OPPO has made its foray into the smart TV market with the launch of the OPPO TV R1 and OPPO TV S1 TVs in China. The latter is a premium TV with a 4K QLED display and a price tag that converts to over $1000.

A review of the OPPO TV S1 has been uploaded on YouTube and it reveals that the TV ships with a similar remote to the one OnePlus shipped with its Q series. We are talking about the rechargeable remote (RC-001A) that eventually got replaced with the Netflix Remote (RC-002A).

The OPPO TV S1′ remote pictured above looks almost like the OnePlus RC-001A remote but differs with respect to the function of the buttons. The OnePlus button is the Home button while the Google Assistant button is the microphone button on OPPO’s remote. OPPO has also replaced the Prime Video button with the Input Source button, the overflow button with the power button, while the Home button on the OnePlus Remote is the overflow button on the OPPO remote. OPPO’s remote also has the manufacturer’s logo at the bottom.

We are not too surprised at the occurrence since both OPPO and OnePlus are sister companies. However, this remote wasn’t well-received, so it is disappointing that OPPO decided to launch its own smart TV with the same remote more than a year after OnePlus launched its TV.
