He added, “The home_—perhaps the most important environment experience—_is just starting to enjoy the benefits of intelligent connectivity. 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.” The brand plans to use its expertise over the years in terms of hardware, software and design, in the making of the OnePlus TV.
