The first to launch both Android TV and AI TV in the country, SKYWORTH continues their motto of leading the future as the first high-end television brand to now launch the biggest Android TV South Africa has ever seen. Launched virtually across their social platforms last night, the showcase of the 86” SUC9500 was one of two very big ‘wow’ factors. The other being the announcement of SKYWORTH’s partnership with one of South Africa’s biggest celebrities, literally and figuratively, Tendai ‘Beast’ Mtawarira – a partnership facilitated by Roc Nation Sports.
“Over the last year and a half it’s become clear that home is not only where the heart is but where the entertainment is. We’re not just living at home, we’re working from home, exercising at home and connecting to the outside world from our homes. It was the logical next step for the brand to launch a product that could rival any entertainment centre out there, a product to make you feel as if you’re part of something bigger and something ground-breaking,” explains Jaco Joubert, SKYWORTH brand manager.
He adds that the partnership with Beast was a natural fit for the brand. “Who better to help us launch this ‘Beast’ of a TV than Beast himself? A family man who loves his sport and entertainment at his fingertips, SKYWORTH will make sure he never misses a game, a movie, and his favourite series.” Plus, the timing couldn’t have been better, with the Springbok VS Irish & British Lions series around the corner.
“I love nothing more than gathering around the TV to watch a movie and enjoy a meal with my family on a Friday night after a long work week. The kids pick the movie so it’s more often than not an animation. However, having access to SKYWORTH’s world-class products like the 86” SUC9500 allows us to have a cinema experience in the comfort and safety of our own home, making any animation really special. Entertainment is a big part of my life, whether it’s watching TV, listening to music, or dancing, I am looking forward to my journey with the SKYWORTH family,” Beast explains.
The SKYWORTH features consumers have come to know, and love, take pride of place in this, the biggest Android TV in South Africa. The 86” SUC9500 isn’t simply a TV it’s your home’s entertainment hub, and one that you can control from up to five metres away. The Hands-Free Voice Control means no more fussing with a remote when you’re in the kitchen, in the room next door, or you simply don’t feel like getting up off the comfy couch to find the remote.
The TV’s Boundless Screen makes it easy on the eyes, whether it’s on or off, so no more trying to hide your TV in a cabinet or with a piece of art, it’s a work of art in itself. Other features include unlimited Google Play Store access, the latest Android 10 Operating System, Super Hardware Configuration, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Two-Way Bluetooth Transmission and Castplay to name a few.
Through ground-breaking innovations like these SKYWORTH continue to evolve and reinvent the standard of smart living.
