LG G Pad 8.3 release date was this month and a new report indicated that the price for the Android-powered tablet is pegged at just $299. According to PC-Tablet.com, LG G Pad 8.3 is going to compete head-to-head with the Google Nexus 7 in both specs and price.

Samsung, Asia’s largest technology company, went back to the lab and remodeled the LG G Pad 8.3 and LG G2 in order to be able to compete hard and heavy in aesthetics and under the hood specs.

The LG G Pad 8.3, according to PC Tablet, can easily outplay Nexus 7’s 1.5 GHz processor with its 1.7 GHz Snapdragon 600 processor. The LG device can also beat it out with its impressive design and specs. One of Nexus 7’s key attractions, its price, is also threatened by the rumored $299 price of the LG tablet.

As per design, Trusted Reviews compares the LG G Pad 8.3 as the gigantic version of the LG G2. The body will pretty much have the same plastic and curved edges but it will still look much better than the Galaxy Tab range. The bezel has been thickened at the top and bottom while the sides have been narrowed down to make the screen conspicuous.

According to Trusted Reviews, consumers will have a chance to get it in an elegant black and white with an aluminum back-panel. The tablet comes in at an impressive 8.3mm thickness that feels good in the hands.

LG G Pad 8.3 will run Android 4.2.2 making sure that LG’s UX interface sets it apart with ease of navigability just like, if not better than most Android Jelly Bean Tablets. The ‘Slide Aside’ multitasking feature will allow users to easily and seamlessly shift between apps by swiping the screen with 3 fingers. Albeit the fact that it takes some getting used to, it is a game-changer reports Trusted Reviews.

Last but not least, LG smacks us with the Q pair. This uses Bluetooth to sync a G2 smartphone with the G pad so that you can transfer or see notes literally immediately when they appear on your tablet or phone.

All this is made possible by the earlier mentioned Quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB Ram and 16GB internal storage on the G-pad 8.3.

The screen is another feature to behold claims Trusted Reviews. Users can enjoy 1920 by 1200 FHD IPS displays that boast a 273 pixels-per-inch. Everything from the Full HD Video to the viewing angles is crème-de-la-crème.
