OnePlus founder & CEO Mr. Peter Lau is already taking a step into the television market and deciding to set foot in this field with their so-called “OnePlus TV”.
He wants to expand his Shenzen- based company to a variety of fields, not only just by staying in Smartphone business but exploring the plethora of electronics they can.
Just like, Xiaomi, who has already stepped into multiple platforms across the digital market; whether they are TVs, Speakers, Smartphones, Air Purifiers or, what not, imagine any electronic item and they are there.
HIGHLIGHTS
- OnePlus starts building its smart TV
- The new TV model is expected to have a “total connected” experience
- It will be a “premium, flagship TV”
The Shenzhen-based company is leveraging the OnePlus community, which is expected to have over five million members from 196 countries and regions across the globe to receive feedback on the official name of its first TV product.
What Mr. Lau had to speak?
“As other consumer electronics have evolved and improved our lives, televisions have remained conventional and cumbersome,” said Lau, in a press statement while announcing the new division. “We bring inherent advantages to the industry, and with this new division, we’re excited to explore the total connected user experience that can enhance everyday life.”
AI inbuilt SMART TVs
OnePlus hasn’t revealed any of the specs including the display panel size or even the operating system in its upcoming smart TV model. However, the company has suggested the presence of newer technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI).
“For most of us, there are four major environments we experience each day: the home, the workplace, the commute, and being on-the-move. The home – perhaps the most important environment experience – is just starting to enjoy the benefits of intelligent connectivity. Something that seems as simple as displaying the photos from your mobile phone to a television is still difficult to achieve. With the development of AI technology, our imagination is endless – and we are looking forward to the future,” said Lau.
To kick off the development of its smart TV, OnePlus has named TV product manager Stephen L. The executive is asking for community’s help to give the official name to the first TV product. However, the company is internally calling the model OnePlus TV.
The registration window for proposed names for the Smart TV is open until October 16, and 10 best entries will be selected on October 31. The company says that each of the 10 finalists will receive a pair of OnePlus Bullets Wireless worth ₹3,990.
Winners will be announced before December 17, and the participant who suggested the winning name will receive the first OnePlus TV as well as a trip to its launch event.
