introduction
The OnePlus Pad Go is the company’s second tablet and the first to compete in the mid-range segment. The flagship OnePlus Pad impressed us earlier this year with its design, display, performance, speakers and fast charging. It also had some great top-notch accessories in the form of a pen and keyboard case.
The OnePlus Pad Go loses quite a bit to hit its lower price point. The chipset has been downgraded to Helio G99. The display only refreshes up to 90Hz. And there’s no support for the pen and keyboard made for the more expensive model.
However, these seem like necessary trade-offs to make. After all, the OnePlus Pad Go costs almost half as much as the original model, despite having a very similar design, almost the same display size and resolution, and a four-speaker system. Additionally, the OnePlus Pad Go also adds cellular connectivity, something the OnePlus Pad lacks.

Compared to the more expensive model, the OnePlus Pad Go’s specs are biased towards a better visual and audio experience rather than focusing on things like gaming, high productivity, or even photography. Considering the intended use, the trade-offs here may not be that harmful.
Unpacking
The OnePlus Pad Go comes with a simple package, consisting of the tablet, a 33W fast charger, and a cable.
While the OnePlus Pad doesn’t come with additional accessories, it supports the OnePlus Stylo Pen, OnePlus Magnetic Keyboard with Trackpad, and OnePlus Folio Case. The Pad Go only receives a OnePlus Go Folio case, which attaches via clamps as it doesn’t have magnets to secure the case. It is not compatible with any OnePlus Pad accessories.
