It was in September last year that OnePlus first ventured into the world of smart televisions. But to deliver premium quality, the manufacturer had to stretch its price a little.
In the end, there were several users asking for a cheap version of Smart TVs launched by the manufacturer. And after hearing the requests, OnePlus will present a new model as early as July 2nd.
The confirmation was left by Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus, on Twitter. “It is official. We will make our premium Smart TV experience more accessible for our Indian community, ” he wrote.
