Sony Xperia 1 VII (XQ-FS54) Appears on Geekbench
Just as we were convinced that things were quiet, the new Sony Xperia 1 VII seems to have made an early appearance. A phone with the model number Sony XQ-FS54 was recently spotted on the popular Geekbench benchmarking site, giving us a flirtatious glimpse of what Sony might be planning for its next flagship phone.
What the Benchmark Tells Us
And based on the Geekbench results, it appears the Xperia 1 VII will pack some serious firepower. The spec sheet has it powered by behemoth Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with 12GB of RAM. And also that it'll come with Android 15 pre-installed straight from the get-go, which should thrill enthusiasts who love staying on the bleeding edge of technology.
Performance, the phone had some respectable figures. It posted a single-core score of 2967 and a multi-core score of 9017. Although benchmark scores don't paint the complete picture, these figures definitely indicate flagship-level capability.
What Else Are We Hearing
This leak corroborates some earlier rumors. Rumor has it that Sony is not going to significantly change the design of the phone, keeping the familiar pattern language of the predecessor. We are also expecting features like a 6.5-inch display and camera system that could feature a periscope telephoto lens.
Enthusiasts of old-school functionality might be delighted to know that leaks also suggest the return of dual front-facing speakers and the ever useful 3.5mm headphone jack – something most other flagships have omitted.
When Can We See It
Officially, though, the Sony Xperia 1 VII release date remains a mystery. But with benchmarking appearing online, we can rest assured that the hype train has already started rolling. More information will come your way soon.
