Guys tingin niyo I should go for this vs the new nexus 7?
LG pad is overall the best value for money mini tablet against sa nexus. Problem ko lang talaga naglalag daw and masama reputation ni lg for updating their devices to the latest flagship. This or nexus?

Definitely Nexus 2013. Easily the best 7″ tablet of 2013. You get the latest android version (no skin, comes with stock android which i think is the best iteration of the OS – no bloatwares)
Go for Nexus 7 2013. You on’t regret it.
My smartphone is made by LG and god they are slow in delivering android updates. Stil stuck on version 4.1.

mas maganda talaga ang LG kase mas maganda ung specs nya overall…ang problema lng talaga e ung update kasi di pa ganun kabilis magbigay ng update ang LG pero kung wala ka namang pakialam kung maging outdated ang OS mo sa future as long as nagagamit mo p siya,mag LG ka na lng =)

Mabagal update ng LG :-)
Tulad ng Samsung na bloated ang UI.

Mabagal nga eh. Or wala talaga. Tsk really want this pero flagships nga niya like 2x, 4xhd, Optimus g nastuck sa release versions. And to think naka second nexus na siya.

more like nexus 7 2013 without android updates! LG is the worst android oem in update!

read this article http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/12/the-checkered-slow-history-of-android-handset-updates/
the only lg devices that are getting updates are the lg nexus

The ASUS N7 is plagued with quality control issues.
Kung Php16,990 online ang SRP niyan siguradong significantly lesser pa yan sa mga online stores (My guesstimate is around Php 14-15k)
G-Pad for the BETTER build and wider aspect ratio (perfect for pDfs and e-books)
Tsaka expandable na yung storage niya.

without the trim fn of 4.3 the LG will be laggy…

Which is better guys,. Im planning to buy a tablet. I couldnt decide kung Samsung note 8 , Google nexus 7 2013 , or Itong LG pAd 8.3 ?.
Thank you

Seriously, don’t even consider samsung tablet. Just because they make great smartphone doesn’t mean they have great tablets. Screen is quite awful comparable to the ppi of the old ipad mini with worse color and contrast from tft screens. The processors on the nexus and g pad may not be the latest but it’s still newer than the exynos of the note 8.
Mahirap talaga pagpilian lg and nexus but stay away from the expensive samsung tablets.

Can you use whatsapp with this? I thought whatsapp only works with tablets with phone capability?

“The LG G Pad 8.3 doesn’t have phone functionality, which is normal for a tablet, but since there are some rare instances that do have such functionality, we wanted to get this out of the way. Naturally, you can’t make phone calls or send texts, but you can still utilize all the internet-based means of communication such as Skype, WhatsApp and so on.”
