Thomson Oath Pro Series pricing and competition 2xo6y
The Thomson Oath Pro series goes up against strong competition in the affordable 4K TV segment, but hopes to win over buyers with strong pricing. The 43-inch variant of the Thomson OATH Pro 4K TV is priced at Rs. 24,999, the 55-inch variant retails at Rs. 32,999, and the 65-inch variant goes for Rs. 52,999. All three will be available to buy on Flipkart starting July 3.
The TVs take on existing brands such as Vu and Xiaomi, along with an series of TVs from OnePlus. The OnePlus TV launch is set for July 2, and is expected to have three variants with prices starting at under Rs. 20,000.
While we expect the affordable variants to not directly compete with the new Thomson Oath Pro series, the higher-end variant is priced at over Rs. 40,000. Thomson hopes that its strong pricing will be enough to win over buyers who were considering picking up the new OnePlus TV, or even options such as the Vu 4K Android TV, both of which are priced similarly to the Thomson Oath Pro series.
