Conclusion
Overall the LG G Pad 8.3 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 8.3 is somewhere inbetween a high-end tablet and a low-end tablet. This story already starts with the materials used. Although the back has been made largely from aluminum, there is still basically a chassis made from plastic. The story then goes on with the display. There is a great IPS panel with 1920 x 1200 resolution but the brightness just doesn’t cut it. Then there is the next point which concerns the different models available. From today’s tablets, which are priced at 250 Euro and upwards we expect models with 3G/4G module onboard. Hooking the tablet up to a phone can be quite annoying since tethering still is a batter killer.
Bottom line we can say, we do like the looks of this tablet and we also like the user Interface as well as the fact that there is a decent display. But honestly if we were to spend CHF 300.- (est EUR 250.-) on a tablet we would much rather consider an iPad or if it really had to be an Android device, we would have a closer look at the new Nexus 7.
