LG G Pad 8.3

Think the Nexus 7 is too small, too plasticky? Try this

Decent screen quality ; Plenty of power available ; Metal back feels good

Basic camera ; Software needs some tweaking

Its sound experience is not great, though. The output is a little thin-sounding and at mid-to-high volumes, the back of the tablet vibrates. It feels a little odd.

LG G Pad 8.3 review

The LG G Pad 8.3 tablet is solidly built and has neat features, but is it enough?

Decent ; different design ; Double-tap wakes the screen ; Memory card expandability

Unexceptional display ; No cellular version ; Average camera

LG G Pad 8.3 review

LG's back in the tablet game and the G Pad 8.3 is a strong contender

Strong design ; Great full HD display ; Storage expansion

No 3G/4G option ; Poor camera ; Average battery life

With a metal body, full HD display and decent innards the G Pad 8.3 is strongest rival to the iPad mini 2. While battery life could be better LG's tablet doesn't let the side down.

LG G Pad 8.3 review

LG admits that its first foray into tablet computing wasn't exactly a roaring success. Although there was nothing to hate about the LG Optimus Pad we could only find enough stuff to like to give it three stars. LG then seemingly gave up on tablets but...

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 - but...

LG G Pad 8.3 hands-on: New UI treats explored - Pocket-lint

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.

Google Nexus 7 vs LG G Pad 8.3 vs Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 comparison review

Here are three similarly sized and priced tablets, which are all very different. Choosing a tablet can be difficult so we've compared these three in detail to help you decide which the best one for you is.

Despite being the oldest tablet here, the Nexus 7 remains our top-pick. It's the best all-rounder but the other two contenders are still worth a shout. The G Pad feels the best and has some extra software features which are really handy. Lenovo's Yoga...

LG G Pad 8.3 review

At 8.3in, the G Pad is one of only a few tablets to buck the 10in and 7in trends. Other devices in the niche category include the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 and iPad mini with its 7.9in screen. However, it's close enough to 7in to be...

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...
