TECHIEBEEZ INDIA
For the brand conscious ones, it is hard to rely on cheap brands as they are skeptical of its durability and performance. Sony is a brand that does not need any introduction and thus even those who have less budget are ready to expand it for quality sake. In this article, I'll be reviewing two 43 inches 4k cheapest TVs of Sony. One of them is the cheapest Android 4k TV.
Sony Bravia X7500E
Sony Bravia X7500E is an entry level 4k LED Smart TV that comes with the latest Android Nougat Operating System and has 16 GB of Storage. It is being sold on Flipkart for Rs 60,500. Though, a budget model, it comes with a pretty good picture quality and amazing sound.
This TV has a black coloured slim bezel with a U slate type gunmetal table-top stand.
This TV has 4 HDMI and 3 USB ports. Out of these, 2 HDMI and all 3 USB ports fall on the side, which makes it easy to use these ports even when the TV is wall mounted. HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows you to connect your external audio devices with this TV, whereas, using the HDMI CEC, you can operate all attached HDMI devices through a single remote.
Though this TV uses Edge-lit backlighting, Sony has employed a number of technologies to enhance the picture quality of this TV.

The black and white levels of this TV are pure and the contrast is pretty good. The picture upscaling engine of this TV is effective and all FHD and HD videos that were played on it turned out to better in resolution than the original video.

Sony Bravia X7002E Picture quality |
Though this is the cheapest model of Sony, its picture and sound quality is pretty good.
In this TV, you get licensed streaming to Netflix, YouTube and Amazon Prime videos. Here you get access to Opera Store rather than Google Play Store. It has a storage memory of 4 GB and you get direct buttons to YouTube and Netflix on your remote.
The user interface (UI) of this TV is simple, but a bit slow as applications take time to load.
As the price difference between the Android model and this TV is minimal, my advice to you all is to go for the Android model as it has many useful features that are absent in Sony Bravia X7002E series of TVs.
