Oppo TV India launch tipped for next year, but will it follow Xiaomi Mi TV's success

Oppo already sells a big portfolio of smart televisions in China and it may bring them to India next year.

Oppo may be preparing to launch its first television in India, months after the debut in China. A new report has claimed that the Chinese company is finally ready to enter India’s TV market, which saw a record 65 per cent year-over-year uptick in the second quarter of 2021. The demand for televisions loaded with smart features, including those that come as a part of the Android TV operating system, is the reason why nearly every smartphone brand wants to sell a TV in India.

Oppo is the third BBK-owned company that will be sinking its teeth into the Indian TV market after Realme and OnePlus. And even though there is neck and neck competition, Oppo’s first smart television is likely to arrive early next year sometime around March in India, according to a report by 91Mobiles. There is no information on what TV models Oppo may be planning to launch, but it is going to be one of the latest K9-series that brings high-refresh rate LCD panels with HDR10+, HLG, and ColorOS TV 2.0 support. The highest-end model is the 75-inch TV K9 and if it comes to India, it will bear a premium price tag.
