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 Apple iPad mini with Retina Display is perhaps the best small tablet money can buy at the moment, and it shows in the $399 basic price. It has an extremely high resolution display, premium design, blazing 64-bit chipset, very long battery life, and...
Abstract: When LG announced the new G Pad 8.3 I was really excited to have another option in the 8-inch category running Android. With a market flooded with cheap 7-inch slates and 10-inch Galaxy Tab 3s the LG G Pad 8.3 was a refreshing change of pace. LG's latest ...
The LG G Pad 8.3 is a very good tablet, and if I had to boil it down, I would say that the amazing display and some of the LG customization (like the remote control) may be sway factors. However, it is priced high enough ($349) to make it a non-obvious sa...
The LG G Pad is a really good tablet; unfortunately, in a world of Nexus 7s, Kindle Fires, and iPad minis, a tablet has to be great to really compete in the mid-sized tablet market. There's a certain something missing from the G Pad, and we can't quite pu...

Solid
The LG G Pad 8.3 has a lot going for it, including solid hardware and functional software. If I could return my Nexus 7 or sell it for a good price, then I would buy the LG G Pad 8.3 for myself. I am not a fan of the name though. I had a tough time com...
Next to the N7To me, the G Pad is an odd sort of device – it's a great size, looks good, and has decent performance, but yet it's still so hard to give it a full thumbs up. If you buy this tablet, you'll probably like it. If you're on the fence however...
Beautiful design and build quality, Lightweight and durable, Perfect size and footprint, Top-of-the-line display quality, QPair adds a whole new purpose to the Android tablet
The camera is still very much a tablet camera, Some might be turned off by LG's custom UI, which is far from stock Android, Lacks the ability to receive calls like the international model
LG quite simply has one of the best Android tablets available, with a price to match.The G Pad represents not only how far LG has come over the past few years, but also how much Android tablets have grown. Two years ago LG was futzing with 3D cameras and...
