You know how it is with so-called budget TV brands. They become not-so-budget after in the market for sometime. Having said that, if you are in the market for a budget with modern features and your go-to budget brand is no longer within your budget, you may want to check out a new brand in town. The name is KONKA.
KONKA is, you guessed it, from China – the same company behind the world’s Micro LED watch. It entered the U.S. market last year and while you may not find them in brick and mortar stores, they are available on Amazon.
Earlier this month, KONKA North America, LLC, has revealed its 2021 Android TV lineup with three Series and the brand’s first 82-inch super large TV model.
With the new 2021 Android TV, the brand also officially enter the smart home market, touting their Android TVs “as the Hub of a KONKA Smart Home.”
