While you can purchase the LG G Pad 8.3 right now from Google Play and other retailers, Verizon just announced availability of LG’s tablet on its network.

From March 6 to the 10, you can purchase the G Pad 8.3 for $100 with a two-year contract. After the 10th, the price will go to $200 with a two-year contract. Even though you’ll be locked to Verizon’s network for two years, we thought is was an overall good tablet that we might have liked more if it was cheaper.

Here’s where things get a bit interesting. You have the option of buying the G Pad 8.3 off-contract from Verizon for $300. Considering that the Wi-Fi variant of the G Pad 8.3 normally goes for $350, you’re saving yourself $50. Having the LTE radio there in case you want to use Verizon’s network definitely helps things a bit.

As a refresher, the G Pad 8.3 packs an 8.3-inch Full HD 1920 x 1200 IPS display, powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. Since this is a non-Google Play Edition, we are looking at Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with the Google Play Edition running Android 4.4 KitKat. Finally, the 5-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, and 16GB of onboard storage round out the tablet’s specifications.

I keep forgetting about the Apple Watch Series 9’s coolest feature

Apps on the Apple Watch Series 9's screen.

I’m just going to come out and say it: I love the Apple Watch Series 9. A couple of weeks ago, I returned to wearing it every day after an extended period of not doing so. And you know what? I was surprised by how much I’d missed it.

But one thing has bothered me this time around: There's a feature I haven't been using. Not because it’s bad, but because I tend to forget it's there.

The OnePlus 12R is still one of 2024’s best smartphone deals

OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition in hand.

OnePlus is still quite new to me, as I was a lifelong iPhone user until I joined Digital Trends. However, OnePlus has a pretty solid reputation in the mobile world, and now I can see why, as the OnePlus 12 is one of my favorite smartphones that I’ve used so far this year.

But the OnePlus 12 isn’t the only phone that OnePlus launched in 2024. There is also the more affordable value option, the OnePlus 12R, which even comes in a cool Genshin Impact Edition.
