When people talk about LG, they will think of the popular "chocolate" series a few years ago. However, as time goes by, LG is now a force that cannot be ignored in the Android camp. As can be seen from the modern Google mobile phones, the Nexus series mobile phones that Google found LG to contract have a weightless weight in the smart phone market. However, mobile phones are mobile phones and tablets are tablets. These two categories cannot be confused with each other.

LG's launch of tablets is also in line with the trend. After all, the international smartphone manufacturers have more or less launched tablets, and Samsung is the most prominent among them. At this year's IFA exhibition in Germany, LG launched this LG G Pad, which is also a new attempt after two years of silence. Of course, this product did not disappoint everyone. The Snapdragon 600 processor, metal body and fully fitted screen make this 8.3 inch tablet very attractive.
This year's tablets are "small" in size. From last year's Neux 7 to the iPad mini, small tablets have become a hot market, which is also the trend of the situation. The tablet that LG has withdrawn from this year's tablet market is absolutely a sincere product, but what is worth our attention? Please read along with the author's article.
Elegant packaging is no different from mobile phones

LG G Pad has made great efforts on the outer packaging. The white and elegant outer packaging reveals the overall style of this product. At the same time, the style is not very different from that of LG smartphones.
The inside of the package is the product. Because the screen of this tablet uses a fully fitted screen, the screen and the body are very well integrated. It is not easy to see the frame of the body, and the overall shape of the product is somewhat similar to LG mobile phones.
LG G Pad all accessories
There is nothing special about accessories. They are also very simple, and the style is more consistent with that of mobile phones.
Delicate and simple appearance
LG has obviously invested a lot of effort and research and development energy in the G Pad 8.3. As a high-end tablet computer, the G Pad 8.3 has a very slim figure and beautiful shape design. The G Pad 8.3 has an ultra narrow frame similar to G2, and the 338g weight feels good in your hand.
The back of LG Pad 8.3 is composed of aluminum shell, and the overall style looks very similar to that of iPad mini or Galaxy Note 3. As a product launched at the same time as G2, it is surprising that G Pad 8.3 can be so different from LG G2 in style.

There are many functions to make details brilliant
The physical keys around the LG G Pad 8.3 are just right in terms of position and force feedback. At the same time, the G Pad 8.3 also supports microUSB cable charging and data transmission, and supports microSD card slot expansion of storage space.

On the bottom edge, we can see the standard microUSB interface. On the back of the G Pad 8.3, you can see the camera in the upper left corner, while on the right side of the back are two grille speakers arranged vertically. The design of both speakers on the same side of the G Pad 8.3 is very interesting. When the user holds the G Pad 8.3 with his right hand, it will not block any of them. This is also a very good design.
LG's logo and camera appear side by side on the upper part of the display screen. On the left side of the body, LG does not have any buttons, but on the right side, we can see the power button and volume adjustment button. On the top of the G Pad 8.3, you can see the microphone, microSD card slot, and infrared receiver.
The screen display is impeccable
LG G Pad adopts a 8.3 inch full HD IPS touch screen, with a resolution of 1920 × 1200 pixels, a pixel density of 273ppi, close to the retina level, a slightly warm color restoration, a delicate display, and a beautiful look at a glance, The full fit screen adopted by LG G Pad seems to float on the screen, and there is no grainy feeling at close range, which can definitely meet the needs of most people. However, pressing hard will cause water ripples, which is the case for all full fit screens, so don't worry about it.
LG's screen technology is one of the best in the world. The screen of Apple's flagship iPhone 5s is supplied by LG. Of course, its own products dare not cut corners. However, the author still wants to actually test the screen display effect of LG G Pad. The author selects several standard test pictures and takes pictures in the automatic mode under dark light conditions. The pictures produced can basically reflect the actual display effect of the screen.
It can be seen from the sample that the LG G Pad screen has a delicate display effect, clear and discernible details, warm color performance, and no obvious color deviation. It gives people the feeling of being very rich and bright, very comfortable in the visual sense, and still can not feel grainy when close to the screen. This screen is absolutely comparable to the Apple iPad mini 2.
Snapdragon 600 has strong performance
The LG G Pad is equipped with a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 quad core processor (8064T) with a main frequency of up to 1.7GHz. This processor uses 28nm LP processing technology, and is equipped with a new quad core Krait 300 architecture processor and a speed enhanced Adreno 320 graphics processor. It supports LPDDR3 memory and 1080p high-definition video.
LG G Pad has a nearly perfect screen, equipped with Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of running memory, 16GB of storage space, and can support up to 10 touch points. This configuration is only 1999 yuan, which is very cost-effective. The author's actual test shows that LG G Pad scored 21617 points on the performance evaluation software Anthare, which is equivalent to the flagship HTC One level and belongs to the leading level.
Next, the author used the web benchmark software Vellamo and the graphics processing performance test software Basemark X to conduct a comprehensive test of LG G Pad. From the results, we can see that the performance of this tablet is only second to the devices using Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, Tegra 4 and Samsung dual quad core processors, which is more than enough for daily applications and large-scale games.
Full compatibility of large 3D games
As for the performance of LG G Pad, we can see from the benchmark test data that every test has achieved excellent results, and the strong performance is obvious to all. However, for ordinary consumers, the benchmark software test data is very empty, which cannot directly reflect the performance of the processor. The actual operating experience is the most important. Next, follow the essayist to see the performance of LG G Pad in the game.
For LG G Pad, chatting about QQ and playing WeChat are all a piece of cake. Large mobile games and high-definition video playback are the best ways to test its performance. According to the author's actual test, LG G Pad can easily cope with such popular games as Extreme Motorcycle 3, Wild Blood and NBA 2K13, and the picture effect is gorgeous and the sound effect is excellent.
Due to the fragmented development of the Android camp, processor models and system Ui are numerous, so many applications will be incompatible. The LG G Pad does not need to worry about this problem at all. The Snapdragon 600 is a mainstream processor and can be compatible with a large number of applications.
Excellent HD video experience
In terms of high-definition video playback, LG G Pad also performs very well. 720p high-definition video is played smoothly, and 1080p high-definition video is also played perfectly. In addition, sound and picture are synchronized without any feeling of being stuck. In addition, the double speakers with excellent bass effect make the video experience excellent. In addition, LG G Pad also supports 720p high-definition video recording, fully demonstrating the powerful performance of Snapdragon 600.
Finally, let me remind you that LG G Pad's audio processing deliberately magnifies the bass effect, and the resonance between the back shell and the speaker also magnifies the bass effect. Therefore, when watching high-definition video, it feels like a movie theater, but the noise in the video is also magnified accordingly. It is torture to watch low quality audio resources such as selfie videos.
It would be great if the camera function was sufficient
LG G Pad's photographing interface is much different from the original interface, which is more clear and natural. Of course, many photographing functions are added. The setting button can adjust the white balance, sensitivity, exposure value, etc. It also integrates a variety of panoramic, motion, trajectory, beauty and other photographing modes as well as different filter effects to meet the needs of photographing in different situations.
LG G Pad adopts a 5 megapixel main camera and a 2 megapixel front camera. The main camera can take pictures of 2952 × 1944 pixels at most, and supports 1080p video shooting. It basically meets the needs of daily photography. It also has a good photo taking effect under backlight conditions. The following is a sample photo of LG G Pad.
From the photo samples, we can see that the LG G Pad rear camera samples are full of color and bright in hue, especially when taking macro shots, the depth of field effect is very obvious, the details of the scene are captured in place, and the background is also very blurred, which is comparable to the ordinary SLR camera. The blue sky picture taken from the perspective is pure, the color is restored to reality, and the silhouette effect is also good under backlight conditions.
summary
The above is a simple evaluation of this product by the author. Of course, we will conduct a more in-depth evaluation of this product later. LG G Pad is a very good small size tablet, which is absolutely the last sincere work in the current tablet market. However, we cannot simply regard it as a tablet, because there are too many mobile phones on it.
