OnePlus, the OPPO-backed company which started off with “flagship killer” smartphones has now expanded its presence to various other categories, including the highly competitive Smart TVs market.

While there are a few models already available in the market across the different price ranges — U1S, Y-series, and Q1-series, the company is now gearing up to launch four new Smart TVs in the Indian market.

According to the latest report from tipster Abhishek Yadav, the four new Smart TVs from OnePlus will be officially launched in the Indian market on 17th February. He also reveals that the upcoming products will go on sale online as well as offline channels.

It is also claimed that the Smart TV with model numbers 32Y1S and 42Y1S will be available for purchase through online and offline stores while the company will launch two more models, which are yet unknown, which will go on sale only through the offline stores.

If the previous reports are to be believed, then the 32Y1S and 42Y1S models are expected to come with support for HDR10+ display and Dolby Audio. The devices will have a 20W speaker and dual-band Wi-Fi for connectivity. They are likely to come running Google TV based on the Android TV 11 operating system out-of-the-box.

As for the pricing, the OnePlus Y1S 32-inch model could cost around ₹25,000 while the 43-inch model could be priced around ₹25,000 in India. We expect more details about the upcoming TVs to surface online in the coming days as well as the official confirmation of the launch date from OnePlus.

Recently, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that the company will be launching a new Smart TV in the Indian market on 2nd July. It was also confirmed that that time, the devices will be priced affordably.

Now, the OnePlus India twitter handle has teased the pricing of the upcoming Smart TV in the country. It has teased that the starting price of the new TV will be ₹1X,999. So, it could be priced between ₹10,999 to ₹19,999 which is $146 and $265.

The company is expected to launch two new smart TV series in the Indian market — one in the budget segment and another in the mid-range segment. As per the reports, the budget series could be priced around ₹15,000, which is about $199.

On the other hand, the report claims that the budget lineup will have more than one device and the pricing will be between ₹20,000 and ₹40,000, which roughly converts to somewhere between $265 and $530.

The development comes just weeks after a new 55-inch OnePlus TV carrying model number 55UA0A00 and an RC-003A remote control was spotted at the Bluetooth SIG certification platform. The device is rumored to come equipped with a MediaTek chipset.

OnePlus had forayed into the Smart TV segment with the launch of OnePlus TV Q1 / Q1 Pro in the Indian market after the company had revealed the plan in 2018. At the time, it was revealed that this division will be headed by the company’s CEO Pete Lau.

Although both the TV models were made available for purchase in India, it’s hard to assume that it managed to sell significant units, given the pricing. The standard model was priced at ₹69,900 ($926) while the Pro model was priced at ₹99,900 ($1,323).

But now, OnepLus seems to be ready to ditch the premium segment, at least for now, and focus on the sales for the OnePlus TV. Thus, we’ll be seeing affordable offerings from the company next month, competing against the likes of Xiaomi’s Mi TV and Realme Smart TV.
