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Outdated Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS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 back of the G Pad 8.3 carries a pair of stereo speakers and the main 5megapixel camera. Image LG
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 —
Outstanding screen, Highly responsive, Good for onehand handling, Video player reads almost any file format, Over 10 hours' battery life, Doubletap to wake up/put screen to sleep
Small lags when quitting particularly big apps and returning to home screen, Front camera is very mediocre for video chats, LG's UX interface may not be to the liking of Android purists
The G Pad 8.3 marks a triumphant return to the tablet scene for LG. It's responsive, has more-than-satisfactory battery life and lots of handy features. The competition is tough, but—all things Apple aside—this slate is better than most of its Android aco...
Slim and well, built, Solid performance, Good multitasking interface
On the pricey side, Lousy front camera
The LG G Pad 8.3 is a slim and handsome tablet, but it's outflanked by three other competing slates. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 delivers everything you find here plus pressure-sensitive pen support, which actually makes a big difference – and priced at ...

Abstract: LG's G Pad 8.3 is a smart idea for a tablet. We think this is about the right sort of size for a tablet, not as clunky as a 10-or-more-inch model, but a bit more screen real estate than a 7-inch tablet. From our, so far, limited time with the G Pad - a r...

Vibrant, eye-popping screen, Sturdy build that's easy on the eye, especially in white, microSD up to 64GB so great for media hoarders
A little on the heavy side next to the Nexus, We wish LG had dropped a £220 G Pad, Android tablet apps can't compete with the iPad
We love unexpected gadget champs and the G Pad 8.3 sure is one of those. Gorgeous hardware, especially in white, one of the best screens we've come across on a tablet of any size and accomplished day-to-day performance and battery life. Throw in the mic...
Perfect 8-inch screen size, Comfortable to hold, MicroSD slot for extra storage, Powerful processor, Great all around tablet
More expensive than top competitors, Rear speakers are muffled and tinny, Like Samsung, LG clutters Android with too many apps, Seams around screen are too flexible
So, the G Pad 8.3 has weak sound, but other than that it's a very competitive tablet. So it comes down to this: The G Pad has a bigger screen than the Nexus 7, doubles its processing performance, and has a nice MicroSD card slot if you want more than 16...
Abstract: Initial impression? Well it's another 8-inch tablet, a scale the industry seems to be having a renewed love affair with in recent months. I can't fathom why – there's barely a difference between 7-inch and 8-inch displays, or even 8.3-inch for that matter...

The LG G Pad is a compelling tablet, it’s slightly larger than other mini-tablets which means it offers more screen real estate, and it’s ultra thin bezel ensures you can hold it in your hand still...
Decent screen quality, Plenty of power available, Metal back feels good
Basic camera, Software needs some tweaking
Its software may not be perfect, but a good price, sound specs and attractive hardware make the LG G Pad 8.3 one of the best-value tablets of the moment.Next, read our best tablets round-up...

Abstract: LG let slip its G Pad 8.3 a while back, marking a return to larger Android devices. So getting our hands on the Android tablet has been a long time coming. It didn't disappoint. The G Pad 8.3, in spite of its large size, doesn't feel any more cumbersome...
Abstract: LG has returned to the tablet market with the G Pad 8.3, which at first glance looks to be a fairly impressive device. Build quality is among the best we have seen in an Android tablet, with the G ...
