Description

LG G Pad 8.3 has the first FHD display on an 8 inch slate. The actual size of the glass is 8.3 inches, carrying a resolution of 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA). A quad-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor is under the hood. Using the QPair app, each call and message that appears on a smartphone will also appear on the tablet and simple replies can be send through the G Pad. With the 8.3 inch screen, the LG G Pad 8.3 offers an updated version of QSlide, which lets you choose between three different apps at the same time thanks to the larger glass. With Slide Aside, using a three finger slide allows you to move an open app off to the side of the screen and open a new one. The KnockON feature allows users to turn the slab on or off by tapping on the screen. The LG G Pad 8.3 features 2GB of RAM, with 16GB of native storage. The back and front facing cameras weigh in at 5MP and 1.2MP respectively and a 4600mAh cell keeps the lights on. Android 4.2.2 is pre-installed and the tablet will be available in black and white, weighing 338g.

This device is also known as LG V500, LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition

Best Tablet I ever Had Tankx LG
Phone owned for more than a year

The tablet is basically am amazing piece of cake with a hell lot of amazing features. It is fairly responsive and fluid UI. Sound it good. Battery life is also fairly ok. The camera really sucks it is not upto the mark and also the DISPLAY is not so bright. Although its FHD still its very DIM.

Probably the best tablet in this price range
Phone owned for less than a year

As a first time tablet user, and also on a budget, the LG G pad was the best possible choice and I must say it duly delivers. It boasts an amazing display which makes the whole user experience light up and made me enjoy every video, image or wallpaper shown. The device is well built and comfortable to hold and use, both important for the day-to-day usage, and quite elegant in appearance. The interface is simple and performs without any trouble on demanding apps and 3D games. Has some nice features like Knock-On wake and LG Beam (which communicates with a LG Smart tv). Multimedia are well performed and it is also great for reading (articles, e-books etc) due to the perfect screen size and display resolution. On the drawbacks side, the only one would be the battery which at high usage barely holds for a day or so, but in a more modest use and with lower brightness is enough for the average user. Overall, this tablet is a great device, very capable and with a wonderful display, an unquestionable recommendation for anyone looking to buy a tablet at this price tag.

Seriously buy it
Phone owned for less than a year

I would say this is the ultimate tablet for home usage. The display is simply stunning. Colours pop, text is easy to read, and the resolution is great. The snapdragon 600 provides plenty of power, running real racing 3 without a trace of stutter. The camera is also great for a tablet, and has some cool effects on video mode. It comes with a lot of useful features, such as Q pair and quick remote, and also miracast. The only problem i have with is it is that there is sometimes a hint of stutter when using the home screen. But, overall, i would strongly recommend this tablet.
