Sony is no longer a big name in the smartphone industry but it still launches a handful of smartphones every year. For instance, Q2 of 2020 is about to end but the company has only released three handsets so far and above all, they are limited to certain regions. But still, in the next half of the year, we might see another Sony phone powered by Snapdragon 865.
Yesterday, a mysterious Sony smartphone with model number 7Y6DU1I popped up on Geekbench. The listing reveals the handset to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC paired with 8GB RAM and Android 10 operating system.
This could be the second Sony device with Snapdragon 865 after Xperia 1 II. But it does not make sense for the Japanese electronics giant to launch a second flagship in 2020 as it determined to stick with one premium phone a year from 2019.
Another important thing is that the model number of this handset does not follow Sony’s standard format, which usually includes five characters (eg. 802SO – Xperia 1) or six with a hyphen like the newer model (eg. XQ-AT51 – Xperia 1 II). Instead, this device has seven characters – 7Y6DU1I.
Hence, we would like you to consider this benchmark listing with a pinch of salt. Anyway, If this smartphone indeed exists, then we can expect it to leak more in the coming days.
