Review of OnePlus Pad Go: A budget-friendly tablet that delivers satisfactory performance

OnePlus Pad Go: Affordable Tablet Launched in India

OnePlus, the Chinese smartphone maker, has recently launched its latest tablet, the OnePlus Pad Go, in India. This affordable tablet comes after the success of the OnePlus Pad, which was launched in 2023. Positioned in the entry-level segment, the OnePlus Pad Go competes with other tablets such as the Realme Pad X, Galaxy Tab A9+, and Lenovo Tab P11. Having used the OnePlus Pad Go for several days, I will provide an in-depth review of this budget-friendly tablet.

The OnePlus Pad Go is available in three variants, with a starting price of ₹19,999. These variants include the 8GB RAM + 128GB Wi-Fi variant, 8GB RAM + 128GB storage LTE variant, and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage LTE variant. It can be purchased from Amazon, Flipkart, the OnePlus online store, Reliance Digital, Croma, and OnePlus authorized stores nationwide. The tablet is available in a Twin Mint color option.

In terms of specifications, the OnePlus Pad Go features an 11.3-inch 2.4K LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 processor and runs on Android 13 with OxygenOS 13.2. The tablet is equipped with an 8,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. It also features an 8MP rear camera and an 8MP selfie camera.

Design-wise, the OnePlus Pad Go follows the sleek and dual-tone design of its predecessor. The tablet is lightweight, making it comfortable to hold even for extended periods. It has a circular camera module on the back and comes with quad speakers, providing an immersive audio experience. The tablet also has a USB Type-C port for charging and a SIM slot in the LTE variant.

Software-wise, the OnePlus Pad Go comes with OxygenOS 13.2, offering a smooth user interface with minimal bloatware. It supports split-screen multitasking and features like auto-connect, enabling easy connectivity with OnePlus smartphones. The tablet’s performance is decent for day-to-day usage, although gaming can be a bit challenging for the Helio G99 chipset.

A notable drawback of the OnePlus Pad Go is its camera capabilities. With only 8MP rear and selfie cameras, the tablet is not suitable for photography enthusiasts. However, it can still capture decent pictures in good lighting conditions.

In conclusion, the OnePlus Pad Go is a viable option for those seeking an affordable tablet priced around ₹20,000. It offers a clean and feature-rich UI compared to its competitors. While it may not excel in all aspects, such as gaming or photography, it provides good value for its price range.
