OnePlus U1 series with 55-inch Smart TV for Rs.49,999!
OnePlus have been a part of the Smart TV segment for a while now. It had last year launched two premium smart TVs, OnePlus TV Q1 and OnePlus TV Q1 Pro. The Q1 series was the company’s premium offerings, starting at Rs.69,900. However, last year the pricing of the TVs brought in only a section of consumers as it was beyond the level of affordability for many. Therefore, to expand their consumer base, the company instead of another flagship TVs, have come up with more affordable mid-range priced TVs this year. The company has fared extremely well in terms of offering affordable TVs with all the right boxes checked for a powerful and affordable device.
OnePlus in a quote said, “The TVs are a step towards a future of inter-connectivity, with seamless integration into a home network and will deliver a premium experience across different screen sizes and price points.”
OnePlus has launched three new TV models in India under 2 series. There is the Y series with two models measuring 32-inch and 43-inch priced at Rs.12,999 and Rs.22,999 respectively while the price of the top-end U1 model with 55-inch 4K panel is capped at Rs.49,999, and we shall specifically look into the features and specifications of the U series in details.
