Lji tablet v500 8.3. Bluetooth is a standard for secure drone-free data transfer between different devices of different types on small distances

The market for Android products is increasingly filled with new gadgets. It’s not every day to announce here new tablet And they promise that they will create a revolution in the world of electronic mail. True, if you get to the sale on the right, then a large part of the devices are subject to increased price tags, and technical characteristics far from the cob crops. What can’t be said about our today’s hero LG G pad 8.3 V500. Well, that's right - the Korean manufacturer has released its first tablet, and judging by its characteristics, we can say that LG intends to loudly declare itself as a manufacturer of tablets.

The gadget looks dull, the front panel is not decorated with fancy elements, it has been worn out front camera and the logo of the transmitter, on the bottom there is a microUSB connector and a microphone opening, the volume adjustment and unlocking buttons are located on the right side, and there is an infrared sensor. There is also a headphone jack and a slot for memory cards, which is hidden under a plastic plug. I would like to especially respect the product on the back panel, it is made of aluminum, so that it is even received on the dock. In general, we can say that the collection gadget is clear and monolithic, and the thin frames on the sides of the screen further enhance the premium design of the device.

The display diagonal is 8.3 inches, in my opinion, the most optimal size for a tablet, separate settings should be set to 1920x1200 pixels. The display screen uses IPS technology to display it more high rhubarb. In this gadget there is an excellent transmission of color, a wide range of views and middle rhubarb brightness, which is compensated by good anti-Violent authorities cured warehouse Gorilla Glass with oliophobic coatings.

This tablet can also boast excellent productivity, even when equipped with modern and pressing the processor Snapdragon 600 has four cores and an operating frequency of 1.7 GHz. obsessed RAM set to 2 Gb, internal storage to 16 Gb. Looking ahead, I would like to point out that this model has top-end characteristics, so productivity is top of mind in order to deal with any tasks, be it the creation of streaming Full HD video or the launch of the most powerful games.

A five-megapixel camera with autofocus will help you take good photos, you can also record video in 1080p format, the 1.3 Mpx front camera is perfectly suitable for video recording, and it’s also possible Take live photos. This gadget will definitely please Selfie lovers.

Given the lack of autonomy, the high-resolution screen and productive processor, a battery with a capacity of 4600 mAg, shows modest results, watching videos in Full HD for about 4-5 years.

Our friend is working in the operating room Android system 4.2.2 with Optimus UI shell. I’m also pleased with the proprietary software from LG, QPair for synchronizing the tablet with your Android smartphone, Quick Memo for quick notes, Quick Remote for using other LG technology, unlocked with a sliding tap, an even handy feature among others, and very nice Please use dual-window mode.

To say that the Viyshov tablet is good is to say nothing. A top-end gadget with a top-end display and productive filling will delight anyone, and even more hostile is the price of the device, and even LG is the number one device at the same price/capacity. So we can safely say that this model can definitely create fierce competition in the tablet market, as we know - the more competition there is in the market, the better for the buyer!

*****************************************Vitayu, dear friends***** * ***********************

I would like to know about the LG G Pad 8.3 tablet. I don't know much about Lg tablets. So what am I saying, I didn’t feel it, but when I chose the tablet itself, I literally marveled at me and I thought:

“So it will be mine.”

I’m stunned for a moment, thinking that it’s a smartphone, well, that’s why I didn’t think about LG brand tablets, but there’s still no tablet showing up.

The name of the tablet contains numbers 8.3 that indicate the diagonal of the screen. As you can mark the trifles non-standardly, but according to the appearance of the wines, they do not cut much for 7-inch devices.

The equipment is already simple, there is nothing special about it. The box contains: instructions, USB cable, charger And more and more there was nothing. (I wish they had put in the headphones).


I added it for 13,000 rubles. I have a lot of skin, so to speak, in my own way, but my look says “Normal.”

What doesn’t suit me is that it’s 3G, so you’ll be victorious without this card.

I have no complaints about the size of the screen, the screen is even brighter and juicier. Brightness can be adjusted as simply as you need. And auto brightness.


Please note this model is 330 grams. I can’t really say that it’s too rich or too little.

Charging is not bad in the “Don’t scratch anything” mode, let it sit for 1.5 minutes without charging. And if you wonder if it’s possible to watch a video via YouTube, or understand it via Wi-Fi, then it’s up to 5 minutes.

***********************************************************************************************************************

Characteristics of the climb, so to speak. Let me begin by saying that I have no particular complaints about them.

Installation processor 4 cores;

RAM memory is 2 gigabytes. Play and walk smoothly, without any problems. In principle, this is the case with 2 gigabyte RAM.

The memory of the tablet is 16 gigabytes and is particularly exhausting. And for those who don’t have enough, buy memory cards. The tablet supports up to 64 gigabytes.

Even before the reception functions of the tablet, I would have introduced a navigator that works perfectly, the accuracy is excellent.


I'm just not happy with the design of the tablet. I would give 6 points if possible.

Є front camera for video calls, light sensor.

I can tell by the sound. Wow! If you marvel at the film in all its loudness, you will feel it in your own apartment.. And if you marvel at the film and then forget to reduce the loudness, you can then rage at the harsh sound. I felt the worst feeling from tablets.

Before long, I will admit that the wine is very smeared, and you will lose the markings that are not so easy to wipe off. So I would have realized that the camera is only frontal, I would rather have the camera on the side of the lid.


The tablet menu is beautiful, there’s nothing fancy on the platform, well, because you obviously won’t be able to download any non-senior stuff there.


booms when long work The tablet begins to freeze and the battery gets warm, so you need to give it periodic use.

LG is one of the largest display manufacturers, and the original diagonal of the G Pad 8.3 is entirely understandable. The situation is similar to the launch of the G2 model, which launched a “marketing campaign” with a 5.2-inch display with standard dimensions. It’s nice that the separate display structure is slightly larger, lower than the 1080p standard, and has the same surface area as the OS system keys. Definitely reduce pixel density at 273 ppi, sharpness and contrast. Multitouch supports 10 one-hour ticks. The oleophobic coating of the display prevents spontaneous reflections of the display and reduces the stickiness of rough fingers.

And the axis of brightness will not be touched regularly. This is not so noticeable on the gloomy days of deep autumn, but otherwise the fall reading of the image in sleepy weather will be inevitable. Collor had to cope with some minor difficulties, but the most important thing was to please the most powerful buyers. However, Google Nexus 7, Apple iPad mini with Retina and its counterpart in the special model G2 demonstrates higher image brightness, unfortunately.

In general, the screen display does not click. Behind the big screen, the real competitors for image quality in the Eight-inch category are the iPad mini with retina and a couple of three Chinese tablets, Seen into the distance the phase of the Month.

Hardware platform and battery

LG G Pad 8.3 is based on the Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 chipset, or simply Snapdragon 600. This SoC debuted in the past, when competition in the market was represented by gadgets based on the gaming NVIDIA Tegra 3 and the Samsung Exynos 4412 core, presented wow in Galaxy S3 . In fact, a little more has passed since the debut of the Snapdragon 600, and “morally” this processor has already become outdated.

But let’s not succumb to the marketing bluster - at the time of the APQ8064’s debut, it was record-breakingly productive decisions on the market. At that time, chips using the 28 nm process technology began to dominate the market. The architecture, if hardware support is available, allows you to work with Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, LTE, cameras with separate sections up to 20 megapixels and displays up to 2048x1536. The new Adreno 320 graphics exceeds the graphics potential of NVIDIA Tegra 3 by 2 times, and graphics processors MediaTek is even more hostile. In terms of productivity, the G Pad 8.3 is almost as good as the previous version. Sony Xperia Tablet Z and Samsung Nexus 10 tablets, as well as Oppo Find 5, Samsung Galaxy S4 based on Exynos 5 Octa and Sony Xperia Z phones. Looking at what Full HD has allowed, regardless of the display diagonal, the results of the LG tablet can generally be called good.

Of course, the tablet does not experience any problems with 3D games or high-quality video - everything that is available on flagship smartphones and tablets in 2013 will be available on this device. 2 GB of RAM is available for instant mixing between loaded Javascript sites and a paused movie in 1080p. Whether it's Modern Combat 4, Real Racing 2 or FIFA 14 - in any modern games you enjoy maximum craziness and incredible detail. Snapdragon 800 has not yet removed exclusive software or significant important tasks, which means there is a difference between two flagships different generations Warto in formal splendor of jealousy.

In the extreme mode, the tablet becomes warm in the area of ​​​​the thermal chamber and ... LG firmware unceremoniously reduces the brightness of the display to 85% along with the processor frequency, not allowing it to move “through high temperature" It’s a strange behavior - we haven’t seen such reinsurance on any other gadget. It is unlikely that the processor effectively “chokes” under pressure. Of course, few of the cross-border residents will come across the harshness of the system - but all the same is unacceptable.

Most companies have already presented their variations on the theme of tablet computers. You can sell not only Apple products, but also ASUS, Lenovo, Samsung and many others. LG will not require any introduction; the company will spend the rest of the time stepping on the market for top-end smartphones.

We have already written about the LG G2, LG Optimus G Pro and LG G Flex. LG smartphones have always brought surprises in terms of the appearance of the curved body, the buttons on the back panel, or, at a minimum, they have been useful in the details. It didn't happen without a few shortcomings. What is watching us now, if there is no larger device in line “G”? LG decided that it was not ready to stand out from its competitors, and presented its tablet LG G Pad 8.3 (LG-V500) at the last IFA exhibition.

Of course, this is not the first attempt of the Korean company to take its place among other manufacturers. For example, the LG Optimus Pad and the tablet-like LG Optimus Vu. A great success and excitement among buyers for LG products in this segment mobile devices don't know. The first axis in front of us is not the devil’s “tablet”, but the world’s first 8.3-inch tablet, equipped with a separate display of 1920 x 1200 pixels.

High settings on the screen may require the same hardware pressure. Everything is fine with the LG G Pad 8.3: four Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 600, 2 GB of RAM and decent graphics. If the device was released by LG, then we will be pleased not only with a good design, high production capacity, but also with a non-standard and rich interface, rich in all kinds of services.

True, LG can attract the left part of potential buyers if they find out that the tablet has a 3G or LTE version. At least for now in Russia there is no longer a Wi-Fi option. Most often, the steel module can be important, and even otherwise, the use of bark in many situations can turn into an unnecessary slug. Some other countries have already introduced options with a SIM card, so such a device is still possible in case of need (Internet for help).

The tablet will have announcements and top sales at the next hour. Having increased the white light, you will immediately see the Apple iPad mini with Retina display, ASUS Nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, all of which have their own strengths. Well, our task is to find out what the worm’s “Pad” is good for, now from Vikonanna LG.

Our readers fondly remember the attempt of the LG company just a few years ago to enter the market of Android tablets with the LG Optimus Pad model, which resulted in a press release about the fact that the company is leaving this market. We also remember that the 3D camera and the price of 1500 dollars did not help the device become popular and go on sale en masse, regardless of those who care about the editors gg The tablet itself received hostility. Since LG’s “entry” from the tablet market, the market itself has grown significantly, and it has become even more difficult for the new player to gain the respect of the public. Ale and in LG there are no children sitting. On the other (or the third, even modifications of the Optimus Pad with LTE) of its G Pad 8.3 tablet, the company decided not to repeat the mistakes, avoided dubious technologies, and rather “packed” the model conscientiously. FullHD display, metal body, top-end processor, Android 4.2, all the company’s other efforts in the interface area, which all stand out. The company decided to set prices in the same way as it launched its flagship smartphone LG G2, so it priced it at a low price, which is hard to believe - close to 3,000 UAH at the start of sales. Thus, right in front of the happy public, the LG G Pad 8.3, with its simple design, transformed into one of the most attractive Android tablets today with the highest productivity before. For the quiet ones, Nexus 7 is fortunately not enough, but Sony Xperia Tablet Z is rich and expensive.

Technical characteristics

It has already become the custom that in the great and unfriendly family of Android devices, the title of first in this device is spent. So, recently the top processor in tablets is the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro, which is equipped with the Nexus 7 (2013) and the Sony Xperia Tablet Z. And LG has upgraded them with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 600. Therefore, the audience that is important to get the most sophisticated tablet ohm ( And for whatever subjective reasons, it’s not the iPad that’s to blame), it may be a new favorite. If you don’t protect yourself from the tech-savvy population, then you need to know that the current productive LG G Pad processor, along with 2 GB of RAM, will provide the tablet with enough productivity to serve the needs of its luxurious FullHD display, Thanks, I’ll watch the video again In particular, because of the importance of memory, the device is equipped with a large number of add-ons. And since you are not a technomaniac, you are unlikely to need to update your device sooner than later current version. The screen diagonal of 8.3 inches still has no analogues on the market, and the alignment of the sides with such a diagonal is optimal for watching movies. Nowadays, most devices on the market are equipped with 4:3 aspect ratio displays, like the iPad. The culprits are 7 and 10.1-inch models (for example, the Nexus family of tablets, a number Samsung models and Asus). We’ll talk about how handy the proportions are, as determined by LG for a device with an 8-inch diagonal.

Equipment

LG, starting with the Optimus G smartphone model, decided to equip its devices with the bare minimum - a charger and documents. The LG G Pad continues the tradition.

frame

The metal case of the iPad has prevented many people from sleeping properly. for example, by Asus The portfolio includes tablets with reliable metal armor. A number of Chinese factories with their iPad-like monsters. Axis and LG, as it turned out, also coveted metal glory. The LG G Pad is housed in a thin body coated with polished aluminum that is both eye- and hand-friendly. As it turned out, this can be covered even better if you carry the tablet in your bag without a cover. Luckily, the rags will be practically invisible.

And the axle, which is noticeably even better, means that the fingers are broken. Therefore, before you buy a tablet, you will definitely need to buy either a cover or a gancher for wiping the saw for sure. The thing with rags and finger marks on the LG G Pad looks even more attractive and expensive.

About form factors. In my opinion, the most suitable aspect ratio for a tablet is 4:3 - which is exactly what Apple originally intended. It’s so much easier to view web pages both on the large 9.7-inch device and on the mini version. And since there may still be options with a 10-inch diagonal, since there are a lot of adjustments for a larger device, then in the segment of small tablets the 8-inch option is definitely better. More than once I noticed that the upper part of the LG G Pad screen (since the tablet is held vertically) does not have full view. And I seriously care about that. So, movies are easier to watch than a clone of the iPad. However, I spend most of the time on my tablet surfing the web (or playing games). Of course, different people have their own scenarios, so there is no good reason not to buy the insignificant form factor of the tablet. Ale yakbi G Pad has been made more “square”, and thus only won.

Ax is so old

The borders around the screen are thin. The front panel contains only the logo, the camera head and the light sensor.

touch keys Android management- as I like, in the center.

For stereo speakers, there was not the best place, but, unfortunately, even more traditional for tablets - on the back side of the case.

The camera is in the upper left corner of the rear part of the body. During the hour of shooting in the frame, you need to rub your fingers every hour.

I was able to move the keys, adjust the volume and lock the screen. The stench is located on one of the long ends, one under one. The move is tight, but it’s good, because it allows you to avoid pressure. IR port (the tablet can be used as a remote control), a slot for a memory card under a flap (both more aesthetic and practical), a headphone jack located on the top end of the tablet. At the bottom there is a microUSB for charging and connecting to a computer. And the other end is empty.

The same dimensions: LG G Pad 9 (8.3 inches) between the iPad Air (9.7 ", we have a review) and the Fidget Pad 8" tablet (7.85 ", a review is in preparation).

screen

The LG G Pad is equipped with an IPS display with FullHD resolution and an atypical diagonal of 8.3 inches, which LG, as a display manufacturer, can completely afford. The high separation gives an excellent pixel density beyond the standards of a tablet - 273 ppi. So, for a touch device, the display is one of the most important parts. That's why my acquaintance with the G Pad began with a colorimeter. The results of the experiment, to my disappointment, are even “statistically average.” What matters is the brightness of the white field (274.36 cd/m2), the color temperature, and the color transfer. Standard screen on Danish momentє Nexus 7, and far from the new LG G Pad. The tablet will not be so good on the street. I want to avoid problems with clarity in this time and in other places.

I'll add a nameThe brightness of the white field,

The beauty of the black field,

LG G Pad 8.3 274.73 0.36 763:1

PocketBook SurfPad 2 379.22 0.6 632:1
Nexus 7 (2013) 443.42 0.59 752:1
Nexus 7 (2012) 155.06> 0.34 456:1

Then the responsiveness to the screen is simply wonderful. It is especially important after the vikor of any “Chinese”.

Productivity and autonomy

It’s not surprising that with the top-end equipment for a tablet (Snapdragon 600, 2 GB of RAM), it shows the best results in device productivity tests (most notably the Nexus 7 and Sony Xperia Tablet Z, although not much). Surprisingly, the flagship smartphone LG G2 on the even more productive Snapdragon 800 was less able to achieve light glitches in games, and the tablet steadfastly withstood all testing with games, movies, and my typical scenarios I’m vikoristannya in Dusi “I don’t know what I want create, open, install, and all at once.” And just Masha Chip, three in one hand new iPad Air, And in another G Pad, she said that the first is different both in the smoothness of the work and in the speed of reaction.

The tablet battery capacity is 4600 mAh. The AnTuTu test scored 529 points. In test mode, the tablet consumed 81% of its charge in 3 years. In my life, I charged it once every two or three days, during which time I used it for gaming while at work and from work (2 years), I used it as a tool for checking mail, reading new books, and about 30 more igor or series to series.

interface

Developers of Android devices who install a lot of different software on their gadgets, and LG is not to blame. The G Pad tablet is another device in the manufacturer's lineup that runs Android 4.2 out of the box. The first smartphone was LG G2. on top operating system LG uses a branded shell that competes with its competitors by adjusting all sorts of visual “buns” (including the possibility of changing the icon of add-ons, without any effects) transitions), which I haven’t understood at all. Although the purely visual corporate interface of LG is less attractive. On a tablet, in landscape format, it looks as organic as it does on a smartphone. The tablet interface supports unlocking with a tap. Please do not hesitate to try it first, but then use it on a larger tablet, which is even easier than on a smartphone. for more a detailed look You can take a look at the interface of LG Optimus G Pro and LG G2. Now I'm still stuck on so many new things.

First of all, the keyboard is handy. The letters “Y” and “X” have never been taken into the deep end, which never had a place on 5.5-inch displays.

In another way, the Qpair function appeared. These requirements will be entirely at the forefront of your mind. For example, I like to forget my smartphone in the far corner of the room and miss all the calls and updates, concentrating only on the tablet. Qpair allows you to connect one to two Android devices and exchange other connections between them. So, entrance bell And notifications will also appear on the tablet screen. Because of the sound, there will be such a cacophony in the room that there will be no missed calls. Otherwise, the text of the input notification will be displayed on the tablet screen near the pop-up window. This means that you won’t have to run after a text message to the other end of the room, apartment, or land. Also, on each device, the remaining programs of another device will be available - the corresponding icon appears in the lower left corner of the screen. I another yogo Coryna Possibility- the ability to quickly and easily set up Internet distribution from a smartphone to a tablet. Addendum available for downloading in Google Play for smartphones of any kind. And the axis to connect two devices with each other was not possible for LG. The adjustment of programs is displayed as soon as possible.

Slide Aside - the addition can be flared and flared by breaking it in the direction of three fingers. I used this function just once to check it. If you click on the task manager to switch between applications, it will be less complicated and manual.

Shards in the tablet - IR port, like a remote control remote care Yogo can also be vikorista. The latest addition can be found in the list of installations. There are two dictionaries for those on the expensive side, and a video editor. However, the tablet’s camera can take clear memorable photographs and record video. You will need an editor if you upload photos and videos for a memorable video to a tablet from another device.

Camera

The main camera in the tablet is 5 megapixels and is equipped with rear lighting technology. Є autofocus, but it’s silent. The attached photo comes out even dubiously, while on the street you can achieve the same results as with a smartphone with a 5 MP camera. True, in gloomy days, photographs will be traditionally sweet. The camera has a variety of shooting modes, including HDR and two types of panoramas.

An example of a video taken with the camera of an LG G Pad 8.3 tablet.

competitors

Direct competitor to LG G Pad 8.3 in form factor and price is Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. However, one gives up samsung tablet practically everything: display capacity, processor, RAM capacity. If you want the productivity of the robot, it definitely doesn’t matter to the rest, since Samsung’s needs are more modest with its HD display. Another potential LG G Pad - Nexus 7. The first device should be chosen if a large diagonal is required, or if the availability of an updated version of the operating system and belonging to the Nexus family is important more

Video review of LG G Pad

Have a dry surplus

LG G Pad 8.3, without a doubt, is one of the most popular Android tablets on the market today, next to Nexus 7 (2013), Sony Xperia Tablet Z and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. At the same affordable price as the Nexus family, the tablet has top-end (for an Android tablet) productivity, an elegant body and a FullHD display with exceptional sensitivity. With such enviable regularity in its flagship devices (G2 and Nexus 5 cameras), LG eliminates all sorts of shortcomings. So, in the G Pad 8.3, the downside is the low brightness of the display backlight (however, there is a hope that a more “bright” option will reach the shelves), which will result in a dark skin. Although there is so much competition in the smartphone market, and such benefits may be a good reason to choose a different model, the segment of top-end Android tablets is still not so crowded. Yakshcho vi for yakim bi there was no reason you don’t want to buy apple tablet(Religion does not allow it, or Android is simply more suitable as an OS), and Nexus 7 is small, then I recommend upgrading to LG G Pad 8.3. Most of all, for all its advantages, the tablet will be taken away from us by the “editor's choice”.

4 reasons to buy LG G Pad 8.3:

  • FullHD display with a larger diagonal, lower in Nexus 7;
  • top productivity (at the time of exit);
  • luxurious metal case;
  • even more increased price for a top brand tablet;

2 reasons not to buy the LG G Pad 8.3:

  • a larger or smaller tablet is required;
  • Where you live, there are an order of magnitude more clear, sleepy days, fewer dull and gloomy ones, and you plan to spend all of them on the street, under a palm tree, with a tablet in your hands (in this situation, the doctor prescribes a brand new iPad or Nexus 7).
