It is an object lesson in how not to make content easy to find, completely contrary to the idea behind it, so you might as well stick to the homescreen which is far better designed. Probably our main gripe with the entire implementation from Sony would be user interface related, with the Discover menu being the worst culprit. ‘there’s an app for that,’ but if you’re not an experienced Android user you may not find it. The capabilities of the native media players isn’t that great, in terms of codec and container support, but there will be a means by which you can play your files, somewhere, i.e. The main processing chips inside these Android TVs aren’t really up to the rigours of complex video games, which makes the fact that gaming is very well integrated that bit less worthy, but the running of other apps was generally very fluent. Fortunately, you can take control of Android through any number of alternative controllers and we found the experience that much better once we had done just that. The Android OS has always been built to cater to phones and tablets and it’s only gradually evolving in to one where you can wholly operate it with a conventional TV remote control. We’re also not great fans of the One Flick Remote, either, which fails to live up to its moniker – at least for us – with a touchpad interface which singularly fails to replicate the accuracy of a touchscreen. It’s not all good, however, and an apparent lack of RAM can mean things run sluggishly from time to time, a matter confounded by the fact the software allows so many non-system apps to run in the background. The recommended set of apps readily available should be sufficient for most, however, and include 4K Ultra HD services from Netflix and Amazon with the latter very soon to be offering HDR content via the Sony’s. You do have alternatives for getting virtually any Android app on to them but many end users are never going to find that out. The decision to go with Google pays dividends in providing a wide range of apps, albeit that the customised Play store contains nowhere near the amount the regular one does. Sony’s 2015 range of Bravia Android TVs are bristling with potential and are, already, brimming with features. A total rethink is needed here, we’re afraid. Yes, you can edit layers out but by the time most people will have found that out – the option is right at the bottom of your deep sea voyage of discovery – they will have given up on it. By default, it’s fully ten layers deep with areas such as Digital TV, Radio, YouTube, Video apps, Picture albums and Android apps covered this is madness as a) it’s not transparently a scroll up/down menu so a lot will miss it and b) there are just far too many layers to make them either time-saving or easy to access. There upon you will be presented with a bar which has various content layers. You summon the bar by either hitting the relevant button on a standard TV remote or by swiping up on the touchpad of the ‘One Flick,’ except, as alluded to above, it can take several flicks. Uggh, Sony, what were you thinking with this? The Discover Bar ‘shortcut’ is a lesson in accessibility and how not to do it the idea is decent enough but the execution is lacking. ![]()
