What customers don't like about Lg G Pad 8 3 WiFi (2GB + 16GB)

  • Underwhelming camera quality, specifically noted for lacking a flash and poor low-light performance
  • Screen brightness is relatively dim, making it difficult to use in direct outdoor sunlight
  • Occasional performance stutters and lag, often attributed to the heavy LG software overlay

Verdict

The LG G Pad 8.3 WiFi (V500) is a sleek mini-tablet featuring a high-resolution 8.3-inch IPS display (1920 x 1200) with a pixel density of 273 ppi, housed in a premium-feeling brushed aluminium and plastic chassis. It is powered by a 1.7 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot. Key characteristics include its narrow-bezel design for one-handed grip, a 4,600 mAh battery, an IR blaster for remote control functionality, and a 5MP rear camera. Main pros include its vibrant, sharp screen, solid build quality, and smooth multitasking performance aided by features like QSlide and KnockOn. However, cons include a camera that lacks a flash and struggles in low light, the presence of non-removable pre-loaded software, and occasional screen calibration issues noted by some users.
