Walmart is not the first brand anyone thinks of when it comes to Android tablets, but the retailer’s Onn brand has just dropped six new models all running Android 16 and, on paper at least, they look surprisingly good.
Available now online and in stores, Walmart’s new Onn Android tablet lineup consists of six models – a 13-inch Pro for $288, 11-inch Core for $167, 8.1-inch Core for $138, 7-inch Core for $97, and two kid-focused tablets with 11-inch and 8-inch screens for $136 and $118, respectively.
The entire lineup ships with Android 16 out of the box.
Starting with the Onn 13 Pro Tablet, Walmart’s “flagship” has a 13-inch 2400×1600 IPS LCD display and is powered by an undisclosed MediaTek processor at 2.6GHz, which could be any number of options. It has 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, an 8MP front-facing camera, and a 13MP rear-facing camera. The display has stylus support and there’s both a stylus and a folio case included in the box. Early reviews of the tablet also showcase an IP54 dust/water resistance rating, “Extended Display Mode,” and “face recognition.”
Next up, the Onn 11 Core Tablet has an 11-inch 1840×1280 IPS LCD display, a MediaTek MT8781N chipset (aka Helio G99), 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. It also has a 2MP front-facing camera and 5MP rear-facing camera, and microSD card support too. This one comes in multiple colors – Silver, Navy, Mocha, and Pink – while Walmart touts 15 hours of battery life (or 17 hours, depending on where you look). There are images showing the tablet being used with an Apple Pencil-like stylus, but there’s no mention of stylus support in the listing.
The Onn 8.1 Core Tablet is next with an 8.1-inch 1524×1000 IPS LCD display, Snapdragon 685 chipset, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of storage (with microSD support), and the same 2MP and 5MP cameras as the 11-inch model. It comes in the same four colors as the larger model, too, and once again has no mention of stylus support. The compact size, though, is great to see given there are so few options available, even fewer with this sort of value.
Rounding out the “Core” lineup is the Onn 7 Core Tablet, which is a 7-inch Android tablet that’s the cheapest of the bunch at $97. It features a slightly archaic 7-inch, 1024×600 LCD display powered by Android 16 and a Helio G80 chipset with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (with microSD). It comes in the same color options as the other two Core tablets, with 2MP cameras front and back, and an aluminum build – not mentioned for the other models, but it seems this is the case across the board.
The other two Android tablets Walmart has launched are both kid-focused. Both are wrapped in a thick “Bumper Case” to protect the tablet and add a kickstand, offer a software experience tailored to kids, and a 45-day free subscription to ABC Mouse.
The 11-inch model has an 1840×1280 IPS LCD display, MediaTek G88 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and stylus support. The 8-inch model, meanwhile, features an 8-inch 1524×1000 display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and an undisclosed MediaTek chip. Both include blue, purple, orange, and pink colors.
