And expandable memory
Good battery life

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

Abstract: LG's G Pad 8.3 is a smart idea for a tablet. We think this is about the right sort of size for a tablet, not as clunky as a 10-or-more-inch model, but a bit more screen real estate than a 7-inch tablet. From our, so far, limited time with the G Pad - a r...

Vibrant, eye-popping screen, Sturdy build that's easy on the eye, especially in white, microSD up to 64GB so great for media hoarders
A little on the heavy side next to the Nexus, We wish LG had dropped a £220 G Pad, Android tablet apps can't compete with the iPad
We love unexpected gadget champs and the G Pad 8.3 sure is one of those. Gorgeous hardware, especially in white, one of the best screens we've come across on a tablet of any size and accomplished day-to-day performance and battery life. Throw in the mic...
Perfect 8-inch screen size, Comfortable to hold, MicroSD slot for extra storage, Powerful processor, Great all around tablet
More expensive than top competitors, Rear speakers are muffled and tinny, Like Samsung, LG clutters Android with too many apps, Seams around screen are too flexible
So, the G Pad 8.3 has weak sound, but other than that it's a very competitive tablet. So it comes down to this: The G Pad has a bigger screen than the Nexus 7, doubles its processing performance, and has a nice MicroSD card slot if you want more than 16...
Abstract: Initial impression? Well it's another 8-inch tablet, a scale the industry seems to be having a renewed love affair with in recent months. I can't fathom why – there's barely a difference between 7-inch and 8-inch displays, or even 8.3-inch for that matter...

Abstract: LG let slip its G Pad 8.3 a while back, marking a return to larger Android devices. So getting our hands on the Android tablet has been a long time coming. It didn't disappoint. The G Pad 8.3, in spite of its large size, doesn't feel any more cumbersome...
