The OnePlus Pad Go 2 is officially set to launch on December 17, 2025, alongside the OnePlus 15R at an event in Bengaluru, India. Sales will begin the next day on December 18, 2025, making it one of the first major tablet releases heading into 2026. With several upgrades over its predecessor, including a faster processor, larger display, software enhancements, and optional 5G connectivity, the Pad Go 2 is shaping up to be a strong mid-range tablet option for both productivity and entertainment.
Performance and Processor
At the heart of the OnePlus Pad Go 2 is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra chipset, built on an efficient 4nm process. Early benchmark listings confirm 8GB RAM, and storage variants are expected to go up to 256GB. The chipset is also TÜV SÜD certified for four years of smooth performance, ensuring long-term reliability.
Display: Designed for Productivity and Entertainment
The tablet features a large 12.1-inch LCD panel with a sharp 2.8K resolution (1980 × 2800 pixels) and 284 PPI density. With a 7:5 aspect ratio, it is optimized for reading, split-screen usage, and document editing. The screen also supports Dolby Vision, 900-nit peak brightness, 98% DCI-P3 color gamut, and TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care 4.0, making it ideal for media consumption.
Battery and Charging
A significant upgrade comes with its 10,050mAh battery, offering impressive endurance numbers up to 15 hours of video playback, 53 hours of music streaming, and a 60-day standby time. Charging is handled via 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging, and the device also supports reverse wired charging for accessories.
Software and AI Tools
The OnePlus Pad Go 2 runs OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16 (expected), featuring Open Canvas multitasking, improved split-screen support, floating windows, and AI-powered features like AI Write, Translate, and VoiceScribe.
Stylus and Connectivity
For the first time in the Pad Go lineup, OnePlus introduces the Pad Go 2 Stylo, supporting fast charging with half-day use from a 10-minute charge. The top variant also brings 5G connectivity, a first for the Go series.
Final Thoughts
Available in Shadow Black and Lavender Drift, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 appears to be a well-rounded tablet targeting students, creators, and professionals. Pricing details will be announced at launch, but the feature set strongly positions it as one of the most competitive mid-range tablets launching this year.
