This is a similar arrangement as to the one Nokia has entered in with HMD Global for its smartphones. Nokia will be licensing its name to Flipkart for manufacturing and selling its TVs for a fee. This will be a comeback for Nokia in the television market, to recall, the company did foray into the line of widescreen TVs back in the mid-90s, however, its efforts did not manage to go mainstream.

Nokia is not the only brand from the mobile world, which is jumping into the smart TV business. OnePlus introduced its OnePlus TV Q1 Pro and TV Q1 back in September. Motorola also partnered with Flipkart to allow the use of its brand name for Smart TVs.

One smartphone player which has done exceedingly well in the Smart TV space in India is Xiaomi, which has managed to capture a big chunk of the market in India thanks to its aggressive prices and back-to-back launches.
