OnePlus TV Long Term Impressions

OnePlus TV 2020 pricing vs competition

The OnePlus TV Y series is positioned as the more affordable offering, priced at Rs. 12,999 for the 32-inch variant, and at Rs. 22,999 for the 43-inch variant. With its pricing and features, the televisions will take on recent launches such as the Realme Smart TV and Vu Cinema TV range, which are also available in 32-inch and 43-inch variants. OnePlus hopes that its design, performance, record with software updates, and promise of performance will win over buyers in this segment.

The OnePlus TV Y Series 32-inch is priced at Rs. 12,999

On the other hand, the OnePlus TV U-series television, at Rs. 49,999 is priced a fair bit higher than competing products such as the Vu Premium 4K Android TV and Mi TV 4X range.

However, the design and software features of the television help it stand out, as does the promise of better performance. Nonetheless, it might be hard to convince buyers to spend the extra money on this, given that the affordable options in this segment are nearly as capable in terms of software, features, and performance. Furthermore, QLED options such as the TCL 55C715 are available for only a slightly higher price, and may be more attractive for mid-range TV buyers.
