Walmart's line of inexpensive electronics holds some nice surprises - Dallas News

It has front and rear cameras that are not very good — the main camera has a 2-megapixel sensor — but nobody should be buying this tablet to be their main camera. 

Walmart doesn't list a size for the battery, but it does say that it should last for five hours of mixed use. It charges from an included micro-USB port and has a headphone jack.

The tablet has 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Neither of these is the newest version, but they'll do the job.

The Android operating system is mostly stock, but the Onn tablet comes preloaded with five Walmart apps that you can't delete.

In fact, those Walmart apps are launched from an icon that lives on the bottom of the screen next to the home button, but it is easy enough to ignore if you don't use Walmart's shopping apps.

In use

The Onn tablet is slow. There's no other way to say it.

I'd call it slow but usable.

When you launch an app or rotate the tablet from portrait to landscape mode, you'll wait a few seconds.

Once you are in a browser or watching a video, the speed is just fine.

This is a decent tablet for internet browsing, email, watching videos or reading eBooks.

If you are doing anything that requires sound, I'd recommend using earbuds. The Onn's tiny speaker is on the back of the tablet, and it sounds pretty bad.

The screen is bright enough, but if you want to get five hours out of the battery, you'll want to dial down the brightness a bit.

The back of the tablet is made of plastic with an interesting crosshatch pattern that really does a good job of hiding fingerprints.

Bottom line

I kept the Onn tablet next to my chair in the living room and used it every night. I loaded apps to control my Roku TV, TiVo and Sonos apps.

It is a very nice little tablet to use as a remote control for my TV and sound system.

For $65, I think the Onn Android tablet is a bargain — as long as you adjust your expectations.
