LG G Pad 8.3 GPe now updating to Android 5.1

Despite the seemingly self-assured cessation of the Google Play Edition program, there is always work to be done so that those who came before can stand tall today. On that note, Google has now begun offering an OTA update to last year’s LG G Pad 8.3 GPe which brings the device up to Lollipop 5.1 (Lollipop MR1) and is 204MB in size.
