Sony on HDR
Like most others Sony will offer HDR in a high-end TVs. Sony has been showcasing it on the two TVs called X94C and X93C and it calling it X-tended Dynamic Range. Only the X94C has X-tended Dynamic Range "Pro" which is necessary for full HDR support.

The chip for all 4k models from Sony is Meditek MT5595 2x ARM17 + 2x ARM7 = not very strong chip.

No idea what 1080p models in 2015 use as a chip. Hope their up-scaling is like Samsung H7000/7150 of last year which was best ever. The Sony last year only barely matched the MediaTek chip on H6400 for example. (while the 7 series had Samsung chip and Samsung scaling algorithm)

The W805C/W80C & W755C/W75C use same panels in 55", 50", 43" from AOU (99% sure)

W855C/W85C are bigger versions of W805C/W80C (65" & 75") and the only differences are that these two 65" & 75" have direct led while all other models are edge led. (hope Sony has perfect implementation for edge otherwise expect uniformity issues)

Another one is that the 65" & 75" have long duct speakers.
Rich, satisfying sound is a vital part of your BRAVIA entertainment experience. This newly-designed speaker reproduces rich, powerful bass and lower mid-range sounds, adding extra punch and depth to action movies, music and dialogue. The long 1.2m speaker duct is cleverly folded into a compact unit that’s hidden neatly behind the TV screen’s bezel

R550C / R55C / R440C / R44C use same panels as W705C/W70C in 48", 40", 32" from Chinese supplier (50% sure) but W705C/W70C has X reality pro chip or software suite.

W805C/W80C = Android. X reality pro, Active 3D, motion flow 800 ( 60 Hz panel + eye bleeding x4 BFI ? )
W755C/W75C = Android. X reality pro, no 3D, motion flow 800 ( 60 Hz panel + eye bleeding x4 BFI ?)
W705C/W70C = No android but smart, X reality pro, no 3D, motion flow 200 (60 Hz panel + x2 BFI )
R550C / R55C = No android but smart, no 3D, motion flow 100 ( 60 Hz panel )
R440C / R44C = No smart, no 3D, motion flow 100 ( 60 Hz panel )

You can turn off BFI but hopefully they don't have PWM.

Great info!

I'm looking forward to the new Sony TVs with Android TV, but as you say the MediaTek chip does not look very powerful.

I hope that manufacturers will launch powerful Android TV 4K media players in the near future, too.

As I wrote in the other Panasonic thread, I'm very interested in the new Panasonic and Sony TVs.

I hope that you will take one of the new Sony W8 or X8 TVs in for testing ;)

I'm not sure yet, but we hope to take a look at one of the "value-for-money" TVs such as the W8 :) And then also one or two of the Ultra HD models.

Still waiting for the new Sony 2015 TVs! What is taking Sony so long? I remember that Sony has released most of its TV in February/March these past few years. Is it because of the Google involvement?...

I can't decide which one to buy Panasonic 55CX700 or Sony 55W805/9C :) 4K vs 2K, Firefox vs Android, I'can't wait for Sony tests.
