For fans wanting a powerful and budget-friendly tablet, the wait is finally over. The release date for the OnePlus Pad Go 2 has officially been announced by the company: December 17, 2025. The launch event is set to go live in Bengaluru, India, and alongside it will be another major unveiling: the OnePlus 15R smartphone-a strong end-of-year push by the brand.
This second-generation Pad Go aims to make premium tablet features accessible in the mid-range category, building on the good reception of its predecessor. It puts an end to months of speculation and leaks as all eyes look toward the December event for full pricing and availability details.
Dual Launch Event: OnePlus 15R and Pad Go 2
With the launching of the OnePlus Pad Go 2, along with the flagship killer OnePlus 15R, it shows how serious the company is about the tablet market. It will be on December 17, just when the brand completes 12 years, making the event a double celebration for the global technology world.
The Pad Go 2 is strategically positioned to fill a gap that exists between the entry level OnePlus Pad Lite and the more premium OnePlus Pad 2. With a blend of high-end features at a competitive price point, the tablet serves as a key device for students, professionals, and casual users needing versatility and portability. For the first time, the launch will be streamed worldwide, ensuring that the official specs and price reveal reach every corner of the globe where the OnePlus community resides.
Expected Features: Significant Upgrades Confirmed
Although the complete specifications will be detailed on the official OnePlus Pad Go 2 release date, the company has already teased several significant upgrades that make this a compelling second-generation device.
Display: The Pad Go 2 is confirmed to boast a large 12.1-inch display with a sharp resolution of 2.8K. With a panel that covers 98% DCI P3 color and a peak brightness of 900 nits, this high-resolution panel assures users of a great watching and creation experience.
Stylus Support: One of the major inclusions of this series is the confirmed support for OnePlus Pad Go 2 Stylo with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, which greatly enhances the utility of the tablet for note-taking or digital art and should help it be more competitive in the budget productivity space.
5G Connectivity: It has been confirmed that a variant of the Pad Go will be available, for the first time in the series, with 5G connectivity. It will be made available on the top-end variant to truly enable internet on the go without having to rely solely on Wi-Fi.
Software: The tablet will be shipped with the new Open Canvas software with enhanced split-screen and multitasking capabilities, taking advantage of the new 2.8K display for improved focus and productivity.
These confirmed specifications point towards a serious effort on the part of OnePlus in raising the bar for mid-range tablet experience with features borrowed from higher price brackets.
Price and Availability Post Launch
The original OnePlus Pad Go launched for around ₹19,999 for the base Wi-Fi variant. Considering some major specification bumps for its successor, industry analysts estimate that the starting price for the OnePlus Pad Go 2 should hover slightly above, most probably in the range of ₹20,000 to ₹22,000. The 5G variant will cost more.
Historically, OnePlus has kept the time between launch events and market availability at a minimum. Given its unveiling on December 17, it won’t be long before the Pad Go 2 actually hits store shelves in India and the rest of the world, probably in the same week or the first week of the year. The new tablet will become available through several prominent online stores, as well as the official OnePlus shop.
Although the OnePlus Pad Go 2 release date marks the arrival of a serious contender in the affordable tablet segment, boasting a premium display, support for a stylus, and an option for 5G, it’s supposed to give incredible value for money.
