Here's all you need to know about OnePlus TV.
OnePlus TV to offer 55-inch QLED display with 4K resolution
Based on several teasers and leaks, OnePlus TV is expected to debut as a flagship television with a 55-inch QLED display in India.
It will reportedly have a nearly bezel-less 4K display, with a density of 320 pixels per inch, as well as Dolby Vision support.
Notably, we could also see more screen sizes of the television, going up to 75-inches, in select markets.
Google-powered features will make OnePlus TV experience exemplary
While we expected OnePlus to offer a custom UI, the company has confirmed that the upcoming TV will have the Android TV experience.
It will offer "seamless" integration with smartphones and pack a range of Google-powered features, including Google Assistant, built-in Chromecast, Google Play Store, and much more.
Plus, updates will be served for three years in a row.
Android TV would largely upgrade your experience
With Android TV and Google-powered services, you would get a range of benefits on the OnePlus TV.
For instance, you would be able to download apps or cast content directly from apps on your phone to the television.
Plus, Google Assistant would also work just like it does on your phone, providing weather updates, instant music playback, and other smart capabilities on command.
OnePlus India General Manager confirmed the association with Google
"We believe that with our combined expertise, we can move even closer to improve the human experience through simplicity, efficiency, and intelligent functionality," OnePlus India General Manager Vikas Agarwal told India Today, adding that they are looking to expand their presence in the TV category.
Launch expected on September 26
Further, leaks indicate the OnePlus TV will mark its global debut with a launch in the Indian market on September 26.
The date has not been confirmed, but a September launch is certainly likely, considering the company has been working and teasing the TV for a long while now.
There is no word on the pricing but it may come as an Amazon-exclusive product.
