The first rumors about the Xperia XZ3 came around to
tell us a story of two cameras on the back, probably the ones that the Xperia
XZ2 Premium uses but lately the latest intel refutes that. It seemed dubious at
first but now that evidence is piling up that it is indeed the case.
Earlier we saw 360-degree render of the device
missing the second camera on the back and now a benchmark listing shows that
the phone will have an advanced single sensor on the back instead of two. The
phone with model number H8416 has appeared on GFXBench featuring a camera with
whopping 47MP resolution.
As most of you know, benchmark listings tend to have
a little deviation from the actual specs but we're likely looking at the 48MP
IMX586 sensor that Sony just unveiled. It has an even higher resolution than
Huawei's 40MP sensor on the P20 Pro and uses the same Quad Bayer technology.
Then again we've seen the dual camera configuration
in a live photo leak and even a photo of what seems to be the sensor setup.
Ideally, Sony is preparing two devices instead of one, which would explain the
contradicting reports. A little over a month remains until the Sony August 30 event, when
the confusion will be cleared.
