if your Verizon customer and you're interested in picking up a new tablet you're going to want to check out the LG G pad X 8.3 for CNET I'm Xiomara Blanco let's take a closer look what sets this 4G LTE tablet apart are a few functionality features that you won't find on other models namely it packs the full USB port IR blaster and stylus the USB port is located on the top edge in between the IR blaster and headphone jack most tablets have them like your USB port but an additional full sized one is a rather rare site you can connect the flash drive or hard drive to load all your favorite content or you can even connect a mouse or keyboard if you want to the IR blaster also on the top edge can turn your tablet into a remote control using the built-in app you can set it up to control your TV blu-ray player cable box or receiver lastly the stylus which is slightly tuck into the bottom edge is light as a feather and traditionally thin it also feels comfortable and makes navigating the tablet easy the preloaded quick memo app allows you to write or draw and offers a healthy amount of different style options other notable software features on the G pad include Q pair which pairs your phone to your tablet so you only have to use a tablet to respond to calls or text messages and useful dual window capabilities for simple multitasking the LG G pad X 8.3 runs on the latest version of Google's operating system Android lollipop and it houses a qualcomm snapdragon 1.5 gigahertz octa-core processor 2 gigabytes of RAM 16 gigabytes of internal memory and a microSD card slot that's expandable up to 128 gigabytes the 8.3 inch screen is rather average with the 1080 by 1920 pixel resolution display that's sharp and colourful enough but not very bright there's a pair of stereo speakers for enjoying your favorite movies and music but unfortunately they're on the back directing the sound away from your ears the good news is that they're not easy to block when holding in landscape orientation the LG G pad X 8.3 retails for $2.99 but if you're willing to sign up with Verizon for a two-year contract it's only 120 which is a lot more reasonable if you need something basic with a few extra functionality perks I recommend you check it out at your local Verizon store for CNET I'm Xiomara Blanco and this is going to first look at the LG G pad 8.3
