Although the results of Apple's iPhone SE are not being the best as it is known, this does not mean that the rest of the companies do not try to position themselves in the market with models that compete with it. An example is Sony, that everything indicates that it will put on the market two terminals to compete face-to-face with the Cupertino device.
After announcing the range Xperia X At the Mobile World Congress, to shelve the Xperia Z, now it is the turn of different devices with regard to the dimensions of their screens, since these will arrive with panels of 4,6 inches, dimensions that for a long time in the “Android Universe, were not seen with features like those that Sony will include.
The data has a reliable source, such as the performance test database GFXBench, and it has revealed the characteristics that the two Sony models will have, which although they share some details such as the size of the screen or the use of Android Marshmallow, there will be significant differences between them.
The characteristics
As we have said, there are two terminals that have passed through GFXBench and that have the following nomenclatures: F3216 and F3311, the first being the most powerful. Next we leave the summary of the hardware that each of them will use and, in this way, what values if you think they are worth it if you are looking for a phone of less than 5 inches (by the way, the processors are of MediaTek, so the logical thing is to think that they offer a good quality / price ratio).
Sony F3216
- 1080p quality display
- MT6755 Octa-Core 1,9GHz Processor
- GPU Mali-T860
- 2 GB of RAM
- 20 megapixel main camera and 15 megapixel secondary camera
- 16 GB storage
- Includes NFC and is Single SIM
Sony F3311
- 720p quality display
- 6735 GHz Quad Core MT1,3 Processor
- GPU Mali-T720
- 2 GB of RAM
- 12 megapixel main camera and 5 megapixel secondary camera
- 16 GB storage
- Includes NFC and is Single SIM
The truth is that they are interesting and a bet that should be valued positively, but it remains to be seen if the Android market demands models of these dimensions in large numbers (perhaps in Asia the possibilities are greater). In addition, these models could be the first of the new generation of terminals Xperia C. We will see how everything fits into the portfolio of the Japanese company. Do you find these models attractive?
That's great! I love that Sony continues to bet on the Compact range. I have a Z3 Compact and I am delighted! My next mobile will undoubtedly also be Compact.
I don't like 5 inch cell phones at all!
