With great design comes great horsepower, meaning the G Pad 8.3 horses a 1.7 Ghz Quad Core Krait 300 processor and Adreno 320 GPU on top of Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset. 2gigs of RAM and 16gigs of internal storage along with a micro-sd card slot upto 64gigs takes care of the entertainment hub. In the camera department there's a 5MP camera without Flash and 1.2MP front facer. So 1080p recording with the back camera and 720p with the front. All this runs on the latest Android 4.2.2 (well not as latest as Nexus 7 2013 edition that runs Android 4.3. Check out the Nexus 7 2013 review here. The battery should be quite sufficient being a 4,600mAH. LG has loaded the G Pad with some unique features like QPair etc. Watch the hands-on below and let us know what you think.
