Dim display

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 —

With its speedy and reliable performance, the LG G Pad 8.3 is a solid small-sized tablet, but it can't outpace the smoother, less expensive Google Nexus 7.
LG is on an upward trajectory in the world of consumer electronics and its increasingly popular smartphones are the main driving force behind this growth. But, while smartphones are very important, the Korean manufacturer just couldn't ignore anymore the ...

The LG G Pad 8.3 is a very cool tablet. Without a doubt, its main differentiating factor is the premium design, which is unrivaled by any other Android tablet so far. With its slim profile and high-quality materials involved in its construction, the G ...
I tried this model at IFA in Berlin, where LG is not showing off the final version of the tablet, but a version with unfinished software -- although I did not encounter any flaws on the software while testing the prototype. Build and Design What is more i...

There's no easy way to say it – the G Pad has been a confusing mess of high points and low. LG has excelled in some areas, and completely missed the mark on others. It's a contradiction that feels like it's been brought in to-budget rather than to-quality...
Abstract: LG doesn't really have a good track record when it comes to building Android tablets. Or it might be more correct to say that it lacks a track record as it has only made one tablet since it adopted Android for its products. But since the tablet has now be...
