Sony continues to expand its product range in India. This Asian country, being one of the world’s largest markets, is especially important for technology companies. Aware of this situation, Sony, which sells nearly 30 million TVs annually and has a 5% market share in the country, introduced its new Bravia TV models. The company is launching 13 new Bravia 4K HDR TVs, known as the BZ40L, BZ35L, and BZ30L series. Here are the details…

Sony Expands its Product Range in India with New BRAVIA TVs

The new Sony Bravia BZ40L, BZ35L, and BZ30L series are made for businesses and places where good picture quality, reliable performance, and wide compatibility are important. They come in different versions to match different needs, from high-end to basic, and in sizes from 43 inches to 85 inches.

The new product range stands out because it includes the BZ40L series. These are special because they have a unique screen design that isn’t found in other products. The BZ40L screens have a special Deep Black Non-Glare Coating. This coating makes the screen less shiny, and it still shows deep black colors and high contrasts really well.

Price and Availability:

Every one of the 13 models has features that promote sustainability. These include using recycled plastic, creating less waste with reduced ink on the packaging, and an ECO Dashboard to help monitor power use. They also have several user-friendly features like 24/7 operation, easy setup, screen mirroring, and a consistent design across all models.

Installation is flexible and you can also use multiple screens together. The BZ40L and BZ35L models have more storage space, and all models have a new kit for easier mounting. They all share a similar structure, which makes choosing between different brightness levels easier without changing your installation plans.

The new professional displays will work with Sony’s Partner Network for more integration options across several sectors like corporate, education, transportation, and retail.

With the increasing usage of smartphones, people are relying on them for communication, social media, gaming, and other activities, which has made alternative devices like laptops and TVs less necessary. As a result, the laptop and TV market has been on the decline (except during the pandemic) in many parts of the world. However, China appears to be an exception to this trend. In February, China’s TV market shipments reached a whopping 2.41 million units, with Xiaomi securing the second spot ahead of well-known brands like Sony and Samsung. Here are the details…

China’s TV Market Sees 26.8% YoY Increase in February, Xiaomi Climbs to Second Place

The Chinese TV market saw a surge in shipments in February 2023, with a total of 2.41 million units shipped, marking a 26.8% year-on-year increase. However, there was a 28.5% month-on-month decrease, which could be attributed to the Spring Festival holiday. In January and February, the total shipments amounted to 5.78 million units, representing a slight decline of 2.9% year-on-year.

The top seven traditional main brands in the Chinese TV market, including Xiaomi, Hisense, TCL, Skyworth, Changhong, Haier, and Konka, and their sub-brands, accounted for over 90% of the overall market in February. These brands saw a total of 2.22 million units shipped, a 30.7% year-on-year increase, but a 28.7% month-on-month decrease.

The first camp, which comprises brands with annual shipments of over 5 million units, saw total shipments of 1.87 million units, marking a 46% year-on-year increase but a 28% month-on-month decrease. Xiaomi, including its sub-brand Redmi, shipped 550,000 units in February, representing a 10% year-on-year increase.

Hisense, TCL, and Skyworth saw a significant increase in shipments in February, with a total of 1.32 million units shipped. Hisense’s sub-brand Vidda was the top-performing brand, shipping nearly 600,000 units, a 55% year-on-year increase.

The second camp, which includes brands with annual shipments of about 3 million units, saw a decline in shipments in February. The total shipments for Changhong, Konka, and Haier were about 350,000 units, marking a 15% year-on-year decline and a 30% month-on-month decrease.

Huawei’s shipments have been declining year-on-year since the fourth quarter of 2022, and there was no improvement in February 2023. The four major foreign brands, Sony, Samsung, Sharp, and Philips, shipped a total of about 100,000 units in February, marking a 15% year-on-year decrease.

Despite being a relatively new player in the market, Xiaomi ranked second in the overall market, beating out brands like Sony and Samsung. This could be attributed to Xiaomi’s focus on profitability and overseas expansion. The Chinese TV market continues to experience fluctuations, with some brands seeing growth while others struggle to maintain their market share.

The post Black Friday Deals: Best smart TVs on sale (50, 55, 65, 75, 85-inch) appeared first on Gizmochina.

Sony has announced a new lineup of premium smart TVs in China as part of its Spring 2020 refresh. The company unveiled a total of 5 models namely Z8H, A8H, X9000H, X9500H, and X8000H respectively. All these models come in varying sizes and are targeted at a different set of customers. Also, these Sony TVs are debuting first in China and were made official via the company’s first online-only launch event in the country.

1 of 5

Out of all the models announced today, the Z8H is the only one with 8K LED panel and comes in two sizes. It is priced at 49999 Yuan ($7060) and 79999 Yuan ($11295) for the 75 and 85-inches versions respectively. This model is already up for pre-order until April 26 and the customers opting for it will get a Sony WH-1000XM3 noise-cancelling headphone as a freebie.

Further, the second model, which happens to be A8H, is the only 4K TV announced today with an OLED panel. Whereas, the  X9000H, X9500H, and X8000H series of 4K TVs sport LED panels with full-array backlighting. However, all the models announced today come with the company’s TRILUMIOS, X-Reality Pro, and X-Motion Clarity display technologies. And they also have support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Digital Panorama Sound. 

Editor’s Pick: Sony consolidates three major businesses into ‘Sony Electronics Corporation’, Gaming Division stays separate

As for image processing, the Z8H, A8H, and X9500H feature Sony X1 Ultimate chip, however, the other two models have an inferior Sony X1 chip. But all of them run the company’s custom software skin based on Android 9.0 Pie.

Talking about targeted customers, Z8H is for those who want immersive movie theatre experience at home, A8H is for those who look for better eye protection, X8000H with up to 120Hz high refresh rate is for gamers, and X9500H is for sports lovers.

As far as pricing of the new 4K models is concerned, the 55, 65, and 75-inches variants of X9500H series will retail for 7999 Yuan ($1129), 12999 Yuan ($1835), and 20999 Yuan ($2965) respectively. Then, the 75 and 85-inches version of X8000H will cost 9999 Yuan ($1412) and 17999 Yuan ($2541) respectively. The company is yet to reveal the prices of A8H OLED and X9000H series of smart TVs.

The post Sony announces Z8H, A8H, X9000H, X9500H, and X8000H Smart TVs in China, Includes an 8K and OLED model too appeared first on Gizmochina.

Sony Mobile has been posting losses for several quarters now while other divisions such as camera, TV and audio divisions keep recording millions in profits. However, that might end soon as Sony has announced it is merging the mobile division with the camera, TV and audio divisions.

The new division will be called Electronics Products and Solutions and should result in technologies being exchanged between future products. Some folks have expressed surprise at the merger as they expected Sony to sell off or shut down its mobile phone division. As we can see, Sony has other plans. Now that the camera and mobile divisions are now one, the reported “rivalry” between them should no longer exist.

The Japanese company says it will continue to announce the performance results for its phones even with the new decision. The mobile division is doing pretty badly. Reports say it lost more money ($480 million) than the gaming division made in profits ($317 million) in Q2 2018!

Sony still has high hopes for its mobile division, if we can still call it that. It foresees the Xperia line might begin to make profits by 2021 at the earliest. However, the company also plans to cut its spending by half.
