Walmart is refreshing its Onn tablet lineup with a simple pitch: modern Android tablets that stay cheap. The new 2026 family reportedly ships with Android 16 across the board, which gives budget shoppers a newer software base than many low-cost tablets usually offer.
The range starts with a 7-inch Core tablet around $97 and moves through 8-inch and 11-inch models before topping out with a 13-inch Onn Pro at about $288. That larger model reportedly includes a 2400 x 1600 display, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, stylus support and a folio in the box.
That spec mix does not turn Onn into an iPad Pro rival, and nobody should expect it to. The point is value. A tablet with a bigger display, keyboard or stylus option and current Android software can be enough for school work, streaming, browsing and light home use.
The smaller models matter too. Cheap tablets often become kitchen screens, kid devices, travel screens or smart-home controllers. If Walmart keeps the prices close to the reported listings, the new Onn tablets could be easy impulse buys for people who do not need a premium slate.
Tech My Money will keep an eye on live pricing and availability before calling out a best buy. For now, this fits the same budget-first lane as our recent Amazon device coverage: useful gear matters more when the price does not fight you.
Walmart also has an advantage that many Android tablet brands do not: shelf space. If these models show up in stores with clear pricing, they can reach families who never compare benchmark charts and just want a device that handles Netflix, school portals and basic browsing.
The main thing to watch is update support. Cheap Android tablets often look attractive on day one, then fade because software updates slow down. Android 16 at launch is a good start, but long-term support will decide whether these tablets age well.
