Last week, OnePlus released its very first set of Smart TVs – the OnePlus TV Q1 and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro.
The TVs boasts some unique features not available on a lot of other smart TVs such as a special integration with your phone which brings additional features such as TypeSync which allows you to type on your TV screen using the keyboard on your phone and Smart Volume Control which automatically reduces the volume of your TV when you receive a phone call.
However, the OnePlus TV Q1 and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro are pretty expensive with a price tag of INR 69,900 ($985) and INR 99,900 (~$1400) respectively. That is sure out of the budget for a lot of people. While OnePlus may announce more affordable models in the future, we doubt that it will have a model that will be priced as low as some of Xiaomi’s own models whose affordable price tags have helped it shoot to the top of the smart TV market.
If OnePlus wants to increase drastically the number of users of its customized Android TV platform, we think the best and easiest way to do that will be to release a TV box or TV stick similar to Xiaomi’s Mi Box or Amazon’s Fire TV Stick.
This TV box or TV stick can even use the same remote as the one that ships with the OnePlus TV which should cut the development by half. Also, with a TV box or TV stick, owners can take their “setup” anywhere such as when they are on holidays or visiting a relative or friend.
So for this week’s poll, we want to know if you will be willing to purchase a OnePlus TV box or TV stick that brings all the software features of the OnePlus TV Q1/Q1 Pro including the promised three-years of software support.
Do vote and share the post with your friends and maybe, just maybe, OnePlus will see there is a market for a TV box and or dongle and make one.
