Customer Ratings & Reviews

I looked at Apple iPad Air and Mini with Retina, but decided to buy this LG Pad for two reasons: * I find iPad Air too big to hold, esp with one hand. * Was very tempted to buy the Mini with Retina, but dropped that idea because I own an Android phone and didn't want to remember two ways of doing everything. Coming to pros/cons of the LG Pad.. Pros: * I personally like the 8/8.5" screen size better than smaller 7" tablets or bigger 10" ones * I would have liked the tablet to be slightly lighter than it is, but still it's not bad and holding it for an hour or two doesn't cause any inconvenience. * You can open an app such as notepad in a pop-up window which stays on top of any other app that might be running. That way you can keep let's say a web page visible, look at some info on it and note it down in a notepad. * After a full recharge, battery easily lasts for 7/8 hours. Things that could have been better: * Quality of pics clicked with this tablet is not too great. * Speakers are of average quality. There are some other features which I haven't tried yet but could be useful, such as: "Q Pair" which lets you pair the tablet with any Android smartphone (get call notifications, memo transfer), "Q Remote" - use the tablet as a remote control for your TV. Hope this review helps you in making your decision.

One of the best, if not the best 8-inch android tablet. Very light as well, comfortable to hold with one hand for a very long time, great for presentation. Screen is very bright with fast processor, not the fastest. Micro SD slot adds much more storage (up to 64 Gig) without breaking bank (i.e. what ipad will charge you). Above average sound quality. Battery is above average, will last you around 7 hour of WIFI and video use. Price is more at the higher end, $350, the only downside for me.

The display is brilliant and functions very smoothly. So far I am very happy with this tablet. It is thick enough that I don't feel like I have to be super careful with it but lightweight enough to be portable and easy to use on the go.

Bought this for my wife to replace her iPad - this turned out to be a win. The screen on this is outstanding, really bright, crisp and easy to read. The knock-on feature is cool but the note overlay feature(don't recall the actual name) is useless. It allows you to mark up a screen, save it & email but it's not very well thought out. The Qpair feature works well done and can be useful. *tip... When you first fire this up it says you need to update this app but trying to update from Play store it says "not compatible with your device", turns out you need to update this from the LG update app in your app drawer. The standard keyboard is great but my wife did mention that because the space bar is so small & centrally located she often inadvertently hits "home" when hitting space as the gap is very small. The tablet is fast and handles everything you throw at it. The only slight negative I could fine is the overall battery life. It's not terrible by any means but it would be nice to get a little more time out of it. Overall I think this is an excellent tablet and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I debated between this and the Galaxy Note 8 - although the S Pen is a neat feature on the Galaxy I found that the display(full HD vs 1280x800) and overall feel/usability was cleaner on the LG.

I've never owned another tablet because they were just to complicated. The LG G Pad 8.3 is easy to use and navigate especially with the sliding front screen. The speed at which I can browse the internet is great though having the latest Android version would be better. My only disappointment is I cannot sync my Fit Bit which is one of the primary reasons I bought the tablet. An update to Android 4 Kit Kat is supposed to solve this issue but no update is available at this time. The tablet is the perfect size for viewing and yet completely portable.

I bought both of my parents tablets for early birthday presents. I got my mom a 7 inch tablet because she wanted something small but I knew my dad wanted something bigger but a size that would still be easy to carry around. I did a TON of research on every tablet, brand, etc trying to figure out what to get for him. I arrived at this tablet and I'm so happy I did. It is very fast with the 1.7 ghz quad core processor and 2GB ram, even the most graphic intense games run flawlessly. I was going to get the more expensive Samsung tab pro 8.4 for myself until I played around with this and realized the extra money was just for the .1 inch size. I use it as the remote for my TV and can control my DVR recordings and anything else on my came box with it. It has already upgraded to kitkat so don't worry about it not coming with it. You won't be disappointed with this awesome tablet.

I really like this device. I own an iPad and I love it, but this device doesn't seem to have any limitations like the pad. Great screen resolution, very smooth device, love the expandable memory! They just need to be a bit more competitive like the nexus 7.

I exchanged a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 for this LG G Pad 8.3, and I am so glad that I did. The Galaxy Tab was good, but is more for the casual user. I'm a technology geek and want the best of everything, and this fit the bill in (just about) every way. The screen is absolutely gorgeous and it is lightning fast. Everything runs smoothly, without any hiccups and has some cool features. The only gripe I really have with it is the speaker placement and sound. The speaker is placed on the bottom of the tablet (in portrait mode), so when you watch a video or listen to music, or anything that involves Sound, in landscape mode, the sound comes out of just one side and feels like you're missing a speaker, on the other side. Also, the sound feels kind of "tinny" like your listening through a tin can. It's not completely horrible, but it's not great, by any means. Also, the tablet is a little on the expensive side, but it is, by far, the best 8 inch tablet available, so it is worth the extra cash, if you can afford it.

Nice Screen weight and size Clear picture Easy to use

Having owned 10+ tablets since the 1st gen iPad I definitely rank this one at or near the top. The 8.3 screen size is perfect. I loved my Nexus 7 but always wished the screen was a tad bigger. Combine that with expandable memory and IR blaster and it justifies the increase cost. Only complaint....nu inductive charging capabilities.

Best screen on the market, amazing color saturation. Runs smoothly, but would be better with 3GB RAM. Better than the iPad mini, in my opinion.

I got this instead of a Samsung tablet and very glad I did. I have had Samsung tablets in the past and although they are very good, this LG is excellent in every way. The feel, the weight and screen clarity are the best. Very fast processor as well. No hesitation when you change from app to app. Has a note feature as well, sorry, forget the actual name but works very well. You can write yourself a note of any kind and attach it to an email very easily. Can also attach pics as other tablets do.

Excellent LG tablet exceed my expectations. Very easy tablet for almost anyone to pick up and play with very good battery hardly any bloat. Great tab only features love the knock on feature as it is a life saver love the lg brand and this product is in my opinion the best in tablet size and range it is the sweet spot as many say. Once you try this tablet you will be hooked amazing hd quality netflix play perfectly very good WiFi and Blue-Tooth capabilities. Just buy it and be amazed for yourself

This tablet is unique but amazing with many different features then seen on the 8+ Samsung competitor tablets. What I like so much a bout this tablet is that is has all the comparable features yet its the only LG Tablet at this present moment.. Doesn't feel like your purchase will be out-dated in months

The screen is bright and crisp. It can handle multiple open apps and widgets without any lag from my experience with this tablet. I would definitely recommend this tablet if you like to play games or read ebooks.

LG G2 is an ideal Android tablet. The screen is not too small and not too big. This tablet satisfies all my needs. Its lightweight and compact.

This LG tablet was bought to replace my out of date tablet. I'm impressed with its performance & it's build quality. It fast with no lag & it is a nice alternative to an iPad mini. Is also able to update. Something my old tablet won't do any more.

This is the perfect tablet for someone not engrossed in the apple world. I am an android user and I was able to pick up the tablet and go! I like that the screen goes all the way to the edge, and that I can Q pair the tablet with my phone!

Great tablet for the price. Colors are vibrant and sharp. Ease of use.and battery last a good long time.

Excellent tablet. Substantial upgrade from iPad. Would buy it over the new iPads in a heartbeat.
