Walmart’s Onn brand may be preparing to move beyond streaming boxes and cheap TV accessories. A new certification listing from the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has revealed an Onn Smart Speaker, suggesting Walmart could be expanding its budget-friendly device lineup into the smart home audio space.
The listing was spotted by users on the r/OnnStreamingTV subreddit, where it quickly sparked speculation about what Walmart might be planning next.
What’s coming in the next Onn gadget
The certification page describes it as a Gemini-powered smart home speaker made by Shenzhen SEI Robotics Co., Ltd. So this positions the speaker around Google’s AI assistant branding rather than the older Google Assistant label. According to the listing, the speaker supports voice assistant features, audio playback, and smart home controls. It also includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, plus Google Cast for Audio, which should allow users to stream music and other audio from compatible apps.
How Matter support could be big
The device has also been certified under Matter, the smart home standard designed to make devices work more easily across different ecosystems. So the upcoming Onn Smart Speaker might be more versatile than your typical cheap audio device. It may end up serving as a voice-controlled smart home access point for users who want Google-style controls without paying Google Nest prices.
The listed hardware includes a 10W speaker, a far-field microphone array, physical controls, LED indicators, and a hardware microphone privacy switch. The Reddit post had users expressing a mix of interest and skepticism. There is no official Walmart launch page yet, so pricing and availability remain unknown. Still, the certification suggests the product is real and fairly far along.
