Walmart tablets

Walmart has just released two new versions of its Onn tablet, for the very attractive price of USD99 for the 8-inch model, and USD20 more for the 10-inch version. These tablets provide features not usually found on Android devices at this price point. The 8-inch version has a LCD HD display, 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, a 2.0 GHz Octa-core processor and identical, 5 Mpx front and back cameras. The 10-inch model has a 1080p display, 3GB of RAM and an audio jack, but has the same processor, storage and cameras as the 8-inch model. It has a 10-hour battery life. Both tablets have a USB-C port. On paper, the Onn looks like it seriously competes with Amazon’s Fire. The Onn tablets seem like a good low-cost option for locked-down kids whose parents are trying to work from home, but they can also lend themselves to many other applications, as well as geeky projects.
