Average camera
A bit laggy at times
Dim display
Below-average battery life
Sometimes laggy. Buggy touch screen. Battery life could be better
At $350
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"
HDMI-out

In many ways, the LG G Pad is exactly what Samsung's 8 inch Galaxy Tab should have been, with a big beautiful screen and feeling like it was engineered to survive the rigours of life with more than just plastic on the back. It's not totally the iPad kille...

Strong design, Great full HD display, Storage expansion
No 3G/4G option, Poor camera, Average battery life
Would we recommend the LG G Pad 8.3? Yes. It's a great tablet which offers a wide array of features and a beautiful screen at a price which pips Apple's latest offering. If you're in the market for a smaller sized tablet then the Google Nexus 7 is still ...
Abstract: Most consumer electronics vendors have tried their hand at an Android tablet, many of them unsuccessfully. While LG globally launched the 3D-capable Optimus Pad back in 2011 (with little fanfare), the G Pad 8.3 marks the first time the company has release...

With its speedy and reliable performance, the LG G Pad 8.3 is a solid small-sized tablet, but for non-Verizon customers, the smoother and less expensive Google Nexus 7 is the better choice....

It's a mixture of rounded plastic and brushed metal, and qualifies as one of the most alluring Android slates we've yet seen. It's also incredibly thin and light, which are ideal qualities for this kind of device.The full HD IPS LCD screen meanwhile is incredible,
The LG G-Pad 8.3 doesn't do much wrong, but it would have been nice to have had a more powerful chipset beating at its heart. The Snapdragon 600 included here is capable, but the 800 is now doing the rounds and would have future-proofed the slate for longer. There are moments when the tablet struggles to keep up with your inputs, usually when other background tasks are taking place. On the whole,
It's truly remarkable how far the Android tablet sector has come in recent months, and the LG G-Pad 8.3 is arguably one of the best small-screen slates we've seen so far. The larger screen, better design and expandable memory all help it put the Google...
