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
Comfortable to hold
MicroSD slot for extra storage
Powerful processor
Great all around tablet
Slim and well

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

Absolutely. The LG G Pad 8.3 is arguably one of the best Android tablets available to date. It beats the Nexus 7 in most categories, has a beautiful and sleek design with a large 8.3-inch display while still being portable. It sounds good, looks great, an...
Abstract: LG has been presenting excellent mobile devices in the past year, starting with Optimus G, over Nexus 4 and up to the newest LG G2 model that stunned us. The time has come to see what can LG do with tablets, and their firstborn is 8.3-inch LG Pad G. We al...

Quality materials, good looking, full HD display, fast CPU
Display color calibration could be better, LG UI adds value but sometimes slows things a bit

The time I've been spending with G Pad has been a lot of fun, and an overall pleasant experience. With a great build quality and a speedy Android experience, there's very little to dislike about the G Pad. Even if skins aren't your deal, I'm of the opi...

Abstract: When you talk about tablets, it's easy to think of the iPads, Galaxy tablets, and Kindle Fires of the world. But what about LG? Though the company's mobile devices may not be household names, we've seen some top-notch hardware from the South Korean electr...

Comfortable and stylish design, Gorgeous high-res display, Battery life on par with similar Android tablets
Uneven performance, Glut of non-essential LG 'Q' apps, Slightly expensive compared to rival tablets
LG's G Pad is a beautifully designed 8.3-inch tablet with an equally beautiful display. But its uneven performance combined with its relatively steep $350 price make rival Android tablets look like a steal....

but with poor sound, high energy consumption, battery life only passable, dark screen, uneven brightness distribution, modest camera, GPS module sometimes inaccurate, no mobile internet
The LG G Pad 8.3 is powerful and slim, but its display is not bright. Thanks to its quad-core processor with a relatively high clock rate, its performance belongs to the upper class and is even comparable with the Google Nexus 7's. In addition, LG reasona...

Abstract: The LG G Pad 8.3 tablet debuted this fall, with an unusual format, that involves an 8.3 inch screen and this is LG's return after 2 years of absence from the slate market. The product here costs $350 in USA, which is a tad more than the Nexus 7 2013, but ...
The LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition features pure Android with a deeper Google Now integration, and receives the latest updates. It also has a sharp display, expandable memory, and runs a tad faster than its original LG counterpart
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
Android purists will find Google's mid-sized LG G Pad 8.3 more compelling, but it's pricier than the model that's overlaid with LG's skin.
