It's not exactly a secret that OnePlus plans to launch its own Smart TV. The biggest draw is that it'll launch at a "very competitive price." But not much else is known about until this new Bluetooth certification filing was discovered. It shows the possible screen sizes that will be available at launch (43", 55", 65", and 75")  and that it'll support Bluetooth 5.0 to connect the remote to the TV. And according to the documents, the model numbers seem to incorporate region codes, which at this moment include China (CN), United States (US), and India (IN). The Bluetooth filing also revealed that the Smart TV will be an Android TV. The TV is expected to launch in early 2020.

OnePlus clarifies the random notifications some OnePlus 7 Pro users received

If you’re a OnePlus 7 Pro user and received a baffling notification on your phone, then you should know you’re not alone and it was a mistake. The company clarified that the push notification wasn’t a result of a hack or attack. Instead, it was an error on the company’s part as they’re testing the Android Q update that’s set to be released later this year. OnePlus assures its users that their personal information wasn’t at risk and the company is implementing new processes to prevent this issue from happening again. The notifications the users got were jumbled up English letters and non-standard characters. When the notification is pressed, it would open up the web browser and show a “Page not found” message.
