Verdict

The LG G Pad X 8.3 LTE is a portable Android tablet featuring an 8.3-inch Full HD IPS display (1920 x 1200 resolution) and a unique built-in full-size USB port for expanded productivity. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor (1.5GHz) paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded via a microSD slot. Its main strengths include its sharp display, premium-feeling metal-inlay design, and LTE connectivity for on-the-go use; however, it suffers from occasional performance sluggishness in demanding games, mediocre battery life during LTE streaming, and lacklustre speaker quality.
