Following our news about Sony's True RGB trademark filing (see our CES 26 news > Sony True RGB 2026: the Japanese manufacturer's response is being prepared…), the first rumors about the various Sony TV series for 2026 have surfaced in China. This is particularly the case for the Sony Bravia 9 II and Sony Bravia 7 II.
These rumors originate from a Chinese streamer on the video content sharing platform bilibili.com. As usual, they should be taken with a grain of salt; however, they align with various leaks that have surfaced in recent months, or even years. Sony Bravia 9 II Mini LED RGB TV, suspected specifications: If we are to believe the announcements from the Chinese leaker Salivaxiu_Zhang Qiqi-Miaou, the Sony Bravia 9 II series would include three models corresponding to the three screen sizes: 75", 85", and 98". The 115" model mentioned by Omdia (see our news article "Sony TV 2026 Bravia 9 II/Bravia 7 II, focusing on Mini LED RGB technology?") now appears unlikely. The backlighting system would feature up to 15,000 Mini LED RGB zones (Editor's note: this figure would correspond more closely to the 115" model, which, therefore, would not be released in 2026) for a peak brightness of 4,000 nits, similar to the Sony HX110 professional monitor (talk about convergence… see our news article "Sony Premium TVs 2024: Focusing on Mini LED at the expense of OLED?"). The ProVA LCD panel from CSOT would benefit from an anti-reflective coating (AG47LR) called Deep Black and would offer a very wide viewing angle (XWA for Extended Wide Angle).

The Sony Bravia 7 II series would include three models also associated with 65" screen sizes. 75" and 85" models. The number of Mini RGB LED zones would reach 5,100, with a peak brightness of 2,000 nits on the 65" model and 2,500 nits on the other two. The LCD panel would again be of the ProVA type (from CSOT) with an anti-reflective coating (AG47LR) called Deep Black. However, the very wide viewing angle (XWA for Extended Wide Angle) would no longer be included, replaced by a wide-view filter (a subtle difference...).
