The 5.2-inch handset with Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor that surfaced on Geekbench as Sony G8341 is expected to be unveiled as Xperia XZ1 in early September, during the IFA 2017 trade show in Berlin.
According to some rumors, Sony is currently working on two smartphones that are currently known as G8341 and G8441. Unconfirmed information also claims that these two handsets would hit the market as Xperia XZ1 and Xperia XZ1 Compact. The first of the two has just been spotted on Geekbench, this listing confirming some specs already mentioned in the previous rumors and leaks.
According to the Geekbench database, the G8341/SO-01K handset has a high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor under the hood, 4 GB of memory, and comes loaded with Android 7.1.1 Nougat. The Geekbench scores are 1,909 for single-core tests and 6,459 for the multi-core ones.
In addition to the above, earlier rumors also mentioned a 5.2-inch full HD display and a 3,000 mAh battery. A Polish retailer also listed the G8341 earlier this month with a price tag of around US$880 and the following color options: black, Venus pink, warm silver, and moonlight blue.

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.
