Micro SD storage exp
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
Comfortable in the hands with not just plastic
But also metal incorporated in the desig
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
The time I've been spending with G Pad has been a lot of fun, and an overall pleasant experience. With a great build quality and a speedy Android experience, there's very little to dislike about the G Pad. Even if skins aren't your deal, I'm of the opi...

Abstract: When you talk about tablets, it's easy to think of the iPads, Galaxy tablets, and Kindle Fires of the world. But what about LG? Though the company's mobile devices may not be household names, we've seen some top-notch hardware from the South Korean electr...

Comfortable and stylish design, Gorgeous high-res display, Battery life on par with similar Android tablets
Uneven performance, Glut of non-essential LG 'Q' apps, Slightly expensive compared to rival tablets
LG's G Pad is a beautifully designed 8.3-inch tablet with an equally beautiful display. But its uneven performance combined with its relatively steep $350 price make rival Android tablets look like a steal....
very high system performance, all tested games ran smoothly, Full HD display with vibrant colors, sturdy build quality, compact case, sensibly enhanced OS, good software included, 24 months warranty, cool surfaces, stereo speakers...
but with poor sound, high energy consumption, battery life only passable, dark screen, uneven brightness distribution, modest camera, GPS module sometimes inaccurate, no mobile internet
The LG G Pad 8.3 is powerful and slim, but its display is not bright. Thanks to its quad-core processor with a relatively high clock rate, its performance belongs to the upper class and is even comparable with the Google Nexus 7's. In addition, LG reasona...

Abstract: The LG G Pad 8.3 tablet debuted this fall, with an unusual format, that involves an 8.3 inch screen and this is LG's return after 2 years of absence from the slate market. The product here costs $350 in USA, which is a tad more than the Nexus 7 2013, but ...
The LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition features pure Android with a deeper Google Now integration, and receives the latest updates. It also has a sharp display, expandable memory, and runs a tad faster than its original LG counterpart
The G Pad doesn't have the same elegant build-quality as Google's Nexus tablets, and this stock model lacks a few useful apps compared to the LG-skinned original
Android purists will find Google's mid-sized LG G Pad 8.3 more compelling, but it's pricier than the model that's overlaid with LG's skin.
Runs stock Android. Slim and well-built. Solid performance. Sharp display.
On the pricey side. Loses some useful LG features
The LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition is a boon for die-hard stock Android fans, but it's missing some of the features that made the original tablet compelling in the first place....
Display is sharp and offers good contrast, Speedy hardware performance, Pleasant and ergonomic size and weight
Poor rearfacing camera, No 3G and 4G connection support, No NFC support
LG's comeback on the tablet market is headed for success. The G Pad 8.3 offers a lot for a comfortable price. The premium feeling the exceptional display provides is praiseworthy, as well as the above-average hardware platform, which guarantees happy cus...
Abstract: There's no need for a full review of the new Google Play Edition of LG's G Pad 8.3 - you're familiar with the software thanks to LG's own Nexus 5 and other AOSP devices, and you can check out Cameron Summerson's review of the retail version of the G Pa...
