It’s been a long time coming, and despite not having an official announcement, we are finally starting to see signs suggesting that LG’s flagship tablet of 2014, the G Pad 8.3, is on its way to popular U.S. carrier, Verizon. A leaked press render has been posted on Twitter revealing a new version of the slate carrying the operators traditional over-the-top branding.

The date displayed on the leaked image of Verizon’s carrier branded model is Thursday, March 27, 2014, the date hidden in these promotional images usually indicates when the handset will officially be available to purchase. So if what we have seen in the past still holds true we only have just over a month to wait until we can get our hands on the LTE-enabled variant of this slate.
