Which is far from stock Android

Outdated Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS
Screen brightness is lacking
Uneven performance at times

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

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 —
Abstract: The Nexus 7 (2013), LG G Pad and Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 are all small and cheap tablets, but which one should you buy? Find out in our Google Nexus 7 vs LG G Pad 8.3 vs Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 comparison review. Here are three similarly sized and priced table...
The G Pad 8.3 is undoubtedly LG's best tablet to date and at £199 it's a bit of a steal. A nice selection of hardware and software make this a great choice for a small tablet. However, occasionally laggy performance means the Nexus 7 might be a better cho...
Although the Nexus 7 is cheaper, the G Pad 8.3 has a substantially larger display, a faster processor and a microSD card slot for adding extra storage. Right now there's no better 8in Android tablet available, and arguably no better small Android tablet o...

Terrific screen, powerful processor, sturdy build, expandable memory, good battery life
Not the cheapest, no network connectivity
At around £250 it's certainly not expensive, but then again, it's a good £50 more expensive than the Nexus 7, which is still a tough act to follow. Still, for the extra you get a slightly more powerful processor, a bigger screen and classier bodywork, p...

Great, vivid HD screen, Premium design, Expandable storage, Crisp, detailed video performance
Processor could be better, Music lacks energy, Autofocus is poor, Garish user interface, Expensive
There really is a lot to like about the LG G Pad, with its great screen, expandable memory and impressive design and build showing many of its 8in rivals how it's done.However, some of its internal specs are a little long in the tooth for launching this l...
the LG G Pad 83 is definitely a decent tablet, but we somehow get the impression that LG didn't know what they actually wanted to achieve with this device The G Pad 83 is somewhere inbetween a highend tablet and a lowend tablet This story already starts...

Construction is great quality, lovely screen shows plenty of detail, superb battery life, speedy performance
Has to compete against the cheaper Nexus 7, camera quality, size won't suit all
The LG G Pad represents a strong return to the tablet market for LG. We hope the firm carries on making devices of this calibre - it feels premium thanks to top build quality and has enough strong features to make it well worthy of consideration - b...
Bright, vibrant screen; Plenty of apps and cool tools; Multitasker
Average battery life; Some features are basic or lacking
LG’s G Pad 8.3 may not be the most powerful or desirable Android tablet out there, but LG’s fantastic multi-tasking features means it’s great for getting several things done at once, while the bright and colourful screen is a fine way to enjoy media and m...

Slim, metal design, Bright and bold screen, Plenty of power
Unimpressive camera, No 3G or 4G connectivity, Older version of Android
The LG G Pad 8.3 has a good screen and a spritely processor and wraps it up in an attractive metal body. For £250, it's a good choice if you're already an Android user or simply don't want to splash the extra cash on the iPad mini....
