Environment and Accessibility

Love the planet, smart for all

BRAVIA is designed to harmonise with people's needs while respecting natural resources. We're accelerating our accessibility initiatives, enabling people who are blind or deaf to use Sony's devices, and expanding our environmental initiatives by incorporating recycled plastic into our products. Entertainment becomes more inclusive and enjoyable for all.

Hands-free operation, including video searches

Users of BRAVIA with Google Assistant built-in can simply say "OK Google" and say a task, searching for a YouTube video for example, and it will be done. Voice commands can also be used to operate the BRAVIA itself, such as turning it on or off or changing the volume.⁰¹²³⁴
