display
Storage expansion
Charged by the microUSB standard and not something proprietary
Very versatile overlay to Android
Making it a tablet tweaker's dream
Just like the LG G2 smartphone

The editors didn't like
Lower pixel density than a Nexus 7 makes it feel cheaper
Transition from LG's UI to Android apps is a but jarring
CPU feels like it's struggling to keep up
Sometimes stutters
Android 4.2
With no upgrade in sight (unless you get a Google Play Edition)
At $350
The Wi-Fi variant is steeply priced
And its design lacks a premium feel
LG's software is overwhelming
Poorly positioned speakers
Mediocre cameras
No 3G/4G option
Poor camera
Average battery life
LG's QPair phone linking solution works with any Android phone via the app
But it doesn't do enough
Remote control functionality isn't anywhere near as extensive as what appears on LG smartphones

There's no easy way to say it – the G Pad has been a confusing mess of high points and low. LG has excelled in some areas, and completely missed the mark on others. It's a contradiction that feels like it's been brought in to-budget rather than to-quality...
Abstract: LG doesn't really have a good track record when it comes to building Android tablets. Or it might be more correct to say that it lacks a track record as it has only made one tablet since it adopted Android for its products. But since the tablet has now be...

In many ways, the LG G Pad is exactly what Samsung's 8 inch Galaxy Tab should have been, with a big beautiful screen and feeling like it was engineered to survive the rigours of life with more than just plastic on the back. It's not totally the iPad kille...

Would we recommend the LG G Pad 8.3? Yes. It's a great tablet which offers a wide array of features and a beautiful screen at a price which pips Apple's latest offering. If you're in the market for a smaller sized tablet then the Google Nexus 7 is still ...
Abstract: Most consumer electronics vendors have tried their hand at an Android tablet, many of them unsuccessfully. While LG globally launched the 3D-capable Optimus Pad back in 2011 (with little fanfare), the G Pad 8.3 marks the first time the company has release...

The LG G Pad 8.3 Android tablet offers decent battery life, an excellent display, and reasonable performance for a competitive asking price. However, LG's software can be overwhelming and confusing if you're a first time user...

At $350, the Wi-Fi variant is steeply priced, and its design lacks a premium feel
With its speedy and reliable performance, the LG G Pad 8.3 is a solid small-sized tablet, but for non-Verizon customers, the smoother and less expensive Google Nexus 7 is the better choice....
