Earlier this month, we brought you a report that Nokia was collaborating with Flipkart to launch a Nokia-branded smart TV in India. The TV has now reportedly been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS). The screenshot of the certification page shared by tipster Sandhust Amborhe didn’t reveal any significant detail other than that the device will be manufactured in India and will bear the Nokia brand name.

Apart from announcing its partnership with Flipkart to manufacture smart TVs, Nokia is yet to reveal any details of the TV. However, sources familiar with the matter hints that the Nokia-branded TV will come with a 4K ultra-HD panel and will run on Android 9.0 OS. The TV is also expected to come with an Intelligent Dimming technology and JBL sound system.
Nokia will be following the path of the likes of Samsung, LG Electronics, Xiaomi, Motorola, Huawei, Honor, and OnePlus which have all launched smart TVs. Samsung used to hold sway as the biggest TV brand but in recent times, Xiaomi has repeatedly dominated the market with its range of Mi TV models. Nokia is obviously trying to ride on the back of its popularity in the domestic market to sell its smart TV brand. Since the Nokia-branded smart TVs seem to be manufactured in an ODM arrangement, Nokia has nothing to lose but lots to gain if the product goes viral when it is launched.
