Help deciding between TCL & Skyworth QLED Android Smart TV

[Tech_]

Hi All
My bro is in the market for either a 50", 55" or 65" QLED TV, he prefers a TV that runs Android/Google Smart
as opposed to WebOS (LG) and Vidaa (Hisense)

His budget can stretch to 10.5k and he narrowed his search down to pretty much TCL or Skyworth
I am not very familiar with either and there are mixed reviews online so if possible if any of you can give some input on these
brands and models.

TCL 65-inch UHD QLED Android Smart (C645) currently on promo for R10.5k (takealot)
Skyworth 65-inch UHD QLED Android Smart (SUE9500) for R9999.99 (takealot)

TCL 55-inch UHD QLED Android Smart (C645) currently on promo for R7999 (takealot)
Skyworth 55-inch UHD QLED Android Smart (SUE9500) for R8999.99 (takealot) / R7999 (game)

TCL 50-inch UHD QLED Android Smart (C645) currently on promo for R6799 (takealot)
Skyworth 50-inch UHD QLED Android Smart (SUE9500) for R6699.99 (takealot) / R6399 (loot)

Much Appreciated

Ok that obviously gives one peace of mind in terms of warranty and if there’s issues since JD group stores are everywhere and the fact they looking to establish themselves in the local market is a good thing.
Anybody have input on picture quality, sound quality and what about gaming on it (he plays ps5), smoothness of OS?
