What sets the OnePlus TVs apart from other TVs is the connectivity with OnePlus phones.
Full details on how OnePlus phones will work with the OnePlus TVs aren't yet clear, but OnePlus does show a few use cases, like using a OnePlus phone as a trackpad to swipe around the OnePlus TV's apps and Android TV operating system, and for media controls. You could also use a OnePlus phone to type things to the TV, or use your voice and Google Assistant to open apps or search for things to watch.
