New tablet released early this year

The OnePlus Pad Go 2, an updated version of the OnePlus Pad Go, has been released to the market early this year. This mid-range tablet has seen several improvements, including a larger screen, a higher refresh rate, and a more generous battery. While it is less well-equipped than the OnePlus Pad 3, it is well-suited for entertainment-focused use and may appeal to those with smaller budgets, as its current price does not exceed 204 euros.

Promotional pricing and certification

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 (Wi-Fi, 8 + 128 Go) was originally launched at 349 euros and is now available in promotion at 203.90 euros on AliExpress with the promo code WOFR13. It is certified as Marque+. If this offer is no longer available, users are advised to check for other offers related to the OnePlus Pad Go 2, as the table updates automatically.

Unusual screen dimensions and performance

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 features a 12.1-inch LCD screen with a 7:5 aspect ratio, displaying images in a resolution of 2800 x 1980 pixels. This is a somewhat unusual ratio, as the display is more square than the standard 16:10 format. Users may notice wide black bars around certain videos, but this will not be an issue for social media navigation, where the entire screen area will be utilized.

Enhanced visual comfort and stylus compatibility

The LCD screen delivers good quality images, particularly bright with realistic colors. The Pad Go 2 also benefits from a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz (compared to 90 Hz for the Pad Go), which is ideal for optimizing visual comfort when scrolling through PDF pages, for example. The screen is compatible with a stylus, sold separately, which communicates with the tablet via Bluetooth and is charged through its USB-C port.

Hardware specifications and performance

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra processor, supported by 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage (expandable via microSDXC). This configuration promises excellent responsiveness for office and multimedia tasks. In terms of gaming, the tablet can run sophisticated titles such as Fortnite under satisfactory conditions: setting the graphics to a medium level allows the game to run between 30 and 60 frames per second.

Software and audio features

The tablet runs on Android 16, complemented by OnePlus's OxygenOS 16. This provides an intuitive and comprehensive software environment with well-integrated AI tools. The only drawback is that only three major Android updates are planned, although security updates will be available for six years. The Pad Go 2 is also equipped with four speakers, which deliver excellent audio quality. For listening to music or watching series, this is more than satisfactory.

Battery life and charging

A 10,050 mAh battery allows the tablet to last through a full day of binge-watching. However, wired charging is not particularly fast.
