Earlier today, Infinix unveiled a new tablet called the Infinix XPad. Although the brand has not officially revealed the price of this tablet, its specifications indicate that it could land in the sub-$200 range. This will land it smack dab in the middle of tablets like the Redmi Pad SE and the OnePlus Pad Go. In this article, we will discuss how the Infinix XPad compares to the OnePlus Pad Go.
1. Design & display
Design-wise, there are some similarities between the two tablets. They both come with a boxy design with flat edges and feature a metal unibody design. The Infinix tablet has its camera island tucked away in the top corner, while the OnePlus Pad comes with a more centered rear camera.
Up-front, the Pad Go offers a slightly larger 11.35-inch LCD display, while the XPad has an 11-inch LCD screen. Both these displays have large bezels around them, however, their resolutions are a different story. The Infinix tablet offers a 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution with a 90Hz refresh rate of 206 ppi pixel density, while the OnePlus tablet has a higher 2408 x 1720 pixels resolution, with a 90Hz refresh rate and 260 ppi pixel density. The Infinix tablet is slightly brighter at 440 nits compared to the 400 nits peak brightness of the OnePlus tablet.

2. Performance
Since both the Infinix XPad and the OnePlus Pad Go use the MediaTek Helio G99, it would be easy to assume that they both offer similar performance. However, that is not the case since the OnePlus Pad Go uses UFS 2.2 storage, whereas the XPad uses eMMC storage. Due to this difference, the OnePlus Pad Go will be faster and smoother when opening apps, multitasking, gaming, and processing captured photos and videos.
Both tablets use LPDDR4X RAM and have storage expansion support via a microSD card slot. Infinix offers 4GB RAM + 128GB/8 GB RAM + 256GB storage models, while OnePlus offers 8GB RAM with both the 128GB and 256GB storage models.
3. Optics & audio
Both tablets are equipped with dual 8 MP cameras. The front cameras can record videos in 1080p at 30 FPS, making them suitable for video calls. However, the Infinix XPad stands out with its primary camera’s ability to record in 1440p, in addition to the 1080p at 30 FPS video recording available on the OnePlus Pad Go. In terms of audio, both devices offer a stereo setup with four speakers each.
4. Battery & fast charging
In the battery and fast charging department, OnePlus has a significant advantage as it ships the Pad Go with a large 8000mAh battery paired with 33W fast charging. On the other hand, the Infinix XPad comes with a 7000mAh battery supported by 18W fast charging. Infinix claims to refill 50% of the battery with 40 minutes of charging, while the OnePlus Pad Go generally takes about 100 minutes to go from 0-100%.
5. Verdict
In this comparison, the OnePlus Pad Go emerges as the better tablet across all key areas, boasting a higher-resolution display, superior performance due to faster storage, and a larger battery with quicker charging capabilities. However, Infinix has not yet disclosed the tablet’s price. If priced competitively, it could offer strong value, as it meets many criteria that make it an appealing option in the budget tablet segment.
