Kodak TV India launches seven TV variants

Kodak TV India has announced seven TV variants under its XPRO and CA series, delivering a complete work from home and entertainment solution, post the COVID-19 lockdown.

Starting at under INR 10,999, 7XPRO Android TVs will be available in six variants 32-inch (HD), 40-inch (Full HD), 43-inch (Full HD & Ultra HD), 50-inch (Ultra HD) and 55-inch (Ultra HD); while the new 75 inch CA series will be available for INR 99,999. These will be available on Amazon and Flipkart from Aug 6, 2020.

With this Kodak TV India becomes among the first partners for Google’s Certified Android TVs in India. The models have been entirely researched and tested in the country by Kodak TV India.

Google recently announced an investment of $10 billion in India, to support its partners and give a major thrust to its Android TV partnerships. Kodak TV India anticipates that like the 450 million smartphone users in India, smart TV users will also increase significantly, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With an integrated Google Assistant, the Kodak TVs offer a large screen for Chromecast video meetings, documents and built-in apps, such as YouTube Learning and Google classroom, assisting in learning and upgradation. Customers can also cast photos, videos, music and other content. The XPRO variants are also loaded with features such as an RM Cortex-A53 Quad core processor, an Android 9.0 interface, and multiple connectivity options with USB 2.0, HDMI ARC/CEC and Bluetooth v. 4.1 that has a user-friendly remote control.

Kodak TVs will also serve as a single platform for smart homes. With integrated Google maps, users can search routes in over 700 cities, control smart lights and identify COVID-19 relief centres within a radius of three kms.

Along with the launch, Kodak TV India also announced an investment of Rs 500 crore in a fully certified Android TV manufacturing plant with complete backward integration and an R&D centre.

“We are proud to be recognised as Google’s official partner for Android TVs, which have enhanced customer experience. These new variants are an outcome of investments that we made in technology research within India. With the 75-inch CA series model, we will be a tough competitor in the premium affordable Smart TV segment.” He added, “Content consumption patterns have changed due to COVID-19 and Kodak 7XPRO is a certified Google Android TV that optimises data usage across 5,00,000 movies, shows, games and music available onthe Google Play Store,” said Avneet Singh Marwah, Director and CEO, Super Plastronics Pvt Ltd
