OnePlus Pad Go 2 review

Basic 8MP cameras on both ends

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 features 8MP f/2.0 camera at the back with autofocus capabilities and another 8MP f/2.0 camera at the front with a fixed focus lens.

Both cameras support 1080p video capturing, but there is no video stabilization available.

The rear camera saves mediocre photos with average detail, though with realistic colors and wide dynamic range.

The same applies to the front camera, but we can also mention the nice skin tones, too.

Front camera

The 1080p videos from both cameras are alright with good enough resolved detail, low noise, accurate colors and wide dynamic range. Check the snapshots from the 1080p videos below.

Our verdict

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 costs €299 for the 128GB Wi-Fi version and €399 for the 5G 256GB model. Those are very reasonable prices, and many people would find the Pad Go 2 a great offer.

The tablet has an all-metal body with a large display with premium properties - high brightness, 120Hz refresh rate, 68B colors, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision streaming. Add the four loud speakers and you are looking at some serious multimedia machine at a very affordable price.

Then there is the top-notch battery life, the easily likable OxygenOS, and the enhanced capabilities that come with the optional Stylo pen.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 is not a perfect device - there is no eSIM support, no magnets for the stylus, and the cameras are incredibly basic. But those are not deal-breakers. The Pad Go 2 is a sensibly-priced proposition, especially at that price. It's definitely worth considering if you are looking for a large tablet in this price bracket.
