Well I'm impressed
I am a Spark Reviewer and I was actually really excited about getting to review a tablet. I travel a lot on planes and I need a small computer for checking email, watching videos, playing music, reading books, and doing some lite word processing. I have tried netbooks in the past but they tend to have fairly short battery life and they are still too big for the little trays on planes - especially when the guy in front of you reclines his seat. BUT... This little Tablet is the perfect size for my carry-on luggage, it fits on the little airline tray perfectly, and the battery life is AMAZING! It really fits the bill for what I needed. I purchased a case with a wireless keyboard and the ensemble is complete! PROS - Easy to set up and use. Long battery life. Fairly quick processor and plenty of storage. Great size for portability. CONS - None that I've found so far.

Worst Tablet Ever Made
The Worst Tablet i have ever bought and used. never had a tablet that was this slow. videos will not run smooth. the keep starting and stopping. when going to a website it takes time for it to even load up then when you click on something takes its time about loading it. going to take it back and get a refund and buy a good tablet. would not recommend anyone buying one of thes ONN tablets. theyre a waste of your money.

    Sturdy and fabulous!
    My son (8yo) dropped this tablet on ceramic tile and other than the back coming off, the tablet still works fine! We did not get the case for it because the ones available did not fit quite right but I guess we didn't need one! Aside from that, we are also very pleased with the tablet as a whole. Well worth the money.

    DISAPPOINTED KIDS!
    How frustrating for us parents to buy a tablet for our kid for Christmas and they can't even play on it! We have had nothing but trouble since setting it up! Can't use the Google Play Store because it keeps kicking us out of the brand new gmail account we made for it. After a few hours it just stops working. Um my kid wants to load and play games!!! I will be returning these asap and Walmart better refund me! And I bought two!! Grrrrrr

    All listed apps not loaded and doesn't charge
    I usually only leave positive reviews but this product has been a headache and heartache for my 6 year old son. I was never able to access the Google Kids Space and Entertainment Space that is more as being limited to this and a handful of other tablets. Even after following troubleshooting instruction by phone it was not possible on either of the two tablets I purchased. While that was one of the reasons I chose this brand my children would still be able to use the tablet even though the Google Kids Space and Entertainment was inaccessible. However, after having the tablet for less than 4 months now one of them didn't charge any longer and the other barely holds a charge. I contacted Walmart to get assistance under the year warranty that comes with purchase and have been spinning in circles since! A chat with customer service gave me the information from the chat photo which I submitted by when I called the 844 number it is only for Onn TVs and told me to contact Walmart and when I contacted Walmart at the 800 number they said they don't handle the Onn. warranty and to contact Onn directly. The numbers listed for Onn are the same as the 844 and 800 that I just dialed! I tried the link in the photo I submitted which listed the same number and that chat put me back in the queue to receive a return call from the 800 number I'd already dialed! My last attempt was to call  866-618-7888 was listed as a support number. It says the company voice-mail is full....Huh? So I say that to say..... just don't buy this product.

    I didn't understand why anyone would want one...
    I didn't understand why anyone would want one until I got one myself. I figured they are just a giant phone without being able to make a phone call or texts, and if I wanted something big and bulky I would just get a laptop. I was pleasantly surprised once I got everything set up. I copied everything over from my phone and set up each "page" almost identical to my phone so I could easily go back and forth. My cell provider also has an app that allows me to send & receive texts over wifi as well. I only received this because I participate in the Spark Reviewer program but I am glad I got it. I actually use it everyday! I have a lot of "smart home" stuff and use this as the console. I was getting frustrated with trying to hold on to it because it is thin and slippery so I purchased a case with a built-in stand, and that was a game changer! I also have an adjustable holder that goes around my neck and this fits on it easily even with the case. The response is good, the connection to wifi is good, the screen resolution is decent enough. The picture quality is decent enough as well.

    Great tablet!
    The Onn 8 tablet pro is a great tablet for beginners, or seasoned tablet owners. It's got 32 GB of storage, and a SD port so that you can add additional storage as well. It can run a variety of apps, just like any other android tablet, even kindle which is perhaps my favorite. The screen is super clear, and the screen is the perfect size to read, watch shows, or simply play games on. You can even take pictures, or surf the web on this. It's lightweight, and portable. I love being able to pull up recipes on Facebook, and read the recipe in my kitchen without needing a printer. As i mentioned before, the tablet is very easy to navigate, my mother who isn't great with technology was able to use it just fine, as well as my toddlers. It works great for a wide age group, and can be used for a variety of tasks. You can also use google assistant which is a nice touch. Overall, it's a great tablet that fits my daily needs.

    Great little tablet
    This tablet was super easy to set up, the battery charges quickly, and it is not loaded up with lots of useless apps when it arrives. I use the tablet in the kitchen for recipes and it's been great to have bigger text than a phone provides. The battery charge lasts for 3-4 days with medium use. The display and sound both exceeded my expectations. The tablet is light and durable, the screen cleans well after my cooking hands have used it.

    LOVE IT
    I really enjoy how it works just like my phone which is an android. I got this for the grandchildren and they enjoy it too from toddler to preteen. The battery lasts for a while too which surprised me. The cameras are not the greatest for video calls but it worked as long as you don't move to fast then it gets pixelated. That was expected. Overall very good product and worth the price. Thank You walmart.

    nice little tablet!
    I received this Onn 8” tablet pro few days ago and I have been using it since. I must say WOW! This is the easiest tablet I have ever set up! Nothing complicated, it's straightforward, and even non savvy people can easily figure it out. So let's talk about the packaging. The packaging is extremely nice. The tablet is securely placed in the box and it's very presentable with everything I need is in it like the cable and manual. I like how the tablet has a cover sticker that tells you what to do before anything else. That is really a plus for me especially for people who are new to using an android tablet. After I set it up, it is ready to use. The pre-installed apps calendar, calculator, camera, chrome, clock, contacts, gmail, google, maps, photos, youtube and so on.. I'll attach a photo for you to see all the pre-installed apps. Some apps like play store, you must be logged in to Gmail be able to download anything. Overall, it is a great little tablet. It honestly has everything you need and it's really nice. It has great storage and processor, the touch screen is also very responsive. The only cons I have is the quality of the camera is not as great as expected but for everything that you get for the price, it's really worth it! This is really great especially for kids, parents who needs a basic tablet or if you need a travel tablet.

    Great tablet for streaming and home schooling
    I think Walmart's ONN brand is decent especially for the prices. That being said, I was expecting this tablet to be fairly slower than a top of the line tablet. After using it to surf the web and play videos online I was very impressed how fast it actually was. 32 gigs internal which is more than enough in my opinion especially when its expandable with an SD card. The only knocks to this tablet is that taking a picture is a lil choppy and any gaming apps that are more complex this tablet is not gonna do. All in all very pleased.

    Everything you need in a tablet
    First off it comes with some great coupons including $10 worth of free walmart ebooks. With their selection this is a wonderful bonus. Also coupons for vudu and walmart pick up. Next it has a nice size but not overly huge display screen. Full HD and crystal clear. It feels substantial and sturdy in your hands. The back is slip proof which is nice so you don't drop it easily. It has a very good camera for pictures, videos and of course skype or facebook webcam chats. It runs video games very smoothly with that 2GB of ram and that beefy 2.0 GHz processor. I had no issue running Pubg mobile on it and that's impressive for a budget device like this! That octacore processor has some muscle to it! I would suggest for it's longevity buying a screen protector and case, spend a few extra dollars it's just common sense. Now it's easy to just jump right in, you swipe up for your apps. It runs Android 10 which gives you some great benefits. Bottom line, if you want a very solid meat and potatoes tablet for everyday use or just don't want to gamble Ipad money for a child-teen this would be a fantastic option. Or like me it simply does everything I need it to do. Emails, facebook, twitter, video chat, Youtube, Netflix and even most mobile games this will please you as it does me. Next I want to buy some attachable side controllers for the gaming because it plays them nicely.

    Fantastic Tablet
    The bottom of the tablet has two speakers and a USB Type-C port, the top has a microSD card slot and a headphone jack. There aren't too many budget Android tablets with Type-C connectors. I have no problem streaming music or videos, most games. Front camera is good for a budget friendly tablet. Pretty fast as long as you don't bog it down by having to much stuff running. Battery could last up to 3 days. Overall its a great tablet for the price. I love it thank you!

    Love this Underrated High Value Tablet!
    While I am neither a coder nor a developer, when it comes to Android, I'd say I qualify as a power user. I have owned a ton of Android tablets and phones in the $200 to $600 price range. I customize them to my liking and if the stock operating system is too laggy or laden with bloatware, I'll install a custom rom, or a series of roms. This doesn't make me an expert, but I'm not a noob, either. I've owned my share of Samsungs, LGs, etc., but I prefer to buy lesser-known "value" brands such as Xiaomi, Huawei and OnePlus which offer a greater array of features and better build quality for my money. Well, the onn™ 8 Tablet Pro definitely offers value -- it costs 50% less than any of my previous devices and for the price, it's packed with features. It's got more than enough processing power and ram for multimedia, general use and light gaming. The display is bright and clear. The build quality is very solid. And the battery on my unit consistently exceeded 10 hours of use over two weeks of daily testing. Early word-of-mouth positioned this deviceas a competitor to Amazon's Fire Tablet and I guess that's true given the price -- but to my mind, it blows the Fire Tablet out of the water. I'm not an Amazon hater either. I like Prime Video. I own a Kindle and a Fire Stick. But I don't want to live in Amazon's ecosystem and that's what owning a Fire Tablet feels like -- there are too many ads and too much prioritizing of Amazon's products for me to feel at home. And while I could root a Fire Tablet, the build quality doesn't merit that much effort. Bear in mind, this review is for the onn™ 8 Tablet Pro with the metal body, not the entry level model. PROS: • Android 10 -- it's Stock Android, as in seriously naked, no bloatware whatsoever, so no need to root.Well, you may ask, what about the "Favorites" button linked to preloaded Walmart apps? Guess what? Every one of them can be individually disabled via its "Info" tab. For example, I got rid of the Sam's Club app because there isn't one near my house, but kept Walmart's retail/grocery app in favorites. (You can also disable Google Apps you don't use -- I did!) • Headphone Jack (Yay!) • USB C • Very loud speakers • Stellar battery life. I consistently got over 10 hours watching videos, browsing and listening to podcasts and audiobooks -- 12 on most days. When I just let it sit without having to disable bluetooth or wifi beforehand, it was still more than half charged 48 hours later! • Perfect screencasting -- instant connection to my Sony and Samsung TVs as well as my HP Tablet, and ultra-stable. • Superb wifi signal (The Onn wifi currently shows 17 available networks whereas the most any of my other devices shows is 13). • Build Quality. This is a solid tablet, with a matte black metal case that doesn't show fingerprints. • 32G storage -- most adequate, given the lean OS, plusa micro SD slot. • Screen Quality. The resolution, brightness and color balance are just right without any adjustments. There is no flex to the screen and no light bleeding out at the edges. • Walmart's 30-day return policy on tablets -- most retailers only given you 14. If by chance you get a lemon (quality control isn't what it used to be anywhere these days), switch it for a fresh one. I always use my electronics the moment I get them home and running them 24/7 for a few days so potential issues surface in time to exchange them if need be. CONS: • Packaging. I don't give a hoot for packaging, myself, but given the preponderance of "unboxing" videos I suspect onn™ products might be perceived better if the box wasn't seriously ugly. The graphics are poor and the background is such an icky yellow I thought it was white that got dirty. • It's a little thicker than average with generous bezels. Again, not a Con for me -- I am hard on electronics and girth reduces fragility -- but the look isn't sleek. • Walmart.com does not sell a case OR a screen protector for onn™ 8 Tablet Pro (it does sell a case for the 10"). This might not sound like a big deal but it is really annoying if you like to protect your electronics from the get-go. At least offer the screen protector! Note that cutout openings on cases made for previous onn™ 8" Tablets won't align properly with this model -- 100003561 -- so confirm the model number is compatible before you buy anything. But apart from having to hunt around for a case, I couldn't be more impressed with the Pro version of Walmart's tablet and hope they grow this promising house brand. Suggestion: Why not a Pro LTE version, seriously? Raise the price however much you need too, add native phone call capability, an extra gig of ram and never lose that headphone jack! (and don't forget to offer the optional case!)

    Easy use, perfect picture
    Pretty excited and happy with the onn tablet Pro with Android. It's large, easy to use. I Love, LOVE and love the screen which is large, clear and highly visible. It's easy to use the keyboard and you can turn it sideways for typing like a regular keyboard. I am so darn HAPPY with this electronic device. There is so much I can do on it. The pictures it takes are absolutely awesome especially for the LETGO application. The pictures just come out clear. All my Google info was a breeze to transfer. The set-up on this onn device easily leads you step by step from start to end - EASY even for the electronically challenged. I have so much more to explore and learn on the device. And a huge PERK is that the battery on this lasts forever it seems. So far I have not had to recharge the onn tablet. Even my husband is enjoying using the tablet and he is not a computer person. I plan on downloading the Walmart Reader because the screen is large enough we can see the words to read books from. We are very excited to discover everything we can do with this!! I say get you one especially if you are sight challenged. Fabulous for traveling to the beach, homeschooling, or a perfect gift for Gramps and Granny!

    Nice Tablet
    I received the 8" onn. Tablet Pro through the Spark Reviewer Program. Unpackaged the Tablet and charged the battery, turned it on, and followed the prompts to get started and connected to the internet. This is a Walmart product and it comes preloaded with the Walmart Grocery, Walmart.com, and Sam's Club apps. It's powered by Android, so the navigation is straight forward and easy to use. All the apps are in alphabetical order and simple to find what you are looking for. 32 GB of storage is a fair amount and can be upgrades with a microSD chip. Screen is a full diagonal 8" and is very clear and responsive to touch. Overall, it's a nice tablet, lightweight and thin. On/off response is almost instant, so no waiting. Front and rear cameras take good photos. Nice Tablet.

    Pretty happy
    I have been using this tablet for almost a week now. Like most products, it has pros and cons. It is a very basic tablet, but for the price point, I do believe most people will be happy. If you have been using an expensive big brand tablet and buy this to replace it, you will be very disappointed. It is not quite as zippy as the tablets I am accustomed to operating. Once again, completely different price points. The camera takes decent pictures and the email app functions nicely. If those are two things you use often, you will be happy with this tablet. Despite not being as zippy as my other tablets, it still has good processing speed to it. The audio volume is middle of the road good. It could stand to be better but is still sufficient for most things. The worst thing about this tablet is the battery life. I know it says 10 hours, but there is no way. I turned down the screen brightness and even kept volume low most of the time and it was still zapped in a couple of hours. It does charge quickly though. For this price point, I would recommend this tablet. As long as you are not trying to replace a $600 tablet, you will be happy with this tablet. I am thinking about purchasing one for my children.

    Great 8 inch Tablet!
    The ONN 8 inch tablet is a great device! It comes standard with 32gb. That's enough memory to do just about anything. This will take photos, connect to email and the internet. We downloaded some games for the kids and it took very little time to download. The graphic quality is very good. The speed of downloads was quick. We had no lag when downloading, playing games or music. The music quality is a bit tinny but you can connect it to a wireless speaker for great sound. The price is amazing for such a great electronic device. My photo compares an iPad to the ONN 8inch tablet so you can see the size difference. This is very compact and travels very well. We purchased a case to keep it safe. Cases are cheap and easy to find. I highly recommend this tablet.

    Real nice tablet
    This is a real nice tablet. Got a good size screen and is easy to hold onto. The volume is louder than any other tablet I have ever owned. The 8in is a great screen size and makes it enjoyable to watch videos. I have to fight my husband to use it though. He has been taking it out to his work shop and watching youtube videos while he is working on rebuilding his jeep. It has a jack for headphones if you need to use those. I think this one is a keeper.
