- April 2021 - Samsung launched its ultra-premium Neo QLED TV range, which has a nearly bezel-less Infinity One Design and true-to-life picture quality for a cinematic viewing experience. The line-up will be available in 5 sizes: 85-inch (2m 16cm), 75-inch (1m 89cm), 65-inch (1m 63cm), 55-inch (1m 38cm), and 50-inch (1m 25cm). Neo QLED TVs come with Samsung's proprietary, powerful Neo Quantum Processor with enhanced upscaling capabilities. Using up to 16 different neural network models, each trained in AI upscaling and deep learning technology, the Neo Quantum Processor can optimize picture quality to 4K and 8K picture output regardless of the input quality.
- May 2021 - OnePlus launched a 40-inch (100 cm) smart television under its Y-series on Flipkart.
