Consumers of the latest tablet devices might have a hard time deciding between the Google Play Editions of the LG G Pad 8.3 and the Nexus 7. A comparison between the two might just help techies stuck on the fence about which device would suit their needs best.

Released in 2013, the Nexus 7 has since received positive responses from Android tablet fans and critics alike. The 16 GB version of the device is priced at around $230, while the 32 GB version costs $269. If an LTE connection is added to the 32 GB version, the price increases to $350. This often makes it difficult for the consumer to decide between the two.

As far as the operating software is concerned, both devices run off Google Android and the users can expect regular updates constantly. While the Nexus 7 from Asus has been leading the trail owing to the success of Nexus, G Pad is likely to compare, as it is a Google Play device. Both these devices offer smooth as well as seamless experiences to the consumers, as they are running the latest and enhanced Android 4.4 KitKat interface.

People looking for a much bigger screen may opt for the G Pad, which boasts 8.3 inches of display, making a big difference in comparison to the 7.02 inches on the Nexus 7.

While deciding on the comfort of using a handset, the Nexus 7, which measures 7.9 x 4.5 x 0.34 inches, can be easily held in one hand, as it weighs just 0.64 lbs. The G Pad measures 8.5 x 5 x 0.33 therefore, it would be better when held up with both hands, it is also heavier at 0.75 lbs.

If the consumer considers the design to be a major issue, the LG Pad offers a more premium-looking finish. The back panel has a brushed metal finish, while Asus decided to go with a less remarkable frame and panel with its rubberized plastic. Some users may prefer this plastic due to the warmer feel and comfort.

As far as the local storage is concerned, the G Pad GPE takes the crown with its 16 GB of internal memory that can be expanded upon by slotting in up to 64GB of memory with a card.
