OnePlus is expected to announce the launch of its next smartphone, the OnePlus 6T, in the coming months but that’s not all the Chinese firm is planning.
It seems the technology firm now wants to produce larger screen devices in the form of smart TVs.
Speaking about the company’s vision Pete Lau, OnePlus Founder and CEO, 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.
“We bring inherent advantages to the industry, and with this new division, we’re excited to explore the total connected user experience that can enhance everyday life.”
OnePlus, says it wants to build premium flagship products that improve the human experience through simplicity, efficiency, and intelligent functionality.
And the company confirmed it will continue to welcome feedback and suggestions for what should be included in its new Smart TV.
“For most of us, there are four major environments we experience each day: the home, the workplace, the commute, and being on-the-move. The home – perhaps the most important environment experience – is just starting to enjoy the benefits of intelligent connectivity,” added Lau.
“Something that seems as simple as displaying the photos from your mobile phone to a television is still difficult to achieve. With the development of AI technology, our imagination is endless – and we are looking forward to the future.”
There’s no word on when on these TVs will arrive on the market but it could certainly shake things up.
OnePlus has already given its smartphone rivals plenty to think about with its low priced devices.

Along with new Smart TVs OnePlus has also just announced the launch of its new Type-C Bullets headphones.
The Type-C Bullets will echo the metal design of the OnePlus Bullets V2.
They include in-line controls, a mic for calls on-the-go, and pair beautifully with OnePlus devices, allowing users to adjust the sound enhancement configuration for a more customized sound.
Bullets will be priced the same as the existing Bullets V2, £15.99 in the UK, and will be available across online and offline channels.
