“This festive season, Smart TVs are dominating the market like never before. The pandemic
has accelerated the adoption of smarter and more digitally-savvy lifestyle, prompting
consumers to adopt Smart TVs in an affordable manner - equally from metros and non-metro
cities of India. As consumers plan their festive season shopping, we want to ensure that they
have a wide range of choices across specifications, variants, and design. Towards this
endeavor, we are excited to strengthen our collaboration with Nokia to bring a wider suite of
Nokia Smart TVs to India to address the much-needed market gap of value-for-money Smart
TV range.”

with Flipkart on their lineup of Nokia Smart TVs to offer our audio solution as part of our
“Sound by Onkyo” program. Our engineers worked meticulously to create a sound profile
equivalent to one in our own products. We hope many will enjoy the sound quality in the
Nokia Smart TV lineup.”
According to the TV and smartphone consumption report by BARC India and Nielsen,
Indians have been spending more time watching television with every passing week as
they continue to stay indoors. As consumers increasingly rely on their television sets to
entertain themselves ( through sports, gaming, and movies) and inform themselves
(through news) amidst restrictions and curbs, Smart TVs can be pegged as the
one-stop-shop for their needs.
To bring additional cheer to consumers this festive season, the Nokia Smart TV range
will also have exciting offers from Spotify - a leading global audio streaming service with
over 4 billion curated, algorithmic, and user created music playlists across languages,
moods, and moments, as well as over 1.5 million podcasts.
