Here's our dedicated page on Sony's new X850F series of 2018 UHD/HDR TVs. All technical specs, .pdf spec sheets, prices, expected launch dates and more are available on our site.

Here's a few of the highlights:
Sony is using the X1 processor. This series supports HDR10 and HLG HDR and does not support Dolby Vision HDR.
For 2018 X850F we can expect higher peak luminance. The new Android Smart platform works with popular smart speakers such as Sony’s LF-S50G, Google Home or Amazon Alexa capable speakers, like Sonos' with Alexa enabled.

The new Android TV supports Google Cast, voice search & Play Store apps, & Google Assistant built-in. The Google Assistant on Sony’s Android TV works just by pushing the microphone button on the remote and using your voice to ask a question or say a command.

Available sizes and suggested retail list prices:
- XBR-65X850F $1,999.99
- XBR-75X850F $3,299.99
- XBR-85X850F $TBD

Prices are SRP at launch Sony will release the "SURE" prices, which are likely to be lower than SRP.
 
Will it support Dolby Vision in the future with a firmware update?
 
Sorry to say, not Dolby Vision support for the X850F. Sony only support DV on X1 Extreme equipped processor models. So for 2018 it's the X900F and up.
