Now, after much anticipation, the company has finally debuted the 55-inch model of the TV called the OnePlus TV 55 Y1S Pro.

The OnePlus TV 1S Pro was introduced in India in April. Initially, the brand only debuted a 43-inch model. A 50-inch version later followed it in July.

Four months later, a reliable tipster says that OnePlus will soon release a 55-inch variant of this television. The leaker has also shared some of the features of this upcoming TV.

According to Ishan Agarwal (via MySmartPrice), the OnePlus TV 55 Y1S Pro will soon launch in India. Unfortunately, the tipster keeps the exact launch date a secret.

However, he does speak about the features. Going by that, the 55-inch variant of the OnePlus TV Y1S Pro will be identical to the other two sizes.

The television will flaunt a 4K panel with support for HDR10+ and MEMC. The screen will be paired with 24W speakers.

The device will boot Android TV with support for leading streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, and more. It will offer multiple port options, such as 2 x USB 2.0, 3 x HDMI  2.1 (one of them is eARC compatible), Ethernet, and RF.

The forthcoming 55-inch version is expected to cost around ₹40,000. That’s because the 43-inch and 50-inch models are priced at ₹29,999 and ₹32,999, respectively.

OnePlus has officially announced its partnership with JioPages. JioPages is a web browser by Jio Platforms and it is entirely designed in India. With this collaboration, OnePlus plans to offer a faster, ad-free, and feature-rich browser experience to OnePlus TV users.

With JioPages coming to the Oneplus TVs, users will get a faster chromium engine migration that catches up with new web trends, offering an updated and secure browsing experience. The JioPages browser is said to be faster, safer, and custom-made for television screens.

One highlighting feature about the JioPages is that it comes with an in-built Adblocker, meaning you no longer have to see unwanted adverts. There’s also a VPN and a Secure Mode in the browser. The VPN will offer unfettered access to global websites and also ensure safety with the Secure Mode.

On the OnePlus TV, users are also set to experience one-click link openings. Users can add their favorite weblink to the home screen so that they can quickly access it next time. OnePlus users will also have access to curated videos across a variety of categories.

Personalized experience with regional languages like Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Gujrati, and others are also available. Lastly, there’s also Study Mode, which provides curated educational content.

In February, Oneplus launched two smart televisions called OnePlus TV Y1S and OnePlus TV Y1S Edge alongside the OnePlus Nord CE 2 in India. A month later, the company is now said to release yet another smart TV in the country dubbed as OnePlus TV Y1S Pro. As the name suggests, it will be a better version of the former two models.

According to Ishan Agarwal (via 91Mobiles), the OnePlus TV Y1S Pro will go official at the OnePlus 10 Pro launch event in India. The two products will be also accompanied by OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2.

The new television from the brand will look somewhat similar to the recently released models. However, it will have a higher resolution screen.

The tipster says that the OnePlus TV Y1S Pro will be offered in a single 43-inch version initially. Unlike the regular Y1S, this one’s panel will offer a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K).

The television will arrive with 2GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. Interestingly, it will boot Android TV 10 instead of Android TV 11 like the Y1S and Y1S Edge. Anyway, it will have support for Chromecast Built-in, Miracast, OnePlus Connect 2.0, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa.

As far as connectivity and ports are concerned, the TV will come with dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth, 3 x HDMI, and 2 x USB. Finally, it will pack 24W speakers with support for Dolby Audio and Dolby Atmos.

We expect OnePlus to disclose the date for the OnePlus 10 Pro’s Indian launch event soon. At the same time, we are also looking forward to the pricing leak of all three products.

OnePlus on Friday, officially announced the launch of the new OnePlus TV Y1S and OnePlus TV Y1S Edge in India. These TVs will be an addition to the already available Y-series of TVs in India.

Currently, OnePlus has the OnePlus TV Y1 in its Y-series. Now, with the addition of the Y1S and Y1S Edge, the company will expand its affordable TV range in the country. The company said that the Y-series is targeted to bring accessible connected ecosystem experiences across different screen sizes. The Y-series TVs including the upcoming Y1S and Y1S Edge will come at affordable prices.

Furthermore, the Y1S will be launched exclusively in the online market, whereas, the TV Y1S Edge will be available in the offline market.

“We believe the new range of the OnePlus TVs will re-define smart TV experience by providing unparalleled quality, along with a premium design and an elevated viewing experience, while bringing these offerings at truly affordable price points”, said Navnit Nakra, Oneplus India CEO and Head of India region.

Apart from this, a recent leak revealed that the new OnePlus TV Y1S series will launch as early as this month on February 17. It will come with minimal bezels on all three sides, while the bottom bezels will be slightly thicker as it will have the Oneplus logo.

The Y1S series will likely come with a similar design as the existing OnePlus TV Y1. The upcoming TVs were tipped to come with 20W speakers backed by Dolby Audio. The series will have HDR10+ support and is expected to come with dual-band WiFi. It will run on Android TV 11 OS.

Earlier this week, news broke out that OnePlus will be soon launching a new smart television lineup in India. It will be called the OnePlus TV Y1S series. Today, we get to see this TV in a render.

The render of the upcoming OnePlus TV Y1S series comes from the OnePlus Connect application. It was spotted by Ishan Agarwal (via MySmartPrice).

According to the image, the television will have minimal bezels on three sides. In other words, it will look similar to the existing OnePlus TV Y1 series.

There will be a large chin with the OnePlus logo at the center. Below that, there will be an LED indicator, which will likely include an infrared sensor as well.

Apart from the aforementioned details, the picture doesn’t tell anything about the television. However, thanks to the previous report, we know quite a bit about it.

For starters, the OnePlus TV Y1 series will be offerred in two sizes – 32-inch and 43-inch. Although it’s not revealed, the former will likely have HD-ready resolution compared to FHD on the latter.

Both of them will boot Android TV 11 operating system. They will offer dual-band WiFi connectivity, which will be an upgrade over the single-band implementation found in their predecessors. Finally, they will have support for HDR10+ and Dolby Audio along with Dolby Atmos decoding.

As of now, there’s no info on the launch date of the OnePlus TV Y1S series.

OnePlus is gearing up to launch new smart TVs in India soon, expanding its existing lineup. A new report has stated that these new TVs will be a part of the Y1S TV series and also revealed some of its key specifications as well.

According to 91Mobiles and known tipster Ishan Agarwal, the Chinese smartphone maker is planning on launching new Y1S smart TVs in two sizes. This includes a 32 inch and 43 inch sizes. In other words, the two new models will also be available for purchase alongside the existing U1S, Y series, and Q1 lineup, which are being sold in India via Amazon, Flipkart, and the company’s official website as well.

Ishan further revealed certain key specifications of the upcoming Y1S TV series. The new OnePlus TVs will run on Android TV 11 OS and will feature Dolby Audio on its 20W speakers.

As we get closer to the new year, the launch of the OnePlus 10 series, the company’s flagship smartphone lineup for 2022, edges closer. However, it seems like the brand has more than just smartphones in store for its customers in India.

A new leak has revealed that the Chinese smartphone maker is apparently working on new smart TVs that will be launching in the Indian market soon. The news arrives from known tipster @stufflistings on Twitter, who also shared that the company is launching at least a 32 inch and 43 inch smart TV, as per the information that he has received. Unfortunately, he refrained from sharing any other finer details regarding these upcoming new OnePlus Smart TVs. Although unlikely, the company could possibly even announce these new TVs alongside the upcoming flagship 10 series of smartphones.

For those unaware, the brand has already entered the smart TV market in India with its OnePlus TVs, under its Y, U, and Q series. But now, it appears to be expanding its offering in the Southeast Asian region. As of right now, it is unclear whether these new smart TVs will be launching under the different series mentioned above or if they are a part of a new lineup entirely. Keep in mind that this is still just an unconfirmed report at the moment, so take this report with a pinch of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.

At the end of last month, a report revealed that Xiaomi would be incrementing the price of its smart TVs in India and the company did as well. It appears OnePlus had also hiked the price of its television models in the country a few days later. Let’s take a look at how much they cost now.

OnePlus has jacked up the price of its TVs by up to a whopping ₹7,000 in India. The 50-inch variant of the newly launched OnePlus TV U1S series has received the maximum price hike.

The brand has only incremented the price of two lineups, namely the OnePlus TV Y1 series and the OnePlus TV U1S series. This is how much they retail for in India right now.

As you can see from the table above, the entire OnePlus TV Y1 series gets a ₹2,500 price hike. Whereas, the increase in price is different for each size variant of the OnePlus TV U1S series.

That said, the continued smart TV price hike in India is due to the prolonged global shortage of ‘Open Cell’ (panel), which makes up almost 70% of the cost of a television. TV manufacturers in India import panels from China and Vietnam.

Furthermore, the curated content from across the globe from Lionsgate Play will now be available on all OnePlus TVs, which also includes the newly launched TV U1S. Notably, the Lionsgate Play platform will also be easily accessible on OxygenPlay, which is the content discovery platform of the smartphone brand.

Through the Lionsgate Play partnership, users can expect to see academy award winning movies, box office hits, and local titles as well. This will also include content that will be available in six different languages in India, namely Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Kannada, and Bhojpuri.

In late April, OnePlus released the OTA7 update for the premium OnePlus TV Q series and the mid-range OnePlus TV U series. One and a half months later, the company is seeding the OTA4 update for the budget OnePlus TV Y series with a new feature and bug fixes.

The latest system update for the OnePlus TV Y series comes after the launch of the OnePlus TV 40Y1 and the OnePlus TV U1S series. The new update brings a single new feature and bug fixes.

According to the official announcement post, the update adds support for the Watch Connect app. With this, users can now control their television using the OnePlus Watch. Apart from this nifty feature, the update also fixes some bugs.

On the other hand, the OTA7 for the OnePlus TV Q/U series also brought a built-in camera app for the new OnePlus TV Camera. Unfortunately, this accessory is not compatible with the OnePlus TV Y series. Hence, the OTA4 update does not bring this app.

That said, the OnePlus TV Y series OTA4 update is currently rolled out in batches. As per the brand, It should reach all users by June 18.

Chinese tech giant OnePlus today held a launch event in India where the affordable Nord CE smartphone was announced. As scheduled, the company has also launched the OnePlus TV U1S smart TV. The smart TV packs a top-notch 4K cinematic display blended with immersive audio as well as a rich array of curated content.

The OnePlus TV U1S is available in three screen sizes- 50-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch. All three models utilize cinematic display panels with slim bezels, 95% screen-to-body ratio, and support for 60Hz refresh rate as well as 300 nit brightness. The displays also come with Ultra-HD (4K) resolution as well as support for HDR10+ content.  While the 50-inch and 55-inch versions come with dual speakers of 30W output, the topmost 65-inch version features a quad-audio speaker setup consisting of two tweeters and two 30W speakers co-tuned by Dynaudio.

The OnePlus smart TV run on Android TV 10-based Oxygen Play 2.0 which brings several improvements over Oxygen Play 1.0. The OS brings support for Google Assistant, Kids Mode, Chromecast, and live channel.

Oneplus also unveiled a new plug-in camera for the smart TV dubbed OnePlus TV Camera. The camera is detachable and can be held in place thanks to the magnetic holder. The camera is connected to the TV via a USB cable and can be used for video calling. This suggests the camera can also be used with other smart TVs and electronic displays. The camera can connect easily to Google Duo and outputs wide-angle photos and videos, thanks to its 1080P camera with full HD resolution. The camera is equipped with dual microphones and noise cancellation algorithms, which ensures audio clarity and reduced background noise. The OnePlus TV Camera is sold separately, though, and is priced at Rs 2,499 (~$34).

Furthermore, the OnePlus TV U1S features a remote that looks like that of the Amazon Fire TV. The remote has shortcut keys for Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. The TV can also be controlled using the OnePlus Watch and via voice prompt with Google Voice Assistant.

The post New OnePlus TV U1S Series, OnePlus Plug-n-Play TV Camera leak reveals design, specs, and price appeared first on Gizmochina.

Yesterday, news broke out that a new OnePlus TV U1S series will be soon launching in India. Some of the key features of these televisions were revealed as well. Today, another leak exposes more specs, price, as well as launch timeline of these smart TVs.

The initial OnePlus TV U1S series leak by Ishan Agarwal said so many things about these televisions that we thought that there was nothing left to learn more about them. But we turned out to be wrong since the new leak by Yogesh (via MySmartPrice) reveals some tidbits that now help us complete the entire spec sheet of the upcoming OnePlus smart TVs.

As per the latest leak, the OnePlus TV U1S series will be powered by a MediaTek chipset coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. These televisions will come equipped with DLED (direct LED) panel with around a 95% screen-to-body ratio.

The screen will have 1.07 billion colors, 93% DCI-P3 color gamut, ΔE<2 color accuracy, and 300 nits peak brightness. The new OnePlus TVs will also come with a low blue light mode and a new live TV section in OxygenPlay, which was recently introduced in the existing models via software update.

Further, according to Yogesh, the plug-n-play webcam accessory could be bundled with the 65-inch variant. This webcam will feature a fixed focus sensor, physical shutter, USB Type-C port, and a built-in microphone.

Lastly, the tipster says that the 50-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch variants of the OnePlus TV U1S series will be priced under ₹36,999, ₹42,999, and ₹59,999 respectively. In other words, they will cost ₹2,000-₹3,000 more than the Redmi Smart TV X series. These televisions are expected to launch in India in the next 4-6 weeks.

According to the previous report, the OnePlus TV U1S series will sport an LED-backlit LCD panel with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K), 60Hz refresh rate, HDR 10+, HLG, and MEMC. The televisions will feature Dolby Atmos-supported 30W speakers co-tuned by Dynaudio. However, they will only come with HDMI 2.0.

The post OnePlus TV U1S series price, more specs, and launch timeline revealed by another leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus entered the smart TV category in the second half of 2019 with the launch of the OnePlus TV Q1 series. The brand introduced the U1 and the Y1 series in 2021. It even added a new model in the latter series earlier this week. Now, according to a new leak, the company will be soon launching the OnePlus TV U1S series.

Although Oneplus has been selling smart TVs for almost two years, they are still exclusive to India. However, they are expected to make their way to Europe soon. Hence, it is not surprising to learn that the upcoming OnePlus TV U1S series will be first launching in India, as per tipster Ishan Agarwal, who has partnered with PriceBaba to share this information.

According to the leakster, the OnePlus TV U1S series will come in three sizes – 50-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch. All three models are said to sport an LED-backlit LCD panel with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (4K) and a 60Hz refresh rate.

The panel on these televisions will support HDR 10+, HLG, and MEMC. As for audio, the TVs will sport Dolby Atmos-supported 30W speakers co-tuned by Dynaudio. But interestingly, they will only feature HDMI 2.0 when rival Xiaomi offers products with HDMI 2.1.

On the software front, the forthcoming OnePlus smart TVs will run outdated Android TV 10 operating system with OxygenPlay content aggregation service.

The main highlight of these televisions will be support for a detachable webcam accessory with a built-in microphone. Using this accessory, users will be able to make 1080p video calls on Google Duo.

Unfortunately, there’s no word on the launch date and price of the OnePlus U1S series and the webcam accessory. But what we know is that this camera will be compatible with older OnePlus smart TVs.

As expected, OnePlus has launched the OnePlus TV 40Y1 in India today. This is the sixth OnePlus television for the country. As the name suggests, the new model is part of the OnePlus TV Y series. In other words, it is a budget smart TV targeted at first-time buyers.

OnePlus TV 40Y1 Specifications and Features

The OnePlus TV 40Y1 sports a 40-inch LED-backlit LCD panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, 93% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 93% screen-to-body ratio. The TV features a plastic build, and it can be either placed on a table or wall-mounted. However, unlike the stands that come in the box, the wall mount is sold separately.

The television is powered by an unknown 64-bit chipset coupled with 1 GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. It runs Android TV 9.0 Pie operating system with OxygenPlay content aggregation service. Further, it supports all the leading streaming services, Google Chromecast, Google Assistant, and even Amazon Alexa.

As for connectivity and ports, the TV comes with single-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, 2 x HDMI, 2 x USB, RF, optical digital audio port, 3-in-1 AV composite, and Ethernet. Whereas, for audio, the television features 2 x 10W (20W) speakers with support for Dolby Audio.

In 2019, OnePlus made its entry into the smart TV market with the OnePlus TV Q1 and the OnePlus TV Q1 Pro. It has gone on to announce more models that are more affordable than the premium Q1 and Q1 Pro. The thing is that none of these TVs are officially sold outside India, but that may change soon.

OnePlus’ CEO, Pete Lau, is reported to have disclosed to the press that it plans to bring its TVs to Europe in the future. This will pit it against Xiaomi, another Chinese phone manufacturer that has been selling its TVs in Europe for years. Unfortunately, there is no info on when the TVs will be launched in Europe.

When OnePlus eventually launches its TVs in Europe, they will most likely be imported which will raise their price tags compared to India where the TVs are manufactured.

In related news, Pete Lau also revealed that the company has no plans for a foldable device yet. The top executive believes there is still significant development that has to be made most especially with respect to the software. This should not come as a surprise as OnePlus is known to not be an early adopter when it comes to trends in the industry. The manufacturer didn’t launch a phone with support for wireless charging until last year, so something as monumental as a foldable device will take some time.

Other than smartphones, OnePlus also sells smart TVs. However, the brand’s televisions are only available in India. The OnePlus TV Q and U series are the company’s premium and mid-range TV offerings. The firm has released a new system update for these televisions called OTA7.

The main highlight of the OnePlus TV Q/U series OTA7 update is the inclusion of a new camera app. This appears to be the same update, which we reported last week. Because this software build was rolled out at around the same time.

For those unaware, OnePlus is expected to launch a webcam accessory for its smart TVs in India. This camera app will help users click photos as well as record videos. Users can also share those media to their phones with this application.

Further, this update also brings support for OnePlus Watch controls. Users of the OnePlus TV Q and U series can now control their television by accessing the ‘TV Connect’ on their OnePlus Watch if they own one.

Last but not least, the OxygenPlay content aggregation service gets Republic TV live channel, Sports Zone, and content rating. Also, the update brings a fix for the Bluetooth lag issue.

OnePlus TV Q/U Series OTA7 Official Changelog

• Add a built-in Camera app: Allows you to take photos or shoot videos and share them to your phone.
• OnePlus Watch: You can now control OnePlus TV using “TV Connect” app on OnePlus Watch.

The existence of the OnePlus plug & play webcam for smart TVs was made public by tipster Yogesh in partnership with MySmartPrice. The same team now brings details regarding the firmware update that is essential for this new upcoming accessory.

According to the leakster, the software build required to support the OnePlus plug & play webcam is ready. In fact, he has even shared three screenshots of this update. Out of these three, one of them shows the new ‘Camera’ app in the app drawer, another shows the main interface of this camera application, and the last image reveals the update changelog.

As per Yogesh, the screenshots he has shared are of the OnePlus TV Q series. However, going by the previous report, the OnePlus webcam will be compatible with all the OnePlus TV models sold in India except for the most affordable model – OnePlus TV 32Y1. Hence, a similar update should be rolling out to those TVs as well.

Anyway, as per the changelog, the new update that will be soon seeded out to users will not only bring the Camera app but also compatibility for OnePlus Watch controls and new OxygenPlay features like Sports Zone and content rating to name a couple.

OnePlus entered the smart TV market in the second half of 2019. Even after over a year, the brand’s televisions are still exclusive to India. Currently, the company sells a total of five TV models across different price segments. But it does not sell any accessories for them. Thankfully, that’s going to change with the launch of a webcam.

According to a report by MySmartPrice in collaboration with Twitter user Yogesh, OnePlus will be soon launching a webcam for its smart TVs. This product is said to have passed the prototype phase.

As per the report, the upcoming OnePlus webcam for smart televisions will be plug & play type and will also have a shutter, a microphone, and a USB Type-C port. This implementation reminds us of the recently launched TCL P725 Series TVs in India, which also come with a similar type of camera.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this OnePlus TV webcam except for the fact that it will not be compatible with the brand’s cheapest TV model – OnePlus TV 32Y1. That means this accessory will only work with OnePlus TV 43Y1, OnePlus TV 55U1, OnePlus TV Q1, and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro.

What are your thoughts on the OnePlus webcam accessory for its smart TVs? How much do you think it will cost? Do let us know in the comment section below.

Booth the TV models share common hardware except for the difference in panel size and resolution – HD (1366 x 768 pixels) and FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels). Hence, they run the same software build and are receiving update together.

OnePlus has just introduced Home Demo. It is a new web app that works with Google Chrome browser on your smartphones and helps you choose the right OnePlus TV through AR (Augmented Reality).

The AR Home Demo was launched to allow users to place the company’s OnePlus TV U and OnePlus TV Y series virtually in their homes. This lets customers size up the TV and the space it would take, rather than having to go to a physical store and get a rough estimate. In other words, this helps users choose the best possible fit while trying out different sizes.

Editor’s Pick: OPPO K7 5G with 6.4-inch display, SD765G, 32MP selfie camera, 48MP quad cameras launched for 1,999 Yuan (~$286)

At the moment, the web app only works with Google Chrome and other browsers like the Mi Browser are not supported. The smart TV models include the 32 inch OnePlus TV Y, 43 inch OnePlus TV Y, and 55 inch OnePlus TV U. The new web app aims at helping users make a more informed decision through AR that works with one’s smartphone camera.

Having tried it out ourselves, the Home Demo is largely accurate for the most part, but multiple attempts had to be taken to ensure maximum accuracy. Users can either mount the TVs to the wall or prop it on the table while also giving a complete 360 degree view of the model that was selected. So for those interested, you can click on the link here to try it out for yourself.

Last year, OnePlus entered the smart TV segment by announcing the OnePlus Q1 TV and OnePlus Q1 Pro TV. These premium offerings were priced at Rs. 69,900 (~$924) and Rs. 99,900 (~$1,321) in India, respectively. Recently, OnePlus confirmed that it will be introducing more affordable smart TV in India on July 2. Rumors surrounding the upcoming OnePlus TV have claimed that it will be arriving with a starting price of less than Rs. 20,000 (~$264). A new tweet from OnePlus suggests that the Chinese firm could be announcing its next smart TV in three sizes.

Earlier this month, the Bluetooth SIG authority certified 32-inch and 43-inch editions of its upcoming OnePlus TV. The official tweet from the company suggests that 32-inch model could be priced Rs. 19,999 (~$264) or less. The 43-inch may cost Rs. 29,999 (~$397) or less.

The Rs. 4X,999 pricing could belong to a larger 55-inch edition. These three TVs could be a part of a new TV lineup from the company. The 32-inch model may arrive with support for HD resolution. The other two models may support Full HD and Quad HD resolution, respectively. With such pricing, OnePlus is expected to rival the likes of Xiaomi, Nokia, and Vu in India.

The pre-bookings of the upcoming OnePlus TV have started on Amazon India. Those who pre-book it will be able to take advantage of the 2-year extended warranty for free.

The detailed specs of the three models are under wraps. The company has confirmed that the new TV has a 6.9mm super-slim body and it offers a screen-to-body ratio of 95 percent. This indicates that it will be equipped with very thin bezels. It will arrive with support for 93 percent DCI-P3 color gamut. Also, it will carry support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

The post Upcoming OnePlus TV to arrive in three variants with under Rs. 19,999 (~$264) starting price appeared first on Gizmochina.

Back in 2019, OnePlus entered the TV market with its own offering of smart TVs. The OnePlus TV Q1 and Q1 Pro marked its entry into the category and aimed at the premium segment of the market. Now, OnePlus is planning on launching more affordable offerings as well, whilst also focusing on differentiating its products from its competitors.

OnePlus CEO, Pete Lau, recently gave an interview with AndroidCentral where he discussed the upcoming TV lineup. The senior executive stated that the company is heavily invested in the design of all of its offerings, believing that design is one of the most crucial aspects through which a product is differentiated. This will rely on two key factors, namely design and user experience.

Furthermore, Lau mentioned that despite OnePlus’ focus on the budget segment, the company will not be compromising in terms of design. This is backed by the company’s upcoming TV featuring an ultra thin design of just 6.9mm. To put this thinness into perspective, the OnePlus 8 was placed against the TV as a comparison. Keep in mind, the TV will not just be this slim all throughout, and will likely have certain areas like the bottom being thicker due to necessary components.

For audio, Pete stated that the company will be using an innovative acoustic arrangement, which will have its speakers rotated by 90 degrees. This allowed the company to house two large full range speakers that offer “50% deeper bass.” According to the senior official, the main idea was to deliver a “burdenless experience” and have the TV be a “projection of the user’s personality.”

OnePlus is also trimming the bezels down for its upcoming lineup. This is a feature more common on premium segments rather than the budget one. Lau revealed that the new TVs will have a high screen to body ratio of 95 percent which will be coupled with a 93% DCI-P3 color gamut that will make it “stand out as a better viewing experience among TVs in the segment.”

OnePlus is all set to launch its all-new OnePlus Smart TV series with affordable pricing in the Indian market on 2nd July. Now, just days before the official launch, the company has started taking pre-orders for the same.

Those who are interesting in this upcoming OnePlus TV series can now pre-order the product from Amazon.in. Those who pre-book the TV series by 2nd July can get the 2-Year Extended Warranty for ₹1,000 instead of its full price of ₹3,000.

Also, they’ll get ₹1,000 cashback on Amazon Pay account, thus rendering the extended warranty for free. However, the company has put up a condition that the user needs to complete the ordering process before 5th August.

So far, the company has confirmed that the upcoming OnePlus TV series with affordable pricing will feature a bezel-less ‘Cinematic’ display with 93 percent DCI-P3 color gamut and Dolby Vision support. It is also teased to feature a 95 percent screen-to-body ratio, which is really something to look forward to in a budget model.

OnePlus has also revealed that the pricing will start under ₹20,000, which is very low compared to the pricing of the OnePlus TV Q1 series that was launched in India last year. However, the company is yet to reveal more details about the TVs.

If the leaks and reports are to be believed, then the Chinese company is all set to launch two TV models in India — 32-inch and 43-inch as they have been certified by Bluetooth SIG ahead of the launch, along with their remotes.

Some are speculating that the upcoming affordable OnePlus TV units share the same hardware as the recently launched Realme Smart TV models. This might be true as both the companies are part of BBK Electronics. However, to know if the reports are true or not, we’ll have to wait for a few more days for the official launch event to take place.

Meanwhile, the company is also set to launch a new budget smartphone series in the Indian market in July this year. The phone has been leaked as OnePlus 8 Lite and OnePlus Z but could get launched as OnePlus Nord. While the exact launch date is not yet known, the company has officially announced this new affordable smartphone series.

OnePlus started off with the “Never Settle” strategy and “Flagship Killer” smartphone that offered high-end specifications at an affordable price point. With time, the company kept adding premium features to its devices and kept increasing prices of its smartphones gradually, eventually becoming a premium brand.

But, the company is now going back to its roots. And not just that, the Chinese brand is now set to expand its product offerings and wants to create its own ecosystem. The company has already launched smartphones, earphones, and smart televisions.

When talking about the ecosystem, the company isn’t limiting itself to just product offerings and price segment but is also looking to develop an ecosystem with consistent design principles and customer experience.

Navnit Nakra, VP and Chief Strategy Officer of OnePlus India, in an interview with TechPP, said that the company has now decided to expand from just the premium and super-premium devices to the premium and accessible connected ecosystem in the country.

He also revealed two parts of the strategy — one focused on the consumers who value quality and great price point and another where the customers are looking at an ecosystem experience and not just a smartphone.

In line with its new strategy, the company is now set to launch its new affordable Smart TV lineup in the Indian market on 2nd July. OnePlus has also confirmed the starting price below ₹20,000 for the upcoming TVs. The company had launched the OnePlus TV Q1 and Q1 Pro exclusively in India last year at a premium price.

Apart from the smart TV, OnePlus is also set to launch a new mid-range smartphone in the market, years after its first such device, OnePlus X. The upcoming phone from the company is speculated to be named OnePlus Nord or OnePlus Z, which was earlier leaked as OnePlus 8 Lite and is set to go official in India next month.

OnePlus CEO Pete Lau earlier today confirmed that the company would launch the much-touted OnePlus TV on June 2. The smart TV has now reportedly been certified by Bluetooth SIG ahead of its launch.

The certification reveals the presence of two models – a 32-inch model and 43-inch variant. The remote controls for the two smart TVs were also certified. The 32-inch model comes with the model number 32HA0A00 while the 43-inch version has model number 43FA0A00 from which we infer the screen sizes.

Pete Lau also hinted that the smarter TV will come with an affordable pricing. This isn’t OnePlus’ first smart TV as the company took the veil off the OnePlus Q1 and Q1 Pro premium smart TVs last year in India. The Q1 is priced at INR69,900 while the Pro model carries a price tag of INR99,900. But Amazon India posted a landing page for the upcoming launch and subsequent sale, revealing prices will be starting from INR1X,999. There are rumours it could start at INR15,000 but if it goes higher, the highest it could get is INR19,999 (~$265).

There are speculations that OnePlus TV may share hardware with the Realme TV which also features a 32-inch and 43-inch model. This may be true since both companies are BBK subsidiaries.

Last year in September, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus TV Q1 and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro in India. The Q1 is priced at Rs. 69,900 whereas the Pro model carries a price tag of Rs. 99,900. Today, OnePlus founder and CEO Pete Lau took to Twitter to confirm that the company will be launching a new OnePlus TV on July 2 in India. The new TV is expected to arrive at affordable pricing.

The next smart TV from OnePlus for India will have a “smarter price.” With the new TV, the company aims to bring premium smart TV experience more accessible to the Indian community. Hence, it is likely that the upcoming OnePlus TV could be cheaper than the OnePlus TV Q1.

OnePlus launched its first smart TVs, Q1 and Q1 Pro ahead of Diwali festive season last year in India. Unlike TVs from Xiaomi, the OnePlus’ offerings are premium models with QLED panel and come with a hefty price tag. But it still has issues with software just like any other brand. To fix it, the company has been seeding out updates since its launch. Currently, the brand’s TVs are receiving their fourth update called OnePlus TV OTA4.

According to the announcement post for the new update on OnePlus Community, OnePlus TV OTA3, the last update for Q1/Q1 Pro introduced some bugs. So the latest update is all about fixing it and adding support for third-party AirPlay service apps.

OnePlus TV OTA4 Official Changelog

• Match the setting value of Color Space, Brightness and MEMC with actual display effect more accurately.
• Enhanced Ultra Smooth effect to make it more obvious in display.
• Corrected the version rollback issues of certain downloaded apps after OTA upgrade.
• Improved the experience around Netflix server connectivity.
• Fixed the MX Player installation error.
• Added support for third party AirPlay service apps.

Like any other OTA update, the new update for OnePlus TV Q1/Q1 Pro is being seeded out in batches. But interested users can share their unit’s serial number with Catherine W (OnePlus TV software engineer) on OnePlus community to receive the update early.

This morning, OnePlus CEO Liu Zuohu shared a questionnaire on Weibo. The questionnaire is all about knowing the TV usage habits and purchase preferences of the consumers in China. It suggests that the company could be planning to soon introduce its high-end TV lineup in China.

Last year in September, OnePlus introduce the OnePlus TV Q1 series in India. Even though China is the home market for the brand, the country didn’t receive the OnePlus TV Q1 series. It remains to be seen whether OnePlus will launch OnePlus TV Q1 and Q1 Pro or entirely new series in China.

Last month, a new OnePlus TV with model number 55UA0A00 was seen at the database of Bluetooth SIG. The listing suggested that it could be a 55-inch TV with Bluetooth 5.0 support. The new remote control that was spotted at the same certification site revealed it has an RC-003A model number and it supports Bluetooth 4.2.

There is a possibility that this model may debut first in China. OnePlus will reportedly launch the OnePlus Z 5G phone in July. It will be arriving as a mid-range addition to the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro flagship phones that debuted in April. It remains to be seen whether the new OnePlus TV that was spotted at Bluetooth SIG may debut along with the OnePlus Z.

The OnePlus TV Q1 and Q1 Pro are priced at Rs. 69,900 (~$913) and Rs. 99,000 (~$1,311), respectively. They feature 55-inch QLED displays that offer 4K resolution and are equipped with the Gamma Magic Color picture processor for enhanced viewing experience. The Q1 duo comes with a unique stand and Kevlar-like finish on their rear.

OnePlus entered the smart TV market last year with its OnePlus TV Q1 / Q1 Pro. These televisions are still limited to India, the company’s largest market. They are yet to be a year old but the company is already set to launch a newer model with an updated processor.

A new OnePlus TV and OnePlus Remote Control have been recently spotted by 9to5Google on Bluetooth SIG (Special Interest Group). The only info they can garner is that this new TV with model number ‘55UA0A00’ could be powered by an updated processor and will feature a 55-inch panel. 

Additionally, it will also come with a new remote, which is strange as most brands use the same remote for their particular series or even whole portfolio in some cases.

The already available TV models are powered by MediaTek MT5670 chipset. This chip was only unveiled a day before the launch of OnPlus TV Q1 / Q1 Pro. Hence, the same could happen for the upcoming TV as well.

Further, the OnePlus TV Q1 series sport a 55-inch QLED panel and run Android TV with OxygenPlay content integration service in partnership with multiple OTT platforms. The only difference between the ‘Regular’ and the ‘Pro’ version is the inclusion of retractable speakers.

The OnePlus TV Q1 and Q1 Pro retail for ₹69,899 ($923) and ₹99,899 ($1,399)  in India.

Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus is looking to start manufacturing its range of televisions in India starting the first quarter of 2020. OnePlus plans to leverage its position in the local market, and turn it into a production hub for global supplies. The company plans to follow Samsung’s lead by localizing parts supply, which in turn directly leads to minimizing expenses.

Vikas Agarwal, General Manager for OnePlus India, in a statement revealed that the company is currently in talks with its global component supplier to invest in India. Every major component for manufacturing televisions is currently imported. Localization will help reduce costs in the long run. OnePlus currently plans to assemble smart TVs in India at a partner’s facility. Importing television components and assembling them here will help save on taxes for the time being.

The Indian government abolished import duty on open cell television panels last year to strengthen its ‘Make in India’ initiative. According to the Economic Times, industry sources claim OnePlus is in advance stages of negotiation with local firm Dixon Technologies for assembling its TV lineup. Dixon currently manufactures TVs for some of the biggest brands like Samsung, Panasonic, and Xiaomi. Neither OnePlus nor Dixon has officially commented on the subject.

In a major development last week, Samsung announced its return to manufacturing television sets in India following the government’s decision on eliminating import duties on open cell panels. Chinese tech giant Xiaomi is keen on expanding its manufacturing setup in the country. Sony and LG have also expressed interest in investing in India following the development.

Agarwal mentions that OnePlus is currently focusing on the company’s core user base of 5 million people to help boost television sales. The OnePlus TV is currently available on Amazon India, Croma, and OnePlus stores throughout the country. They plan on expanding sales via large-format sellers, a strategy previously used during the initial days of selling smartphones in India.

According to Agarwal, “Smart television sales currently account for 10% of the domestic market, and is projected to grow exponentially within the next couple of years”. The competition is real and OnePlus plans to gear up to survive the test of time. The brand currently has over 30 stores in 15 cities around India, and they plan to reach more than 50 cities and 100 stores by the end of 2020.

Although the Indian stores are operated by OnePlus, a business partner is in charge of managing sales. Agarwal confirmed that the company is not looking to change this structure anytime soon. He said, “Selling smartphones is a priority. We plan on making out portfolio available to general trade outlets. We have already partnered with Redington in this endeavor.”
