Even as an affordable Android tablet, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 is poised to be a capable entertainment and productivity tablet without the flagship pricing. It's one of the best value tablets I've used recently, and it gets even better when you add the native accessories, such as the OnePlus stylus and folio case.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 is the successor to the brand's previous affordable tablet, launched last year, though it features some significant upgrades. The Pad Go 2 features a larger display this year, a 12.1-inch screen with a 7:5 aspect ratio that works well for multitasking, streaming videos, and reading.
The tablet looked sleek and imposing when I unboxed it, especially after getting used to the 11-inch iPad Pro for everyday work. However, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 remains compact enough to accompany you to work, school, or travel, without weighing down your backpack or shoulder bag like a laptop would.
As an entertainment tablet, the Pad Go 2 performs exceptionally well, particularly when compared to other Android tablets in its price range. It can be an all-day device with a long battery life, allowing it to transition smoothly from work to streaming or gaming.
