Streambox Media launches QLED TVs in India with subscription services
Streambox Media has launched its latest range of QLED TVs called Dor in India, the company announced on Tuesday. The Indian startup, which is backed by Micromax Informatics, Nikhil Kamath and Stride Ventures, is offering the TV a subscription-based service that negates the upfront cost of the QLED TV in favor of a TV-as-a-service model. However, an initial activation fee will be charged. Streambox Dor QLED TV is available in different sizes and is powered by the company’s proprietary operating system called DoOS.
Streambox Dor QLED TV Price in India
Streambox Dor QLED TV is available in sizes 43 inches, 55 inches and 65 inches. The most affordable option is the 43-inch QLED TV whose plan in India costs Rs. 799 per month during the first 12 months. Customers have to pay Rs. 10,799 upfront as activation fee, including the first month’s rate. They can also customize their plans when renewing subscriptions, starting from Rs. 299 per month.
It can be purchased on Flipkart from December 1. However, the company says that the larger 55-inch and 65-inch variants will be available next year.
The TV comes with a four-year warranty and is claimed to get four DoOS software updates. After 12 months of use, Streambox Dor TV users have the option to return the device to the seller and can enjoy up to Rs. 5,000 for it.
