OnePlus Pad Go 2 – Pros and Cons

OnePlus Pad Go 2 – Unboxing

OnePlus Pad Go 2 – Design and Build

Our first thought while getting the OnePlus Pad Go 2 out of its box was how different it looked compared to what we had seen in the first-gen device. The dual-tone back finish is gone and instead, we have this classy-looking pad that feels premium right from the start.

We received the Lavender Drift colour unit for this review and the colour is very refreshing. It is a soft lavender hue with a subtle shine and a matte finish. The back finish does an excellent job of resisting fingerprints and smudges.

It follows a minimalist aesthetic with only a subtle OnePlus logo in the centre and the single camera lens top right-hand side corner. The camera module sits neatly in the corner without sticking out too much. The in-hand feel is also very robust. The pad is slim and lightweight with proper weight distribution.

All in all, when it comes to design, we feel OnePlus has definitely offered an upgrade.

Accessories – OnePlus Pad Go 2 Stylo And Folio Case

We have also had the opportunity to get an in-hand feel of the OnePlus Pad Go 2 Folio Case and Stylo.

The folio instantly changes the whole feel of the tablet. It looks great and has a solid build. It definitely makes it easier to hold the tablet. You can fold the case as a stand as well.

The Pad Go 2 Stylo connects over Bluetooth 5.4 and charges via USB-C. The battery life is impressive and it can last for days on a single charge, depending on how much you will use it. Pressure sensitivity of the pen is good and it stays responsive. We tried using it notes and it was easy to use.

Both the stylo and the folio are sold separately. The Stylo is available at ₹3,999, while the folio case costs ₹1,499.

OnePlus Pad Go 2 – Display and Multimedia Experience

The display is easily one of the best things about the OnePlus Pad Go 2. It comes with a large 12.1-inch LCD screen with a sharp 2800×1980 resolution. In daily use, it is a perfectly smooth display for watching videos, browsing the web, or reading documents. Text looks crisp and images have good clarity. Watching HDR and Dolby Vision content is enjoyable on this display.

The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling through apps, social media, or even long web pages feel very smooth. Animations are fluid and the interface feels quick and responsive. This smoothness also helps while gaming, as supported games remain responsive and enjoyable.

The display can go up to 900 nits in High Brightness Mode and stays around 600 nits for normal use. It is perfectly fine indoors, but the glossy screen does make outdoor use a bit difficult, as reflections can get in the way under direct sunlight.

It also has a quad-speaker setup placed on both sides of the tablet. This works well and keeps the sound balanced whether you’re using it in landscape or portrait mode.

OnePlus Pad Go 2 – Performance and Software Experience

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 features the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra processor with 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Tasks like watching content on YouTube or streaming platforms, browsing the web, writing notes or scrolling through e-commerce apps, all was handled smoothly without any lag or stutters. App loading times were quick. The tablet also felt quite responsive in moving between apps. Multitasking on Pad Go 2 works well. You can expect a reliable performance as long as you are not pushing too many heavy apps at the same time.

We tested the device on benchmarks and below are the results.

We also tried casual gaming, the tablet performs well. Lighter games run smoothly without any major issues. But you’ll need to lower the graphics settings to get stable frame rates if you play some graphics-intensive games on this device.

OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16 feels familiar, clean, and easy to use. The tablet layout also brings some useful multitasking features. There are also a bunch of AI features. We experimented with the AI Writer, AI Recorder, AI Image Editor, and AI Translate. Most of these are useful and come with decent capability of following instructions. It can come in handy if you intend to use the tablet for work or studying.

OnePlus Pad Go 2 – Battery Life and Charging

The Pad Go 2 packs a large 10,050mAh battery, which is optimum for everyday use. For an average user like ourselves, we easily managed to get about 15 hours of power. It is impressive for a tablet of this size. You can, however, expect draining when multitasking for too long.

OnePlus includes a 45W SuperVOOC charger in the box. However, the tablet itself supports charging speeds of up to 33W. As we tracked the charging time, it takes around 1.3 hours to go from 10 to 100% charge. There is also reverse wired charging at up to 6.5W.

Verdict – Should You Buy OnePlus Pad Go 2?

OnePlus Pad Go 2 is a good upgrade when you remind yourself of the first-gen Pad Go launched almost 2 years ago. It brings meaningful upgrades over its predecessor and is a perfect device for watching videos, browsing, reading and light productivity. The quad speakers and smooth display adds to the overall experience of the tablet. Battery easily lasting a full day and charging speeds is decent.

Overall, it is worth buying if you want a reliable and well-rounded mid-range Android tablet for everyday use.
