I'm under oil CNET and I'm over at the ephah tech show in Berlin this time I'm taking a look at the LG G pad 8.3 now as the name suggests this is an 8 inch tablet from LG a full HD screen and a quad-core processor the G pad is only eight point three mil thick and weighs just 338 grams so you won't struggle to carry it around with you the weight it does have does make it feel satisfyingly premium something that's definitely helped by the old glass front and this aluminium back panel it's eight inch size does mean that it's not going to easily slide into your jeans pocket though the screen has a full 1920 by 1200 pixel resolution as a pixels had been squashed into quite a small area it means that things look satisfyingly crisp it's bright and very bold too so is at least good enough for watching Netflix movies under the hood is a beefy 1.7 gigahertz quad-core processor with 2 gigabytes of RAM now it should be more than enough juice for any tasks you're likely to throw at it it's running on Android 4.2.2 jelly bean and LG has chucked in its cue pair app that connects you to a smart phone to display phone alerts on the biggest screen LG has said that the G pad 8.3 will be on sale before the end of the year although it hasn't yet said how much it will cost if it's going to be competitive against the new Nexus 7 it's going to have to be quite affordable but we'll find out a lot more near over time make sure to keep it seeing it for all the latest tech news I'm Andrew Hoyle and this is the LG G pad 8.3
