This Qualcomm Snapdragon 835-powered flagship device surfaced with Android 8.0 on board, and some leaks claim that it will be unveiled at IFA 2017 as Xperia XZ1, next to a Compact version.
Sony is expected to unveil two new flagships at IFA 2017 and, if the rumors turn out to be right, they will debut as Xperia XZ1 and Xperia XZ1 Compact. Although nothing is official yet, the Sony G8441 has just surfaced on AnTuTu. This model should launch as the Xperia XZ1, while its Compact sibling apparently goes as G8341 for now.
Powered by a top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, the G8441/Xperia XZ1 runs Android 8.0 out of the box and features 4 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, but its screen apparently only provides 1,280X720 pixels, and the camera sensors offer just 8 MP. Since this might still be a prototype, we might see some improvements in the final product.
The prices mentioned by various insiders familiar with the matter seem quite high, especially given the specs - around $735 USD for the G8441 and over $850 USD for the bezel-less, 6-inch G8341. We only need to wait for the official launch and hope that Sony tweaks the specs and pricing before the new flagships arrive in stores.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
