Verdict

The LG G Pad II 8.3 LTE is a portable Android tablet featuring an 8.3-inch IPS LCD display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200 and a 16:10 aspect ratio. Under the hood, it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor (1.5GHz + 1.0GHz) paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is notably expandable via a microSD slot supporting up to 2TB. Main characteristics include 4G LTE connectivity, a built-in slim stylus for precise input, and a 4,800mAh battery. Key pros include its high-resolution screen, integrated stylus storage, and a full-size USB 2.0 port for easy peripheral connection; however, cons include its relatively modest 16GB of onboard storage and the lack of a camera flash for its 8MP rear and 2MP front sensors.
