Sony BRAVIA 8 II OLED TV series, starting at ₹2.46 lakhs, launched in India
The 55-inch model is priced at ₹ 2,46,990 and the 65-inch model costs ₹ 3,41,990. You can buy them from Sony Centres, the ShopatSC website, large electronics stores, and online platforms.
Both TVs have a sleek design and a flat back that is easy to set up in any room. Their surface is resistant to fingerprints and smudges for a cleaner look. They offer a 4K Ultra HD OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for fast scenes in sports, movies and games.
The TVs are powered by Sony's XR Cognitive Processor. This feature detects the focus scenes on the screen to adjust the colour, brightness and contrast for a more realistic picture. Besides, the TVs also use technologies like XR Triluminos Max and XR Contrast Booster 25 to further improve brightness and colour depth.
Immersive audio experience
The BRAVIA 8 II TVs use a feature called Acoustic Surface Audio+. This means the sound comes directly from the screen itself. There are two hidden actuators and two subwoofers behind the screen for this. It gives a 50W audio output and supports Dolby Atmos, which makes the sound feel more real.
If you're into gaming, especially with the PlayStation 5, these TVs come with features that improve the experience. They support 4K at 120 frames per second, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and Auto HDR Tone Mapping. There's also a Game Menu where you can easily change gaming settings while you play.
Smart features and connectivity
Both the Sony Bravia 8 II OLED TVs run on Android TV and come with the Google TV interface. They also support voice control through Google Assistant. It allows you to connect them using Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, HDMI, USB, LAN, and more. Moreover, for people who need accessibility features, options like screen readers, text magnification and colour inversion are also included.
Sony has used recycled plastic (SORPLAS) to build these TVs and included an Eco Dashboard that helps you track power usage.

Sony, JBL, Bose BT headphones hit by major security flaw: 100+ models affected
A serious security flaw has been found in Bluetooth headphones and earbuds using chips from Taiwanese manufacturer Airoha, exposing millions of users to potential privacy threats. The vulnerability affects popular models from Sony, JBL, Bose, Jabra, Marshall, and others, allowing hackers to hijack audio devices without the need for pairing or authentication. No pairing required for attack Discovered by German cybersecurity firm Enno Rey Netzwerke GmbH (ERNW), the flaw lies in Airoha's Bluetooth System-on-a-Chip (SoC), widely used in wireless audio products. According to ERNW, 'The vulnerabilities can be triggered via Bluetooth BR/EDR or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Being in Bluetooth range is the only precondition.' Attackers just need to be within 10 meters of the device to hack it. Once in range, they can access RAM and flash memory, view currently playing media, extract contact details and even initiate phone calls using the hijacked headphones as a bridge. In some cases, the vulnerability could be used to convert earphones into makeshift microphones, raising concerns over potential surveillance. Over 100 models are likely affected Confirmed affected devices include premium models such as the Sony WH-1000XM6, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, JBL Live Buds 3, Jabra Elite 8 Active, and several products from Marshall. ERNW estimates that over 100 models may be vulnerable, as many brands unknowingly use Airoha chips through third-party sourcing. At the Troopers conference in Heidelberg, researchers revealed three vulnerabilities, one critical and two high-risk. The flaws could expose phone numbers, reveal call data or allow attackers to manipulate trust relationships between headphones and connected smartphones. ERNW released a list of devices that are confirmed to be vulnerable: Beyerdynamic Amiron 300 Bose QuietComfort Earbuds EarisMax Bluetooth Auracast Sender Jabra Elite 8 Active JBL Endurance Race 2 JBL Live Buds 3 Jlab Epic Air Sport ANC Marshall ACTON III Marshall MAJOR V Marshall MINOR IV Marshall MOTIF II Marshall STANMORE III Marshall WOBURN III MoerLabs EchoBeatz Sony CH-720N Sony Link Buds S Sony ULT Wear Sony WF-1000XM3 Sony WF-1000XM4 Sony WF-1000XM5 Sony WF-C500 Sony WF-C510-GFP Sony WH-1000XM4 Sony WH-1000XM5 Sony WH-1000XM6 Sony WH-CH520 Sony WH-XB910N Sony WI-C100 Teufel Tatws2 Please note that these are the confirmed devices that have been exposed to a hijacking threat. Researchers say there could be more. Fix released, but no firmware updates yet Airoha released a patched Software Development Kit (SDK) to manufacturers on June 4. However, as of now, no firmware updates have reached consumers. ERNW urges users to regularly check brand apps for updates or contact support directly. Although the flaws are technically complex and require close physical proximity, ERNW advises heightened caution for high-risk users such as journalists, diplomats and government personnel. For everyday users, the immediate threat remains comparatively lower. In the meantime, experts recommend turning off Bluetooth in public spaces or switching to wired alternatives for added security.

Sony India targets ₹10,000 crore revenue in 3 years, led by audio
Consumer electronics maker Sony India is eyeing a topline of ₹10,000 crore in the coming two to three years, as the share from audio categories continues to rise, a top company executive said on Monday. India remains the fourth-largest market by revenue for Sony Corporation globally. 'The contribution of the audio segment is growing by a couple of percentage points each year. In the coming year, we expect to clock double-digit growth and reach overall revenues of ₹10,000 crore in the midterm,' said Sunil Nayyar, Managing Director, Sony India, at a media roundtable during the launch of two new soundbar models as part of its BRAVIA Theatre home entertainment line. Audio and imaging will be the two big drivers of growth toward the company's revenue goals, Nayyar said, adding that Sony is also working to create fresh demand in the imaging segment. 'We want to change the culture of clicking photos on the phone, which is how it used to be earlier,' he said. Audio currently contributes 13–15 per cent to the company's overall revenue, while televisions remain its largest business, accounting for 55–60 per cent. Digital imaging makes up 20–22 per cent, with the remaining revenue coming from products such as the PlayStation. On the issue of rare earth magnet availability, amid China's trade restrictions, company officials said they are not facing any supply challenges. Sony India witnessed double-digit growth in the last financial year. In FY23–24, the company recorded revenue of ₹7,664 crore. Regarding product performance, Nayyar said the TV segment saw growth in the over-55-inch category, while other segments within the category remained stagnant. 'The over-55-inch segment is a big segment and is growing at a high rate,' he noted. Meanwhile, PlayStation sales have quadrupled in the last three years, signalling a rising gaming culture in India. Speaking on quick commerce, where Sony made headlines by selling the PS5, Nayyar said the emerging channel is promising. 'The channel, although very new, has shown promise. We saw traction for the PlayStation and are seeing promise in headphones and speakers too. It is a small business currently but can become bigger as we move forward,' he said. Despite the entry of new players into the Indian market, the company remains focused on maintaining its premium positioning. 'We continue to be a premium brand and are not competing with mass-market price points. We make sure we are reasonably premium, can justify the value proposition to customers, and remain their go-to premium brand,' Nayyar added.
