Sony has officially unveiled its new high-end OLED TV lineup, the BRAVIA 8 II, taking a step beyond the current BRAVIA 8 series and replacing the previous A95L model. With the introduction of the BRAVIA 8 II, Sony aims to deliver an upgraded home theater experience by combining its most advanced image optimization technologies with the next-generation QD-OLED panel.
This new series joins the 2025 BRAVIA lineup alongside the Mini LED BRAVIA 5 and the Direct LED BRAVIA 3 televisions, as well as the new BRAVIA Theatre Bar 6 and Theatre System 6. Positioned at the top tier, the BRAVIA 8 II is built to impress users looking for cinematic visuals and immersive sound at home.
A Premium Display with Cutting-Edge Image Processing
What sets the BRAVIA 8 II apart is its QD-OLED display, similar to the Samsung S95F, offering deeper blacks and wider color coverage than traditional white OLED TVs like LG’s G5. The QD-OLED panel ensures a richer and more vibrant picture, perfect for movie lovers and demanding viewers alike.
Sony has equipped the BRAVIA 8 II with its exclusive XR processor, designed to deliver exceptional picture quality with lifelike colors and ultra-sharp detail. The processor leverages AI-based scene recognition to analyze each frame in real time, enhancing visuals dynamically for every type of content.
The TV also includes the XR Triluminos Max technology, providing a significant leap in brightness. Sony reports that the BRAVIA 8 II is 25% brighter than its predecessor, the A95L, and delivers 50% more brightness compared to the current BRAVIA 8 with a White-OLED panel.
Contrast performance is enhanced with the XR Contrast Booster 75, which improves black levels and dynamic range for a more cinematic experience. Clarity is handled by XR Clear Image, while XR Smoothing works to create fluid, natural motion, especially during fast-moving scenes.
Sleek Design with Smart Features Built In
Visually, the BRAVIA 8 II boasts Sony’s “One Slate” design concept, where the screen and bezel merge into a single sleek surface. The two discreet aluminum legs are placed at the far edges of the TV, emphasizing minimalism and allowing viewers to focus entirely on the content without distraction.
On the software side, the BRAVIA 8 II runs on the Google TV platform, giving users access to over 400,000 movies and TV episodes from various streaming services. The user interface has been refined by Sony to be more intuitive and customizable, with streamlined menus that enhance usability.
Voice control is available through built-in Google Assistant support, allowing users to manage the TV and search for content hands-free. Additionally, the TV supports both Google Cast and Apple AirPlay 2, making it easy to stream content from smartphones, tablets, or computers directly to the screen.
A Flagship Choice for 2025
The BRAVIA 8 II clearly represents Sony’s ambition to set a new standard in the OLED market. By combining top-tier hardware, intelligent image processing, and an elegant design, the BRAVIA 8 II is not just another TV—it’s an invitation to experience home entertainment on a cinematic level.
With its release in 2025, Sony aims to offer one of the most immersive and visually stunning TV options available, appealing to tech enthusiasts and everyday viewers who want premium quality in both design and performance.
