Not only is the new UX better, the TV feels much less laggy than it was. Way to finally come through Sony!

EDIT: Model XBR-65X850C (USA)

My KDL-55W800C from 2015 doesn't have anything posted on its page. I don't think it will get an update. I miss the days of having a dumb TV.

Wow did not expect that, what country are you in?

Manoli20

Gives me hope that maybe my X900F will get Pie some day!

Not on mine ☹️

mafreidyne

The source input shortcuts are gone. Can they still be enabled?

Beefsteak_Tomato

Do Sony TVs still have ads on the homescreen?

lagmanmx

What was in the changelog, OP?

eats7

Model number?

RubenFK

Does anybody has any idea about European release? And any review from the current users?

43W800C Owner here, pleasantly surprised when this update popped up this morning. Singapore.

XBR49X830C in the USA here... nothing.

It boggles my mind that it's still running on an over seven (!) year old kernel that is long, loooong EOL.

Why on earth is nobody pushing Mediatek to update the thing, there should be a joint interest by just about anyone who sold Android TVs.

StrickF1

Yeah it depends on the year and model the newer models have faster processors so that helps as well.

I have already given up on my Philips. Nice to see old TVs being supported.

It's always better late than never 👏

Will my Sony tv auto update? Or is this a manual update I need to find myself I think I’m using xf900

LegionOfBrad

Nothing for the UK models as of yet. :(

dethnight

Nice! If the update can also fix my IR sensor on my 850C that would be great.

jlo8720

Thanks OP.

My X830C (USA) is so slow navigating I was thinking of selling. Hopefully this cannot make it any worse.

Nothing via OTA yet.

ycodryn

Are you kidding me ? KDL-75W850C is on update list but my KDL-75W855C NOT ? WTF SONY ? Seems that #sony sells garbage in east europe.

ttran857

Why does my bravia with android 9.0 look exactly the same? So they didn’t change anything from android 8.0 to android 9.0

Brownie73AU

Don’t really like the update. Previous version was laid out better. It was possible to change inputs using the input row as a graphical option. Boring background. icons are smaller. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Bummed about:

“The following features will be removed after updating to this software:

PlayMemories Online One-touch mirroring function Pre-installed Playstation Video”

harvs_97

I recently updated and it is so god damn laggy

Deeco7

I'm guessing this is only I for XBR models? Sadly I'm stuck with my KD-55X8507C.

fernandocole

Any way to install the asia version on usa?

mandar1ne

Any way to install ANY version on the EU models?

Or … is the general advice … just waiting?

lartomar2002

My 2016 XBR55X850D still has not been updated to 8.0. I live in the USA.

Reddiguids

Still not in Europe

csgraber

Yeah, i said screw it and got a shield. Not for this

I just can’t stand slow smart TV crap

johntrou7

Any news about the euro version?I have the kd 55x8005c

kipster204

Finally got the update today on my W800C!

ich5003

Any new on this for the European KD43X8305C model

spurdosparade

8? Christ, that's why don't buy TV because of Software, that's ancient. Better rely into a good supported box like the Shield and get a cheaper and dumber TV.
