Huawei seems to have a slightly different take on TVs. The company is said to be working on a smart TV which primarily acts as an entertainment center and smart speaker. So, despite the fact that it might look like a traditional TV with a big screen, that’s likely its secondary feature.
After revealing the company’s plans to become world’s number one smartphone manufacturer by 2020, Huawei’s Richard Yu added a few comments about the company’s TV plans. He reveals that Huawei’s TV won’t be a traditional one. In this era of AI, Huawei’s vision of a TV is rather unique, in the sense that it will primarily be a smart speaker with a display. So, it would be more like a media hub with a large screen.
Hold your horses before you get too excited. Richard adds that Huawei doesn’t have any plans to release a TV in the short term. We might see one later this year, but even that’s not confirmed.
So, what’s causing the delay?
Well, Mr. Richard says that while Huawei has the ability to release such a device in the market by H1 2019, it wants to add a few disruptive features to the device before release.
