This sounds like a great deal, specially considering the 'Nokia' name. I want it to be true, but it just feels like too good to be true..
Is this an arrangement where some unknown Chinese company makes a cheap white-label product & then Flipkart-Nokia is rebrand is as theirs- using Nokia's 'technial brand reach' & Flipkart's wide-distribution network ? The same way companies like Realme, OnePlus (& sometimes Mi) do too, using white-label products (or the same product) pass them off as their own..
Because a lot of the features sound just like marketing gimmicks--
1. 150% sound clarity over what ?
2. Microdimming improving contrast ? (I think only full array local dimming can improve the contrast ratio)
3. 'Focal AI engine' provided when  the TV uses a Cortex A-55 processor & Mali GPU, without any dedicated neural core. Can A-55 or Mali handle the AI 'functionalities' required for 4K content ? or the 'AI' is just for marketing ?

Feel like you are better off buying from Sony, Samsung or LG..
