This is the freshly announced OnePlus Pad Go 2 and it’s the maker’s affordable global tablet.
It ships in Lavender Drift and Shadow Black and costs £320/€350/₹27,000 for the base 8-128GB Wi-Fi only model. The top-of-the-line 8/256GB model is £400/€450/₹33,000, and it packs 5G. Currently in Europe, OnePlus will gift you a Watch 2R with a Pad Go 2 purchase! You get a USB-A to USB-C cable in the box.
The Pad Go 2 supports 33W charging, but you’d need to supply your own charger!
You can pair the OnePlus Pad Go 2 with two accessories – a stylus and a folio case. The Pad Go 2 Stylo offers lag-free writing and drawing experience and fast charging. OnePlus claims that 10 minutes on a charger will provide half a day of use.
The Stylo is normally €79 but is 20% off at the time of this article.
The Pad Go 2 Folio Case is also 20% off (currently €32). It has an interesting semi-transparent back design.
The folio side snaps magnetically to the screen, and the tablet will automatically turn on when you open the folio. Once open, you can fold the folio up to act as a stand for the OnePlus Pad Go 2, which is neat.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 brings a Dimensity 7300-Ultra chipset – a 4nm chip with a 5G modem. Our review unit features a SIM slot for 5G connectivity, but the tablet can also automatically grab onto your nearby OnePlus smartphone’s 5G connectivity, too.
The new model has a few advantages over the original Pad Go. The IPS LCD is once again a “ReadFit” 7:5 aspect ratio, but it’s larger (12.1-inch vs 11.35-inch). It’s also faster at 120Hz, and twice as bright at 900 nits in HBM (high brightness mode).
OnePlus bumped the battery as well. At 10,050mAh, it’s a significant jump up from 8,000mAh on the OnePlus Pad Go. OnePlus says the Pad Go 2 can give you 15 hours of video playback and up to 60 days of stand-by.
