The A8F was the next OLED TV introduced by Sony at CES 2018. Sony introduced their first 4K Ultra HD OLED Android TV under the BRAVIA brand, named as the A1E in January 2017 with an X1 Extreme processor. In September 2016, Sony announced that TVs older than 2012 will lose access to YouTube. Noteworthy for being the first Android TV available, Sony's Android TVs are now integrated with the Google Assistant for controlling home automation and voice commands. In May 2015, Sony launched their first lineup of Android television Bravia models, which allows users to easily access content from services like YouTube, Netflix and Hulu as well as install apps and games from the Google Play Store. In May 2013 Sony introduced their first 4K BRAVIA TV models smaller then X900 from late 2012. The brand was also used on mobile phones in North American, Japanese and European markets as of 2007.

Principal design work for BRAVIA products is performed at Sony's research facilities in Japan, at the research and development department at the Sony de Mexico facility in Baja California, Mexico and at the Sony Europe facility in Nitra, Slovakia. In 2014, in part of Sony President & CEO Kasuo Hirai's plans to turn Sony around, BRAVIA was made into an subsidiary rather than just a brand of products.īRAVIA televisions and their components are manufactured in Sony's plants in Mexico, Japan, and Slovakia for their respective regions and are also assembled from imported parts in Brazil, Spain, China, Malaysia and Ecuador. BRAVIA replaces the "LCD WEGA" which Sony used for their LCD TVs until Summer 2005 (early promotional photos exist of the first BRAVIA TVs still bearing the WEGA moniker). All Sony high-definition flat-panel LCD televisions in North America have carried the logo for BRAVIA since 2005. Its backronym is " Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture".
