Back in August, several Sony Xperia ZG Compact
listings appeared in the Geekbench database. Now, the phone makes another
appearance with slightly different scores. Both scores are a bit lower than the
results in August, and a lot lower than the Xperia Z5 Compact results with
Snapdragon 810 from 2015.
It is highly unlikely Sony is building a phone with
such an old chipset, especially when the Xperia XZ1 Compact came out in August
with Snapdragon 835.
There are two possible explanations for this. For
one, the device name may have been falsified and all of this is just someone
feeding fans false hopes. Alternatively, this could be a device of lower
standing, compared to the XZ1 Compact, and so it's running older hardware.
Smart money is on the first version, but you never know.
