To be fair, this kid of confirms the addition of the feature but we won’t know until we hear it from the horses’ mouth. The idea here is that OnePlus could have designed its own app so that users can actually use their smartphones as a sort of remote. Of course, the remote will always be your first go-to option but it is nice to have the choice of using your smartphone as a TV remote. 

In another revealing tweet, Pete Lau tweeted out a gif showing how deep smartphone integration was going to be. The teaser shows how you could use your smartphone as a form of text input for the television. It actually looks like it would be much easier to use the phone as it is faster and more intuitive than a TV remote when it comes to entering text.
