User Reviews 2 I'm interested in this Verizon 4G LTE tablet for its useful extra features like the full USB port, IR blaster to use it as a remote control, and included lightweight stylus.
- CNET
User Reviews 3 I really like the full USB port to connect storage and the IR blaster to use the tablet as a universal remote. The Snapdragon processor and 1.8GB RAM deliver decent but not blazing fast performance compared to rivals.

LG recently announced the G Pad 8.3, a mid-range Android tablet aimed at consumers wanting decent specs and unique extra features at an affordable price.

Rocking Android 5.0 Lollipop, the G Pad 8.3 stands out through its sharp, vibrant 1920 x 1200 8.3” IPS screen allowing easy viewing from wide angles. 

The tablet’s octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor and 2GB RAM deliver smooth casual gaming and multimedia performance. 

It ships with 16GB storage but supports microSD cards up to 128GB.

Photography fans will appreciate the 8MP rear camera capturing 1080p video and 2MP front-facing camera. 

The large 4800mAh battery lasts days of moderate use.

What makes the G Pad 8.3 shine are its handy bonus features lacking in rival tablets. 

It uniquely packs a full-size USB 2.0 port for connecting peripherals like storage drives. 

An IR blaster transforms the tablet into a universal remote control. 

LG also includes a basic stylus for drawing and note-taking in the QuickMemo app.

Additionally, LG developed the QPair app to sync incoming calls and notifications from an Android phone onto the tablet via Bluetooth. 

This frees users from constantly grabbing their phone to check messages.

At 13 ounces, the plastic-bodied tablet feels solid but carries more weight than svelter competitors. 

Still, overall feedback from early hands-on reviews proved positive about the G Pad 8.3’s practical extras and vivid screen. 

Critics felt LG priced it reasonably too.

The LG G Pad 8.3 launches in June 2015 globally. 

Consumers wanting a well-rounded entertainment tablet with useful bonus features at an affordable price can’t go wrong with LG’s latest offering. 

The full-size USB port, IR blaster, stylus support and Android phone syncing all add real value.
