After weeks of teasers, the OnePlus Pad Go finally became official in India today. At the core, it’s a stripped-down version of the first tablet that OnePlus released back in April of this year. The tone-down specs kept the price tag low, making the new tablet a worthy consideration if you’re looking for a budget-friendly pad.
Display and Design of the OnePlus Pad Go
The all-new OnePlus Pad Go features a very similar design to the OnePlus Pad. It has a flat edge and a unique Oreo-style camera cutout on the back. However, unlike the OnePlus Pad, the new tablet features a tone-tone design. And the only color option that’s available is Mint Green.
Nonetheless, on the front, the OnePlus Pad Go features an 11.35-inch IPS LCD screen. This display features a 2.4K resolution and has a 90Hz refresh rate. It also features TÜV Rheinland certification for blue light and has support for DC dimming. These two features make the display of the tablet eye friendly.
On that note, OnePlus has packed a dedicated Bedtime Mode in the Pad Go. This mode can reduce the brain-stimulating light coming from the device, making it easier to work and play on the tablet before bedtime.
Besides that, the OnePlus Pad Go features a 7:5 aspect ratio, the same aspect ratio as the OnePlus Pad. This aspect ratio makes the tablet offer more screen space, allowing you to get a better viewing experience when you are browsing the web, playing games, and reading books.
Also, the display of the Pad Go features 7.5mm bezels, which is pretty low for a tablet of this price point. And thanks to the slim bezels, the tablet can offer an 86.4% screen-to-body ratio.
