Average camera
A bit laggy at times
Dim display
Below-average battery life
Sometimes laggy. Buggy touch screen. Battery life could be better

The Wi-Fi variant is steeply priced
And its design lacks a premium feel
Subpar battery life
Crowded custom Android interface
On the pricey side. Loses some useful LG features
Display color calibration could be better
LG UI adds value but sometimes slows things a bit
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
Poor rearfacing camera
No 3G and 4G connection support
No NFC support
Occasionally sluggish
Backlight issues
Heavy software "features"

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...

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...

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...
