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

Older version of Android

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

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
Runs stock Android. Slim and well-built. Solid performance. Sharp display.
On the pricey side. Loses some useful LG features
The LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition is a boon for die-hard stock Android fans, but it's missing some of the features that made the original tablet compelling in the first place....
Display is sharp and offers good contrast, Speedy hardware performance, Pleasant and ergonomic size and weight
Poor rearfacing camera, No 3G and 4G connection support, No NFC support
LG's comeback on the tablet market is headed for success. The G Pad 8.3 offers a lot for a comfortable price. The premium feeling the exceptional display provides is praiseworthy, as well as the above-average hardware platform, which guarantees happy cus...
Abstract: There's no need for a full review of the new Google Play Edition of LG's G Pad 8.3 - you're familiar with the software thanks to LG's own Nexus 5 and other AOSP devices, and you can check out Cameron Summerson's review of the retail version of the G Pa...
The Apple iPad mini with Retina Display is perhaps the best small tablet money can buy at the moment, and it shows in the $399 basic price. It has an extremely high resolution display, premium design, blazing 64-bit chipset, very long battery life, and...
Abstract: When LG announced the new G Pad 8.3 I was really excited to have another option in the 8-inch category running Android. With a market flooded with cheap 7-inch slates and 10-inch Galaxy Tab 3s the LG G Pad 8.3 was a refreshing change of pace. LG's latest ...
The LG G Pad 8.3 is a very good tablet, and if I had to boil it down, I would say that the amazing display and some of the LG customization (like the remote control) may be sway factors. However, it is priced high enough ($349) to make it a non-obvious sa...
The LG G Pad is a really good tablet; unfortunately, in a world of Nexus 7s, Kindle Fires, and iPad minis, a tablet has to be great to really compete in the mid-sized tablet market. There's a certain something missing from the G Pad, and we can't quite pu...
