There are speculations that Google will launch a Pixel Mini alongside the Pixel 3/XL which are expected to launch on October 9. The tech giant had released a teaser on its Instagram page a couple of days back talking about the Pixel Mini. Here’s what Google said; In the post, Google said, “We’ve heard rumors of a mini Pixel. Which begs the question how “mini” is too mini? We have a feeling the next one will be a bit bigger than this. Tune in on 10/9 to see for yourself.”

The statement doesn’t really confirm its existence but fuels earlier speculations about its existence. A device suspected to be the Pixel Mini has been spotted on GFXBench. According to popular tipster, Roland Quandt, someone has been testing a Google phone with the code name “Bonito,” on GFXBench. The phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 710 Mobile Platform. This could be the Pixel Mini as “Bonito” is the name of a small fish that is a relative of the Tuna.

Someone has been testing Google "Bonito" with GFXBench lately. Make of this what you will. And HMD "Phoenix" is coming soon. I think that's Nokia 7.1 Plus, while "Rooster" (aka ROO) is Nokia 7.1. (big bird, small bird, you know…) https://t.co/G95tIm1EN1

Last night, Samsung “unpacked” its latest flagships – the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ and the internet has not stopped talking about them.

While most people are focused on the looks and the cameras, it is what is under the hood that interests those of us who are more tech savvy.

Like its predecessors, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ come in two variants – an Exynos powered version which will be available internationally and a Snapdragon variant for the US market. However, it is said that only the Exynos 9810 variant was on display yesterday.

Phonearena got to play with a unit and ran some benchmark tests to see how Samsung’s latest chipset performs and the results are nothing short of outstanding.

We already saw some benchmark results before the phone launched though but these cover all the major benchmark tests.

Samsung’s Galaxy S9 scores a total of 241470 on AnTuTu. It even surpasses the iPhone X (Bionic A11) with over 15000 points. The Snapdragon 835-powered LG V30 comes in at number 4 with 174456. As we already know, Snapdragon 845 phones seen on AnTuTu like the Mi MIX 2S have a much higher score.

For graphics (GFXBench Manhattan), the Galaxy S9 doesn’t do badly. It comes after the iPhone X and iPhone 8 Plus but is just two points ahead of the Galaxy S8.

However, it does score high on Geekbench. Its single-core score is over 3000 points. It is still below the iPhone X but it leaves the Snapdragon 835 in the dust. It also recorded 8750 points in the multi-core test.

It is safe to say that the Exynos 9810 Galaxy S9 can handle anything thrown at it. It boasts a significant upgrade over its predecessors and over last year’s competitors. So if you are looking for one more reason to purchase it, you’ve got it up there.

TCL-owned Alcatel has a bunch of smartphones lined up for this year. Some of them like the Alcatel 5 and Alcatel 3C have been in the news recently. Today, another one benchmarked as the TCL 5099 but said to be the Alcatel A3A XL has appeared on GFXBench revealing a large part of its specification details.

The TCL 5099 is listed as sporting a 5” display with a 2160 x 1080 resolution that translates into an 18:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by MediaTek’s MT6735 SoC clocked at 1.4GHz with a Mali-T720 as the GPU.

There is 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, though only 10GB or 11GB will be available for use. Be rest assured that a microSD card slot will be available for storage expansion.

For optics, the phone has a 16MP rear camera and an 8MP front facing camera. It runs Android Oreo and even has NFC.

There are reports that this is the Alcatel A3A XL, a successor to last year’s A3 XL. There is a likelihood this is incorrect since it has a 5” display which is significantly smaller than the A3 XL’s 6” screen. Plus it makes no sense to give a phone with a 5” screen a “XL” suffix.

Left to us, we believe this is the Alcatel A3A which will succeed last year’s A3 model. The Alcatel A3 launched with a 5” display, so it makes more sense that the A3A will retain the small screen size albeit with a higher resolution and new aspect ratio. There is also a chance that GFXBench is wrong with the display size and this is indeed the Alcatel A3A XL.

A few weeks ago, an Alcatel phone with model number 5099D was seen at the FCC and also on the Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth certification sites.

Wi-Fi Alliance does confirm that the 5099D is indeed the Alcatel A3A XL. The Bluetooth certification site also lists several other models differing only in the alphabet ending the model number. However all five models are said to have 6” displays with Bluetooth 4.2, WiFi, 2G, 3G, and LTE.

Just like Google, Sony is another manufacturer that hasn’t yet jumped on the dual camera train. However, that may be changing soon. A new smartphone codenamed the H3213 Avenger has been seen on GFXBench and it packs dual front cameras,

The Sony H3213 Avenger has a 6-inch FHD display. This is the same size as that of the XA1 Ultra but it is unknown if when itwill come with the new design Sony is planning for next year.

There is 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (20GB available!!!) and a Snapdragon 630 is the chipset of choice. The octa-core processor is clocked at 2.2GHz and has the Adreno 508 as its GPU.

For its first dual camera smartphone, Sony is going all out with it. It has a 16MP primary sensor that can record in 4K and its paired with an 8MP sensor. There is a chance the secondary sensor of the will capture depth of field information for portrait images.

The Sony H3213 Avenger packs a 21MP rear camera with support for 4K video recording, autofocus, and HDR photography. It also runs Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.

These are pretty solid specs for a mid-range device. What remains to be known is the design, price tag, and release date.

Last week we reported that the OnePlus 5T was seen on GFXBench. Since we didn’t find it on the benchmarking site and it also looked weird, we included a disclaimer asking you to take it with a pinch of salt. Although we already know what the phone will look like and what it packs, thanks to the early reveal by those who got the device ahead of its release, we still think it’s necessary to mention that a genuine listing has appeared on GFXBench.

The OnePlus 5T is shown to have model number A5010, similar to that of the OnePlus 3T (A3010). The device is running Android 7.1.1 Nougat, confirming again that the phone won’t come with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.

The display is listed as 6-inches with a 2160 x 1080 resolution that translates into an 18:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 mobile platform, an octa-core CPU clocked at 2.4GHz with an Adreno 540 as its GPU.

The OnePlus 5T benchmarked above packs 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage but it will also have a 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM variant.

For optics, the OnePlus 5T packs a 16MP camera on the rear, this is the primary one of the two sensors that grace its back. The other is a 20MP sensor but GFXBench only detects one of the two. There is also a 16MP camera in front for selfies.

The post OnePlus 5T Appears on GFXBench, Genuine Listing This Time appeared first on Gizmochina.

OnePlus has confirmed that there is indeed a OnePlus 5T coming. A blog post as to why they kept the audio jack was the official reveal. Another confirmation of the device’s existence was on Weibo. The micro-blogging site is known to show the device used in posting. And on Thursday, a post by OnePlus co-founder Pete Lau, revealed the device in use was a OnePlus 5T.

Today, the OnePlus 5T has been seen on GFXBench and the benchmarking site reveals some specification details of the upcoming phone. The listing itself isn’t on the official GFXBench site. We don’t know if it was pulled down or if this is genuine, so we advice you take this with a pinch of salt.

The OnePlus 5T is shown here running Android 7.1.1 Nougat and not Android 8.0 which is disappointing. We won’t be surprised if that is what it actually comes with out of the box. We saw the same scenario play out last year with the OnePlus 3T. Android Nougat was already out but it came with Android Marshmallow out of the box. Weeks later, it got upgraded to Nougat and it is up for an update to Oreo – its last major update. Hence fulfilling the unwritten rule of at least two major OS updates.

We hope OnePlus doesn’t pull the same trick with the OP5T. It will be disappointing as it is seen as a very lazy move.

The OnePlus 5T is shown as sporting a 6.01-inch display with a 2160 x 1080 resolution that translates into an 18:9 aspect ratio. The processor is the Snapdragon 835 with an Adreno 540 GPU, same as the OnePlus 5

For RAM and ROM, there will be a 6GB RAM model with 64GB ROM and an 8GB RAM model with 128GB of storage. Rear camera is listed as a 16MP sensor but we know it is a dual camera setup. The front camera has been bumped up from 16MP to 20MP.

There is no battery info, so we are still in the dark about that. However, if you have been waiting for wireless charging to come to the OnePlus, you will have to keep hoping. Pete Lau took to weibo to explain why they don’t see it happening soon.

According to him, as long as there is Dash Charge there is no reason for wireless charging. Whichever one you use, your device still stays in one spot while charging. He also adds that the wireless charging coil make phones thicker, which apparently is not what they are aiming for.

The post OnePlus 5T Seen on GFXBench: 6” 18:9 Display & Up To 8GB of RAM appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Gionee announced two new smartphones – the M7 and the M7 Power (Steel 2 Plus). Packing FullView displays with an 18:9 aspect ratio, both phones are two of the FullView phones expected to launch. A new phone listed as the Gionee F205 has been seen on GFXBench and its display resolution translates to an 18:9 aspect ratio hinting at it being another FullView smartphone set to arrive soon.

The Gionee F205 is a 5” smartphone with a 1440 x 720 (HD+) resolution. It is powered by MediaTek’s new MT6739 SoC clocked at 1.5GHz. The quad-core chip which was announced last month has 18:9 display support in addition to dual LTE support (4G +4G) as some of its features. The GPU is the PowerVR Rogue GE1800 paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.

The Gionee F205 has an 8MP rear camera that can record in 4K and a 5MP front facing camera. We can’t tell if it has dual rear cameras since GFXBench only recognizes one of the sensors. The device runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box.

The specs of the F205 point at an entry level mid-range phone. Price should also be under $200 based on the features. When the device makes it to TENAA, we should have the full spec details.

The Micromax Canvas Infinity was released about a month ago. The mid-range device is the first smartphone with a full-screen display from the Indian brand. It appears that another one will be arriving soon as a Micromax HS3 with a smaller but similar display has been seen on GFXBench.

The Micromax HS3 runs Android 7.1.2. It has a 5.1-inch display which is significantly smaller than the 5.7-inch screen of the Canvas Infinity. However, both devices have the same 1440 x 720 resolution which translates to a 2:1 display.

The HS3 is powered by a octa-core processor which is either the Snapdragon 430/435 with an Adreno 505 GPU. It has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

GFXBench reveals the full-screen display will not be the only selling point of the Micromax HS3 when it hits shelves. Its front camera is listed as a 20MP sensor and the rear camera is a 16MP sensor.

If the price is right, then it should be able to swing buyers away from the Vivo V7+ which has a 24MP selfie camera, an 18:9 display and a INR 21,990 (~$343) price.

The GFXBench may mean a release date is not far ahead.

A month ago, a device codenamed Chiron was seen on the Beijing Subway database. It was said to be the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2. The Mi MIX 2 was unveiled last week and the Xiaomi Chiron has surfaced again, this time on GFXBench. The specs are different which means this is another device entirely and not the Mi MIX 2.

The benchmarking site reveals the Xiaomi Chiron has a 5.6-inch full HD screen. It is powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 2.4GHz. The Adreno 540 GPU gives it away as the Snapdragon 835.

The Xiaomi Chiron packs 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It has a 12MP rear camera that can record 4K videos and a 5MP front facing camera. Just has reported the first time it appeared, the Chiron does have NFC support.

Now let’s analyse the specs. If Xiaomi hadn’t released a 6GB RAM + 256GB variant of the Mi MIX 2, we could assume this was it. However, the fact that the screen is even smaller at 5.6-inches completely negates that argument.

My guess is that this is the Mi Note 3 Pro. The 1st generation Mi Note came in two variants – a Snapdragon 801 variant and a Snapdragon 810 model that carried the Pro suffix.

Although the Mi Note 2 ditched the tradition, it doesn’t mean Xiaomi can’t resume it now. So I presume the plan was to first launch the Mi Note 3 with a Snapdragon 660 processor and then later release the Snapdragon 835-powered Chiron as the Mi Note 3 Pro. That way, those who want a bigger Mi 6 can purchase it without sacrificing the Snapdragon 835 processor like the Mi Note 3 does.

This is also the reasonable thing to do since there is no Snapdragon 836. And if this not a Mi Note 3 Pro, then it may as well just launch as the Mi 6 Plus.

Sony released a couple of new phones at IFA early this month. In spite of that, it seems it still has more planned before the year runs out. One of them just showed up on GFXBench as the Sony H4233 and it packs some pretty impressive specs.

The Sony H4233 sits in the phablet category with its 6-inch Full HD display. There is a Snapdragon 630 mobile platform powering it alongside an Adreno 508 GPU. It has 4GB of RAM and storage is 64GB and should probably be expandable.

The H4233 takes things further with its cameras. There is a 21MP sensor on the rear that can shoot in 4K. The front camera is a 16MP sensor and can also record 4K videos.

The device runs Android 8.0.0 and has NFC. Sony has also included a bunch of sensors.

The Sony H4233 does look like an interesting mid-range phone but Sony will definitely not give it a mid-range price. But if you don’t like the Xperia XA1 Ultra, you may want to consider this. Let’s hope it has a battery bigger than 2700mAh.

ZTE’s Nubia brand is very well known for its premium smartphones as well as nicely priced mid-range models but the company seems to also target the budget segment. The Nubia NX907J was first spotted on TENAA where it received certification about two months ago, revealing the key features and specifications of the device. Since then, we haven’t heard anything about the model until its latest appearance on GFXBench.

The Nubia NX907J has appeared on GFXBench and the listing gives us another opportunity to find out about the specifications. GFXBench isn’t very detailed when it comes to specs listing but we could grab a thing or two about the device. GFXBench lists the NX907J as coming with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.4GHz and having eight Cortex-A53 cores. The device also comes with an Adreno 505 graphics processor. The processor isn’t specified but we believe it is a Snapdragon 435 chipset which was used on the Nubia M2 Play launched a couple of months back.

Going further, the Nubia NX907J is also listed as packing 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage onboard storage, out of which around 22GB is available to the end user. The memory is different from the 2GB RAM + 16GB storage which the device was listed on TENAA as packing. That shows there will be more than one variant available whenever it is launched.  In addition, the device is listed as coming with a 12 MP rear camera and 5MP front-facing selfie camera. The device also features an HD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels while the display size was given as 9.2 inches. This is likely an error as the NX907J was listed on TENAA with a 5.5-inch display.

A few weeks ago we reported that an industry source revealed that we should expect full screen smartphones from the big names in China. A new GFXBench listing shows Gionee may be the first of those big names to do so. The Gionee SW17W08 packs a 6-inch display with a 1440 x 720 resolution. This is the same resolution as the newly announced Micromax Canvas Infinity.

The Gionee has a larger 6-inch display which will result in a lower ppi compared to the Micromax. However, the rest of the specs are mid-range level.

There is a Helio P25 chip clocked at 2.6GHz along with a Mali-T880 GPU. There is 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage inside the Gionee SW17W08 which should more than suffice.

In terms of optics, GFXBench lists both the front and rear cameras as 5MP sensors. Don’t be quick to condemn them as there may be dual cameras on both sides just like the Gionee S10 and GFXBench only sees one of each.

The Gionee SW17W08 runs Android 7.0 but expect Amigo OS 4.0 on top.

There is no news as to when this device will launch but if you have been putting off buying an 18:9 smartphone because you want one from a bigger Chinese brand, you may not have to wait for too long.

You should have it in mind that you will be paying a lot more than what is obtainable from other manufacturers as Gionee phones don’t come cheap.

Alcatel or rather TCL is preparing for this year’s edition of IFA Berlin. A few days ago, there was a leak that revealed some of the phones expected to be showcased at the event. One of them is the Alcatel A7 XL, a 6-inch phablet with dual rear cameras. A smaller version called the Alcatel A7 has been seen on GFXBench.

The Alcatel A7 was actually benchmarked as the Alcatel 5090. Unlike the A7 XL which has a larger HD screen, this comes with a 5.5-inch full HD screen. Geekbench shows two RAM variants: a 3GB version and a 4GB version. Built-in storage is 32GB.

The Alcatel A7 is powered by a MT6750T, an octa-core chip clocked at 1.5GHz. It has a 16MP rear camera, an 8MP front facing camera and runs Android 7.0 Nougat with Alcatel’s own UI overlay.

Popular leaker Roland Quandt has provided images of the device which reveal more details. The phone comes in black with gold accents in certain places.

There is a front LED flash for brighter selfies and it also has dual front facing speakers. The latter isn’t something you usually see on a mid-range device. There is a volume rocker on the right, just above a textured power button. No image of the rear was provided but Roland Quandt said he believes it has dual cameras.

Galaxy Note 8 GFXBench

Starting with GFXBench, the version seen on the site is the Exynos-8895 powered variant (SM-N950). The device is shown to have a 6.4-inch display and not 6.3-inches as previously reported. The resolution is 2960 x 1440.

The Exynos 8895’s CPU is clocked at 2.3GHz and paired with a Mali-G71 GPU. There is 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

For optics, GFXBench lists the camera as an 11MP (12MP) sensor. The Benchmark tool doesn’t identify the second camera but sources say the Note 8 may feature two 12MP sensors. Front camera is an 8MP sensor that can record in Full HD.

GFXBench also includes the usual sensors and connectivity features.

Galaxy Note 8 AnTuTu

For AnTuTu, there are a number of differences. The model number is SM-N9500 and the processor is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 with the GPU as the Adreno 540. The display resolution is different at 1080 x 2220. This is the default resolution the Galaxy S8 was set to out of the box, though with the option to adjust it.

AnTuTu lists the camera configuration as 8MP and 12MP. RAM is 6GB and built-in storage is 64GB. Just like the Exynos variant, this version also runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

Right now, a GFXBench test result screenshot alleged to be that of the Exynos 9610 chip has leaked via Weibo. The benchmark result is listed for a Samsung device with model number SM-A730x which is believed to be the Galaxy A7 (2018). The device is listed to feature a 2.1GHz processor with Cortex-A53 core and Mali-G71 GPU which is consistent with those of the Exynos 9610, well except the GPU. Configuration wise, the Exynos 9610  is said to be manufactured using the 14nm LPP process and integrates the entire network baseband. The chip is made up of four Cortex -A73 cores and eight Cortex-A53 cores. The Exynos 9610 is also said to feature a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU which looks like a Nvidia GPU.

The smartphone on which it is featured, that is the SM-A730x model comes with Android 7.1.1 Nougat with a Full HD display resolution. The device also packs 4GB of RAm and 32Gb of storage as well as 16MP cameras both at the front and rear. We really can’t be certain if this is the Exynos 9610 so, we’ll still have to wait for more details on it.

Chinese smartphone maker 360 Mobiles is an arm of a sprawling tech company under the parent company known as Qihoo 360. Their other concerns include a very popular anti-virus software business among others. The 360 Mobiles arm is known for the manufacture of sleek devices adorning a powerful specs lineup with cheap price tags. A new GFXBench appearance by a 360 Mobiles phone has revealed that the company may be working on a 6GB RAM phone.

It is not that 360 Mobiles has not got a 6GB RAM phone, the 360 N5 was launched earlier this year packing 6GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 653 Systems-on-Chips (SoC). But the GFXBench data show they are working on something similar in hardware to the N5. The device appears with the codename QiKU 1607-A01 but since QiKU has changed to Qihoo 360 which now manufactures devices under the ‘360’ branding, the device is certainly a 360 Mobile model. 

If the 6GB of RAM sounds interesting to you, other specs might douse your interest as the device still remains a mid-range model. The 360 Mobiles phone is listed as sporting a 5.7-inch 1080p display and will be fired up by a 1.8GHz 64bit Octa-core chip believed to be a Snapdragon 652 chip due to the presence of the Adreno 510 GPU. It is even possible that this is a similar Snapdragon 653 on the N5 and N5s since both chips will have the same motherboard. Providing the interface will be an Android 7.1 Nougat OS.

Read More: 360 N5S 32GB Version Announced for ¥1399 ($205)

We can’t say what particular name this device will launch with but it may likely be a Plus sized variant of the 360 N5. A 360 N5 Plus sounds logical considering the display is a little bigger than the 5.5-inch N5 and N5s which was also launched recently with a Snapdragon 653 chip as well. We can’t be so sure about that though, but we expect it to come with a cheap price tag just like previous models.

A new Motorola device just appeared on GFXBench. The Motorola XT1789 has unusual specs that do not correspond to any of the upcoming Motorola phones making us wonder if this is a new device entirely.

It is not the Moto G5S because that is supposed to have a 5.2-inch display. Neither is it the G5S Plus as that will launch with a 5.5-inch screen. The camera configuration also differs from that of the Moto X4. So what device is this?

The Motorola XT1789 has a 5.0-inch FHD display. There is 3GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and an octa-core processor. The processor is clocked at 2.2GHz and is paired with an Adreno 508 GPU. This is either the Snapdragon 630 or Snapdragon 660.

For optics, the Motorola XT1789 has a 12MP rear camera that can record in 4K. The front camera is a 16MP sensor which is an unusual pixel count on a Motorola phone. The XT1789 runs Android 7.1.1 and has NFC too.

The specs definitely point at a mid-range device which makes us think it belongs to the G series or maybe it is a variant of the Moto X4. Until we get more details on the device, our guess is as good as yours.

The YotaPhone 3 has been spotted on GFXBench’s database, revealing the device’s model number as Yota Y3. The benchmark has confirmed previous rumors of the YotaPhone 3’s specifications; this includes: a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and running Android 7.1.1 (Nougat). Unlike my previous article, it appears that YotaPhone 3 will be sticking to a 5-inch display, like its predecessor, instead of the rumored 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch displays. We will be staying tuned to provide more details to confirm whether Yota will be providing any other display alternatives, however, variants are expected to be unlikely.

Confirmed from the benchmark, the device will be sporting 4GB RAM and have a minimum 64GB internal storage, note: 51GB will be available to the user. We also know that Yota has confirmed they will be providing a second, larger storage, device at 128GB. The Qualcomm processor is expected to a Snapdragon 625, this has been concluded from the system-on-chip makeup, containing eight ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores clocked up to 2.0GHz paired with an Adreno 506 graphics processor. We also know that the YotaPhone 3 will feature a rear-facing 12-megapixel camera supporting 4K (3840 x 2160) video recording, High Dynamic Range (HDR) photos, face detection, and autofocus. For selfies, the device will come with a 12-megapixel front-facing camera.

In terms of sensors and connectivity, the YotaPhone 3 will have a gyroscope, a compass, accelerometer, Bluetooth and GPS connectivity, but lacks NFC. What key component we are missing from the GFXBench is the specification of the secondary e-ink display that will come with the YotaPhone 3, however, we expect Yota will be sticking to a 5.2-inch E-ink display with 1280 x 720 resolution, like its predecessor. Other features we’d be expecting is a front-facing fingerprint sensor and powered by a 3,200mAh battery. Note: This is speculated.

In terms of release and availability, the YotaPhone 3 is rumored to officially be launched and available for preorder this summer. The source states a Russian manufacturer confirmed the prices smartphones’ launch prices, ranging from $350 for the 64GB model to $450 for the 128GB model.

What do you think about the GFXBench’s publication of YotaPhone 3’s specification?

The OnePlus 5 details keep rolling in non-stop. Earlier today it appeared on GeekBench, confirming the RAM. Now, it has surfaced on GFXBench, where more details have been revealed.

The rear cameras are the most anticipated feature of the OnePlus 5. OnePlus has joined the dual camera train and the GFXBench listing gives us half of the details. We know the benchmarking site only detects one of the dual cameras, so the other sensor is still unknown.

The listing reveals the OnePlus 5 will come with a 16MP primary rear camera just like the OnePlus 3T. It will have support for 4K recording, HDR and face detection. The front camera doesn’t change too as its still a 16MP sensor.

The Geekbench listing also reveals the display size and resolution. Even though OnePlus already hinted that the phone has a smaller form-factor compared to the OnePlus 3T, it is still a 5.5-inch display…….and with a 1080p resolution. Sorry guys, no 2K display this year.

The OP5 will come with 128GB of storage, 8GB RAM and NFC. The Snapdragon 835 processor is clocked at 2.4GHz and there is an Adreno 540 GPU on board.

Right now, the only details we don’t know are that of the second rear camera and the battery capacity. These will no doubt show up on the TENAA listing.

A new device codenamed Xiaomi Jason has been seen on GFXBench. Since the Mi Max 2 is already out of the way, the only device we are thinking it might be is the Redmi Pro 2. However, the display size is what’s preventing us from ruling outright that this is the Redmi Pro  2.

According to the info on GFXBench, the Xiaomi Jason has a 5.1-inch FHD display. This is smaller than the size of the original Redmi Pro which is a 5.5-inch display. This singular reason makes us think it might not be the Pro 2.

There is also a possibility that Xiaomi decided to cut down the display size just the way Motorola did with the Moto G5 Plus and offer the Redmi Pro 2 as a top tier mid-range phone. But reducing the screen size isn’t the only thing required for a top mid-range phone.

The Xiaomi Jason runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat, has 6GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. It is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm CPU clocked at 2.2GHz and an Adreno 512 GPU. There is no doubt that this is the Snapdragon 660 chip, the king of the mid-range chips.

The rear camera on the Xiaomi Jason is an 11MP (12MP) sensor that can record in 4K while the front facing camera is a 3MP sensor. The latter is probably a 4MP UltraPixel sensor like the one in the Mi 5. Another feature the Xiaomi Jason has is NFC support.

If this isn’t the Redmi Pro 2, then we don’t know what it is seeing as Xiaomi’s CEO, Lei Jun has quelled rumors of a Mi 6c.

There are indications that Taiwanese tech giant ASUS is working on a new smartphone which has now been spotted on benchmark website GFXBench. The smartphone appeared on GFXBench with the model number ASUS X00ID. The GFXBench lsiting also gave us a glimpse of the specifications of the new smartphone.

According to the listing, the ASUS X00ID will sport a 5.5-inch display with a 1280 X 720 resolution which effectively places it in the mid-tier category. The device is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Octa-core processor clocked at 1.4 GHz with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. The Adreno 505 GPU the device is listed with makes the processor likely a Snapdragon  430 chipset, which is the same with that used on the Nokia 6.

Perhaps, the most interesting aspect of the device is the dual rear camera setup capable of shooting 4K videos which it is listed as coming with. The main camera is given as a 13MP + 5MP camera capable of capturing FHD videos. On the front, there will be an 8MP selfie camera. The device is also listed to run Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.

As at this moment, the launch iterinary for this smartphone is unknown, but the phone is likely a new Zenfone model. Numerous rumours concerning ASUS has been released which range from speculations that the new ASUS ZenFone 4 will be launched in May of 2017 to suspicions that ASUS might use the MediaTek SoCs in its next ZenFone device. So, a lot of information about this device is still pending as the GFXBench listing onlu listed a few. Details such as its battery capacity, pricing and the actual release date are yet to be revealed. We expect more details aboout the ASUS X00ID to come up soon.

Xiaomi Mi 6 has taken all the attention of Chinese mobile fans in the past few months. But if you are looking for a bigger update, in terms of the screen size, we might have something interesting today — the yet to be announced Xiaomi Mi Max 2. 

The Mi Max 2 model seems to have gone through the GFXBench benchmarking app under the code name Xiaomi Oxygen, revealing all the basic specs of the device. First of all, we know the phone is from the large phablet series mainly because of its supersized 6.4-inch 1080p display as revealed by the benchmark listing. Under the hood, the phone is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor clocked at 2.2GHz. While the exact model wasn’t revealed in the benchmark, it seems that this octa-core chip is none other than the rumored Snapdragon 660 mid-range processor. There were rumors about the same chip being used by a Xiaomi phone, so this kind of goes well with the previous leaks.

Other Xiaomi Mi Max 2 specs revealed by GFXBench include 4GB of RAM, 128GB storage, and Adreno 506 GPU. Then there’s a 12MP camera at the back capable of recording 4K videos and a 5MP shooter up front. In case you are wondering, there’s NFC as well.

To recap, the rumored specs of the Snapdragon 660 include octa-core architecture @ 2.2GHz, manufactured on a 14nm Samsung process, LPDDR4X memory support, X10 LTE and UFS 2.1. Of course, these are just rumored specs and we will have to wait for Qualcomm to officially take the wraps of the chip to confirm them.

Note that the Xiaomi Mi Max was announced in May 2o16, so it’s likely that we’ll see an update to the model in the coming months.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 is surely one of the most anticipated devices to come out of China. If the rumors are true, the Mi 6 should have been launched this time next week. While we await its release, you may want to feast your eyes on this new specification sheet from GFXBench.

The device benchmarked here is called the Xiaomi Sagit and we believe that’s a codename for the Mi 6. Most of the specs are in pairs meaning that two variants were probably benchmarked together. It’s unusual but since its on GFXBench, we do not doubt its authenticity.

The Xiaomi Sagit sports a 5.15-inch display with a FHD resolution. The CPU is the first place we see there are two variants. The processor is an octa-core chip from Qualcomm and its definitely the Snapdragon 835 seeing as the GPU is an Adreno 540. The first listing shows it is clocked at 2.2GHz while the second one is clocked at 2.4GHz. It turns out that Xiaomi will continue its trend of underclocking the processor in the base variant of its flagship.

The RAM comes next. One is listed as having 4GB of RAM while the other has 6GB of RAM. For storage we get 128GB and 64GB. So we are looking at a 4GB + 64GB and 6GB + 128GB configuration when it launches.

For optics, the Xiaomi Sagit features a 12MP sensor on the back that can record in 4K and an 8MP that also shoots 4K videos. The device runs an unspecified version of MIUI based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat and also has NFC for mobile payments.

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor has been put through a number of fresh tests. These new tests are also a comparison with other chips such as Apple’ A10, and the Snapdragon 820, 808, 805 and 800 chipsets.

First we see how the Snapdragon 835 compares against the other processors on GeekBench 4. Qualcomm’s new processor scores 2048 points in the single-core test and 6484 points in the multi-core test. Comparing it to the others, we see the SD835 ranks highest in the multi-core test. Only Apple’s A10 chip comes close with 5610 points.

However, the roles are reversed when it comes to the single-core test results. The SD835 does surpass its other Snapdragon comrades but it lags behind the Apple A10 which records a total of 3458 points.

The next benchmark test is PCMark Work 2.0. PCMark is a test that combines performance and battery efficiency of a device as a complete unit instead of as separate components. The test is broken down into Web Browsing 2.0 which measures the performance when rendering a page; Video Editing measures the performance when playing, editing, and saving a video; Writing 2.0 and Photo Editing 2.0 measures the time taken to open, edit and save a document and image respectively; and last is Data Manipulation which measures the time it takes to parse data from a variety of different file formats. The test will also help see how the Snapdragon 835 will fare when it starts showing up in Windows 10 devices later this year as the PCMark test for Windows is a bit similar to that of Android.

The result shows the Snapdragon 835 test device taking the lead with 8042 points. Next is the Snapdragon 820 toting Xperia X Performance with 5578, the Nexus 5X (Snapdragon 808) with 3346, the Galaxy Note Edge (Snapdragon 805) nets 3392 points, and the Xperia Z1 (Snapdragon 800) scored the lowest with 3101. There is no PCMark for Apple devices, so the A10 doesn’t feature.

The other tests include 3DMark Ice Storm (Slingshot) Unlimited and GFXBench v4 tests where the Snapdragon 835 comes out on top again.

We also see the Snapdragon 835 test device get benchmarked on AnTuTu. The device crosses the 180,000 mark with 181228 points ahead of the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7 which scored 172644 and 170124 points respectively.

OPPO has scheduled March 23 as the day it unveils its OPPO F3 and OPPO F3 Plus smartphones. Both devices are going to launch with dual front cameras, taking the “Selfie Expert” tag to another level. The larger variant, the F3 Plus has showed up on GFXBench.

Like a previous spec sheet leak we saw last week, the OPPO F3 Plus comes with a 6-inch full HD display. There is 4GB of RAM on board and it is paired with 64GB of built-in storage. The OPPO F3 Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 653 SoC and the Adreno 510 GPU.

The GFXBench listing reveals the rear camera as a 15MP(16MP) sensor and only shows one of the front cameras which is another 16MP sensor. While the device does pack some impressive specs, the disappointment comes in the version of OS the F3 Plus comes with it. Instead of the more recent Android Nougat 7.0 (or 7.1), OPPO has installed its own custom version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow on the device.

The OPPO F3 Plus will also come with a 4000mAh battery, have a MicroSD card slot and weigh 185g. Pricing is still unknown at the moment.

ZTE might be dealing with a lot right now like the recent fine by the US Government and the failure of its Project CSX phone, Hawkeye. In spite of that, they have managed to release some impressive devices that cater to the mid-range category. According to a sighting on GFXBench, it appears the communications giant has another device on the way.

The new phone, listed as ZTE Z986 was spotted on the graphics benchmarking site and features some interesting specifications. The new phone is for those who want that extra screen estate as it sports a 6-inch 1080p display. There is a Snapdragon 625 processor paired with an Adreno 506 GPU, so you should be able to enjoy playing games on it too.

The ZTE Z986 has 2GB of RAM and comes with just 16GB of storage. There is just one SIM slot, so it is possible there is a dedicated microSD card slot. The phone has a 12MP camera on the rear that can record 4K videos and a 5MP shooter up front for selfies.

Where the device does excel is in the OS. From the spec sheet, the ZTE Z986 runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat. If the phone gets released in time, it will make it one of the few android phones to ship with Android 7.1.1 pre-installed. There is no mention of the battery capacity but for a screen as large as this, we expect nothing less than 3500mAh.

There is a possibility that the ZTE Z986 will be released in the coming weeks and if you are on the lookout for a phablet with the latest version of Android, you might want to consider it.

The post ZTE Z986 with 6″ Screen, SD 625 and Android 7.1.1 Seen on GFXBench appeared first on Gizmochina.

Among the details listed on the earlier GFXBench appearance include a 6GB RAM and 256GB of storage. Others include a 5.5-inch QHD display, Android Nougat OS and a Kirin 960 chip clocked at 2.3GHz. The camera is listed as a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera.

In contrast, the latest version of the P10 listed specifically as Huawei P10 (VTR-xxx) sports a reduced 5.1-inch 1080p display. The device is listed with the same Kirin 960 processor clocked at 2.3GHz but there is just 4GB of RAM onboard the smartphone as well as 64GB of storage likely expandable. In the camera aspect, this latest version aligns with the previously listed one, packing a 12MP rear shooter and an 8MP selfie shooter.

It is likely that this version is the standard version of the P10 considering the differences in the specs. The previously listed P10 is thus likely the higher version of the P10. What brings more confusion into the mix is the smaller display size it features. That may likely be an error but in the long run, both versions may feature the same screen size and would most likely have the same design. The Huawei P10 would meet with us, full specs in tow at MWC 2017 which is just at the corner.

Recently, an unknown tablet device popped up on GFXBench with some spectacular specs lineup that looks too good to be true. It has now emerged that the unknown tablet could be a Nokia tablet.

The tablet was displayed to have an 18.4-inch touchscreen display with a whopping 2k resolution and is said to support at least 5 finger gestures. The screen size is coming as a bit of a surprise because at 18.4 inches, it is no longer a tablet but more of a laptop screen size. However, we’ll quickly acknowledge the fact that GFXBench’s screen size is not always accurate. It is possible the tablet has an 8.4-inch display.

The Nokia tablet is also listed as running Android 7.0 Nougat as well as being powered by an octa-core Qualcomm chip with a frequency of 2.2GHz said to be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip. The processor is backed by 4GB of RAM and there is 64GB of internal storage. The camera is given as 12MP sensors both at the front and rear cameras. There is also support for WiFi, 4G LTE, NFC, GPS and many other features.

HMD Global released the Nokia 6 earlier today in what could be termed as a silent launch. There were no posters teasing the launch and up till this moment the official Twitter accounts of HMD Global and Nokia have no mention of the new phone.

That aside, quite a number of us are disappointed about the fact that the Nokia 6 gets shipped with a Snapdragon 430 processor instead of the Snapdragon 652/625 or even the more recent Snapdragon 653 SoC. While it does have a generous amount of RAM and storage, sporting any of the other processors mentioned above would have justified its ¥1699 (~$245) price tag. But the question is how well does the Snapdragon 430 perform?

The Snapdragon 430 is an 8-core A-53 processor built using the 28nm process and clocked at 1.4GHz with an Adreno 505 GPU. The processor supports OpenGL Es 3.1+ and has full network support. It is present in phones like the Xiaomi Redmi 3S and the Lenovo K6 which were released last year.

The Geekbench results for the Snapdragon 430 processor in the has the processor scoring 630 points in the single-test and and 2742 points in the multi-core test. For graphics performance, the Adreno 505 GPU achieves a score of 7.1 in GFXBench’s Manhattan off-screen test score.

The Snapdragon 430 processor will handle your basic tasks easily. It will also handle some games well but might find it difficult to handle high graphics 3D games. The graphic performance is not usually more than 6.0, so the 7.1 score might be as a result of the Android Nougat the Nokia 6 is running.

The Nokia 6 is out of the way already, so we should have five or six phones left to be launched, one of which should have a powerful processor like the Snapdragon 835.

The Huawei P9 is no doubt one of the best phones of the year and it has played no small role in pushing the manufacturer to the top of the list of smartphone makers in China. While there is still a good five months before the release of its successor, the Huawei P10, the specifications of the upcoming phone have been released online via a GFX benchmarking test.

The phone whose model number is LON-L29 (the Huawei P9′ model number is LON-L19) has a 5.5” Quad HD display and is powered by Huawei’s latest processor, the Kirin 960 which is clocked at 2.3GHz. The Kirin 960 is the same processor present in the recently released Huawei Mate 9. The P10 sports 6GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and runs Android 7.0 Nougat.

There is an 11MP (12MP) camera on the rear that can shoot 4K videos and has the usual features like face detection, autofocus, and HDR. However, there is no mention of it being a dual setup. The front facing camera on the other hand is a 7MP (8MP) sensor and there is also NFC on board.

All along we had thought the Nokia D1C was going to be the rejuvenated Nokia’s first Android 7.0 running device but GFXBench seems to say otherwise. The Nokia D1C has been listed on the benchmarking website’s database, revealing a comprehensive list of specs the device packs. One which stood out among the pack is the display size which is given as 13.8 inches, a tablet size! The device had earlier ran through Geekbench and AnTuTu benchmarks but none revealed the size of the display.

Well, if you are a avid fan of the Nokia brand looking forward to the return of Nokia phones, you shouldn’t get disappointed just yet. The thing is GFXBench are not always reliable when it comes to the size of the device’s display. More often than not, they provide values not corresponding to reality. Apart from that, the device is also listed as packing a 16MP rear camera as well as an 8MP front-facing camera. There is no doubt this confirms the device is very much likely a smartphone and not a tablet.

Other specs include that the device would be powered by an octa-core 1.4GHz processor which is expected to be the Snapdragon 430 SoC, along with Adreno 505 GPU, 3GB RAM, and more. The device is also expected to run on Android 7.0 Nougat said to be the Android Google Play Edition.

A LeEco phone said to be the Le 2S with model number X720 was spotted on GFXBench with some interesting specifications. The phone has a 5.5” Full HD  screen, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, and a Snapdragon 820 processor clocked at 2.3GHz. While we are not surprised about the screen size, the other specs invalidated the rumors of it coming with 8GB of RAM (or 6GB), 64GB of ROM, and the newer Snapdragon 821 chip.

Other details revealed include an 8MP front camera (should be great for Google’s Duo), a 16MP rear camera (can’t tell if it’ll be dual) that can shoot 4K videos, a fingerprint scanner, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, NFC, and USB Type-C. The Le 2S will also have Quick Charge 3.0 support. The specs also show that it has only one SIM card slot.

This phone won’t have a 3.5mm audio jack, if you want a phone that has that, you should check out their Cool1 phone launched yesterday, it has a 4GB RAM version that comes with 32GB or 64GB of built-in storage, but you’ll have to settle for the slower Snapdragon 652 SoC.

The LeEco X720 has also been certified by the CCC (China Compulsory Certification), so we hope the September 9 date holds. If you remember the X720 model was also spotted on AnTuTu back in June with Snapdragon 821. You can read more about it from here.

Initially, we thought the Moto Z was going to replace the Moto X but the Lenovo owned company released a statement saying the much beloved X series will still continue to release newer models.

What appears to be the M0to X 2016 with model number XT1650 appeared on benchmarking site, GFXBench. A few months back, a device with the same model number surfaced on GeekBench. And while the specs are nothing short of flagship, the phone takes it up a notch by sporting dual cameras.

You might say dual cameras are not special, with the first half of 2016 seeing the launch of nothing less than 5 phones with the feature. But what makes the Moto X 2016 stand out is the configuration. According to GFXBench, the phone’s rear camera configuration is a 21MP and 13MP combo which can both shoot in 4K.

Other specs include a 5.5” Quad HD display, Snapdragon 820 SoC clocked at 2.1GHz, 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM, a 5MP front camera, and Android Marshmallow 6.0.1.

Benchmarking website, GFXBench, is the next stop for the Vivo X7 after leaving the certification office. The website gives us more information about the phone’s specifications and confirms the ones already known.

The Vivo X7 has a 5.2″ FHD screen, a Snapdragon 652 processor clocked at 1.8GHz, an Adreno 510 GPU, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of built-in storage, and a front camera with a higher pixel than the rear: 16MP and 13MP respectively. Well, it is a strategy taken from the books of OPPO, whose OPPO R9 features a similar setup.

The sad thing is the fact that the Vivo X7 is going to launch with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. With Android N almost upon us, it is disappointing that a premium mid-range phone such as this will launch with Lollipop when sub $100 phones are launching with Marshmallow.

We have been patiently waiting for the Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship to launch and our wait will come to an end on February 24. During the past few weeks, the company revealed some of the specs of the device like the processor and the display resolution. But there are some features, like the display, that we are still unsure about. Now, it looks like some of our questions have just been answered, thanks to Xiaomi Mi 5’s GFXBench listing.

The benchmark listing reveals much of the specifications of the device, including the screen size, RAM and storage. So, according to GFXBench, the Xiaomi Mi 5 will come with a 5.7-inch display with FHD 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. This is actually surprising given that almost all of the rumors and leaks about the flagship have said that the phone will come with a much more compact 5.2-inch panel. Even if we were to say that this is probably the rumored high-end model (which could be larger), it wouldn’t make sense as the phone features just 3GB of RAM on board.

The display size is not the only thing that is surprising here. If you look into the features section, among the various sensors on board, you can see that the phone features just single SIM card slot. But recently, the company CEO confirmed via a screenshot that there would dual SIM card slots on the device.

Other specs are pretty much what we expected, so there’s the Snapdragon 820 quad-core chipset on board and 64GB of internal storage. Also, the phone is running on the new Marshmallow Android 6.0 version.

We can’t be entirely sure these are the specs that will end up on the Xiaomi Mi 5 flagship that will launch on February 24. However, let’s hope that the company clears some of the doubts regarding the phone’s specs and features in the coming days.

Meanwhile, you can check out all the confirmed features of the Xiaomi Mi 5 from here.

Benchmarking sites like GFXBench have many a times revealed specs of upcoming smartphones. This time, it was one of the Xiaomi’s upcoming phones, code named Xiaomi Ferrari that was spotted on this benchmarking website. The device did not have a specific model number, but it could be a part of the company’s affordable Redmi lineup.

The GFXBench entry reveals mid-range specs. Inside, the phone has the new Snapdragon 615 octa-core 64-bit processor clocked at 1.6GHZ with Adreno 405, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage space. The display up front is of 4.9-inches and comes with a full HD 1080p resolution. The rear camera will be of 13MP while there will be a 5MP front shooter. Finally, the device will come with the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop version.

GFXBench reveals that the Xiaomi Ferrari scores 692 in its single core test and 2481 in the multi-core test. These figures are just average, but good enough for a cheap mid-ranger.

As you can see, the new Xiaomi Ferrari would fit perfectly into the company’s Redmi lineup. The octa-core processor, 13MP camera and Android 5.0.2 will ensure takers provided the company prices it appropriately.

There are still some information missing like the battery, connectivity options, and pricing. The display resolution in particular is a bit interesting, since we don’t see many companies use full HD resolution on a 5-inch panel. So, lets wait and see if we get more details about the Xiaomi Ferrari. If the phone is real, expect more leaks soon.

MT6595 was one of the best processors released by Mediatek in the past few months. However, we didn’t see many smartphones running this octa-core SoC. In fact, most smartphone these days are opting for a slightly slower but with a 64-bit architecture, MT6752. Mediatek’s MT6795 will reportedly bring the 64-bit architecture to the high end platform and now, we have a glimpse of what could be the first smartphone to use this processor.

A recent entry on GFXBench reveals some of the details of a device code named k6795v1_64. The entry is interesting because it shows that the phone runs on the MT6795 processor along with 3GB RAM. MT6795 is based on the ARM’s Cortex A53 architecture (not A57 which is a lot more powerful but battery consuming) with eight cores clocked at 1.9GHz. For GPU, the phone has PowerVR G6200. The listing also reveals that the phone features a 5MP camera and a 4.6-inch 2K display! Finally, it comes with 32GB internal storage and runs on the latest Android 5.0 OS.

The overall specifications of the phone are quite unusual, especially with a 2K display on a 4.6-inch screen as well as a low end 5MP shooter.

However, we think this might be a test unit and not a retail product. Companies are known to test their products on various benchmark sites before releasing it publicly and this just might be the case here. One more reason why we think this is the test unit is because of the naming. The phone is code named k6795v1_64, development board. So, this could just be a unit assembled for testing the capability of the processor.

We expect a lot of new high end affordable smartphones with 2K display and even 3GB RAM to feature this powerful 64-bit MT6795 processor. It could be even mainstream companies like HTC, which is rumored to release a Mediatek powered variant of its flagship device, HTC One M9 in the coming months.

Anyways, stay tuned to the website for more details. Also, check out the GFXBench link down below for more info.

A few days ago, an entry for a new smartphone called the “Motorola Shamu” appeared on the website, GFXBench. It is important to note that “Nexus 6” is put in parenthesis next to it. Since its benchmark test results are close to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8, it should be a powerful phone.

Earlier, it was reported that the Nexus 6 was being developed by Motorola as a subcontractor and this confirms it.

The Nexus 6 is said to sport a 5.9-inch screen and will have a fingerprint recognition feature. Other than that, not a lot of information has been revealed but based on its benchmark results, expect this phone to be sold as a flagship device.

The follow-up to Motorolla’s Moto X is said to be called the Moto X+1. Although nobody has seen what it looks like or what new features it will have, the Motorola XT912A, which has gone through the graphic benchmark test, GFXBench, has already caught attention. Not only does it have a 5.2 inch touch screen and runs on an Android 4.4.3 operating system, but since its model number has appeared in the Moto X prototype, it will probably be called the Moto X+1.

According to the results of the GFXBench tests, the Motorola XT912A looks interesting with its 5.2 inch screen and 1080p resolution. It also runs on a Snapdragon 800 chip, with 2GB ram and 32GB memory space. It also has a double lens camera. (The front lens carries 2 MP and can take 1080p videos, while the back camera carries 12MP, has an LED light, supports autofocus, and can take 1080p videos) This device also runs on the new Android 4.4.3 operating system. As for now, they are still said to be fixing a few bugs.

The Moto X+1?

This is not the first Motorola phone to bear the XT912A model number. Before the Moto X was released, this phone was also shown to have this very same model number, but the retail versions was sold under different names (XT1053, XT1055, XT1056, XT105, and XT1060). If they don’t change this number, it can just be considered an upgraded version of the Moto X and called the Moto X+1.
