Two new Sony smartphones have been revealed on the GFXBench online benchmark database. The phones are only known by their model numbers presently.
According to information from GFXBench, the phone with model number Sony F3216 has a 4.6-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 21 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 16 MP front (selfie) camera, has a 2GB RAM with an internal storage of 16GB. It’scomes with a 1.9 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and the Mali-T860 GPU and is powered by the MediaTek MT6755 Helio P10 SoC. The prototype tested ran the Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
With the above specifications, this device can be believed to be the upcoming Xperia C6, a handset that was allegedly pictured a couple of weeks ago. If this belief is true, the phone will be the successor to the Xperia C5 Ultra (pictured above) which was released last year, and it’s said to come with a 6-inch screen. Let it be noted that display sizes gotten from early prototype benchmarks are sometimes incorrect as had been observed previously when a device was estimated to have a size of 4.6″ for a device with larger panels.
Further observations despite an estimated size of 4.6″ could still pin the model F3216 to the C6 as the C5 Ultra had a big focus on its front camera at 13 MP along with LED flash. The F3216 takes things further with a 16 MP sensor.
The other handset that is leaked as seen on the benchmark’s online database is the Sony F3311. This is a lower-end offering with specifications listed as a 4.6-inch 720p touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera, a 5 MP selfie shooter, 1.5GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, as well as Android 6.0 on board. At the helm is MediaTek’s MT6735 chipset, with a 1.3 GHz quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and the Mali-T720 GPU.
I feel a 2G RAM is kinda small for a phone like this.
