Sony KD-49X8309C review
Review: September 2015 | ||
![]() Rating: In a nutshell: Sony's X83C series provides an affordable entry point into the company's UHD (4K) TV range, and the KD-49X8309C is an attractive and nicely-sized option for family viewing. It comes with the benefit of Android TV, and offers excellent connectivity options. Upscaling from HD content to UHD is excellent, and viewing angles are nice and wide, making this a good choice for family viewing. However, picture quality isn't the best we've seen in 2015, and this model is quite pricey for an entry-level UHD TV. |
Summary
The Sony KD-49X8309C is almost identical to the KD-49X8305C, except that it has a lighter chrome stand and a better Motionflow rating of 1000Hz, compared with 800Hz for the X8305C. The X8309C is exclusive to Currys / PC World.

I know the 8305 now has the alexa app for voice control, youd think
that the higher the model number is the newer the TV is however it
would appear that the 8305 is a newer model than the 8309C.
Is the 8309 Sony ultra hd better then the 8305?

From what I can gather the 8305 is a newer model than the 8309,
strange I know but the 8305 supports Alexa whereas the 8309 as yet
does not, hope this helps.
