Walmart's Onn brand has launched six new budget Android tablets, with prices starting at $97 for the 7-inch Core 7 model. The entire lineup costs less than a single iPad Pro.

The Onn Core 7, the most affordable option, features a 7-inch 1040 x 600 IPS LCD display, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of expandable storage. Walmart claims up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. All six tablets ship with Android 16. Five of the models are priced below $200, making them among the cheapest Android tablets on the market. The entry-level pricing positions the Onn line as a direct competitor to basic tablet needs like streaming, browsing, and document viewing. The expandable storage via microSD card adds practical utility for users who need additional space without paying premium prices.
