Earlier this year, OnePlus brought its first tablet, and it was one of the most interesting devices for the first half of the year. The company didn’t want to stop there, as we’ve been following rumors surrounding a more affordable version of the tablet. This tablet, named the OnePlus Pad Go, is now official.
If you’re interested in getting the original OnePlus Pad, it’s well worth the money. It gets a lot right with its solid performance, gorgeous display, excellent build quality, and powerful speakers. The device only costs $499, and it goes toe-to-toe with some of the more powerful iPads and Galaxy Tabs. Read our OnePlus Pad review to know more about this device.
The OnePlus Pad Go is official
While OnePlus is far removed from its status as the “Flagship Killer Company”, it still produces devices that give you some serious bang for your buck. This is the case with the OnePlus Pad Go. It’s sporting a large 11.35-inch LCD display with a resolution of 2408 x 1720. That’s north of QHD resolution, so whatever content you’re watching will look great. It runs at 90Hz, so it won’t be the smoothest, but it will still be nice.
Moving onto the internals, the OnePlus Pad Go uses the mid-range MediaTek Helio G99. That’s not quite a powerhouse, but with proper software optimization, this chip can fly. The Helio G99 is backed up by 8GB of RAM and 128GB/256GB of onboard storage. The tablet has a microSD card expansion of up to 1TB.
On the back, the aOnePlus Pad Go is rocking an 8MP camera. It’s right in the center of the chassis just like the original OnePlus Pad. Seeing that this is a camera on a mid-range tablet, you shouldn’t expect the best performance. It’s a camera to get the job done. Up front, there’s another 8MP camera.
Rounding out the specs, this tablet has a standard 8,000mAh battery. This should keep the tablet on for a decent amount of time on a single charge. OnePlus said that you should expect up to 514 hours of standby time, 14 hours of video-watching, and 40 hours of music-listening on a single charge. When you need to charge it, this tablet supports 33W charging.
Price
The OnePlus Pad Go comes with Oxygen OS 13 running on Android 13 out of the box. We can expect it to get future OS upgrades. As for the price, we only have the price for India at the moment. The Wi-Fi version is priced at ₹19,999 ($240), and the LTE version weighs in at ₹21,999 ($265). We’re not sure if this tablet will make it to the US market, but here’s hoping. Open sale for this tablet kicks off on October 20th.
