Amidst all the rumors surrounding the upcoming OnePlus 6T, CEO Pete Lau revealed that the Chinese manufacturer is currently working on a smart TV. The company released a blog talking about the new Intelligent Connectivity that it is currently working on. The product will be called the “OnePlus TV” and years of development have already gone into the product.
With only five years of industry experience, it is truly a remarkable feat for the manufacturer to be able to push out a full-fledged smart TV in such a short time. The Chinese manufacturer is known for its competitively priced products that offer top of the line specifications at competitive price points. It is likely that the upcoming smart TV will be priced to go head to head with the best televisions in the market at a lower price point. Xiaomi has already managed to offer 4K HDR displays priced significantly lower than its competitors, and OnePlus may do just the same with more unique features and a custom OS that focuses on intelligent connectivity.
