Sony keeps working on its next lineup of smartphones
and a recent leak of a phone with model number Sony H8216 basically confirms
it. The device is rumored to be an Xperia XZ1 successor, with a size of 148 × 73.4 × 7.4 mm, weighing approximately
156 grams and featuring an IP65/68 rating.
According to the source of the leak, it will run on
the new flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset, along with 4GB of RAM and
64GB of storage. This new mystery device is expected to come with a full HD
display (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), packing a diagonal of 5.48 inches – a bit
bigger than the 5.2 inches of the XZ1. As we can understand it’s not an 18:9
display phone, but rumor has it that it will have reduced bezels – something
that most Sony fans will appreciate I guess.
If you’re curious about its imaging features then
you will be glad to know that it will be equipped with two 12MP snappers on the
back and a 15MP selfie shooter on the front. The device will ship with Android
8.1 Oreo along with a 3,130 mAh battery, with Quick Charge support for fast
charging.
The specs insist that it will also come with dual
SIM support and – unfortunately – a micro USB port.
