Sony Bravia 50W950C Android TV review

Sony's new Bravia Smart TVs are the first ones to come preloaded with Android TV software offering a rich app experience and enhancing the smart TV experience. While some local players offer Android-powered TVs, what you actually get is a customised version of the mobile/tablet Android interface and apps that are scaled to fit the big screen. We've used the 50-inch Android smart TV for more than a month to help you make a buying decision.

How does it look like?

The Sony Bravia 50W950C is a sleek looking television with thickness ranging from 12.6mm to 70mm (it varies due to the presence of the ports at the back towards the base) if you don't include the stand. It has super-narrow bezels at the side and a chrome finish at the top. The overall look is minimalist employing the use of black colour with a matte finish.



There's a metal strip that enhances the look right at the bottom just below the Sony logo that glows when turned on. The TV should blend in easily with most rooms. You can choose to mount the TV on the wall with the dual acoustic duct subwoofer also hanging below it or place it on a stand that takes support of the subwoofer. The duct has two 10W speakers and dual subwoofers.




At the back, you'll find ports including 4 HDMI ports, 2 USB ports, an ethernet port, digital and analog audio output ports, RF, Composite and component out ports.

What about the picture quality?

The Sony Bravia 50W950C is a full-HD (1080x1920p) TV which should satisfy the needs of most people. This one's not a 4K panel and although there's a paucity of 4K content at the moment, some people want a more future-proof TV. In case you're among them, you should also be ready to pay more especially if you care about the brand name. The Bravia 50W950C has an Edge-lit display that reduces the thickness and cost of the device as it uses fewer LEDs.



However, Sony has deployed X-Reality Pro picture engine and TRILUMINOS display technology (for wider colour space) to offer enhanced picture quality and more vibrant colours. The TV uses Sony's Motionflow XR algorithm to reduce motion blur with a rating of 800Hz and offer natural looking moving images. We have to say that the picture quality offered by this TV was top notch with good level of detail, vivid colours, balanced contrast levels, deep blacks and wide viewing angles. We tested the TV by connecting it to a Tata Sky+ HD box for HD broadcast content and by playing some HD video clips and movies.

The Bravia TV also offers support for 3D content though it doesn't ship with 3D glasses.

The Android TV experience
Sony offers a customised Android TV experience complete with an app called Serial AbTak that offers TV shows, music and videos aired on Indian TV channels. There's also an app that brings notifications form your Android smartphone to your TV in addition to an app for sharing photos and videos form your smartphone to the TV. You also get access to Google's Play Store that offers app downloads for your TV, Google Play Music and Movies and YouTube. The best way to navigate the smart features of the TV however, is to use voice function.



From searching for the weather, launching an app or finding your favourite video on YouTube, the voice function works really well and recognizes Indian English accent without any hiccups. We did not face any difficulty in searching for hindi songs and movie names.We also used the optional Touchpad remote control which sports a microphone for voice control and a touchpad for smooth navigation and found the experience to be very intuitive.

The TV supports a number of connectivity options and has built-in Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA, MHL and Bluetooth support. It also has Google Cast support that works similar to how Google's Chromecast media streaming stick works; you can cast online content from a smartphone to a tv screen or just mirror it. This feature works seamlessly and is a great addition.



You can also play some games like Asphalt 8 with the help of the touch remote.

While a number of third party apps are available, the catalogue is not that large in India as major video streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu are unavailable in the region. You can still use Plex to stream your content to the TV. Also, you only get 8GB to install apps and games though multimedia can be accessed via USB devices. You can also buy the camera accessory to click pictures and videos or use video chat apps like Skype.

Overall, we like the Android-powered smart experience and feel it's got an edge over Tizen and webOS UIs.

Rich sound
The Sony Bravia 50W950C is also one of the few LED TVs to offer good audio quality thanks to the dual speakers and sub woofers on the separate soundbar. The speakers offer clear sound output and good volume levels coupled with decent bass. This makes watching movies even more enjoyable.



Should you buy one?
At Rs 1,32,900, the Sony Bravia 50W950C is expensive compared to other smart TVs with similar specifications. However, you get a sleek looking television that offers great picture quality, a rich feature set and good audio performance. You also get a large number of connectivity options including Google Cast and Android TV is one of the better smart TV interfaces out there. We'd recommend that you spend a little extra and get the touchpad remote as it also houses the microphone for voice commands. Voice is an integral part of Android TV interface and thankfully, the software's voice recognition capabilities are optimized for Indian accent.



If you're looking for the Android TV experience and don't want to spend a large amount on buying a TV, you can get an Android TV set top box such as the Nexus Player (you can find some others on ebay and Amazon) though keep in mind these are not available officially in India with a cheaper LED TV. You can also look at the much cheaper Chromecast dongle if you only want to stream online content or mirror some of your own content to your TV.

Victim of online trolling? Fight back with offline laws

India may soon see the first high profile arrest of an internet troll. On the complaint of a woman television journalist, Delhi Police registered an FIR in June this year against a conspicuous though anonymous Twitter handle. Swati Chaturvedi alleged the handle belonged to a senior journalist who heaped sexual abuse on her and harassed her online, goading his 40,000 odd followers also to troll her.

Unlike other victims who either wind up their account or block abusers, the journalist lodged a case under the IPC for stalking, defamation, and outraging the modesty of a woman. Its effect was instant -- the handle disappeared and the offensive tweets were deleted.

Though the abuser remains free, police sources indicate they have zeroed in on his identity. The delay in arrest and prosecution of such cases remains the central challenge for the Indian legal framework when it deals with online abuse through laws that are basically aimed at offline crimes.

Social media has given people a platform to air their views but it has also left them vulnerable to slander, character assassination, intimidation and defamation. Supreme Court lawyer Virag Gupta blames the brazenness of trolls on the high threshold of tolerance among web users. "A troll is a person who sows discord on the internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous or off-topic content on a newsgroup, forum, chat room or blog with the deliberate intent of online harassment. The ways in which people are harassed include cyber bullying, revenge porn, trolling, virtual mobbing and so on," Gupta explains, adding that these offenders are punishable under the IPC.

Along with former BJP leader K Govindacharya, Gupta has been pushing to make social media sites such as Google and Facebook more accountable to Indian users. In a PIL in Delhi High Court, he has accused them of evading taxes, leaving children exposed to cybercriminals and storing information on servers based abroad.

"There are two ways to counter harmful acts committed on social media: New laws or using existing provisions under criminal law. It is not the medium but the behaviour that constitutes an offence. So provisions of the IPC would be attracted even for actions on the internet against the sender of the message and even the platform," Gupta says.

Till March this year, the government used Section 66A of the Information Technology Act as the remedy for all online abuse, but the Supreme Court struck it off from the law books. The apex court found the section to be not just "vaguely worded" but also in violation of the Constitution since it criminalized speech on the subjective annoyance of a user. SC further faulted the provision for creating a new offence only on the basis of the medium used for communication.

Does this then mean that an important weapon against online abuse has been taken away by the SC? Not really , says Anja Kovaks, director of Delhi-based Internet Democracy Project. Kovaks and her team of researchers studied sexist comments, some of them downright abusive, faced by women vocal on social media and how the victims dealt with these. Their report, 'An Exploratory Study of Women and Verbal Online Abuse in India', pitched for greater use of "alternative legal provisions" by victims of online harassment and the "development of a broader women's law that accounts for systemic discrimination."

Kovak says victims, mostly women, "develop a variety of strategies to deal with the verbal threats they face online but these strategies very rarely include the law."

The Top 9 Worst Apps Of All Time

You may have heard in recent days of the newest app controversy surrounding Peeple, an app which lets you rate human beings like restaurants or hotels.

It's caused us a chuckle or two for the last days, so we thought we'd cast a glance at some of the other worst apps to ever grace your devices.

1. Peeple

October 11, 2015

I mean, rating people? The TV show Community has already been there and done that.

2. I Am Important

October 11, 2015

The iOS app, which was released in 2011, sought to make users feel important by creating fake contacts and diary events. The app also asked you about your day, presumably because no one else would, because you were the type of person who would sincerely download this app.
No words

3. Will You Marry Me?

October 11, 2015

We loath to tell anyone how to propose as it's entirely up to individuals how and if they ever want to do it.

Except for this; do not use this app to propose. This is a line in the sands of society no-one should willingly cross.

4. Send Me To Heaven

October 11, 2015

This app records how high you throw your phone and places you on a global leaderboard for the highest throws.

Presumably there are hundreds of scores which could not be logged because of the sheer distance the phones were launched, before landing on an unforgiving surface.

It was removed by the Apple App Store, but remains, unfathomably, available on Android devices.

5. Tweetpee

October 11, 2015

Tweetpee consists of a sensor which you attach to a child's nappie, which will send a tweet to the parent when the child has urinated and the parent has the option to immediately retweet.

While the sensor idea is possibly quite useful to new parents, the tweeting part of the whole procedure is an unmitigated disaster.

No-one wants to know when your child has peed. Also, your child doesn't want to read those tweets later in life and be confronted with the unconquerable banality of their parents.

6. Electric Razor Simulator

October 11, 2015

There's been a number of apps along this line of innovation to befoul both iOS and Android.

If you purchase, with actual money, an app which displays the picture of a razor and buzzes then you need to rethink so so many things.

You won't 'prank friends' with this app, you'll lose them.

7. IAmAMan

October 11, 2015

The idea of a man checking a woman's menstrual cycle is a little creepy, as there are very few reasons this wouldn't be used as an invasive monitoring tool.

But let's give the app the benefit of the doubt, maybe it's for family planning for hopeful fathers? Somehow?

Here's the app's description of its features:

Trace your girlfriend’s periods
Set a master password for the whole program
Set personal passwords for every girl
Make calls by simply tapping on her name

Oh, ok then, never mind.

8. Ghost Radar

October 11, 2015

Note: Users to date have not discovered any ghosts.

9. I Am Rich

October 11, 2015

The sole purpose of the app, which cost £599.99, was to show people that you could afford it.

The application was removed from the App Store the day following its release.

"You there! Look at this app I've just purchased!"
