OnePlus Go Pad 2 Review

OnePlus has been actively expanding its lineup further than just great smartphones. The company has a unique take on many devices, and tablets are no exception. Late in 2025, alongside the new OnePlus 15R, we saw the release of the OnePlus Pad Go 2. 

We finally got our hands onto the budget minded tab, and it showcases some strong features for a tablet at the $399 price range.

Design

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 embraces a familiar, sophisticated aesthetic that might lead you to mistake it for an Apple product at first glance. It features a large 12.1-inch LCD with even bezels and flat side rails, providing a modern look that fits perfectly into the current tablet market. While the build is primarily matte plastic, which can attract fingerprints, it remains a solid and well-constructed device. 

Users can choose between understated Shadow Black and more unique Lavender Drift finishes. Perhaps the most functional design choice is the 7:5 aspect ratio, which strikes a beautiful balance between a square iPad and a narrow widescreen tablet, making it feel as natural for reading a magazine as it is for streaming movies.

Although it lacks a fingerprint sensor, opting instead for facial recognition or PIN security, the overall footprint remains portable enough to slide into a laptop bag for life on the move.

Software

OnePlus has truly outdone itself with the software commitment for this mid-range slate, offering a staggering five years of Android updates and six years of security patches. This support longevity actually beats the brand’s own flagship phones, providing immense long-term value for users and building significant brand trust. 

Running OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16, the experience is snappy and highly customizable. The software is further enhanced by useful AI features, such as the AI Recorder for generating meeting summaries and AI Translate for smoother communication.

For those who need to get things done, the Open Canvas multitasking feature remains a standout tool, allowing users to effortlessly shuffle documents and notes around the screen. Additionally, O Plus Connect enables a seamless, DeX-like experience for those who want to link the tablet to their laptop or OnePlus smartphone.

With a stunning 120Hz display and an industry-leading six years of security support, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 is a rare budget tablet built to stay premium for years to come.

Daily Use

For the average user looking for a reliable media companion, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 delivers where it counts. The quad-speaker setup is a delightful surprise, producing punchy, loud, and well-balanced audio that is perfect for watching sports or listening to music across a room. 

While the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra chipset isn’t a powerhouse for high-end gaming, it is more than capable of handling daily tasks like browsing the web, catching up on Kindle books, or streaming high-definition content.

The tablet also supports a specialized Stylo accessory with 4096 pressure levels, making it a handy tool for jotting down notes or light sketching. It’s not as robust as the Stylo 2 found on the Pad 3, but it gets the job don in most instances. Even though it lacks a high IP rating for water resistance, it excels as a “kill time” device for traveling, waiting for appointments, or simply relaxing at home.

Battery Life

Battery endurance is one of the strongest selling points for this tablet, as it houses a massive 10,050mAh cell. In real-world testing, the device can last through several days of intermittent reading and streaming without needing a charge. It specifically excels in web browsing, where it can last over 13 hours, ranking it among the top tablets for endurance in its class. 

When you finally do run the battery down, OnePlus includes a 33W SuperVOOC charger in the box, which is a welcome addition for any budget-conscious buyer. While the two-hour charging time isn’t the fastest on the market, it is perfectly acceptable for a device of this size and price point.

Final Thoughts

Awarded to products with an average rating of 3.75 stars or higher, the AndroidGuys Smart Pick recognizes a balance of quality, performance, and value.

Products with this distinction deserve to be on your short list of purchase candidates.

At a competitive price of $399, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 successfully positions itself as a versatile and long-lasting alternative to the entry-level iPad. It may not be a laptop replacement for power users, but it checks almost all the boxes for someone who wants a premium-feeling Android tablet for media and light productivity. The combination of an excellent 120Hz display, a user-friendly aspect ratio, and industry-leading software support makes it a smart investment that will stay current for years to come. For fans already in the OnePlus ecosystem, it serves as a beautiful complementary device that fulfills its purpose with style and reliability.

Using this tablet is like carrying a reliable travel guide; it may not be the fastest runner on the track, but it has all the information you need and will stay by your side for the entire journey.

Hands-on: Rolling Square’s New Dual Trackers Add Android Find Hub Support

Rolling Square makes some of the most durable, and unique, tech accessories on the market. The rugged, retro-tech designs of many of the company’s products make them stand out. We reviewed the Rolling Square AirNotch Pro and AirCard Pro last year and loved the Apple Find My support.

Back with Android Find Hub

It’s now 2026, and Rolling Square has relaunched both models. What’s the catch? The AirNotch Pro and AirCard Pro now have Dual universal mobile tracking built in. That’s right, you can now add them to either Android’s Find Hub, or Apple Find My.

The overall design, is mostly unchanged. You still get the same “see through” look that gives each tracker a very Star Wars vibe. Personally, I find these Rolling Square trackers to have some of the best personality of any models I’ve tested.

The anodized aluminum and gray plastics of my test units lean into this. The retro industrial design is consistent, right down to the LED rings and speakers. These are fantastic additions to find your personal items when the AirNotch and AirCard Pro are signaled as lost. The LED flashes and loudspeakers make finding them a breeze.

Wireless Charging and Long Battery

The Rolling Square AirCard Pro Dual can last up to 12 months on a single charge. This is impressive alone, but when you do need to recharge, you don’t have to remember where you left that pesky charger. You can instead pop it on a Qi charger and only have to wait around 90 minutes.

While the AirNotch Pro Dual doesn’t have wireless charging, it does have long-lasting endurance of its own. Housing two, stackable CR2032 batteries give this tracker up to 20 months of usage before you have to consider replacements.

Price is Right Too

The hit to your wallet is the exact same for the AirCard Pro Dual and AirNotch Pro Dual. Each unit costs just $40 to add to your next travel bag or daily items you need to track. With the additional features, battery life, and wireless charging of the AirCard, this makes them a worthy buy over some of the competition.
