OnePlus Pad Go 2 Price in India

Pricing details for the OnePlus Pad Go 2 are yet to be shared officially, but expectations place it under Rs 25,000 in India. That would make it slightly costlier than the first OnePlus Pad Go, which started at Rs 19,999, with the difference linked to the larger display, new Dimensity chipset, stylus support and added AI tools.

OnePlus 15R Specifications

On the hardware side, the OnePlus 15R is confirmed to use Qualcomm's 3nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. OnePlus states this is the first smartphone to launch globally with this chip. The phone will also integrate the new G2 Wi-Fi chip along with a separate Touch Response Chip for improved input handling.

The company has already confirmed a 7,400mAh battery for the OnePlus 15R, which will ship with OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16. The AMOLED display will support a 165Hz refresh rate, aimed at smoother scrolling and gaming. OnePlus has also announced IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, indicating strong resistance to dust and water across several testing standards.

On the camera front, the OnePlus 15R will feature a dual rear module. The main camera uses a 50-megapixel sensor, paired with an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens for wider scenes. On the front, a 32-megapixel camera will handle selfies and video calls. The phone will support 4K video recording at up to 120fps, aimed at smoother high-resolution footage.

OnePlus describes the OnePlus 15R Ace Edition as ideal for gamers who want to assert their "ultimate Ace" status, featuring a fiberglass back panel finished with a special coating that prominently imprints the word "Ace."

OnePlus Pad Go 2 Specifications

Under the surface, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 switches from the earlier Helio G99 chip to the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra. This change should help with smoother multitasking and better handling of heavier apps, though actual performance will be clear only after public use. Benchmarks suggest an 8GB RAM variant, which aligns with its productivity-focused pitch.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 will ship with OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16, giving buyers the latest software straight from the box. OnePlus has also mentioned TUV SUD certification for the tablet, adding a promise of consistent performance for up to four years, which is important for users planning to keep the device long term.

One major upgrade on the OnePlus Pad Go 2 is the display, which now measures 12.1 inches. The screen offers a 2800 x 1980 resolution and a 7:5 aspect ratio, which should feel comfortable for reading, browsing and running apps side by side. OnePlus lists an 88.5 per cent screen-to-body ratio, giving slimmer bezels than many budget rivals.

Powering the OnePlus Pad Go 2 is a 10,050mAh battery, which OnePlus says is tuned for long viewing sessions. Charging is rated at 33W SuperVOOC, but a faster 45W charger is bundled in the box, even though the tablet itself remains capped at 33W charging speeds for now.

On the software side, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 gains a set of AI tools designed to help with everyday tasks. Available features include AI Writer, AI Summary, AI Translation and AI Recorder. These sit alongside OnePlus' Open Canvas multitasking system, which is aimed at smoother split-screen workflows and easier management of multiple apps on the large display.
