, the two BBK-owned brands are reportedly exiting the television market in India as per Times of India citing an anonymous source. Those two companies forayed into the country’s TV segment back in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Both OnePlus and Realme enjoyed success and growth due to competitive pricing and premium features that helped them challenge established brands like LG, Samsung, Sony, etc. Hence their exit comes as a sudden surprise.
TOI also reports that OnePlus and Realme will halt the production and sale of televisions in the country. However, they will continue with their smartphone business. Both companies are yet to share an official statement on the matter. While OnePlus and Realme’s reported exit is surprising, Xiaomi continues to thrive in the television segment in India.
