When you hear Android tablets, you might feel an emotion that is kind of like
So it's nice when a company like OnePlus or Samsung
But in this case OnePlus comes out with a tablet
That makes you maybe maybe it gets rid of that emotion a little bit makes you feel a little bit more at ease. It goes
Okay, and in this case the specific product that's causing that effect in your body is the OnePlus pad go-to
now I looked at the OnePlus pad
non-go any number a while back and I remember thinking this is pretty nice
Although a lot of it was made me think of the iPad then OnePlus released the pad go and now we have the go-to
Which is sort of like a more budget-friendly version of that
So we'll have to see whether they retained some of those Apple influences, but we can also
Look at it through any any kind of lens other than that as well. It's a tablet. It's its own thing. Oh, that's a tight sleeve. Oh
I Have thoughts immediately, but before I go deep on that. What else is in the box here?
An envelope with a secret letter from OnePlus saying do you like me circle?
Yes, or no, I will do that later a power adapter with a USB a
Port on it 45 watts super-vook apparently a red cable that is I'm gonna guess it's three and a half feet long
What do you guys think what do we think, huh?
But guess what there's also accessories that go with the one plus pad go-to
Pro no without the drop the last one the one plus pad go-to
Stylo I think there's been some other products that are called the stylo and it just rubs me the wrong way
I want to say steelo because that's French or but then stylo makes me think of the gorilla song don't play it
Copyright, but you can imagine it. That's a loud. There's a USB-C port here for charging and this
Stylo can apparently be used for some interesting features that we'll get into later
But the overall feel of it is pretty nice It's got like a pencil about a thick pencil size got an extra tip there. That is thick. Look at this
Look at that. That's a thick manual in there
And the one plus pad go-to folio case. I'm a little disappointed because apparently
One plus wanted this thing to be really good for productivity
Yet here we have a folio case. How is this gonna help productivity? It looks kind of cool though. I like the see-through design
Maybe we'll see Okay
It's giving me half like Transparent tech like cool vibes and half like kitchen utensil like it feels like a slap-chop
Oh, it's a snug fit. How do we feel about that? You see someone walking around with that? Are you like whoa?
That guy's serious. That's not a toy or if it is a toy
I want to play with it. I kind of like the shininess of that lens to the edges
Tablets are about fashion a big part of them about fashion. Let's be serious. You can kind of prop it up
I'm guessing like that. Oh
And there's a clip for the pen up there for the stylo
Okay, nice That's some that's somewhat
Functional I could do some work with that now. It's time to actually take a look at the tablet itself
So we got a 12.1 inch display which is slightly bigger than the previous pad go and it's got a
2,800 by 1980 resolution for a PPI of 284 and an interesting
7 by 5 Aspect ratio. I don't think I've ever heard of that before but they're coming up with all sorts of wacky things these days also
120 Hertz refresh rate, which is an improvement as well, but we'll get into that when we actually used a device
on this side, we've got the volume up and volume down as well as
Maybe a mic on the bottom slash right side
We got a USB-C port two speaker grills another mic maybe on the other long side
Absolutely nothing and on the top slash left side
We've got two more speaker grills and a power button that I'm guessing is not a fingerprint reader because it's quite thin
But we'll find out later. I also forgot to mention on the front there
We've got the front-facing camera, which is 8 megapixels and on the back
We've got the 1 plus logo and another 8 megapixel camera facing backwards this time very
Very smooth. Do we know anything about the materials? They say anything fancy about that. They say it channels pure confidence and classic cool
It it well it does channels confidence and pure classic cool, which is true. It doesn't seem that bad for fingerprints
Nice and matte. I mean like you can see there's a little bit on there, but overall pretty good
And I also like that the it's got this kind of like flat iPad, you know flat-edge design
But it's like a little bowed out which feels pleasant to the touch. It pleases me
Wow better move on from that by turning it on and seeing what it's like to use right after this message from our sponsor
Okay, let's turn this thing on and see what we're dealing with. Ooh
Ooh smooth, I feel like I can see that 120 Hertz. You can't though. Ha ha ha loser
I'm sorry. Even though this is like a more of a budget tablet
I'm I'm feeling like this is already sort of a premium experience. Ah, no meta right in my face, please
Oh, and I didn't mention before there's a little button on the bottom of the stylo that I just found
Features, please tell me about the features tap to switch tools take a partial screenshot
Okay, swipe from the upper right corner to take notes. I like all these
Okay, so what if I press this button right here double-click? Nope
Swipe from the top none of that is working
Okay, well it lied to me. Maybe none of those were turned on it showed me that I could do them
But none of them were actually turned on annotate
Screen off note on yes, please
Annotate there it is See, I just I love features like this. I'm like, oh, I just got a cool idea for an elephant drawing
I'm gonna send that to my lovely wife
What it's an it look there's a head in the trunk save his image and that I'll cherish that forever
I like that. I like features like this This is fun and then the other one that I thought was cool that I've reminded me of the surface pro something
I don't know back in the NCI X days I feel like I talked about there was a there was a surface there
You could double-click on the pen and it would open up one note right away
And I'm sure there are other devices with stuff like that But double-tapping the screen while it's locked just brings up the notes and you can draw
You know like an elephant to send to someone when I did the one plus pad
Not go or two I made a lot of comparisons to iPad now you look at this and tell me that this isn't inspired by the iPad
Notes app. Okay, you tell you you have the gall to leave a comment. I respect you some other things about the stylo
It's got 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, which is kind of your standard that you that you get with these things
I mean you can see the responsiveness It's pretty good like I don't feel like there's any sort of delay there overall
I'd say that whoa, I don't even know what I'm doing, but it seems very responsive
I mean you can kind of get a better chance better look at like the latency there where it's dragging behind the pen tool a little bit
But overall I don't this doesn't feel sluggish at all
It feels like a more premium device than it appears to be
apparently the one plus notes app has the ability to
Calculate stuff like this with handwriting just like the iPad calculator app
Which I thought was pretty cool and I wanted to check out but we can't figure out how to get it to work
But they claim that they have it so Let us know in the comments if you got it working on your one-plus device try out your stylus
This is interesting. I feel like I haven't seen a
Focus on this for quite some time. I actually do want to try it
right
Yeah, I got it scratch out text to delete
Delete I feel like I missed this not that I would ever use it and I'm like this is actually wait I take it back
I don't know if this is nice. It's weird. Who writes with pens and like makes a big deal about making like writing with pens now in
2025 maybe this is a reaction to all their Remarkables and the e-paper tablets of the world like okay, so you like pens you like paper like pretend you're writing on paper
Even though it feels very much like you're writing on a tablet. There's no texture to this screen or anything
Anyway, there are kind of cool ways for you to use a tablet that
You know imitates the efficiency of typing on a keyboard, but can't quite get you there
It's nice to see when companies are thinking about ways to optimize your experience and make things a little nicer to make it
Nice to them. I'm gonna try and use this and see what it's like
LTT Store
Dot com It worked I
Might use that instead of using the like finger typing on the keyboard overall
I haven't seen I haven't had any kind of complaints about performance with this thing so far
It seems to be like extremely responsive the chip seems to be keeping up. It's a
Dementity MediaTek Dementity 7300 ultra which you know
Is not the craziest thing in the world Labs ran it through our standard testing sweet for Android tablets
And we do not have Labs results for the predecessor to this the one plus pad go
We found some online so you can kind of compare those we do have Labs results for the tab
S11 ultra and the iPad pro m5 from when we did those videos
They didn't retest them for this video But I just wanted to show it to give you guys a ballpark of like where this thing sits kind of in the landscape
According to that it seems like a pretty weak processor So I don't I don't know if you're gonna be able to do it be doing like professional work on this thing
But I don't think that's the kind of device that this is I feel like for what you're gonna be doing with a tablet like this
Maybe this is fine. It hasn't caused me issues so far while I'm here
I also mentioned it's got 8 gigabytes of RAM and it only comes with 128 gigs of
onboard storage in the US Elsewhere in the world you can get a 256 gig
Option but not in America as punishment. All right. I think it's about time to play some crabs on this thing
Don't look at the ad. I've got big expectations here. Okay. I think the one plus pad previous one had good speakers
I think I don't remember Dang, that's loud while we're here. I'll also say that this display has 98% DC IP3 color coverage
So maybe that's why these colors are looking kind of poppy
It's nice things look sharp Let me tell you right now. I'm not missing an iPad at all. This does not seem like a cheap
Android tablet experience right now
Those speakers are pretty good It's max it out a little sound worse. It's just a bit too sharp. It's like very loud
So like if you're worried about volume, don't be because it's very loud
Hold on
Now I don't this is not an objective benchmark, it's just the Riley what Riley remembers benchmark, but I
Emotionally, I feel like that might even be better than the the one plus pad
not go Speakers now the only question is is it are there actual speakers in all four of these speaker grills?
Or did they pull an apple and only have one of these speaker grills populated with with speakers? Oh
My gosh Those are all they have four speakers nice job one plus overall. Wow. I feel like I feel like that's one of the most satisfying
Crab rave tests I've experienced in a while and how long could this tablet play a video like that?
Labs found out in our standard battery discharge test the one plus pad go-to got a
14 hours and 36 minutes which is pretty close to the company's claim of 15 hours of
Video playback so pretty good job there. That's fully discharging. It's
10,050 milliamp hour battery, which is a pretty decent size for a tablet one plus says that using their included
Supervook charger zero to 100 should take two hours and nine minutes
However, our Labs team weren't able to get anywhere under two hours and 38 minutes after multiple tests
Meanwhile our standard anchor nano two third-party charger did it in two hours and 24 minutes
So just be aware those are the kind of numbers you're looking at for charging now as for brightness
Actually, I didn't talk about this at all, but their rated max brightness is
600 nits, but then they say that you can get to 900 using the high brightness mode
Which I'm not sure exactly how to activate that but apparently it's part of just this like auto brightness situation
I don't know maybe when you go outside and it recognizes that there's like so much light of like super boost up to
900 although Labs did not see it get up to 900 in their tests. They got it up to 876 which is pretty close
Okay, one thing I forgot to test is multitasking It's a come-along way with tablets in general in recent years androids added a bunch and
iPad has definitely added a bunch to make it more like a desktop situation
Apparently one plus has their own multitasking software here where swiping down with two fingers like I just did parts the red C
So you can see through the other side It's Google apps and then you can pick all right. Let's say
Maps I'm gonna have YouTube on one side maps on the other side and just swiping down with two fingers brought that up
And then you can have it in a standard split-screen mode
And then if you want one of those to be a floating window four finger pinch brings it to a floating window
Can we pin that to one side? Oh, we can pin it to the sidebar. Anyway, it's nice to see one plus kind of
Having an option there. Although. I don't know how this is much different from
Like the default Android one. It seems like it's kind of just that but maybe hey
I don't want a slander and I'm not buying this tablet for your mom
But just you know for any of the other moms out there. We're gonna check out the camera
This doesn't give me supreme confidence is how this photo is gonna look. There's that one that was that's what the rear cam
I'm gonna do a front hmm. I hope that there's them there better be some good software going on here
Okay, that definitely looks better than the than the preview image
But it's not it's not a great camera by any stretch of the imagination colors are pretty muted the sharpness is there
It's sharpened it up a little bit compared to the preview, but you know
It's serviceable. I'd like to see a little bit more color in my face
But maybe that's a me issue and then the rear cameras. Oh
This one is blurry this one couldn't really
Figure out some of the details over there. It wasn't sure what to focus on
But in the kitchen photo everything looks pretty sharp. Okay video real quick. Hey, I'm just out here with the crew
We're filming we're filming on location. Can't wait to get home though. It has my hot drinks
Okay, ready. What do you guys think about what Riley just said though?
Oh no Interestingly the rear camera just looks kind of worse than the than the the front-facing one
What does that look like? Does this look different? It should be like the same
Wow. Oh, wow. Yeah, it looks like more green. It looks worse
Interesting actually that makes a lot of sense most of the time
You're not gonna be filming stuff with your iPad out like that that you're using this for zoom calls or whatever
You're gonna look nice on those just don't try to show your grandma. What you're looking at. She will not like it
So that's the one plus pad go-to in its entirety
I covered absolutely everything you could possibly want to know about this thing, but the most important thing is the price
It's four hundred dollars, which is not bad overall. I had a good experience with it
I didn't experience any kind of slowdowns Some of the settings and I wanted to use some features and they're a little confusing in this sort of like fast-paced scenario
But I feel like if I had time to kind of dive into the settings and look at the tutorials of it makes sense
So four hundred bucks for a pretty mid-budget pretty premium feeling
Ironically Android tablet I'd say oh and the speakers. Do you guys remember the speakers and the display? It's pretty good
I'm not recommending it or anything, but that was fun one plus
Pretty good job and pretty good job to you for watching the whole video
Hey, you know how you could get even more points in the in the championships watch another video from ShortCircuit like
The previous video that I did on the other one plus pad and subscribe
