OnePlus Pad Go 2 launched in India OnePlus has launched the OnePlus Pad Go 2 in the Indian market. The new tablet from the company has been announced with various offers

The first one is the launch of the OnePlus Pad Go 2, which has been launched in the Indian market as “do it all” Android tablet catering specifically to the needs of the younger lot like school-going children, creative professionals, or those who are just seeking entertainment. This launch is also being considered the entry of the brand in the 5G Android tablet market.

Here is a detailed and useful specification, price, sale time, and best purchase offer you should be aware of when buying the latest Galaxy Note series from Samsung.

1) What’s new and why people are talking about it

The thing with the headlines is:
Larger 12.1-inch “ReadFit” display with 2.8K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Big battery: 10,050mAh battery, supports 33W fast charging.

MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra (4nm) processor, which should offer a substantial boost to performance as well as power optimization.

Comes with support for OnePlus Pad Go 2 Stylo (normally sold separately) in order to get support for handwriting, drawing, and quick notes.

A model powered by the latest Android 16, along with multitasking aids in the form of Open Canvas and AI writing and recording capability.

In other words, “it’s trying to be a ‘big-screen productivity tablet’ for a mid-range price—not leap to the prices that current tablets often command.”
2) OnePlus Pad Go 2 price in India for all models
Sources reporting the launch of the device have mentioned that it is available in three variants:

8GB + 128GB (Wi-Fi) –

8GB + 256GB (Wi-Fi) –

8GB + 256GB (Wi-Fi + 5G) –

Colours

And importantly: it comes only in Shadow Black finishes, 5G.cellular.

3). Sale date and availability in India (both Online and Offline).

Sale starts
Open sales begin on the 18th of December, 2025 (India). Some sources have been more specific, saying that the open sales begin at 12 PM.

Where you can buy it
Availability is broken down across platforms and types:

OnePlus Website + OnePlus Store App

OnePlus Experience Stores
OnePlus

Their retail partners are as follows: Retail partners like Reliance Digital, Croma, Vijay Sales

Amazon / Flipkart division (very important!)

According to the comprehensive availability note:
Base Wi-Fi(8+128): on Amazon + Flipkart

Wi-Fi (8+256) :

Wi-Fi + 5G (8+256): on

Which means that if you are looking for the 5G variant specifically, the online retail store to keep your eyes on is Amazon.

4) Launch offers and deals (how low can the price go?)

The introductory offers differ marginally based on the medium, along with the way the publication reports them, but the basic cuts are:

A) Bank discount + limited-time discount

₹2,000 instant bank discount for select bank credit cards

₹1,000 promotional discount
Together, this brings the starting price down to as low as ₹23,999 from ₹26,999, as per *Gadgets

B) Free/intro stylus offer (big headline offer)

There are multiple launch offers mentioned, including an opening “Stylo offer worth ₹3,999” which is free to compare to some other launches.

Now, here’s the nuance:
OnePlus Pad Go 2 Stylo listing on the OnePlus India website displays an MRP of ₹4,999.

So, coming back to practicality: While the stylus might be priced at ₹4,999 in terms of MRP pricing, the market launch freebie value/valuation being quoted might be ₹3,999. There might be different pages putting up different notes regarding offer value vs. MRP pricing regarding the stylus as well—for those interested in the stylus, the best bet would be to see if it’s being bundled along while making payment.

D) OnePlus Early Bird RDD promo

As a OnePlus RCC account holder who used the “Notify Me” route, the OnePlus Terms and Conditions state that you must not:

“Old user”- Discount: RCC L2 – RCC L4:

“New user”: RCC L1
Discount of ₹800 off coupon

…and it is stackable with direct discount savings (to a certain extent).

Accordingly, the optimal “deal stack” may also depend on:

Discount eligibility for your bank card
Availability of limited-time discounts

Whether the stylus bundle is active

Whether you have an RCC coupon

5) Display: what “2.8K 120Hz” actually means
The OnePlus Pad Go 2 comes with a 12.1-inch liquid crystal display that has a 2.8K (1980×2800) resolution and up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The combination of the display features mentioned has the following effects on the average user

1) Reading and Documents

The bonus pixels (2.8K) + the productivity-oriented aspect ratio (which OnePlus dubs “ReadFit”) are intended to provide more real estate for text display, eliminating the need to zoom in and out and scroll constantly when reading PDFs, eBooks, and notes.

2) Smooth

120Hz enables faster and smoother operation of the UI in the following:

fast scrolling (Chrome/Docs

social feeds

Animations
stylus writing (where latency is significant)

3) Video + streaming

Reports indicate that this handset supports Dolby Vision and a Quad-speaker setup; all this indicates that OnePlus is catering to OTT and YouTube consumers with its offerings and is providing them with a “big screen experience.

The values of the brightness vary based on the source, but a general idea if you will be spending most of your time in a classroom, at home, or in a café would be that the screen should be adequately bright. Brightness is a characteristic that, while not an issue for most users, may pose a problem when faced with bright outdoor lighting

6).performance Processor: Dimensity 7300-Ultra (4nm

Comes with MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra SoC that is based on the 4nm process. Boasts 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM along with UFS storage that can go up to 256GB

“What you can realistically expect”

What you can

For the target user, this means:

“Smooth multitasking,” as in “everyday multitasking,” (notes +

Improved efficiency (reduced heat, more consistent battery life)

More efficient app loading compared to traditional mid-range tablet processors
It is not marketed as a gaming-grade tablet PC, although it should be able to perform gaming and other productive tasks such as document editing and online learning.
7) Battery & charging: 10,050mAh is “the big deal” here
OnePlus Pad Go 2 comes with a 10,050mAh battery and supports 33W SUPERVOOC-fast charging.

Reported battery/charging issues include:

Video playback up to 15 hours

Until 60 hours of stand-by time

Approximately 129 minutes for a full charge

6.5W reverse wired charging

Which group benefits most in terms of the battery size?

Students carrying a tablet computer to class all day

People who are fond of traveling but don’t need to carry a portable charger along with them
Users watching a lot of content (Lectures + OTT)

People who use the stylus a lot (screen time goes up)

8) Stylus (Stylo) support: who it’s for and what it adds

OnePlus is incorporating “Stylo support” into a big marketing push in the Pad Go 2.
“What’s reported

4096 Pressure Levels

Handwriting recognition capability, quick notes functionality, and productivity shortcuts (software experience)

The stylus is usually sold separately

However, at the time of launch, you can have it free / bundled, limited as mentioned above (offer dependent).

Application examples

Manuscript lecture notes, particularly if you are a better writer than typist

Marking up PDFs (cram school, tutorial resources

Rough Sketches, Diagrams, Mind Maps

Document signing promptly

If you are aware that you’ll use the stylus functionality, it is important to shortlist models that come along with Stylo, as it’s an additional costly affair if you go ahead and purchase a stylus (Price: MRP

9) Camera, sound, connectivity – “Tablet essentials”

Cameras

8MP rear

8MP front

This is pure tablet territory: good for video scanning and video chat, not designed to be a smartphone camera replacement.

Audio

Quad speakers are mentioned in various reports, focusing on the audio to be louder and have a more extensive range.

Connectivity
Wi-Fi models + a 5G model

The support listed includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and USB-C

But if you have other plans for it and not just a home Wi-Fi connection (e.g., a college campus or while traveling and without a hotspot), then the 5G one would be the one you should consider, although it’s available in just one color and is Amazon-related primarily on the web.

10) Software experience: Oxygen OS 16 + Productivity + AI Tools

OnePlus Pad Go 2 has Oxygen OS 16 operating system with Android 16. Other key specifications and details highlighted in the reports include:
Open Canvas Multitasking (Split Screen + Floating Windows type of workflow)
Tools such as AI Writer, AI Recorder, and editing tools (varies in name with report type, yet another mention of AI productivity).

Many consumers view software on a computer tablet as the reason the gadget actually has some use (other than being a large phone). If you are the kind of person who:

PDF readings while writing notes,

watches lectures while browsing,

or writes & researches simultaneously,

Therefore, in the Open Canvas multitasking scenario, the significance of Open Canvas-style multitasking transcends
