FULL STORY
======================================================================

OnePlus is releasing two almost new products, including a new Lifestyle 
Edition of its OnePlus Watch 2 , while also bringing its mid-range tablet  
the OnePlus Pad Go  to Europe on April 23. 

The exact specs of the OnePlus Watch 2 Lifestyle Edition aren't confirmed, 
however, its believed to use the same hardware and software as the existing 
OnePlus Watch 2, which launched in February. That said, it's expected to 
feature a new look, and could include a new design, strap, and color, which 
better align with its lifestyle moniker. 

Unfortunately, OnePlus is keeping the new look under wraps for now, with the 
only official image available giving very little away, save for the same 
distinct barrel downplaying host to the crown and button. But beyond that any 
questions you have around what makes this a Lifestyle Edition will have to 
remain unanswered until its launch. 

Conversely, we know more about the OnePlus Pad Go, as it was previously 
released in India on October 20, 2023. The Pad Go is a cheaper version of the 
original OnePlus Pad , released in April last year, trading off some of the 
standard models more powerful hardware in the pursuit of a more affordable 
price. 

One of these trade-offs is that the OnePlus Pad Go swaps the standard Pads 
more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9000 for a more modest Helio G99  built on a 
less-efficient 6nm process and running at a lower clock speed, to boot. 

The screen on the OnePlus Pad Go is a similarly-sized 11-inch panel, with a 
90Hz refresh rate, a 1720x2408 resolution and a 400-nit typical brightness. 
Thats the same size and 7:5 aspect ratio used on the original OnePlus Pad, 
but with a lower refresh rate and resolution. 

Much like the OnePlus Pad, the Pad Go comes in just one configuration, with 
8GB RAM paired with 128GB storage. The battery is also reduced between 
models, from 9,510mAh down to 8,000mAh, sporting slightly slower 33W charging 
compared to the original OnePlus Pads faster 67W speeds. 

It isnt all reduced specs though, with the OnePlus Pad Go featuring LTE 
connectivity, allowing you to stay connected without Wi-Fi, plus theres a 
microSD slot for expanding storage; something the standard OnePlus Pad lacks 
entirely. 

Regional pricing for both the Pad Go and Lifestyle Edition Watch 2 isnt yet 
confirmed, but for reference, the existing OnePlus Watch 2 is currently $299 
/ 269 / AU$459, which gives us a potential ballpark price for this upcoming 
Watch 2 variant. 

The OnePlus Pad Go currently costs INR23,999, which is roughly $285 / 230 / 
AU$440, and the company is already offering a special offer for UK buyers, 
with a free power adapter thrown in (worth 39) when you pre-pay just 1. You
