Today, OnePlus focuses on value-for-money devices with the unveiling of the OnePlus 15R as well as a new Go tablet and a light smartwatch. We’ve discussed phones in a separate article – now let’s take a look at tablets and see.
oneplus pad go 2
The OnePlus Pad Go 2 brings a larger 12.1″ display, up from the original’s 11.35″. It has the same 7:5 aspect ratio, which the company has dubbed “ReadFit”, but the new display is slightly sharper (284ppi). It’s a high-quality panel to boot, with 98% DCI-P3 coverage, 900 nits HBM mode, and Dolby Vision support for movies and TV shows.
Speaking of, the larger 10,500mAh battery (up from 8,000mAh) can deliver up to 15 hours of video playback and offers up to 60 days of standby. The battery supports 33W SuperVOOC charging technology as before and is capable of reverse charging.

The Pad Go 2 also gets a performance upgrade with the Dimensity 7300-Ultra chipset. It’s a 4nm chip, whereas the original Pad Go used a 6nm Helio G99. The Dimensity chip features new CPU cores (A78/A55 vs A76/A55) and a new GPU (Mali-G615 MC2 vs Mali-G57 MC2).
OnePlus has enabled its powerful Open Canvas multitasking system on this affordable slate. Additionally, the optional stylus, called the Stylo, provides low-latency, high-sensitivity drawing on the larger 12.1″ display. It has a fast-charging battery – a 10-minute charge is enough to use the Stylo for half a day. OnePlus’ OxygenOS offers a suite of AI tools, including AI Writer, AI Recorder, and AI Summarizer.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 comes in two colors: Lavender Drift and Shadow Black. The latter is available with optional 5G connectivity – it’s also the first OnePlus tablet with a SIM card tray, if you prefer that instead of an eSIM.
Alternatively, the tablet can borrow the phone’s 5G connection. As long as your phone and your tablet are close to each other, the tablet can automatically connect through the phone. Compared to normal hotspot sharing, this system is 30% more energy efficient.
The OnePlus Pad Go 2 is going up for pre-order today and will be available starting December 24 on OnePlus.com and partner retailers. Check out the prices below:

oneplus watch lite
Despite the “Lite” moniker, the OnePlus Watch Lite has a premium build with a 316L stainless steel body that measures just 8.9mm in thickness. It’s thinner than most smartwatches and is the thinnest OnePlus Watch to date. The case is available in silver steel and black steel, both paired with fluoroelastomer straps.

The watch features a 1.46″ OLED display that can go up to 3,000 nits in sports mode. And if your sport of choice is in water, the Aqua Touch feature can detect wet fingers.
Note that this is not a Wear OS watch, but runs a proprietary OS. It has some disadvantages, but there is also a big advantage – the battery lasts up to 10 days. And it charges quickly, giving you 24 hours of juice in 10 minutes. The watch can be paired with both Android and iOS phones. Dual pairing also allows it to connect to two Android devices simultaneously.
The OnePlus Watch Lite supports 100+ workout modes, 12 of which are called “Professional Sports Mode”. These include running, tennis, jumping rope and badminton. Badminton mode analyzes swing speed, shot delivery and stroke type.
Running mode takes advantage of accurate dual-band GPS tracking (L1/L5) and features a new lactate threshold detection feature. For workouts at the gym, the watch can transmit your heart rate to compatible devices.

The watch also offers advanced health tracking and wellness modes. It has a 60 second wellness overview feature. Sleep tracking analyzes blood oxygen, breathing, and heart rate throughout the night. Skin temperature is also taken into account. Heart health insights include heart rate, resting heart rate, and SpO2 detection.
Like the tablet, the OnePlus Watch Lite is up for pre-order today and will be available from December 24th. The watch costs £180 / €180 and you can get the charging base for £30.
During the pre-order period, you’ll get a £20 discount and £80 worth of free OnePlus Buds (though stock is limited). There’s also a £20 trade-in bonus, plus an extra 10% off for verified student and corporate buyers.
Note that you can combine your OnePlus 15R purchase with a Pad Go 2 and get 35% off the tablet. If you choose watch then you will get 40% discount on Watch Lite. Additionally, a 2-in-1 cable (which charges the phone and watch simultaneously) is available at half the price.
