Oppo, the smartphone manufacturer, owned by the Chinese conglomerate BBK, has already entered the TV business in China, just like its other cousins OnePlus and Realme. While both OnePlus and Realme have already entered the Indian market, Oppo hasn’t yet ventured out of its local market.
However, this might be changing soon as, according to popular tipster Mukul Sharma, the Chinese company is expected to launch its smart TVs in India in the first quarter of 2022.
Oppo’s upcoming smart TVs are expected to be built around Oppo’s existing K9 series of TVs launched in China in May of this year. The K9 series of TVs initially offered three models with varying sizes of 43-inches, 55-inches, and 65-inches, while a 75-inch model was introduced later in September.
All the variants boast a 60Hz LED-backlit LCD panel capable of displaying HDR10+ content with support for Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) at a maximum resolution of up to 4K (3840×2160).
Apart from this, the TV comes with support for the latest HDMI 2.1 technology, which is useless as all the models of the TV do not support refresh rates higher than 60 Hz or resolution higher than 4K (3840×2160) to take full advantage of the bandwidth provided by HDMI 2.1 which is capable enough to display 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz.
While in terms of processing power, all the TVs are powered by a MediaTek MT9652 chipset, an SoC consisting of a quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 CPU, and an ARM Mali-G52 MC1 GPU, paired with Oppo’s ColorOS TV 2.0 operating system.

We still cannot confirm or deny the specs of the TVs officially, so take this with a grain of salt, and if Oppo is going to launch its TVs in India, we might hear more about it in the coming months.
