The OnePlus TV coming next month is confirmed to
sport a 55" QLED display. Now some more details of this TV have surfaced. A screenshot of what appears to
be a Google Play Developer Console listing reveals that OnePlus TV, codenamed
"Dosa" (a South Indian dish), will be powered by a yet-unknown
MediaTek MT5670 SoC and have a Mali-G51 GPU in tow.
The OnePlus TV will have 3GB RAM and will run
Android Pie. The resolution is listed as 1080p, but that's likely for the menu,
with the TV switching to 4K when required. In an interview with Gadgets360,
OnePlus CEO Pete Lau revealed that the TV will run an "improved UI"
atop Android TV and that it will provide an enhanced experience to OnePlus
smartphone users, like offering a "seamless" way to enter a text on
the OnePlus TV using a OnePlus phone.
Lau further said that OnePlus TV won't be
budget-friendly like Xiaomi's Mi TV range as the company is "only focusing
on the flagship premium positioning" and that they are benchmarking
against premium products from Samsung and Sony.
However, OnePlus' offering will be slightly cheaper
than that of Samsung and Sony's because of its strategic partnership with
Amazon. OnePlus will launch its TV in India first, but it also has plans to
expand its availability in other markets. The company doesn't have a timeframe
for that, though.
