Smartisan has a couple of new phones on the horizon,
but while we wait for the big guns to launch, the brand seems to be working on
something for the mid-range market.
Over the next couple of months we expect Smartisan
to launch a flagship phone (possibly the T3 and T3X) with a powerful Snapdragon
835 processor, but we now also believe the manufacturer plans on releasing a
more mid-range offering.
This mid-range phone could be called the Smartisan
Pro, and from leaks will come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 626, an updated
version of the successful Snapdragon 625. In keeping with rival mid-range
phones, the Smartisan Pro is also going to get a dual camera on the rear.
So what were talking about here is an octacore
smartphone running at 2.2 Ghz, with Adreno 506 GPU, 64GB memory and dual rear
cameras. Other details include a fingerprint scanner on the rear, 5.5-inch 1920
x 1080 display, 3.5mm headphone jack and USB Type C.
Leaked images of the phone also suggest an all glass
design giving the phone an attractive and upmarket appearance. While the
Smartisan Pro looks impressive so far it is hard to get to excited about the
phone as these devices tend to only launch in China, and come with a heavily
modified operating system.
