About the OnePlus TV design, the 55” QLED OnePlus TV looks flamboyant with its tiny bezels around the top, left and right edge while the chin at the bottom is a bit large to accommodate the full-fledged OnePlus logo.

Speaking about the specifications, OnePlus has confirmed that OnePlus TV will have a 55” QLED display that will bear a 4K UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:9. Although we earlier reported that there are a few screen sizes available with OnePlus TV starting from 45” to 75”, OnePlus hasn’t really confirmed about it at least for the Indian launch on September 26 although it might showcase more variants at the October 10 global launch event.

It will have eight built-in speakers capable of producing an output of 50W and since the TV supports Dolby Atmos too, it will create a fully immersive surround sound experience like no other.
OnePlus posted an image of the remote that OnePlus TV will have which clearly shows the minimalistic yet futuristic design with a OnePlus button along with Google Assistant button along with a button for Menu, Back, and finally a Home button. Finally, the aluminum built remote shows a multi-directional navigational pad which is completely out-of-the-box. It is also expected that OnePlus TV remote will accept voice command as well.
OnePlus TV will run on Android TV as per a confirmation made by the company itself after it selected the Android TV OS as the suitable operating system to support the OnePlus ecosystem. In fact, OnePlus and Google will collectively work towards offering Android major updates, security and bug fixes for three years after it is released.
