The LG G Pad 8.3 continues to roll out in international markets, and this time its coming to the United Kingdom and Ireland on Oct. 15. The price of the tablet has been confirmed by Android Community to be £259.99, or about $416.
LG had previously launched their newest tablet on Oct. 14 in Korea, but it was unclear what market was next. The tech company had said in the past that the United Kingdom and Ireland would receive the tablet "in the run-up to Christmas," so this news was expected, if perhaps a little bit early.
In the U.K. the LG G Pad 8.3 is currently exclusive to one retailer, Micro P, which will carry the device their stores and online shop through October. In Ireland Harvey Norman will have a similar deal throughout October.
It is unknown when the G Pad 8.3 will hit the North American market. Previously LG had stated that the device will hit "over 30 other key markets by the end of 2013." This would presumably include the United States, though no precise timetable has been revealed by LG. Hopefully the device will hit the United States in time for the holiday rush at the end of the year.
The specs for the device are fairly impressive and are comparable to other tablets available on the market. The tablet will have a 8.3-inch display (hence the name) and will have a resolution of 1920 x 1200 with a pixel density of 273. The tablet will have a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor with 2GB of RAM to play around with.
The device will have 16GB of internal memory and will run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box. The device has two different cameras; a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera. Powering the whole device is a massive 4600 mAh battery. The LG G Pad 8.3 will be available in both white and black.
Look out for more news concerning the LG G Pad 8.3 right here as the tablet continues to roll out to new markets in 2013.
