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.

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.
