Onida, officially known as MIRC Electronics, is an Indian TV brand, and its CRT TV was very popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. After being initially hit by the wave of plasma TVs, LCD and LED TVs, and after competition from international brands such as Samsung, Sony and LG, Onida has transformed into a smart TV brand and now has a good Android TV product portfolio. Through cooperation with Amazon India, Onida has now launched two new smart TVs, bringing Fire TV software experience to these TVs, and skipping the requirement to purchase an Amazon Fire TV Stick separately.
