Just a few weeks ago, LG released the LG G Pad 8.3 to consumers. While the company has struggled in the past few years to deliver a high-quality tablet to the market, it's made another go with the G Pad. But has it finally created a device worthy of owning? Read on to find out.

The G Pad sports a amalgam body that combines metal and plastic to create a smoothed-over feel. The backing is made of brushed metal, which gives the device a very premium feel. The device as a whole has the same body design as the LG G2, which is a very good thing, considering how most of the major hardware makers, including Apple and Samsung, already ship devices with uniform designs.

One of the highlights of the G Pad is its more than impressive screen quality. It supports a 1920 x 1200 display, which beats even the 1080p full HD displays shipped on most tablets. This allows the tablet to show a wide range of color and depth on the display, and it looks pretty unbelievable.

In terms of software, the G Pad runs the same LG UI as the G2, which again, is a very good thing, since most other companies ship uniform software designs out with their devices. LG's UI has a lot of helpful features pre-installed; for one, it has an infrared remote, which can be used to control almost any television in the world. It's good that LG kept this feature on its tablet as well, since there's more real estate on the tablet to have more functions on-screen for the remote, as well as for multitasking purposes.

Another handy feature of LG's interface is QPair, which allows use to pair up your G Pad with any Android smartphone, and allows you to sync all your texts, phone calls, and photos from the phone to the G Pad. I've been pining for a feature like this included in tablets for a while, so it's great that LG has stepped up to the plate in this area.

One not so favorable aspect of the G Pad is its camera. It supports a 5-megapixel rear camera, with a 1.3-megapixel front-facing lens. While pictures taken with the device don't look awful, they certainly don't live up to the standards of most smartphone cameras; pictures often look blurry, out of focus, and off-color, and while these issues can be somewhat remedied with photo editing software, you should probably stick with using your phone's camera if you're considering getting the G Pad (not that other tablets offer much better in terms of camera quality).

In the end, I'm really impressed with LG's latest offering in the tablet market. Featuring a stunning display, a high-quality casing, and a host of useful features with its UI, the G Pad 8.3 is a great device to look into buying, especially if you're looking for something with the portability of a smaller tablet, like the Nexus 7, but also the larger surface area that comes with larger tablets.
