LG G Pad 8.3

G Pad 8.3 tablet

The LG G Pad 8.3 is the first tablet with a Google Play Edition, a completely stock 8.3-inch slate for $349.99. It’s not a Nexus device like Google’s other two tablets, but it has the latest version of Android, untouched by any carrier or manufacturer.

It’s right here, on my desk, next to LG’s skinned version. That ones also $349.99, with an identical spec sheet and the Korean company’s idea of what Android is supposed to look like. So here’s the simple question: who’s right? Google’s a purist, LG a consummate tweaker which turns the same parts into the better tablet?

The answer’s not as obvious as I thought.
