OnePlus Pad Go 2 launches in India with a 10,050mAh battery, Dimensity 7300-Ultra, and a Stylo
At possibly the biggest OnePlus event this year with public attendance, the OnePlus 15R and OnePlus Pad Go 2 made their debut in India. OnePlus 15R is the first phone to launch with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. The OnePlus Pad Go 2, on the other hand, is a successor to the OnePlus Pad Go, which was launched in October 2023. The new tablet features a larger and brighter display, a bigger battery, a faster chipset, and a refreshed design. OnePlus Pad Go 2 has been launched at a starting price of Rs 26,999.
The new OnePlus tablet features a 12.1-inch 2.8K (2800 x 1980 pixels) LCD display with 900 nits peak brightness in HBM, TÜV Rheinland Smart Care 4.0 protection, and a 120Hz refresh rate. It offers a 7:5 ReadFit aspect ratio, which gives 14 percent more active area than a traditional 16:10 display. This results in a more natural, book-like layout for reading and a wider view for reading documents and web browsing. The tablet also houses a quad-speaker system paired with OnePlus Omnibearing Sound Field technology.
