Sony is done with all of its smartphone launches for 2022. Despite that, out of nowhere, a mysterious Sony handset has been spotted on Geekbench.

The listing not only reveals the device’s chipset but also its RAM capacity. At the same time, it also discloses the software.

Sony Xperia Ace 2

An unknown Sony-branded smartphone with model number XQ-DS99 has made its appearance on Geekbench. As per the listing, the phone will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 SoC.

Further, the handset will come with 12GB of RAM. We believe that there could be other memory variants as well. Finally, it will boot Android 12.

Unfortunately, that’s all the information we have on this mysterious Sony device. Anyway, we are looking forward to learning more about this phone in the coming days.

Going by the chip, the forthcoming Sony XQ-DS99 could be placed between the Xperia 5 IV and Xperia 10 IV. In simpler words, it could be an upper mid-range smartphone.

Since Sony now uses numerical names for its smartphones (except Ace), this one may also bear the same. If it is going to be part of new series, then it will likely be called other than 1, 5, and 10. However, we are not sure about it right now.

What are your thoughts on Sony XQ-DS99? Do let us know in the comment section below.

According to the Geekbench listing, the smartphone has an ARMv8-based octa-core chipset. Four of the cores are clocked at 2.75GHz and the remaining four have a clock speed of 2.00GHz. The listing also reveals that the chipset brings along the Mali-G610 MC6 GPU, making it highly likely that this chipset is the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 SoC.

Other than that, the listing reveals that the device has 12GB of RAM and runs on the Android 12-based operating system, likely the Magic UI 6.0. The smartphone scored 819 points on the single-core test and 3303 points on the multi-core test of Geekbench 5.

Other than that, the design of the upcoming smartphone has already leaked via renders showing a triple camera setup on two large circular-shaped camera islands. It is rumored to house a 54-megapixel (Sony IMX800) primary sensor clubbed together with a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens and an 8-megapixel telephoto camera.

Other than that, the device is expected to come with an FHD+ OLED LTPO panel with a 120W refresh rate and will likely come with a 4,600mAh battery and 100W fast charging.

Instead of the round-shaped camera rings available on the vanilla model, the Pro model features a pair of hexagonal units. The Honor 70 Pro is equipped with triple rear cameras and an LED flash.

Speaking of cameras, the Honor 70 Pro is expected to feature a 54-megapixel Sony IMX800 primary camera. While the exact screen size of the device is not known, it is expected to carry support for an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

The smartphone will be powered by the Dimensity 8000 chipset. It is expected to arrive with support for 100W fast charging. The details about its other cameras and battery size are yet to be revealed.

Honor 70 likely to come with Snapdragon 778G Plus

The OPPO Reno 8 Pro went official yesterday as the world’s first smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset. Several reports have claimed that the same chip will power the Honor 70. However, reliable source Teme claims that it will be equipped with the Snapdragon 778G Plus chipset. To recall, the Honor 60 and Honor 60 Pro were launched with Snapdragon 778G and 778G+ chipsets, respectively, in China last year.

As far as the Honor 70 Pro+ is concerned, it is expected to feature the Dimensity 9000 chipset. The appearance of the 70 Pro+ could be identical to that of the Honor 70 Pro.

The Honor 70 series is scheduled to launch on May 30 in China. The Chinese manufacturer is expected to announce the Honor 70, Honor 70 Pro, and Honor 70 Pro+ smartphones at the upcoming launch event. Reliable tipster Bald is Panda has shared key details of the Honor 70 lineup.

The leak further mentions that the Honor 70 Pro will be equipped with the Dimensity 8000 chipset, whereas the Pro+ edition will feature the Dimensity 9000 SoC. While it is not mentioned in the leak, it appears that the vanilla Honor 70 will arrive with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset.

Both smartphones are expected to carry support for 100W wired charging. Hence, it appears that the Honor phones with model numbers SDY-AN00 and HPB-AN00 that have been spotted with a 100W charger on the 3C certification platform could be the Honor 70 Pro and 70 Pro+, respectively.

Honor 70 and Honor 70 Pro

Previous reports have claimed that the Honor 70 series will be equipped with BOE-supplied OLED panels. It is speculated that the Honor 70 Pro and 70 Pro+ will carry support for LTPO technology. The vanilla model may pack a 4,800mAh battery with 66W fast charging. A 4,600mAh battery may power the Honor 70 Pro and 70 Pro+.

And interestingly, as per the scores on the benchmarking platform, the chip beats the last year’s market-favorite Snapdragon 870 to some extent.

Oppo has shared the official benchmark scores of the Dimensity 8000 Max chipset (via Digital Chat Station). The test was performed on the upcoming Oppo K10. The 5nm chipset has shown impressive results. It has only a 0.1GHz lower frequency than the Dimensity 8100 and has marched ahead of the Snapdragon 870.

OPPO K10 India launch date confirmed, design revealed

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 01:30:10 +0000

OPPO has started teasing the arrival of a new K-series of smartphones in India. While it has been selling A-series, F-series, and Find-series of smartphones for several years in India, it hasn’t launched a K-lineup phone since the OPPO K3 5G, which was announced in 2019. OPPO India’s website now has a landing page for the upcoming OPPO K10. The listing confirms that the Chinese manufacturer will be launching the K10 on March 23.

Starting from March 16, OPPO will be revealing more details about the OPPO K10 handset. It will be unveiled on March 23 and its first sale will be carried out on March 29. Apart from OPPO India’s website, the handset will be available for purchase through Flipkart.

The OPPO K10 will be available for purchase in blue and black colors. The rear side of the phone has a large rectangle-shaped block, which houses a 50-megapixel triple camera unit and “10-K Super Performance” text on the right. The left edge of the phone has a volume rocker, and its right spine has a power key, which is integrated with a fingerprint scanner. It will probably feature a punch-hole screen on the front.

According to a report by Gadgets 360, the OPPO K10 will be fueled by the Dimensity 8000 series chipset. The exact name of the processor will be confirmed on March 17. In India, the handset is expected to cost less than Rs 20,000 ($261).

MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series chip beats Snapdragon 888 in AnTuTu benchmarks

Sean — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 10:10:44 +0000

MediaTek is gearing up to launch new processors from its Dimensity 9000 and Dimensity 8000 series of processors. However, prior to any Dimensity powered smartphone’s release, a Dimensity 8000 series chip has been spotted on AnTuTu.

In the known benchmarking platform, the new chipset can be spotted with an impressive score of around 820,000 points. While there are more powerful chipsets, the Dimensity 8000 series is positioned under its top end flagship Dimensity 9000 series. Yet, this chipset managed to outperform Qualcomm’s 2021 flagship processor, the Snapdragon 888 SoC. As of right now, the Snapdragon 888 SoC scores around the 800,000 marks on AnTuTu. Previously, we had even reported on the Dimensity 9000 reportedly beating the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 as well, so it seems that MediaTek’s next gen lineup is quite the contender in the mobile chipset market this year.

Furthermore, Dimensity 8000 powered phones might be a great choice for many, since they would offer great performance and would be relatively cheaper than flagship handsets as well. Notably, the new Dimensity 8000 and Dimensity 9000 chips are also designed to be power efficient without compromising on performance. This year, various brands are expected to feature this chipset, including the likes of Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor, and other brands.

Redmi K50 and Realme GT Neo3 are coming with Dimensity 8000: Tipster

Staff — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 03:31:02 +0000

It has not been even one week since the announcement of Dimensity 9000 from MediaTek on their 16th December event, yet rumors are already spilling out for MediaTek’s next addition to the Dimensity family, the Dimensity 8000!

No news of specs or benchmarks of the Dimensity 8000 were leaked, however, an insider in China posted on Weibo that allegedly in 2022, Redmi will be releasing its Redmi K50 with the MediaTek Dimensity 8000 processor whereas Realme will be releasing its Realme GT Neo3 with the Dimensity 8000 under its hood too.

If the leaks are to be believed, the Redmi flagship K series will be fully transitioning from Qualcomm Snapdragon chips to MediaTek Dimensity processors next year. They are respectively, Dimensity 9000 for the Redmi K50 Pro and Dimensity 8000 for the regular Redmi K50.

This comes as a surprise as throughout the flagship Redmi K series, Redmi has never used MediaTek for its flagships prior to 2021. Redmi only used a MediaTek processor once for its flagships, which was the Redmi K40 Gaming Edition. For reference, the Redmi K40 series debuted in early 2021 with the flagship Snapdragon 888 for the Redmi K40 Pro & Redmi K40 Pro Plus, and the Snapdragon 870 for the regular Redmi K40.

2022 seems like the year where MediaTek could finally stand against its rival Qualcomm as both Oppo and Redmi had confirmed that they will be using their flagship processor, the Dimensity 9000 chipset in both their upcoming flagships. Henry Duan, Vice President at Oppo, revealed the next Find X flagship, presumably, the regular Find X4, will be its first device to be launched with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000. As for Redmi, General Manager of Redmi & Vice President of Xiaomi, Lu Weibing announced that Redmi will be using the Dimensity 9000 as well in their Redmi K50 series.
