On the last day of last month, two new TV products of OPPO passed the national 3C certification. The certification information showed 55 inches and 65 inches models, respectively. As they are got certified, there is every reason to think that the first OPPO TV will hit the market quite soon.
Back in 2018, we predicted that other smartphone makers will enter the smart TV market.
This afternoon, Liu Bo, Vice President of OPPO and President of China, released an internal letter to partners in China today.
In the letter, Liu Bo said that ‘the integration of all things is a great opportunity given to us by the times, and IoT is a new wave in this great opportunity. We have the overall thinking and layout for this. Our IoT needs to form a strategy that focuses on the needs of users, believes in the power of simple focus, and achieves the ultimate product one by one, and ultimately constitutes a strong momentum like playing Go. After the launch of smart bracelets and watches, our first smart TV will soon meet with consumers.’
Liu Bo said that ‘at present, many people only regard smart TVs as a substitute for traditional TVs. In OPPO’s view, many users’ needs for TVs have not been met. We aim to re-inspire users’ interest in smart TVs. It may become a key product in the smart home.
