To recall, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau had announced last year that the company does have plans to enter the smart TV segment. In May this year, when OnePlus 7 Pro and OnePlus 7 were launched, the company was expected to give more information about it, however, it maintained silence on the matter. Now, a leak has surfaced online by renowned tipster Ishan Agarwal and it suggests that the launch of the OnePlus TV “might be soon.” In his tweet, Agarwal said, “Have some good news for you all: The OnePlus TV is not very far away, at least according to one source. The launch might be soon, so stay tuned. I have very high expectations from it, what about you?” We should mention that according to Agarwal, unlike other premium TVs, the television from OnePlus would not sport an OLED screen.

Speaking about the upcoming offering, Lau had said, “I dream about a time when technology is truly seamless, an effortless part of your life without being the focus. As other consumer electronics have evolved and improved our lives, televisions have remained conventional and cumbersome.”

The new offering by the company is said to come with premium and high-quality hardware, a smooth user experience and much like other products from OnePlus it is expected to sport a minimalistic design.
Considering that the technology brand already has scores of fans across the globe, it wouldn’t take much to get people interested in the upcoming TV. However, only time will tell whether or not it manages to create a mark. For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
