Thanks to a partnership with two leading Internet companies—Alibaba and Tencent—the newest Konka TV has some pretty unique features. As a Chinese electronics manufacturer, Konka's new partnerships have the potential to redefine what it means to own a "smart" television.
The TV boasts a 4K resolution and runs on Alibaba's YunOS. Other features from Alibaba include systems for bill payment, games and access to e-commerce shopping sites where AliPay can easily be used to make purchases. From Tencent, some of the features that are included in the T60 Super Konka TV are WeChat and QQ instant messenger. In addition to all of these neat features, teaming up with Alibaba and Tencent was a strategic move to help Konka boost its online presence and become a worthy contender in the smart TV market.
