The OnePlus TV Y sits as the most-budget offering in the OnePlus portfolio. Currently, the company sells two models under this series namely the OnePlus TV 32Y1 and 43Y1. As their name suggests, we’re looking at a smart TV with 32-inches and another one with 43-inches. Interestingly enough, both TVs also share similar specifications. The major difference is in the resolution. The smaller panel has an HD resolution with up to 1,366 x 768 pixels while the larger panel has FHD resolution with 1920 x 1080 pixels. This is the only difference, and for that reason, both TVs share a unified software. Hence, the update comes for both TVs at the same time.
