In my latest video, I take a look at the Onn 11 Tablet Pro, Walmart’s top-of-the-line tablet, following up on my earlier review of their more affordable option. At $130, this tablet offers impressive value for its price (compensated affiliate link).,
While it’s not as powerful as last year’s Pro model, it brings notable improvements over the lower-cost version.
The 11-inch display, with its 1840×1280 resolution, delivers a crisp 1080p experience, which is particularly noticeable when streaming content. Unlike the cheaper model, which is limited to 480p video playback on services like Netflix, this tablet supports full HD.
The build quality is solid, with a metal back and glass display, though it lacks a fingerprint-resistant coating. Weighing just over a pound, it’s lightweight and comfortable to use, but the touch responsiveness could be improved, as the screen occasionally misinterprets input if fingers rest on the edge.
Audio quality is decent, with four DTS:X-supported speakers providing better sound than expected at this price point. However, the absence of a headphone jack means you’ll need to rely on Bluetooth or the USB-C port for wired audio.
For storage, the tablet includes 64GB onboard with an option for expansion via an SD card. With 4GB of RAM and a Qualcomm 685 processor, performance is adequate for casual use but comparable to the lower-cost 10.1-inch model. Benchmarks reveal no significant speed advantage despite the extra memory, and gaming performance, while passable, doesn’t match higher-end devices or even last year’s Pro 11 model.
The tablet’s cameras are a pleasant surprise, with both front and rear cameras offering 5MP resolution and 1080p video at 30fps. While stabilization isn’t great, the image and video quality exceed expectations for the price. These cameras are functional for video calls, casual photography, and basic video recording.
Battery life is a strong point, with the tablet delivering up to 16 hours for basic tasks like web browsing or streaming. Gaming reduces this significantly to about 5-8 hours, but it’s sufficient for typical daily use or long flights. The device runs Android 14 with a clean interface free of unnecessary pre-installed apps, aside from Walmart’s own pre-installed shopping app.
When it comes to gaming, casual titles like Minecraft and Roblox perform well, though demanding games may struggle. Streaming games via Xbox Cloud Gaming worked without major issues, even with the tablet’s limited Wi-Fi capability, which maxes out at 250 Mbps due to its single-channel AC radio. However, the lack of Wi-Fi 6 and offline GPS support might be dealbreakers for some users.
This tablet stands out for offering a well-rounded media and casual gaming experience at an accessible price. Its sharper display, added RAM, and support for higher-resolution streaming make it a nice upgrade over Walmart’s lower-cost options. It might not be a powerhouse, but it’s an affordable, capable device for users who value functionality over cutting-edge performance.
