It’s already known that China-based smartphone maker OnePlus has been working on a smart TV which the company is internally calling OnePlus TV. It was announced by OnePlus CEO Pete Lau last year.
After the revelation that the company is working on OnePlus TV, there has been no update regarding this smart TV. Now, it seems that the company is finally ready to launch the product. According to the report from leakster Ishan Agarwal, OnePlus TV launch in “not very far away”. However, he has not provided any more details regarding the launch.
Earlier, when the company announced that it is working on a Smart TV, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau said that the company is targeting mid-2019 to launch the product. However, later he said that the launch could get pushed to 2020. But the latest development seems to suggest that the earlier estimate is right and the OnePlus TV could get launched in the coming months.
The company has already said that the smart TV from OnePlus will be unlike the television sets available in the market today. OnePlus is planning to introduce a smart TV that will run on its own AI engine. The TV will be able to easily communicate with a smartphone and become smarter with time, thanks to its AI integration.
Further, the TV will also have a way to seamlessly connect with the smartphone, enabling it to show reminders and traffic information among others. There will be a built-in camera as well. In addition, Pete Lau said that the company will also have a solution for the concerns related to the home-privacy.
During the launch of OnePlus 7 series smartphones in Bengaluru, India, Vikas Gupta, India Head for OnePlus said that the OnePlus TV is the company’s next focus for the Indian market, without revealing any more information. This hints that whenever the OnePlus TV gets launched, India will be among the first countries to get it.
