Apart from entering the budget smartphone segment, OnePlus also introduced budget smart TVs this year. The company’s first affordable televisions go by the names of OnePlus TV 32Y1 and OnePlus TV 43Y1 respectively. These TVs received their first system update in their launch month itself, whereas the second update was rolled out a month later. Now, the brand has started seeding out the third update.

The two models in the OnePlus TV Y series have identical hardware except for the display size and resolution. Hence, both of them run the same software build and receive updates together.

That said, the new update called OTA3 brings new OnePlus Connect features, new Amazon Alexa skills, and most importantly, the latest build also claims to improve Google Chromecast stability. The update is currently being rolled out in batches and should reach every unit in the coming days.

Talking about the new OnePlus Connect features, the changelog mentions the addition of screen time and data statistics, an option to clear background apps in one click, and connection stability improvements. Similarly, new Alexa skills include search content, brightness control, open applications, and keypad control.
