New Sony mid-ranger caught at GFX Bench, sports a 64-bit processor
Sony has reserved a spot at the upcoming MWC 2015 in Barcelona next month, and it might just whip out a new mid-ranger once on the stage. This isn't unfounded speculation, though, for an unidentified Sony device has been spotted sneaking through GFX Bench, and the testing spills the beans on its innards.
The mysterious E2003/E2033 is shaping up as a typical low-mid range device with a 4.6-inch display, a resolution of 540 x 960, a quad-core, 64-bit MediaTek MT6752 with an ARM Mali-T760 GPU, 1GB of RAM, and microSD-expandable 8 gigs of internal storage (of which about 4.8GB will be available to the user. The E2003/E2033 touts Android 4.4.4 KitKat, has a rather disappointing, 5-megapixel rear camera (GFX Bench is sometimes wrong about this) with support for 1080p video capture, a 2-megapixel selfie snapper, and can do 4G LTE.
If you're thinking "Xperia E4!", then you share our initial suspicion, though keep in mind that preliminary specs for the E4, while similar, list a different processor (MediaTek MT6582) with no LTE radio on board and a bigger, 5-inch display. In other words, the future of the E2003/E2033 is not immediately obvious at this point.
