The G Pad 8.3 looks like a bigger version of the G2 from the front, but at the back, things get pretty interesting as LG G Pad 8.3 is equipped with a dual-material finish. The top and bottom of the back side have the plastic material which is found on the front side, but the middle part is made of solid metal giving it an industrial design.
