OnePlus is back in the tablet space with the OnePlus Pad Go 2, a follow-up to last year’s Pad Go that aims squarely at the midrange. The pitch is familiar, but ambitious: deliver the design polish, display quality, and software tricks you normally don’t get at this price — without drifting into flagship territory.
Design-wise, OnePlus keeps things restrained. The tablet comes in a single color — Shadow Black — but with a matte, carbon-like finish that looks more premium than the usual budget gloss. At 597 grams (Wi-Fi model) and 6.83mm thin, it’s easy to carry and doesn’t feel oversized despite the large screen.
Up front, the Pad Go 2 packs a 12.1-inch LCD with a 2800 × 1980 resolution and Dolby Vision support. The standout here isn’t just sharpness, but the 7:5 aspect ratio, which OnePlus says delivers 14 percent more usable screen area than a typical 16:10 panel. In practice, that means less vertical scrolling when reading, wider documents, and a layout that feels closer to a digital notebook than a stretched video screen.
Inside, the Pad Go 2 runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra, built on a 4nm process. It’s paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and OnePlus promises five years of software updates, which is still rare at this price point.
Power comes from a 10,050mAh battery with 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging. OnePlus claims a full charge in a little over 90 minutes. There’s also 6.5W reverse charging, allowing the tablet to top up your phone in a pinch.
Audio is handled by a quad-speaker setup with what OnePlus calls an Omnibearing Sound Field. The tablet automatically detects orientation and adjusts stereo channels accordingly, so sound doesn’t collapse when you rotate the screen. It’s a small touch, but one that makes media consumption feel more polished.
The Pad Go 2 runs OxygenOS 16 and supports Open Canvas, allowing two apps in split-screen plus a floating window. Gestures do most of the heavy lifting: a two-finger swipe activates split-screen, while a four-finger pinch turns an app into a movable floating window.
Price and availability
At $399.99, the Pad Go 2 sits in that increasingly crowded space between entry-level slates and premium iPads, trying to win on experience rather than raw specs.
