Superb battery life
Speedy performance
Great design
Fantastic screen
Good battery life
Although the 8.3-inch screen makes the G-Pad larger than the Nexus 7
The gorgeous design more than makes up for the increase in size. 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
Perfect 8-inch screen size

The editors didn't like
Questionable availability
Childish overlay
Unimpressive camera
No 3G or 4G connectivity
Older version of Android
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
Processor could be better
Music lacks energy
Autofocus is poor
Garish user interface
Expensive
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
Average battery life
Some features are basic or lacking
Has to compete against the cheaper Nexus 7
Camera quality
Size won't suit all
Not running the latest version of Android
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...
Great design, fantastic screen, good battery life, expandable storage
Not running the latest version of Android, processor could be better
If you're in the market for a small-scale tablet device and the Nexus 7 hasn't taken your fancy, then the G-Pad 8.3 is definitely a solid choice. The design is appealing, the screen is pin-sharp and there's enough power under the bonnet to keep most use...

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...

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...
