The volume rocker and power switch are on the right edge. We found these controls to be just about within reach when working onehanded in portrait mode —
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....

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 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...
