Walmart expands Onn tablet lineup with six new Android 16 models starting at $97
The retailer’s in-house brand launches a comprehensive range of devices running the latest operating system, with total costs for the full suite remaining below that of a single Apple iPad Pro.
Walmart has officially expanded its Onn electronics portfolio with the launch of six new Android tablets, all operating on Android 16. The release, first identified by 9to5Google, spans multiple price points and consumer segments, ranging from entry-level devices starting at $97 to a premium model priced at $288. This strategic move reinforces the retailer’s position in the consumer technology market by offering a broad spectrum of hardware options under its in-house label.
The entry-level segment is anchored by the Onn Core 7, priced at $97. This 7-inch device features a 1040 x 600 IPS LCD display, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of expandable storage via microSD. It is rated for up to 10 hours of battery life. Moving up the tier, the Onn Core 8.1 is available for $138, offering an 8.1-inch 1524 x 1000 IPS LCD display, 6GB of RAM, and 15 hours of battery life. The Core 11, priced at $167, provides an 11-inch 1840 x 1280 display, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of expandable storage, with a battery life of up to 17 hours.
In addition to the Core series, Walmart has introduced two tablets specifically targeted at younger users. The 8-inch kids’ tablet is priced at $118, while the larger 11-inch version is available for $136. These models join the existing Core lineup, ensuring the Onn brand covers a wide array of use cases from basic media consumption to educational applications.
The most significant addition to the portfolio is the Onn Pro, which retails for $288. This model targets the higher end of the budget market, featuring a 13.2-inch 2400 x 1600 IPS LCD display, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. It is powered by an unnamed 2.6GHz MediaTek processor. Notably, the Onn Pro includes a folio case and a stylus in the box, a bundle that contrasts with competitors like the iPad Pro, where such accessories are typically sold separately.
The aggregate cost of all six new tablets is less than that of a single iPad Pro, highlighting the aggressive pricing strategy employed by Walmart’s Onn brand. By offering a complete ecosystem of devices across various sizes and specifications, the retailer aims to capture market share in the affordable computing segment while providing consumers with alternatives to premium-priced proprietary hardware.
