Ahead of the launch, Pete Lau has posted a new teaser that says “Fast, smooth, seamless control through your smartphone.” Needless to say, he is hinting at OnePlus TV’s integration with a smartphone. In all likelihood, OnePlus is adding new features that will allow you to use your smartphone as remote for OnePlus TV.

The GIF above shows OnePlus TV’s seamless integration with the smartphone in action. It shows a smartphone app. The letters typed on the smartphone app are appearing on OnePlus TV. Android TV’s have always been lacking a seamless and reliable way of typing. Going by the pictures we can make out that the feature is super fast and better than Android TV remote application. Furthermore, the user interface looks neat and easy to use.

Pete Lau has already teased the OnePlus TV remote. The images show off a touchpad and a USB-Type-C port on the remote.
