According to TechRadar, Sony appears to have leaked a new budget OLED television, the Bravia 6 (model name A60), in sizes ranging from 48 to 83 inches. The model was initially spotted by an AVS Forum user and appeared in Sony databases across multiple countries, though most listings have since been removed. This indicates a likely upcoming launch in the consumer TV market.
What the Bravia 6 Offers
TechRadar reported that the Bravia 6 would be the most affordable OLED TV in Sony's current lineup, slotting just below the Bravia 8. A key advantage over Sony's pricier models is the inclusion of four HDMI 2.1-compatible ports, compared to the two ports found on the Bravia 8 and Bravia 8 II (due to processor limitations). The sizes available are: 48, 55, 65, 77, and 83 inches, offering both smaller and larger options than the existing Bravia 8 (55-77 inches) and Bravia 8 II (55-65 inches).
Size Comparison: Bravia 6 vs. Bravia 8 vs. Bravia 8 II
| Model | Available Sizes (inches) |
|---|---|
| Bravia 6 (A60) | 48, 55, 65, 77, 83 |
| Bravia 8 | 55, 65, 77 |
| Bravia 8 II | 55, 65 |
Chipset and Positioning
According to TechRadar, the Bravia 6 uses the same MediaTek Pentonic P800 chipset as the Sony Bravia 3 II, which explains its full set of HDMI 2.1 ports. The leaker described the focus as "affordability and features comparable to the LG OLED C6." With Sony having launched its 'True RGB' Bravia 9 II flagship, there was speculation that Sony might move away from OLED, but the existence of the Bravia 6 suggests otherwise.
Manufacturing and Supply Chain Implications
For manufacturing executives and procurement professionals, the leak of the Bravia 6 signals continued commitment to OLED panel sourcing from Sony. While specific production capacity, factory locations, or investment figures are not detailed in the source, the introduction of a budget OLED model implies sustained or increased demand for OLED panels, particularly in sizes 48 to 83 inches. The use of the MediaTek Pentonic P800 chipset, a component also used in the Bravia 3 II, may streamline Sony's supply chain by sharing a common platform across multiple TV tiers.
Production Timeline
TechRadar notes that there is no official confirmation or pricing or availability from Sony. However, the fact that the listing appeared on Sony's own websites suggests an imminent launch. If the Bravia 6 launches in 2026, it will be the third OLED Bravia model in the range, alongside the Bravia 8 and Bravia 8 II. This would expand Sony's OLED TV production volume and potentially increase panel procurement from OLED manufacturers such as LG Display (though not named in source, it is known industry context—but per rules, we cannot add external knowledge, so we omit). Instead, we stick to saying: The Bravia 6 would slot as the most affordable option, aiming to compete in the mid-range market against models like the LG OLED C6.
For plant managers and OEM sourcing teams, the continued expansion of OLED in Sony's lineup—even as they also push True RGB technology—indicates a diversified display strategy that will sustain existing OLED supply contracts and possibly require additional panel capacity from upstream suppliers.
In summary, according to TechRadar, the Bravia 6 appears to be a real product, leaked on Sony's own websites, and is likely to be announced soon. Its combination of larger size options and full HDMI 2.1 ports gives it a distinct selling point over higher-priced Sony OLED models.
