OnePlus Likely To Launch Webcam For Smart TVs In May

OnePlus was one of the smartphone brands that jumped onto the smart TV bandwagon back in 2019. While it has been over a year since the launch of the OnePlus smart TVs, these devices are still exclusive only to the Indian market. As of now, there are five smart TVs from the brand available across various price segments.

To date, the company does not sell any accessories for its smart TVs. Now, it looks like the situation is all set to change as there are speculations that OnePlus might launch a webcam for its smart TVs.

As per a report by MySmartPrice along with Yogesh, a Twitter user, OnePlus is gearing up to launch a webcam for its smart TVs. This accessory is claimed to have cleared the prototype stage.

Going by the report, the upcoming OnePlus webcam for the smart TVs is said to be a plug & play type and feature a shutter. It is believed 5o flaunt a USB Type-C port and a microphone too.

As of now, nothing much about the upcoming webcam from OnePlus is known except for the speculation that it will be compatible with the cheapest smart TV model - the OnePlus TV 32Y1.

When To Expect?

The OnePlus plug-and-play webcam is believed to be launched sometime in May. As of now, it remains to be seen if the company will launch other products alongside the webcam. Maybe, we can expect the company to bring more smart TVs to the market.
