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....
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...
