Wow
Many months later, the G Pad(Google Play Edition) is at $229 at Amazon, while the Nexus 7 is $199. At this point the G Pad is the obvious choice.
The screen on the Nexus 7 is responsive and very bright and crisp. I haven't had any issues with lagging or crashing to speak of and it seems to support just about any app I should wish to run on it.
In the UK both tablets are £200 :(ÂÂÂ
In the UK the G Pad 8.3 is much cheaper than the Nexus 7. £119 at Tesc – fantastic value.
make a lg g pad vs google play edition please
Rumor is a Nexus 8 is due this summer. Looks like you can see the fingerprints on the back of the LG G Pad more than the Nexus 7
Great video.  🙂  I'm glad I waited on the Nexus 7.  I'll take the G-Pad instead
I will get the G-Pad 8.3 because it is offered here in the Philippines for only 999 PHP monthly with pocket wi-fi for data connection. More or less it is at 23 USD monthly for 2 years! I love the fact that the G-Pad has an expandable memory but the Nexus 7 2nd Gen is equally as great as the 8.3 so eitherway will be a great choice for those who will purchase any of these devices.
Lg G-pad normal retail version has now hit £199 inc del in the uk at many mobile outlets (e.g Expansys) and still cheaper than the nexus 7 considering it can be turned into a Google Play Edition very easily….:)
The Nexus will fit in a car dash better than the G pad.ÂÂÂ
is the nexus 7 still fast because it has the exact same internal specs of a nexus 4
My friend you provide very useful and quality reviews!! Better than many I am subscribed to
After using both it's clear the Nexus 7 is the better value. The screen is brighter , sound is twice as good Android community presence for the G Pad is little to none while the nexus 7 has online support everywhere. We just bought the Gpad and well the Aluminum back makes it feel slippery not premium. It does feel like a right build but not premium. W/o Roms , kernels etc the G pad will only be so good. The blacks are so deep its hard to see definitions in the blacks. Not to mention Battery life sucks so far. Nexus 7 for the win.
O.O! and the audio quality???
Watching this on my nexus 7 🙂
ine telia
@Android Authority @*****  Can one turn a nornal g pad to a GPE one? We don't get gpe devices here, so..
Can someone please tell me how to use HDR+ on my nexus 7 2013 BTW I'm loving the s*** out of this tab I reccomend it for anyone the lg glad is just too expensive for that larger screen and slightly better performance 😀ðŸÂÂâ€Â
Watching this on my nexus 7. You dreamily can't go wrong with either tablet. The price was what got me for my Nexus 7 but I was tempted with that larger screen on the gpad
nice review but they are just too small. Im not waiting much longer for the nexus 10 if its coming at all. probably getting the ipad pro or the 12.2/13.3 samsung when they come out.
Josh, love your reviews. Good voice, well thought out words and a plus, you're showing more of your face…good stuff
Watching this on my Nexus 7 2nd gen. Nexus FTW!
I'll go for the LG G pad GPE, Lil better screen and processor. :)ÂÂÂ
The nexus 7 is awesome, it has great battery, a beautiful screen, shockingly smooth, fast and reliable experience with great software. And the size is a sweet spot for miniature tablets for me.
You're getting amazing hardware and software, for a killer price.
You can't go wrong.
If you have any questions about this tablet, feel free to reply to this comment.
Still waiting on the Nexus 10 to buy a tablet.
Hi great video, can you please do a review of the Nixa Tega 7 Tablet. I hear it is the best tablet for gaming….thanks…
Gta5 hells yeah
I don't like this tablets. Apple iPad are better
ugly wallpapers !!!
Nexus 7 rocks for me. The speaker is awesome….
Im going with the nexus.. i dont need a big screen and also i like The quality more and the most important thing for me is the screen cuz im always watching such as Movies etc.
@***** nice comparison dudeÂÂÂ
The disply on the g pad is very low quality.
What is that app that all of the versions of android appear?
4:00 pop that zit
To get the best experience for mobile. A must play on apple device. All android device are not the same.
the piano at the back.. ♥
Omg I'm the #666 like O.O
