$97 is the entry price for Walmart’s expanded Onn tablet lineup, which now spans six Android 16 models including Core, kids’ and Pro versions.
Five of the six tablets cost under $200, with the range stepping through the $138 Core 8.1, $167 Core 11, and kids’ models priced at $118 and $136.
The top-end Onn Pro costs $288 and pairs a 13.2-inch display with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a folio case and stylus.
The broader launch builds on Walmart’s earlier release of the 8.1-inch Core and 13-inch Pro, reinforcing its push to offer low-cost alternatives to pricier tablets such as Apple’s iPad Pro.
