OnePlus Pad Go Review | A (Bit Too) Budget Tablet

Reviewing the OnePlus Pad Go, a more budget-friendly version of the original Android tablet that just launched in the UK. This £299 skinny slab is cheaper, but the OnePlus Pad Go also compromises with performance and that display, which is less stunning than the first tablet. Gamers, movie fans, photo editors etc should look to spend a bit more instead.
The OnePlus Pad Go still looks and feels good, with a slightly more compact design and a fresh two-tone finish. On the software front it's OxygenOS 13, with old Android - no Android 14 action just yet. Here's hoping that upgrade comes soon!
And also, sad news on the accessory front. The OnePlus Pad Go doesn't support that keyboard or stylus of the original tablet. So no, you can't turn it into a mini makeshift laptop on the go.
Gaming is possible on the OnePlus Pad Go although you'll want to stick to more basic apps like Call of Duty and PubG. Anything particularly taxing like Genshin Impact is a no-go. Battery life however seems to be better than before, possibly thanks to that more basic, energy efficient Helio chipset.

That screen is so orange it can run for president

[@AndrewDaley-lr9qg]

The eye protection mode is on full. Why he left it on its beyond me. Maybe he didn't get paid enough to review it. 🇬🇧

[@sbradyork]

But it's a good idea that it will never interfere with children though

[@franklingoodwin]

He doesn't get paid to review (unless you mean from KZbin adsense). You sound salty he didn't rate it as high as you'd have want him to lol ​@@AndrewDaley-lr9qg

Ikr!

[@rkwsia]

[@rnrbnl7097]

The number of comments about the screen color shows you how they are actually NOT watching the whole video. It was discussed on 5:08 and you still insist that eye protection mode is on smh.

[@Josh-Tech-Reviews]

Too many tablet reviews - at least you do a simple, honest review. Thank you.

[@febryanvaldo]

The eye comfort mode is ON 😂😂😂

[@MRJLS15]

Ouuu nice video always appreciate the insight

[@justjuniorjaw]

Love how many people comment on the redder screen when Uncle Spurt talks about it in the video itself at 5:08 😅

[@parshakamarsh]

It still looks orange after he alters it

[@SabinTV-NP]

@@parshakamarsh Exactly what he said in the video

[@franklingoodwin]

Surely the screen is defective. Making it that red would be crazy. Either defective screen or a software bug that means you can't turn off reading mode even though it says it's off.

[@franklingoodwin]

@@inisipisTV I already watched it. I'm still not convinced. Even after he turned off eye comfort it was still more orange than it should be.

Wow you actually showed where your Wallpaper comes from. People was asking it since forever! Now the fun part is whether the viewers can find it within the video~

[@bonusbaby801]

Is the setting Uncle Spurt has, or does the screen on that tablet look orange? Oh...He just answered my question😂

[@xtwmx]

You sure it's not defective or buggy considering how red the screen is?

[@Twilight4912]

Those who wants same wallpapers like his youtube thumbnails he showed at 4:50 Hence screct revealed 😊

[@SAMURAI777BR]

How does he get that wallpaper?

[@mr.j5112]

People who commented that "eye-protection/reading mode" is enabled must've stopped watching or didn't pay attention to the video once they saw how warm the display looks from the start.

[@justsomedogwithamoustache.9324]

That was when eye reading mode was on

[@alistairstewart9975]

Definitely a bug in the screen software or the screen is faulty 🤔

[@fifteentwelve]

Did you get a faulty unit? The screen looks awfully orange-tinted

[@jackwilson5542]

Maybe he has it in reading mode.

[@max_mwangi]

Check timestamp 5:08 for your answer

Did u turn on eye comfort mode or something? The display looks too warm.

I've been using it for the last few weeks and honestly it performs very well. For my use case so far it's great. My screen isnt orange so not sure whats happening to your unit.

can u draw on it? i'm looking a for a decent non-ipad tablet for art and drawing but i don't know what to choose :( (budget around 500$us)

[@DoodleDan]

Here are some: Xiaomi pad 5 pro 12'4 (12'4 , €330+€80) Tab s7 fe (12'4 , €400+pen included) Xiaomi pad 6 (11'0 , €300+€80) Tab s6 lite (10'4 , €220+pen included) You could probably also find the tab s7 plus (12'4) in almost new condition at just around your budget. There's also that new 11.5 huawei pad specialized for artists with an insane pen and display, aswell as a dedicated procreate clone which destroys all the ones mentioned above, no idea how to buy it though lol. Samsung has a better pen but worse performance which you'll only notice when using a bunch of layers or drawing on a large canvas

[@DragunnitumGaming]

@@DoodleDan thank youuuu

[@ezail9159]

@@DragunnitumGaming I would recommend you getting an ipad for drawing if you are welling to spend 100$ or so more, but if not, Your next best option is samsung 9 FE you can find it for 450$ with the pen included

[@rolfathan]

The lowered price isn't worth how much they cut back here. Thanks for the review. That warmth level is honestly gross. They need to fix that, but even then, just lacking.

[@justsomedogwithamoustache.9324]

He got the eye comfort mode on

[@thedarkknight1971]

£260!!! You'd be better off buying a 2nd hand great condition Samsung Tab S7/S7FE (plenty about) and, you'll still get OS updates for it for that price! Better screen, better specs, WAY BETTER SOUND... Just better over all... Heck, even my old Tab S5e is STILL performing well, and I'm STILL enjoying that gorgeous OLED screen too! 😏 😎🇬🇧

[@NikholskyNikholsky]

Honor pad 9, realme pad 2, xiaomi pad 6, lenovo p12 are all good

[@beckinbinderin]

The price seems a little silly, when compared to the Xiaomi Pad 6 or Honor Pad 9. I'd imagine that the price will quickly drop.

[@GabrielTobing]

1:04 Yes, megumin is the perfect size isn't she? XD Hahahhahaa

[@Unan1mouz]

Whats the aspect ratio of that screen? Looks wider than usual

[@Marc-OliverSchmidt]

7:5

[@justsomedogwithamoustache.9324]

The fact that these people don't know what eye comfort mode is baffles me and no he never turns it off, he just lowers the vividness slider which is a different thing. The fact that Uncle Spurt can't turn off the eye comfort shield is quite funny tho.

[@MobileDecay]

It's a Liquid Trump screen! 😮
