A MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra processor powers the Go 2, with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This is the only configuration available. I believe 128GB of storage should be enough for most people, but the lack of expandability is disappointing, given that other tablets, including the Idea Tab Pro, support memory cards. Genshin Impact, for example, needs more than 40GB of storage, so the Pad Go 2’s drive could fill up quickly if you load it up with apps and games.

I ran a series of benchmarks to objectively evaluate the Pad Go 2’s performance against the Idea Tab Pro, which has a MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor with 8GB of RAM, and the pricier Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ ($649.99), which uses a Samsung Exynos 1580 processor paired with 8GB of RAM. For some perspective, MediaTek says its 7000 series is for upper midrange devices, while its 8000 series is for premium devices.
The OnePlus fell behind the Lenovo in CPU performance on Geekbench 6, which measures raw processing power. The Go 2 scored 1,022 on the single-core test and 3,112 on the multi-core one. Meanwhile, the Lenovo tablet reached 1,406 and 4,204 on the same tests, respectively. The Galaxy Tab falls between the two, with 1,358 on the single-core test and 3,886 on the multi-core test.

In the PCMark Work 3.0 test, which measures everyday mobile performance, the Go 2 was outclassed again. It scored 10,190 compared with the Idea Tab’s 19,029. Again, the FE+ sits in the middle with a score of 13,361.
To assess graphics performance, I ran the 3DMark Wild Life test. The Pad Go 2 produced 19.4 frames per second (fps), while the S10 FE+ reached 29.14fps. The Lenovo did not run this test.
